Recensioni su Les Jardins de La Médina

This is an excellent hotel/ riad and we enjoyed our stay in a superior patio room. The room itself comes fully equipped with kettle, illy coffee machine, mini fridge, bathrobes and slippers. Supplied with water daily which you can easily replenish from local stores nearby. There is an English TV channel too. All staff friendly and helpful. Breakfast was a good full buffet but also can order poached/ boiled eggs as well as an egg station. They also serve fried bacon on request and have ham available too. Cappuccino and espresso also available to order without extra charge. Atmosphere around the hotel is good and you can enjoy the sunset from their their terrace. Also numerous places to chill and sit during the day. Unfortunately only a few of the loungers around the pool catch the sun and some hoggers during the day who leave their things to reserve. However no big deal as tables and chairs on which to sit and catch the sun and dip in the pool. We had a snack lunch and Sunday dinner in the hotel. Both good. Just note that by “squid” with the squid ink pasta, it was actually octopus which was good. A table magician was in attendance at Sunday dinner (don’t come too late or you may miss him) and he was at the Manager’s drinks party on Wednesday which was most enjoyable with small eats too. Cleaning was good and the evening scent on the pillow was nice. We had the hammam and massage. Next time, I would just have the massage although if you like steam rooms, it was nice and private with no sharing required. Location is good although note that it is in the Kasbah area so nearer to Saadian tombs and Al Bahia palace then Jemna el Fenna (Main Square) which takes 15-20 minutes walk. We ate nearby at Cafe Clock and a great street food charcoal kebab place diagonally opposite La Sultana Riad passageway. The street food place is not open on Friday but otherwise the place most locals went to; can’t miss all the cars parked outside it. We had 4 chicken and 4 sheesh kebabs, stewed beans, olives, chilli sauce and 3 breads for MAD 60. Note no cutlery so eat the beans with bread or bring a spoon. They also have grilled hearts and liver but we didn’t try although everyone around us was eating these. I suggest you try a mixture first and then reorder what you liked most. The chicken was the best for us. I would recommend taking their taxi drivers. Maybe more expensive depending on your bargaining skills but definitely worth it. I left my phone in a taxi and the doorman called him and returned later that evening.
