This is a beautiful, exquisite riad - the plants and flowers in the courtyard along with the adorable parrot who sings sweetly was so fun. We really enjoyed our room, the entrance to which was from the main floor, and it entered into a small room with a desk and sofa, and there was a separate bathroom/shower with a separate door. To reach the bedroom, one must go up some very steep and narrow stairs. This could be hard for someone elderly or with weak knees. However there are plenty of lights and light switches that we found helfpul so we don't trip. The bed, as beautiful as it was, was the hardest bed that we experienced during our 11 days across Morocco. We tossed and turned a bit. We definitely recommend this riad to everyone, but just be prepared with the bed. Location-wise, the riad is very close to the Al-Ziyat gate (which is not a main gate, but where our taxi dropped us off). The riad is a little away (about 10 minutes walk) to get to to the center of the main action of the souk and the blue gate. One has to take care to get familiar with the zig zag route to avoid taking a wrong turn. It can be a little confusing. Overall we loved this riad and would definitely stay there again and recommend to others. We enjoyed our breakfasts and the hospitality and helpfulness of the hosts.
The riad was beautiful. We arrived in the afternoon and was first led into a reception area next to the courtyard, which gives us a wonderful view of the beautiful courtyard. We were then greeted with some mint tea and biscuits which were lovely. The staffs were all warm and friendly, and was very helpful with carrying our luggages upstairs. The room was spacious, warm and tastefully decorated. It had a very high ceiling which we enjoyed very much. The bathroom was big and quite nicely decorated with paintings. The only thing about the bathroom that can be improved was the bath. There's no shower curtain which made it slightly inconvenient, and the drain was very slow. But overall we really liked the room. The mattress was firm and very comfortable. Lighting was good too. The courtyard is the highlight of the riad, it was absolutely beautiful with impressive mosaic and stone carvings that are in great condition. Enjoyed every second inside it. Breakfast was delicious with a good variety. We especially loved the Moroccan meloui. We would definitely recommend this riad to our family and friends.
