the location is fantastic, close to many good dining options and the vibrant medina. loubna (she was helpful). i particularly enjoyed the easy access to the koutoubia mosque, just a short walk across the road from the hotel.

convenient location friendly staff helpful assistance

the hotel location is convenient near the medina and various restaurants. the staff was friendly (especially talib), and i received prompt assistance. mouhidime helped with luggage storage, useful. the price reflects the location benefits.

one side of the wardrobe could not be opened because of the bed placement, reducing its usability.

Dining

breakfast is served on the rooftop terrace, a spot with nice views, though access involves stairs. the selection includes many bread options, but i think the breakfast could include fresh fruit. the breakfast was acceptable.

Location

the hotel is just outside the medina, giving easy access to key sites. it is also conveniently located close to jemaa el-fna and across from koutoubia mosque. this makes exploring very easy (i appreciated that).
