Les Matins Bleus

6/10 Okay

"Staff are courteous. The shower area needs a little tidy up but overall clean. Breads and jams for breakfast. The Riad does not show correctly on google maps so hard to find."

Salut Maroc Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Our room (the Casablanca) was hands down the most colorful, gorgeous room we have stayed in and we have traveled a lot. The tilework was next-level and brought us so much joy. The rooftop is equally gorgeous, with food and nightly music that are not to be missed. The entire property makes you smile. And the only thing better are the people who work here. Each person went above and beyond to make sure we had what we needed and when my husband was ill, Rachida came up to give us her duvet, send someone to the very late night pharmacy, and made home rice and special tea at nearly midnight. We are forever grateful and will continue to share stories of your kindness and character. And send everyone we know to Salut Maroc! Love to Rachida and the team!"

Riad Kafila

10/10 Excellent

"We loved the view of the ocean from our room and from the terrace where we enjoyed breakfast every morning. We also loved the location in the medina and how close we were to everything. The staff were all very helpful. They helped us find our way to the Riad when we arrived late at night, helped us find food to eat that night, and helped with arranging a porter to be at the Riad the morning of our checkout. We highly recommend staying at Riad Kafila if you want to have an incredible view and stay in the medina."
