I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, located in the Kasbah area just a short 10-minute walk from Place Jemaa el Fna. The rooms were beautifully decorated in a modern African theme and opened up to the riad courtyard. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making my experience even better. While the breakfast was good, I felt it could use a bit more variety. Overall, the location, cleanliness, and comfort made it a great value for money.
