8Verified guest“Lovely old building in a super handy spot, close to the centre, the old market, and seafood restaurants. Also near the bus station, harbour, and sandy beach.”
8Verified guest“My Queen suite was airy with a view, plus a mini-fridge-bar, climate control, and a safe. Staff were all excellent, friendly, and efficient. Great location, and easy for an early morning flight.”
8Verified guest“Charming rooms and a beautiful location, just a short walk from the medina centre and the lively square.”
8Verified guest“Everything was wonderful. We loved the courtyard view from our prestige room. The hotel is right next to the fishing boat ramparts, the Ocean Vagabond, and the heart of the medina. Restaurant Le Mogadorien was a medium walk away. The room had central heating, a laptop-safe, and multi-channel TV.”
8Verified guest“The location was incredible, just five minutes on foot from downtown. Staff were attentive and helpful, and they assisted us with public parking.”
8Verified guest“Super cute and totally stunning. The bed was like sleeping on a cloud.”
