What a fantastic place to stay! This boutique riad is super chic and expertly styled, yet really homely and personal. I arrived mid-evening to an enthusiastic greeting from the fantastically charismatic, madcap evening manager, Sami, who alongside others, was all decked out for Halloween! Within moments we were sharing travel tales and cocktails on the rooftop. The Maison has such a wonderful vibe - laid back and boho, but well heeled, and proficiently managed. All the staff are friendly and speak good English, and I also really appreciated the prompt and helpful response to pre-stay emails. Additionally, the hotel arranged competitively priced transfers from the airport and for my onward travel. Dinner can be arranged, pre-ordered from a concise selection of local dishes. Alternatively, you can get a cheeseboard. Meals are taken either in the cosy lounge, leafy garden, or intimate rooftop overlooking the city. Food was nothing to write home about, I’d probably opt for a cheeseboard next time, but regardless, I had a highly memorable evening and fabulous stay overall. Breakfast was a simple buffet with the offer of cooked eggs, priced at €10. My suite, No4, was absolutely stunning, a sumptuous, cosseting room, styled with exotic flair and myriad chic touches. This room boasts large windows/patio doors, and a spacious terrace overlooking the garden and surrounding rooftops. The hotel has a dinky outdoor pool and its own hammam. The location is superb, slightly elevated, but just minutes walk to the Grand Socco and Medina. I would return in a heartbeat to this charming and oh so ambient hotel, and would highly recommend it.
