Just off rue sidi el yamani & a 4 minute walk to taxis this little gem is ideally placed. It's a 2minute stroll to the souks & 8 minutes to Jemaa el fnaa in the day & 5 at night when the souks are less crowded.
Sidi el yamani is traffic free at night & only a few bikes and deliveries use it in the day so it is very quiet.
The riad has just 7 rooms. 3 at ground level overlooking the courtyard. 3 more are one floor up and 1 at the top. We were in the Asni room on the ground floor. It has very comfortable twin beds, a seating area with a small table & separate en suite bathroom with a large walk in shower with both a rainfall & hand held shower. Good quality toiletries & towels are provided and replaced when required.
Breakfast is served on the roof terrace or in the courtyard and is tasty mix of yoghurt or fresh fruit salad, bread rolls, local flat breads, cake, preserves, soft cheese, olive oil, amlou and honey along with eggs cooked to your choice and fresh orange juice and coffee.
We were even welcomed back by Ali from a hard day’s haggling in the souks with complementary mint tea.
The whole ambience of the riad is tranquil and unobtrusive and the two guys deal with all requests with patience and constant smiles.
Jamal is there from about 7.00 p.m. and also serves breakfast and Ali is there from about 11.00 a.m.until 7.00 p.m. Both are very friendly, speak good English and happily go above and beyond their basic duties. 5 star & we'll be back. GO, enjoy.
