“Historic building, friendly staff”
It's a beautiful building, very old that can't be sound proofed. The staff were super helpful and worked very hard. The room was clean. We gave it a 4 rather than a 5 as some small touches would have helped like a bottle of water replaced daily, body lotion in the bathrooms, less bread at breakfast. The location is deep in the Medina in the oldest part of the City and although safe can feel a bit intimidating walking around. Locals hassle a bit. The tannery tour was very intense and not one I'd recommend unless you want to be sold at and can cope with mega crowds. All in all the history of the city, the vibe and location were very good for a short stay.

“True riad experience in the heart of the medina!”
We stayed for 2 nights along our 10-day trip through Morocco. We were greeted at the 'Fontaine Batha' by a porter with a wheelbarrow who pushed our bags through the narrow passageways to the riad which is DEEP in the medina. I'm from Detroit, MI in the USA, and even I found it a bit sketchy wandering around alone at night or early morning, but I wouldn't say it's unsafe. Download the offline Google map for the city and you should be fine; just ignore the countless people trying to tell you you're going the wrong way or that an area is closed: they're lying. Anyways... Our room (#18) was just below the large rooftop terrace and was very spacious. The bathroom was quite spacious as well, but I'm not a big fan of shower areas without a curtain or glass, as you have to be very careful with the handheld sprayer so you don't soak the floor of the entire bathroom. I found it a bit challenging to navigate the riad as the passageways go various directions and all the doors look identical; pro tip: the room numbers are etched very small on the actual door handles, not on the doors themselves.... Other than that, the actual riad is gorgeous! The central courtyard is very impressive with towering ceilings and artisanship going back hundreds of years. The pool and dining area and 360 views from the rooftop are fantastic; it's a wonderful place to spend time and explore. Overall, if you want a true riad experience in the heart of the medina, this is definitely one of the most authentic we found along our trip!

“A quiet oasis in the Medina”
Perfect location to explore the medina. It's a quiet oasis within walking distance of the Blue gate but far enough inside the walls to get amongst the action. Our room was clean, quiet, and well equipped for our needs. The staff could not be more helpful, quietly working behind the scenes but there whenever you needed them. We only had to mention that we were interested in a walking tour and it was arranged with a local guide, officially registered with the tourist office. Day trip to Chefchaoen? (Blue City), driver booked! Cooking class? no problem, in a rooftop kitchen over-looking the medina? of course! Fancy a treatment in their Hamman, no problem. And every time we needed someone to help guide us in or out of the Medina, Aziz (#1 porter:)) was there with the biggest smile to takes us where ever we needed to be until we felt comfortable enough to go on our own adventures. We cannot thank the team at the riad enough for making our stay incredible.

“An attractive property and low season, stunning value”
In the back alleys of the Medina, it’s an architectural historian’s dream. The purist approach prevents it being as comfortable as it could be but at low season rates (under €80 a night for a 50m suite), it’s a bargain. And the staff are all excellent- notably Yassine, the manager. Genuine hospitality.
