We stayed 2 nights, and cannot complain at all: we were picked up from the airport with no charge, and the staff was friendly and helpful, and breakfast huge & lovely... The Riad itself is perhaps on the simple side, but really it depends on what you expect, it was very clean and welcoming too!

This was a lovely little riad with a comfortable bed and hot shower. For our room the bathroom was separate to the bedroom but was only for our use. Breakfast was fantastic on the roof terrace with great views. The interior of the riad was lovely and clean but our room could do with a little TLC- the head board... More

The place has fantastic potential, but it needs a little love to bring it back up to scratch and to justify the relatively high asking price. A little bit more scrubbing in the corners, a little bit of paint to patch things up properly and then it might almost be worth it. On the plus side the rooftop terrace does... More

The hotel is located in a busy street of the Medina but as soon as you enter the Riad you literally leave the noisy world outside. The Riad is very quiet, rooms are nice and clean (we stayed in the beige and in the green). What I lilked the most was the availabillity of the owners and the generous breakfast... More

The riad is located in the heart of the medina, not far from the Kasbah. The fireplace makes the place feel cosy in winter, and Said makes you as welcome and at home as much as can be! He will assist you with whatever you might need, and his friendliness is genuine. Our room was just a little noisy (neighbours)... More

We found this place on the internet after looking for affordable accomodations in Tangier. This is a really affordable place to stay and it's very well located, it's is beautifully renovated and quiet in comparison with the activity of the medina. The rooftop gives you beautiful views of the city and you can have your breakfast there even in January.... More

During our stay, it was always a treat to enter in the doorway to the Arous Chamel after wandering through the medina. It was very authentic (although I'm not an expert), and I could see how well the open nature of the courtyard would work in the summer. The rooms are sparsely apportioned with few amenities, but this is not... More

We stayed at the riad for one night. The building is very nicely renovated, keeping the Moroccan style (tiles, decoration, luminaires etc.) and having a unique, silent atmosphere. The ebony room was amazing and superclean. The breakfast in the terrace with the nice views of the medina, the rest of the city, the beach and the port was really good!... More

As I said in the title, the biggest selling point is that this very nice riad is within the medina. Staying in a medina is not for everyone, but Tangier was the third Moroccan city we stayed in so it was no problem (in fact, I enjoyed that aspect). The view is wonderful (you can see the harbor) and the... More

This Riad is tucked away in the bustle of the medina and absolutely a work of art in every detail. Gil and Rashid and Sa'ad were so gracious and became like friends to us making us feel very at home. The breakfast overlooking the terrace and sea was fantastic and delicious. Can't wait to go back and I keep dreaming... More
