"Located on a quiet street minutes away from Guéliz's many restaurants and shops, this pleasant hotel has a modern feel even though the design is essentially traditional." Full review

Avoid rooms at the front as the street is noisy and windows are small.

For maximum quiet, choose upper-floor rooms overlooking the pool, well above the restaurant and piano bar.

DK Eyewitness
"This stylish Italianowned riad is very Milan-meets-Marrakech. The house is traditional but the black-and-white colour scheme and sleek furniture all imported."
Rough Guide
"This Italian-owned riad is sleek and stylish, with sparse but very tasteful modern decor, palms and banana trees in the courtyard and its own hammam."
Frommer's

Michelin Guide
