In the heart of the medina yet lovely and quiet. Helpful staff. Spotless room.

Dar L'Oussia
Hôtel merveilleux, personnel très sympathique et accueillant. La vue depuis la terrasse est époustouflante où l’on prend un excellent petit-déjeuner. Le hammam et message parfaits ! A recommander !

Salut Maroc Boutique Hotel
STE PERLE D'EAU
No heating no air condition and no real window in the room. The shower was low and was impossible to use for a person 1.70 height. The floor becomes wet during all night. And last, my pocket mirror was lost. I noticed when ı came back to home. Never stay again there.

Riad Diamant Blanc
The room was nice and clean, with no dust or odour. The location is great with so many shops and restaurants within walking distance. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The third-floor rooms don't have a balcony, but it didn't bother me. If you need the room with a balcony, it's better to contact ...
