Unfortunately my sister and I were very disappointed with this Riad. We stayed for a long weekend in May 2013. The location is good, right in the centre of the souks. The main courtyard areas were lovely, and for a inexpensive break you get what you pay for. Breakfast was good. But that is as far as it gets. The... More

Having read various reviews on this Riad, I started to doubt my choice. It was my partner's 40th Birthday and I wanted to mark the ocassion and I was not disappointed with the Amssaffah! The location is perfect, right in the thick of things but once behind the grand wooden doors, it was like an oasis, perfectly quiet and peaceful.... More

This is definitely an Hotel with old world charm and in the rushed life we all lead now it has a peace all of it's own. Forget the concrete blocks found in every city in the world and enjoy this completely different place to stay with very obliging staff (especially Fatimah, who runs the place) and with beautiful architecture it...

This riad is a very ornate, authentic Morrocan guesthouse. The communal areas were elaborately decorated and fitted with Morrocan style fittings and fixtures, which made for a good chill out area and meeting place. The communal areas were the only places we found to escape the intense heat of Morroco. The pool is decorative at best but you definitely would... More

This is NOT a 4* hotel, its a 1-2 stars at the most. The hotel itself is ancient, the swimming is tiny (like a little pond without fish) and the water in it is filthy! No-one ever used the swimming pool whilst we were there. The food was far too expensive, and very poor quality which was cooked and served... More

That is not a swimming pool! It is an algae infested plunge pool. It is not on the roof terrace which is poorly equipped. If you're on a budget try somewhere else. However, despite the damp room the staff were lovely.

This Riad really gves you the authentic experience. Tucked away in the northern end of the Souks it is an oasis of calm in the chaotic but fascinating world beyond. As others have said you really need to know how exactly you are going to get to it initially as a) its not obvious and b) few maps cover the... More

My husband and me had a pleasant stay at the Riad. The staff was lovely and Fatima in particular was able to give us great advises and helped us a lot. The installations are very antique and traditional which gives the Riad a unique atmosphere. Nonetheless, rooms could be in a better state and the beds are not the most... More

On arriving at this hidden-away Riad in the middle of the Medina, I faced a bit of a culture shock. It was unlike any hotel you'd find in England. In hindsight, I was only surprised because it rained the day we arrived. However, there is a very friendly and helpful staff working in the Riad. They're willing to give you... More
