Pros
Central location in the medina, a 2-minute walk from Skala and less than 5 minutes from shopping areas, yet quiet on a side street.
Staff consistently praised for hospitality, with hosts like Hicham, Hamza, and Sara providing attentive service and local recommendations.
Breakfast is freshly prepared, including homemade items like msemen, yogurt, and omelettes, served on a terrace protected from the wind.
Rooms are spacious and clean, with comfortable beds, modern decor, and some offering bathtubs and private terraces.
Cons
Some rooms lack a bathroom door, using only a curtain for privacy.
Water pressure in the rainshower can be low, and the shower design may lead to a wet bathroom floor.
