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.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel, which blended beautiful traditional Moroccan decor with modern comforts. The rooms were clean and very peaceful, creating a serene atmosphere. The staff was incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to assist with our plans. The location is perfect, just a short walk from the main square, allowing me to easily explore the local life. However, the dining experience was a bit hit or miss, with some meals not living up to expectations. Overall, the experience was enjoyable and worth the price, though there's room for improvement.
