Central Museum Riad ! ”

Mumtaz is an amazing Riad which I have visited for the 3rd time now. I am recommending to everyone who wants a traditional Moroccan style Riad which feels like the Madrasas in Fez and Marrakesh - truly amazing. However, I would be happy if another management would take it over as the hospitality could be way better. No welcome atmosphere, no welcome drink, no smile or positivity by the staff. Very sad.

Nice romantic boutique”

Palatial rooms with beautiful decoration. It would be a lovely getaway for a couple. The location is ideal on the edge of the old city adjacent to the beach. My one gripe was that I wanted a swimming pool and it was listed on Agoda as such. In fact, it only has a hammam.

Великолепный риад”

Это настоящая восточная сказка! Невероятная красота! Очень атмосферно. Милые девушки администраторы окажут помощь в любой ситуации. Расположение просто лучшее: 10 минут пешком от автовокзала, в начале медины, медина небольшая всю можно обойти пешком максимум за час. Найти очень легко по maps me. Сразу за стеной медины-океан. Правда купаться невозможно. Прекрасные завтраки. Очень чисто. Рекомендую всем!
