Un oasis de calme pour se ressourcer, proche de la plage, des remparts, de la Médina. Personnel aux petits soins.

Manque une bouteille d'eau de source, qui serait agréable à l'arrivée

sehr schönes Riad in einer kleinen Seitengasse unweit vom Zentrum der Altstadt gelegen, schönes grosses Zimmer, gutes Frühstück und sehr freundliches Personal

Wer einen leichten Schlaf hat sollte unbedingt eines der 2 oder 3 Zimmer buchen die kein Fenster zur Strasse haben, sondern nur Fenster zum Innenhof haben. In der ersten Nacht hatten wir ein Zimmer mit Fenster zur Strasse. Leider sorgt spät abends eine angrenzende, tagsüber unscheinbare, Bar für einen hohen Lärmpegel durch auf der Strasse stehende und laut redende Bargäste.

Lovely stay at this Riad. The staff was very friendly, helpful, and accommodating. Every morning we had a delicious, simple breakfast that was more than enough to start the day. I really liked the security setup: you only get a key for your room, and the staff opens the main entrance for you. It makes you feel very safe and welcome. The location is perfect, as you can easily walk to both the Medina and the beach. On top of that, the rooms were nicely cleaned and tidied up every day. Highly recommended!

Unfortunately, the noise level at night was a major issue. Every single night of our stay between midnight and 1:00 AM, men were arguing so loudly in the alley directly under our window that it woke me up, even though I am usually a very deep sleeper. While the Riad itself is not to blame for this street noise, it ruined our sleep every night. :( Everything else was perfect.;)
