Riad Al Akhawaine

  Customer Review on 13 April 2012 

The employees was extremely nice and helpful. This would be an especially outstanding location for first time travelers to Morocco because they offered a lot of valuable advice about how to avoid being swindled. The location is effortless to find, unlike other hostels exactly where you may need to locate a guide to lead you there. Also there were working showers and private bathrooms, which we appreciated soon after the last few hostels we were in.

This is a really gorgeous riad, our room was huge and cozy. The breakfast was also really delicious! The location near the Blue Gate also makes it simple to navigate to.

The employees was very nice (espcially mohammed who works the evening to night shift) and the rooms were really clean and nicely decorated. Included inside the rate is a really good Moroccan style breakfast. The employees can also book you a guide to take you around the medina and suggest restaurants (if you can uncover them! ). You&'re near to the Blue Gate (Bab Bol. ) which makes it basic to uncover ( through the gate bare right, follow the road right as you snake past the restuarants and then head straight until you see a sign up on the right. approx 2 mins walk) when you get there (but take them up on the provide of picking you up, you get a lot of unwanted attention when you have bags) and the location makes it basic to slip out to the Merenid tombs at sunset for an awesome view of the medina. Two other items nearby I would suggest are Cafe Clock (from here go left, first right theough the arch, then first left onto significant street, look for sign on right) if you want to escape the chaos but still have local food (they have a roof rooftop and cooking classes, yoga etc). The other is Riad Fes to grab a drink of their roof top with an awesome view of the medina. Drinks are pretty reasonable so if you can&'t afford to stay here (our riad was beautiful anyway) you can go for the view and a drink that is certainly hard to uncover inside the medina (right on the significant street, on the third left go up and make the first left, follow the road round to the right, it&'s on your left).

The staff were really helpful. The location is great, 5 minute walk from the blue gate but down a side street within the medina so it is nonetheless surprisingly silent at night. Our room was lovely and authentic Moroccan in style. All our belongings were kept safe, even when they looked after our bags for us in their unlocked office after we checked out and prior to we left for the airport. The riad was extremely clean. We were given free mint tea when we asked for it and also the staff would not accept a tip for doing favours for us. There were no hidden costs. We were generally not bothered by staff unless we asked for advice and were not unduly pressured to buy guides or excursions, etc. Breakfast is massive!

This location is much much more than a hostel. It&'s like a hotel. u have satellite tv, climatization, towels and extremely excellent breakfast for free. there&'s a safe box inside the room. Also they clean the room each day! It&'s extremely near to &"blue gate&" which is important because it gets dangerous at night inside the medina.
