Riad Al-Qurtubi

A perfect location close to the Kasbah, Medina & other popular sites but far enough to be quiet. It was a safe haven! It's a traditional Riad (guest house) and the highlight was the home cooked meal served on the rooftop patio at sunset. The customer service was altogether exceptional, nothing was too much trouble.

The beds would benefit from a topper..they are a little too firm but that is common I have found in Tangiers

The terrace and room where amazing. With traditional decoration of the Riad amazing. Free brekky on the terrace was amazing. Private terrace for sunsets to!

Slight smell from traditional wash room.

Lovely staff, top location, the suite was beautiful, the breakfast on the rooftop was lovely, it’s a fantastic place

The safe malfunctioned and there was no functioning master key to open it. A stressful few hours until this was sorted!

Common areas (lobby, rooftop) were immaculate and beautiful. Staff was extremely friendly and super helpful. Room was average size, bed was comfortable, appreciate that we could log into our Netflix account on the TV after a full day exploring the city. Water pressure and temperature in the shower was incredible. Location is very good (the rooftop has crystal clear views of the Strait of Gibraltar and Spain in the background) but just note that it is still a 10 minute hike down a very steep street to get to the medina -- going down is fine, but going back up by foot requires real stamina, especially multiple days in a row.

The only issue was the smell of sewage whenever you would enter the room. We tried everything -- closing the bathroom door, closing the toilet lid, but no matter what, it would still reek every time we came in. Not sure if our brains just got used to it, but I stopped noticing it 5-10 minutes after we would come into the room, but the shock of the smell never went away.
