My personal experience was bad. The word RIAD in Morocco means a traditional Moroccan house with a small courtyard, a garden or a small pool of water in the middle; with rooms around it on two, three or four floors. The listing page states; ‘On site parking’ There is NO parking here as this house is in a small narrow street. I had rented a car, so this hotel was definitely not for me. Then the listing page reads, ‘24 hours front desk’.. there is NO receipt here, let alone a ‘desk’.. you have to knock at the front wooden door hard to get someone to open it from the inside. Some old lady in traditional clothes opened the door for me but couldn’t speak a word of English. My wife and I stood in the street while she phoned someone to come and translate. So it was another false statement on the listing page. The shower, the toilet and the wash basin were packed together next to each other in a tiny space. The bedding was stale and did not look clean. The listing page states, FRONT DESK SERVICES: ’Currency Exchange, Concierge Service, VIP Check-In Service, Express Check-In and Check-Out’ NONE OF THIS IS TRUE; there is No Front Desk here. This is a traditional Moroccan house, there is NO NAME of the Hotel written outside the house! Extremely hard to find. A local man saw me ‘looking lost’ and asked for five dollars to take me to this hotel on foot. My wife and I felt unsafe inside and outside this hotel. I had three nights booking but did not stay even one hour. I left this place and found another comfortable and safe hotel not far from the city centre. I wish to emphasise that it was my personal experience; other people will of course have their own opinion of this hotel. I definitely DO NOT RECOMMEND this hotel to anyone. Thanks for reading this rather extended review.
