Disliked: Amenities
We didn’t enjoy parts of our stay. There were no rugs for the cold floors or hand towels in the bathroom. The staff didn’t seem to enjoy our being there which made us feel uncomfortable at times. It was okay as a place to stay, not great. The first riad we weren’t offered tea upon our arrival too.

Super Riad
This was our second stay at the riad and everything was great once again. Yousef on reception and the staff at breakfast were super friendly. The bedroom was stylish, a mix of contemporary and traditional, with a really comfortable bed. And a tasty breakfast on the roof terrace with amazing sea views. Just wonderful :-)

Well managed, proper riad with reasonable price
The riad is clean, well managed, and friendly. The price is very reasonable, and it is worth staying several nights here - I have stayed in other riads, and I can say that this is one of the best among others inside the medina, especially given the reasonable price. Breakfast in terrace is great including good coffee, fresh juice, and eggs. the only con is the closeness to the mosque - the payer might wake you up at 06:00 in the morning.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
You get what you paid for.
This riad was very reasonably priced and we discovered why - it was not very clean or well maintained. 8 days before arrival and 5 months after they had confirmed our booking they emailed us to say we would have to move to another riad for our second night as they had given the whole riad to members of the press who were there for the music festival. As it happened the second hotel was conveniently placed for the festival parade but we had to walk back to the Benatar for breakfast. Riad Benatar was very basic and not as clean as it should be we had to ask for towels and for water glasses.

Muy humedo
La descripcion de la habitacion no coincide con la realidad. Cuando llegamos nos dieron una habitacion llena de humedad sin television y bastante mal estado. El olor era insoportable, dijeron queno tenian otra. Al dia siguiente nos pasaron a otra con menos humedad pero no era la suite que habiamos reservado

Sur votre site, chambre double, suite junior, 2 grands lits. C'est faux, le 2ème lit est un lit d'une personne. Cet hôtel vous l'a déjà signalé. Corriger cette mauvaise information sur votre site. Si on les chambres sont spacieuses, dans le style du pays. Petit déjeuner sympa, sur la terrasse . Pas beaucoup de clarté dans les chambres, tous les riads sont un peu comme ça

Très bon rapport qualité prix
Très bon hôtel en plein centre de la médina. Bon accueil du gérant avec un thé de bienvenue malgré le Ramadan. La chambre pour 3 personnes était assez grande, seuil bémol, beaucoup d'humidité dans les chambres du 1er étages. Autre point, j'avais réservé une chambre avec 2 très grands lits mais à notre arrivée il n'y avait que des chambres avec un grand lit et un petit lit dans cet hôtel. Petit déjeuner sympa sur le toit de l'hôtel.
