Saffarin Madrasa

Nice hotel within a beautiful building. However, the bathroom had a pungent smell of urine, almost like a previous visitor had urinated on the wooden furniture or the walls. Despite alerting the hotel crew, no action was taken apart from discharging the toilet a couple of times. The hotel seems to be managed by temporary workers who rotate and hardly (or don't) speak french or english and our breakfast (eggs) was served cold on both days. Summarized: nice room (royal suite), but the services and breakfast were below the level of what we experienced in a nearby Riad of 25eur/night the day before.

prachtige riad met zeer vriendelijk personeel. 4 dagen verbleven en alles liep gesmeerd. Online geboekt en geen verrassingen achteraf. Ligging is uitstekend. Vlak bij de Bab Bouljoud (blue gate) het centrale punt vanwaaruit je de medina kunt verkennen.

Be prepared: the riad is in the middle of the Medina with LOTS of winding roads and dead ends. Even with a map you will likely get lost. It also means taxis cannot get to the riad. High pressure to buy dinner as soon as I arrived that turned me off and then again for a tour even though I said I had one booked. No front door key provided so had to knock/ring to get in. Room was on main floor so could hear people talking in the lobby area. Breakfast was breads with offer of one egg cooked to order
