I stayed at this riad for three nights. I've been visiting Morocco on and off for the last twenty years and stayed in various Imperial cities and up to the border with Algeria. I didn't book this riad, someone else did and when I checked the reviews I was looking forward to staying there. I can honestly say that I don't know why the reviews state "superb", that wasn't my experience. The location is great, short distance to Jemaa El Fna and the breakfast is good, I enjoyed the coffee and the traditional "M'semen". But unfortunately this riad has failed to deliver on the basic needs of a good night sleep and an efficient drainage in the shower room (I was standing in a pool of water while showering because it didn't drain properly). I hardly slept on the first night because I was itchy, the bed was not comfortable and the mattress too thin, On the next day, I moved room but unfortunately my experience hasn't improved. The mattress once again was non existent and this time the pillows were just a sponge and didn't offer any support. Having slept in my sleeping bag I managed to get a slightly better sleep but my body was just achy and so decided to head to hammam for a scrub and a deep tissue massage. I get it this is a three star riad but still the basic of B&B is foremost a comfortable bed, a hot shower and a decent breakfast. It scored on the breakfast, hot shower and friendly staff members especially Karim. He is a nice guy doing his best. I was suppose to stay an extra night but I decided to cancel it. I personally would not recommend this place if you are like me you appreciate and need a good night sleep. Furthermore, the stairs are very narrow and steep. This place has a potential to be a "hidden gem" with decent mattresses, good drainage and decent size towels for adults. The owner is a genuine hardworking lady but she is missing the point of the basics B&B provision.
