Pros:

Wunderbare Besitzer, sehr zuvorkommend, Lage perfekt, Parkplatz in der Nähe.....es ist kein Luxushotel....es ist marokkanischer Stil, sehr alt und authentisch....sauber, das ein oder andere Reparatur bedürftig....aber egal, der Charm macht alles wieder gut! Das Frühstück ist unglaublich gut! Uns hat es sehr gut gefallen, Preis Leistung ist stimmig und man ist in ein paar Minuten Mitten im Geschehen der Medina! Vielen Dank für das schöne Erlebnis bei Ihnen!!!!!

Pros:

L'accoglienza della proprietaria e della famiglia, sempre molto disponibile a soddisfare le nostre richieste.
La colazione è molto abbondante e curata.
Buona la posizione, all'interno della medina.

Cons:

La camera senza riscaldamento: avendo trovato pioggia e freddino, sarebbe stato confortevole avere un pò più di calore.
