Riad Magda & Spa

Riad Magda - long on promises short on delivery We stayed here at the end of our Morocco trip and unfortunately it didn’t live up to promises. Firstly we got hassled for the tourist tax that our tour guide had told them would be fixed the next day- on a 4 night stay. Our driver had to come back to pay it to save problems. On checkin I asked if I could have a late checkout of 3pm- the manager’s words were “ you can checkout whenever you like”. The day before departure I saw him to clarify checkout time and I was told 12:00 was the best he could do because our room was required at 1:00. So we sat in the nice lounge until 3- the room was still vacant when we left. Everything is expensive here- after having washing done all over Morocco I estimate this Riad was 50% more expensive AND our whites came back a delicate shade of blue The staff were quite nice - especially the night manager- in fact he seemed to keep the show together. Breakfast was a big disappointment after every other Riad- one could have yoghurt or fruit but not both; eggs were standard everywhere else but had to be requested here; it was generally a bit short on everything. All over Morocco we we treated to complimentary tea and coffee- not here! We asked for a coffee while we spent 3 hours in the waiting lounge, and at the end we were expected to pay for it, even after having been guests there for 4 nights.

Nous avons passé un agréable sejour d une semaine au Riad Magda . Le personnel est extrêmement accueillant, serviable et tres attentionné. Nous y étions comme a la maison. Il est de plus tres bien placé proche des principaux sites a visiter et en même temps des que vous prenez la ruelle pour rejoindre le Magda vous retrouvez un calme bien merité apres le brouhaha de la ville. Le seul bemol, il meriterait un raffraichissement des chambres et petits d’étails comme le pommeau de douche qui ne tient pas et le pommeau central ne fonctionne plus. La terrasse meriterait un bon depouissierage et les plantes extérieurs et interieurs à être entretenues Notre sejour a ete neanmoins tres agréable au Magda Merci au personnel pour leur gentillesse et leur sourire Muriel et Didier
