RIAD EL GHALIA Luxe

This Riad was perfect for our stay. The courtyard is very peaceful which is nice after a day of walking so much. There customer service was also excellent. I also highly recommend having a Hamam at this Riad.

The traditional riad atmosphere of this hotel makes it a charming place to stay. Our room was very comfortable and we enjoyed the food. The staff were exceptionally helpful, offering to arrange visits for us and meeting us from our taxi to help us take the luggage and then helping us to take it back at 03:00 at the end of our stay!

Ahmed and Najib were really helpful. Ahmed organised our tours, whilst Najib did the errands. They were very helpful and had the "nothing is too much" attitude. They were always smiling and Najib was very entertaining. The customer service was excellent and I could not fault either of them.

Ahmed and the staff at Dar El Ghalia are very helpful and make visitors feel welcome. French and English are spoken. The common areas are as grand as you see in the pictures, and are made for relaxing before dinner after a day in the sun. The rooms are clean and spacious (my double room had a sitting area with large sofa, two chairs and a fireplace, comfortable bed, decent sized bathroom). This hotel is good for travelers who like the idea of staying in a beautiful private home rather than a cookie-cutter chain hotel. Breakfast is an assortment of Moroccan breads, butter and jams, coffee and orange juice. All the expected things like hot water, air conditioning, TV, wifi, and a nice breakfast are here, as well as antiques, plants, and tile details. While centrally located in the medina near Place Rcif, arrange for a transfer / pickup if you are coming from the train station or airport at night. You will never find the riad your first time through the winding, dark alleyways. While I do believe the area is safe, as a woman traveling alone, I stayed in after dark to avoid any risk.

A very attractive old riad. We found the waiters very friendly and accomodating. Our room was comfortable and so were the beds. The room was clean. We had breakfoast and dinner in the riad and all were good.
