We booked this place after reading all the rave reviews on TA. Unfortunately, we were rather disappointed with our stay. The place was clean, and the basics were fine, but there were a few things that we did not like too much:|- The gentleman who met us on our first night was very nice and helpful. Unfortunately, starting on the next day, we didnât see him again. The other staff members we had serving breakfast or staffing the reception for the next few days were not that helpful when we asked for advice and suggestions and were somewhat snooty.|- Part of the online deal we had booked was supposed to include a dinner on one of the nights we stayed. We needed to book this ahead of time (tell them in the morning to make sure they had time to find ingredients and cook for the night). We told the staff member in the morning of our second day that weâd like dinner that night after a day trip. When we got back that night, he basically pleaded ignorance. Weâre not sure if we were not clear or if he misunderstood, but it was quite annoying to have to navigate the Medina again after a long day out just to go get something to eat. The next day we tried to get this dinner again, but were told the deal only included dinner for one person. This may have been on us for not reading the details as carefully, but I do think the language online is purposely cryptic.|- The bathroom in our room was rather damp smelling and humid. I donât believe there was an exhaust anywhere in the bathroom.|- The breakfasts were nice, but it was definitely a carb overload! A lot of different types of bread most days, and since we stayed for several days, it did get a little old after the first few days.||Overall an ok stay. The basics like cleanliness were taken care of, but we still left rather disappointed. Maybe we had unrealistic expectations, but it didnât seem to match up to the level of hospitality that people rave about in the...
   Read moreUnderwhelmed âŠâŠ|Pros:|Great location very close to the square, taxiâs and shops.|Clean rooms.|Lovely hospitable night manager (Hamza) typically Moroccan who was happy to go the extra mile with a smile.|Lunchtime food good and enjoyable when available!|Comfy mattress.|Good air conditioning in bedroom area.||Cons: room 7 dark (no natural light) and noisy (continual banging like someone hammering a nail in a wall between 8 am and 6 pm ish).|Frustratingly poor (Dail up speed) WiFi. If you want to use the WiFi regularly to search / book restaurants, tours / upload photos etc, on your own device do not stay here!|No complimentary water in room. We paid for all the water despite it being 45 degrees.|Poor hospitality by owner and day manager. Felt more of an irritation than guest. Sadly not the experience I have had in other friendlier Riads.|Breakfast coffee, juice and carb overload. Lots of bread with one additional item per day eg, day (1), plain omelette, (2) yoghurt, (3) grapes, (4) banana, (5) plain omelet etc âŠ.. Asked for a yoghurt two days on trot and was told ânoâ by the owners son ~ it was grape day not yoghurt day đ€·đ»ââïž.|Plunge pool although cold and welcoming, given the daily heat, had floating bacteria growth. Please clean and sanitise!!||Left feeling underwhelmed with the Riad overall. It was OK but nothing special. I suspect the location will keep bookings buoyant and if you want somewhere convenient which does not involve a typically Moroccan welcome, WiFi and ongoing hospitality you will...
   Read moreSuperbe Riad mais malheureusement nous avons été déçus de la prestation durant notre séjour.
Le Riad est trĂšs beau, dĂ©corĂ© avec soin et on sent que lâattention est portĂ©e sur les dĂ©tails. Il est trĂšs bien situĂ© et le petit dĂ©jeuner est trĂšs bon.
Malheureusement nous avons eu quelques expĂ©riences dĂ©sagrĂ©ables qui ne correspondent pas Ă lâĂ©crin haut de gamme du Riad. En effet nous avons rĂ©servĂ© sur le site internet oĂč lâon nous indiquait que le transfert depuis lâaĂ©roport est compris pour un sĂ©jour de minimum deux nuits. Je contacte le Riad avant de rĂ©server afin de mâassurer que câest faisable pour eux Ă©tant donnĂ© que notre vol arrive tard (00:40). Ils mâont confirmĂ© le transfert et jâai rĂ©servĂ©. ArrivĂ©s Ă lâaĂ©roport nous avons attendu prĂšs dâune heure devant en passant plusieurs fois devant les panneaux des diffĂ©rents hĂŽtels pour trouver le nom du Riad, sans succĂšs, lâaĂ©roport se vidait petit Ă petit ⊠je les ai contactĂ©s par e-mail puis nous avons appelĂ©s plusieurs fois le numĂ©ro indiquĂ© sur leur site avant de rĂ©ussir Ă rĂ©veiller le patron qui a contactĂ© le chauffeur, sans succĂšs, et nous a dis de prendre un taxi. Le lendemain celui-ci sâest excusĂ© sans donner dâexplication mais nous sommes tout de mĂȘme arrivĂ©s Ă environ 2h30 au Riad. Nous avons payĂ© le taxi, qui devait ĂȘtre initialement inclus dans la prestation, ainsi que des frais supplĂ©mentaires sur nos forfaits pour lâactivation des data et les appels au Riad. Aucun geste de la part du Riad pour compenser. Par la suite, dâautres Ă©lĂ©ments nous ont parus dĂ©sagrĂ©ables : nous avons eu une bouteille dâeau dans la chambre Ă notre arrivĂ©e, mais pas plus. Nous avons demandĂ© au patron si câest possible pour le dernier matin de prendre le petit dĂ©jeuner un peu plus tĂŽt car nous devions partir, il nous a dis quâil nây a pas de problĂšmes, en rentrant du dĂźner nous demandons au personnel prĂ©sent si câest toujours bon pour le petit dĂ©jeuner Ă 7h et il nâĂ©tait pas au courant. Il nous a dit quâil peut nous le laisser Ă emporter devant notre chambre dans un sac, mais sans cafĂ© car ils nâont pas de gobelets. De plus, nous avons pris une prestation au spa comprenant rituel hamam, massage et soin du visage. Nous avons Ă©tĂ© un peu dĂ©routĂ©s par le rituel, on ne nous a pas expliquĂ© rĂ©ellement les Ă©tapes et en quoi ça consiste. Une dame est venue avec des sceaux en plastiques pour les remplir dâeau et nous avions un peu du mal Ă nous comprendre sur les diffĂ©rentes Ă©tapes. Le massage Ă©tait trĂšs bien. Enfin, au moment du paiement on nous propose de payer soit en cash en dirham ou euros ou par carte, mais un supplĂ©ment sâapplique, dans notre cas prĂšs de 15 euros de plus. Nous aurions aimĂ© le savoir avant afin de prĂ©voir, ce nâest pas mentionnĂ© dans la confirmation de rĂ©servation. Au final, le personnel a acceptĂ© de ne pas appliquer ce supplĂ©ment en payant par carte car nous lui avons dit que ça faisait beaucoup entre le transfert dont nous nâavions pas bĂ©nĂ©ficiĂ© et cette information de dernier moment sur les frais supplĂ©mentaires en payant par carte.
Jâai beaucoup hĂ©sitĂ© entre mettre 3 ou 4 Ă©toiles car malgrĂ© ces incidents le Riad a beaucoup dâatouts et le personnel est trĂšs gentil mais nous sommes repartis avec un sentiment mitigĂ©. Nous nâavons pas ressentis une attention particuliĂšre Ă notre Ă©gard. Pour ce prix, je pense que vous pouvez trouver dâautres Riad plus accueillants et offrant une attention particuliĂšre, tout en ayant un...
