Dar Loulema

Property located in the medina, close to major attractions.

On the terrace, the view is beautiful, but the property needs to be well looked after and properly maintained to keep it clean. Additionally, the entrance in the alley had a lot of cat droppings, causing a bad smell—unfortunately, not a good first impression for guests.

Abdul was friendly and very helpful with recommendations. The room was clean, spacious, and quiet.

No shower curtain on n the bathroom leaving the floor wet and slippery.

The breakfast was excellent. Everything fresh. Great selection of jams, honey, cheese with breads.Tea or coffee, both of really good quality. This served each morning by a very nice and gentle lady. The owner’s rep,( whose name escapes me), was on site for much of the time, and was at all times pleasant and helpful. The rooms, although small, are quite adequate for a stay of up to about 5-7 days. I particularly liked the design of the shower. You simply step into a raised marble structure which stops the shower water from flooding the floor. On returning each evening, we found that all towels had been replaced with fresh ones, and the bed freshly made up. There was other ancillary staff here as well, and again, they were very pleasant and courteous. We opted to take our breakfast on the upstairs open terrace, which was nice. There is also a roof terrace with a really nice view of the nearby outlying rocks on the sea. There is also a beautiful landing outside the bedrooms which is tiled in traditional Moroccan style. There is a very comfortable sitting room downstairs where guests can sit , and, indeed take their breakfast if desired. In summary, this place exceeded expectations. Well done to owner and staff.👌

In truth, I could not find fault with anything at this Riad. The only thing that I might mention is that , for the first time visitor, the exact location can be difficult to locate. This pretty much applies to most Riads, due to the fact that they are located in narrow alleyways.

The staff were very kind and resourceful and our room was spacious and clean.

Starting from the route to get to the building, which is dark and dirty - might even make you feel scared of walking there on your own. The building itself isn’t too bad but could do with a little refurbishing. During the early night there was always noise coming from outside the riad - the first night until 1am and the second night until 11:30pm, which is not ideal when travelling with a toddler. The breakfast was a little basic and not extremely traditional. The hairdryer in the bathroom was tiny and quite old.
