Riad Ikalimo 1

location is excellent, right next to the souks and around 10-15 minute walk from a lot of the main attractions. staff are very kind and helpful

breakfast was beyond basic - no fruit or yogurt, just bread and one egg per person every day. rooms were dusty in some corners but rest of the room was clean. water pressure very weak but shower seemed to still flood/drain very slowly. Room looked a lot bigger on the listing.

Very good hotel overall

The Riad was neat, located in a quiet alley, which can be tricky to find when you first arrive as there's no signage pointing to the riad anywhere. The alley comes out at a busy street with some small supermarkets and eating spots. The medina and souks are within walking distance (~5 mins), as well as the Djemaa-El Fna square (~15-20mins). Khalid, the receptionist, was very kind and welcoming and he was always ready to help with any questions or problems we had. Our room (standard room) was quite small (smaller than the rooms shown on the pictures) but clean and the bed and cushions were good. The only thing that bothered us just a little was the fact that we could hear people talking outside of our room when they were in the little courtyard of the riad (our room was at the ground floor) and how small the bathroom of the standard room was. I could not sit on the toilet straight as I would sit with my knees against the wall. The AC in our room worked really well and it was cool in the rest of the riad as well. Breakfast was good and sufficient; we were given the choice to either sit downstairs in the comfortable sofa area or upstairs on the roof terrace. We chose the latter: this was also very comfortable and in the shade. Overall, we had a very good stay at Riad Ikalimo 1 and would recommend it to others as well.

The location was great

The bed was very uncomfortable, the room was way too small, there was a wall right in front of the toilet so I had to sit on it sideways. The drawers from the dresser weren't sitting on sliding rails I had a hard time opening and closing them... breakfast was beyond basic ..I would rather go have breakfast in other places
