Booked for 2 adults and 2 children and was given a self contained apartment with sitting area and tiny kitchen plus 2 bathrooms over 2 floors. View was amazing, staff polite and breakfast good. Only caution is upstairs bedroom ceiling low (6 feet) and stairs very narrow so may not be good for those with mobility problems. They do have rooms without these issues so just ask but we felt we had the best rooms here for the view alone. Roof terrace a bonus.

Lovely Riad & Staff
Beautiful Riad, nice room & hot water!! The staff was kind, helpful & very attentive. Hubby had a stomach ache and they got him tea to make him feel better. This is our bad - we didn’t realize that we hadn’t paid online when booking. There was some confusion but they were kind & patient with us. They don’t take credit cards but we were fortunate because we had just enough cash to pay for it.

Pleasant B&B
A pleasant b&b. The breakfast and service were excellent. We had a room with a sea view which looked out over the rocks but it meant that the room was a bit damp.

Window became detached upon opening. Made for a chilly, noisy night, but staff quickly repaired, then all was well. Rooms have no heat, but cozy sleeping under blankets. Very quiet. Good breakfasts. Good location, close to souks.

Great riad host
I really appreciated the riad host that he protected my friend from our tour guide who tried to take advantage of her vulnerability. The riad host immediately told the tour guide to leave the room. The host warned us that our tour guide was a crooked snake. I am glad that host stood his ground firmly to protect us and the host treated us with great respect. He served us an amazing breakfast. The riad was beautiful and clean, and it obviously is hundred years old that some areas needed some surface cosmetic work. The terrace on top of roof has good view of Atlantic Ocean. I would definitely return to this location. I want to say thanks to riad host for taking care of us with his protection.
