It’s almost impossible to find so they did send someone to walk me to the hotel and walk me back to the car and carry my luggage but it’s nowhere in the write up that it’s difficult. The people were nice and the room was OK.

Buena atencion por parte del personal

Cumple para ir a ver ciudad,muy bien limpieza y atención de Said, desayunos caseros, terraza chula,cerca plaza Jemaa el Fna.Como negativo el aspecto malo de las callejuelas hasta que llegas que no hacen justicia a como luego esta por dentro.Por el precio cumple. Tambien destacar que No hay Spa como anuncia y no pude contactar con ellos antes para contratar traslados del aeropuerto,aunque al llegar Sí nos estaban esperando para la entrada.

Mooie Riad. Prima gelegen dichtbij alle bezienswaardigheden. De service was heel goed. Vriendelijke mensen, doen alles voor je. Het ontbijt was eenvoudig, maar helemaal prima. Alleen de weg ernaar toe is iets minder, kleine achteraf steegjes. Je denkt eerst, waar kom ik terecht, maar als je eenmaal binnenstapt ben je aangenaam verrast.

Rolig placering og venligt personale

Dejlig beliggenhed, en rolig oase når man trænger til en pause fra Medinaens larm og “skønne kaos”. Personalet er meget venlige og imødekommende. Fik endda muligheden for at sende privat sms til en, såfremt hun skulle booke en tid til hammam for mig. De arrangerede upåklagelig bagageafhentning og kørsel til lufthavnen til en meget rimelig pris. Sidst men ikke mindst serverede de en skøn myntete.

Lies on information about having a Spa, Bar, Restaurant etc.etc. Staff were polite but absolutely uselesss asked us if he could answer our questions the next day. Hard to find in the dirty alley ways. Room was sold as a Superior Suite which turned out to be a small room with a double and small single bed crammed in. Very disappointing. Tried to sort things out while their but staff not willing to help.

Parfait super séjour

Parfait hôte à l écoute et présent si besoin sinon séjour parfait à proximité de la grande place donc parfait. Les 2 bémoles sont la localisation impossible en voiture donc il serait bien de préciser qu’il faille se garer dans un parking privé. Là deuxième chose est le petit déjeuner très bon mais il ne reflète pas le Maroc avec ces crêpes melloui et ralcha pour ceux qui connaissent.
