Time Out 2007

"In the quarter behind Bab Fteuh, just a few minutes walk from the Jemaa El Fna, this 250-year-old house has been a seven-room guesthouse since 2000. The owners are English but the style is traditional Moroccan."


Guide de Routard 2006 - 2007

"....It is an excellent balance of quality and price! This riad offers 7 comfortable bedrooms, nicely decorated in a traditional Moroccan style. A relaxing corner alcove on the terrace. Meals on command. A highly recommendable address for the price and character, its relaxing atmosphere, and its welcome. It is best to reserve...."


Conde Nast Traveler

"....Two other winning hotels are the Riad de l'Orientale, where the two-bedroom suites with private terraces and fireplaces are a great deal...."


The Everyman Guide to Morocco

"This lovely, two-centuries-old property, a hundred yards from the famous Place Djemaa el F'na (Bab Fteuh), has recently been restored and now offers magnificant accommodation and sumptuously decorated rooms surrounding a courtyard with a fountain. A serene location despite its proximity to the hustle and bustle of the medina's alleyways and souks. Excellent value for money."
