Pros:

J'avais réservé, a ma grande surprise la chambre était au sous sol. Je pouvais pas respirer la bas car y''avais de l'humidité et trop ensuite les toilettes du sous sol étaient une merde. De plus au 1er et 2eme étage ce sont ces photos qu'ils mettent sur les annonces. Bandes d'arnaqueurs de merde.

Cons:

Le gars qui m'a accueilli était très sympa et très cool. Mais les chambres du sous sol ne sont pas pour des personnes qui ont de l'asme ou sunisite. J'ai annule le même jour ma réservation mais ils ne m'ont pas rembourser. Mais je denoncerai jusqu'à ma dernière énergie pour cette arnaque. Ils ne dise pas dans la description que les chambres sont au sous sol.

Pros:

Bien placé même si les taxis n’ont pas accès à la rue. Le personnel adorable, on m’a expliqué comment aller à la place, un bon resto et où retirer de l’argent. C’est très jolie

Cons:

Au niveau des chambres, vu le prix ça va mais il n’y a pas de drap sur les couvertures ce qui fait qu’elles sont tachés. Probablement propre mais taché.

Looks good !
Pros:

It's a place decorated in a very Arabic style, it looks great! The hosts are attentive and helpful, and they also speak two or three languages—very nice! Congratulations, guys!

Cons:

The location didn't give me any alternatives; I found it difficult to get in & out there.

Charming stay in a great location in the medina!
Pros:

The staff were very warm and welcoming. They ensured I had a great stay and went above and beyond to show hospitality. The location is perfect, just inside the Medina. I was traveling alone and felt very safe at this location. The building is absolutely gorgeous and the rooftop is perfect for watching sunrises or sunsets and relaxing.

Cons:

The riads are a bit cleaner/nicer than the hostel, which I believe is to be expected. I stayed in the hostel and thought it was still great value for money, I just ran into a couple small issues with cleanliness. However, the staff addressed and fixed my concerns rapidly, so I cannot complain! They truly went out of their way to ensure my comfort.
