Pros
Excellent hospitality from the family owners and staff, who arrange airport pickup, excursions, and desert trips.
Location is 5 minutes from Bab Bou Jeloud (the Blue Gate) and near main streets, making navigation easy in the Medina.
Abundant Moroccan breakfast with pancakes, cheese, and juice, noted for its generosity.
Two fantastic terraces with mountain views, plus a quiet, car-free setting.
Free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and private bathrooms with walk-in showers in all rooms.
Cons
Some rooms on the top floor have poor Wi-Fi signal and may experience noise from the water system at night.
Breakfast can be sparse for some tastes, with limited variety beyond bread, jam, and olives.
The Medina's car-free streets mean access is on foot, though the owners offer paid pickup from the entry point.
