Loved by guests
"The onsite hammam is a bonus, after 5 days of walking the city it was the perfect way to relax."
"We stayed in a room just off the central riad garden, which somehow, despite being in the centre of the Medina was so peaceful."
"As soon as you step inside, the hustle and bustle fades and you are greeted by calmness and sanctuary."
