Riad Sidi Ayoub

I loved this riad, it is really well taken care of and the staff were super welcoming and gave us really nice tips and conversations.

The Riad is very well located. The staff is very friendly, welcoming and helpful. The breakfast was excellent . Delicious Marrocan pancakes were serve with jam. It was so good. Everything was very clean and the room was cleaned every day. When we arrived Hussain came to us and guided us on the streets. It was so helpful. During our stay all staff were very nice.

Everything was great

This Riad is in a great location for walking to the Medina and other tourist highlights. It is very quiet once you are inside. Most of the staff are friendly and try to help. The breakfast is good enough to get you on your way for the day.

Cars cannot get up the alleys and therefore you need to walk with your suitcases for the last bit of the journey - ask the Riad to organise your transfer as the driver will then help. We booked our own transport and were therefore left on our own for the walk using Google maps. Only the owner speaks English and so you need a good handle on Google translate. The rooms are very basically furnished and the provision of toiletries are minimal and very poor quality. Do not rely on them - take your own. The roof terrace is not very attractive and has just two beds and no side tables. Our biggest issue was with the help we asked for with taxis - I know that we were certainly ripped off with the prices for trips inside the city that were agreed between the driver and the Riad staff. Then, as we departed, we were put into a taxi that could only serve inside the city when we were going to the outskirts. Again, with no English spoken, we stopped and another passenger tried to board and we were told that we had to travel with that person in the car to a location to meet up with another taxi that had to take us. That second taxi then did not want to honour the price we had been given. I am not a complainer, and I can cope with all the other discomforts and probably would not have mentioned them in a review if we had not had these problems with the taxis arranged by the Riad staff.

Comfortable bed, it was in a local area

Very hard to find, poor signage. Adults and kids alike at the entrance to the street will try to "guide" you to the riad and then try to get money off you. The rooms aren't sound proofed. The door wasn't secure, flimsy locking mechanism and there was a gap through the door. First night was very loud, took a while to get to sleep. Lighting in the bathroom was dim. Light fittings easily can fall off. The towels are thin, toilet roll is very cheap and no bidet/douche. No shower gel, give you a useless broken bar of soap which doesn't form any later. Shampoo sachets rather than proper shower gel and shampoo. You can't hook the shower head up anywhere and it was positioned very low. Poor value for money. Breakfast wasn't good at all. Very basic. One day we were going on an excursion they said they couldn't provide an early breakfast. We came down to the lobby that day and found other guests being served an early breakfast!
