I had a decent stay at this hotel. The location was great, right in the center of the medina, making it easy to explore the local market and try out nearby restaurants. The rooms were clean with a lovely Moroccan style, but I did notice some dust and had to request light bulbs for the reading lamps. The service was hit or miss; some staff members were friendly, while others didn't go out of their way to help. Overall, it’s a nice place for the price, but there’s definitely room for improvement.

The hotel had a great location in the heart of the Medina, making it easy to explore the area. While the rooms were clean, they were quite small and lacked privacy, which made them feel noisy. The service from the staff was friendly and welcoming, but some aspects of our stay left us wanting more, particularly the dining experience, which could definitely be improved.

The hotel is located right on a main street, making it super convenient for exploring the area, and my room was spacious and comfortable. The rooftop terrace was a nice touch for breakfast, but I had some issues with the service, which ranged from lovely to quite rude. Overall, it has great potential with its prime location and room comforts, but the service left something to be desired.

I had a pleasant stay with a cozy, oriental atmosphere in the rooms, which also had a nice view advertised with a balcony. The location is superb, right in the heart of the old Medina, making it convenient to explore. However, while the service was friendly, it wasn't always proactive in offering help. The dining options were decent but not particularly noteworthy.

I had a decent stay at this hotel, which is located right in the center of the Medina. The location is definitely a highlight, with everything close by. The rooms were clean, but I was a bit disappointed to find that I got a patio instead of the balcony I was expecting. The staff were friendly but didn’t always seem eager to help beyond giving basic directions. Overall, it was good value for money, but there were definitely some areas for improvement.
