What an amazing 200 yrs old house decorated with original pieces! We had a great stay. The Staff is excellent. They make us to feel at home. The location is perfect to explorer the Medina. I would choose it again!!

5-night trip

10/10

Very nice Riad with a grandeur feeling - my room was large and when enjoying the patio you can really see all the little touches that add to its charm. Location is literally a 3 minutes walk from where you can take a cab. Great Riad within the Medina and very nice host

2-night trip

10/10

It was the best stay of my 10days trip without any doubt! What a place! Riad with history , very authentic. As I was only guest for 2 nights, I got excellent service and huge room with all the comfort. Owner had lived there forever runs the place, so it was great to hear about history. Absolutely good restaurant, nice breakfast. Recommendation: use the tour-guide that they offer you-helps a lot to navigate in the city. Only negative aspect: parking-they just do not have it and You have to leave you car in 7 minutes distance...if they have space in there at all

L’entrée du Ryad, ça va n’est pas trop loin de l’axe principal arrivé au Riyad. Le hall d’entrée est typiquement marocain, ce qui est très beau et magnifique pour les yeux. Par contre arrivé dans la chambre, très dommage de voir que les installations sont vétuste rouillé pas du tout entretenu, aucun joint dans le lavabo des petites choses qui ne coûte rien mais qui font beaucoup. C’est vraiment très dommage car si l’entretien de la chambre serait fait honnêtement ce serait un très bel endroit mais malheureusement je ne peux pas conseiller.

The hotel is a little hard to find, but they have a spray painted sign on the wall (high up) nearby. There is an elevator to get to your rooms, breakfast was nice, room was a little dusty but clean.

10/10

This place is beautiful and the breakfast is nice. It really is a special place that makes you feel like you've gone back in time. I highly recommend it. The towels could have been fresher is my only feedback. We also received help finding a good guide, which I appreciated. We loved Mohammad, who served us breakfast and helped to walk us to the taxis when we needed help.

2-night trip

8/10

This was a nice riad, but could be great. The building is spectacular and I hope someone soon gives it the TLC it deserves. The wine and beer selection was inclusive but the availability of what was on the menu was disappointing... it would be better to have listed only what is really available. The upstairs terrace was dusty but we enjoyed an evening up there despite this. The attentiveness of the main hostess and his helper was on point. Our stay overall was good because our expectations were reasonable based in the price. I would also recommend the riad but at present it is a 3-star property with 5-star potential!

It's beautiful and in such a fun location! The staff goes above and beyond. Tons of smiles. Felt like home.

4-night trip

8/10

Very beautiful place. The place itself can be a tourist attraction. Very helpful and friendly staff. Delicious food. However, half the time, there was no hot water. The location is also not that good as it is difficult to find it amidst the labyrinth that is the old city. The bedroom was upstairs which was slightly inconvenient.

伝統的な造り、装飾がとても綺麗でした。スタッフが親切でした。残念な点としてはテレビが使えなかった事と部屋内の二階の部屋が少し埃っぽくて目が痒くなりました。朝食がパンばかりで物足りませんでした。

2-night trip

8/10

A spectacularly beautiful setting--almost like a movie set ( of 2 centuries wealthy decor). The large dining room was the centerpiece: We were excited when we walked in. Off season the staff were not particularly interested enough in us to bother much- except to collect money. The breakfast was not palatable. So we didn't bother the next day. The server for dinner did not have a clue about serving utensils or other needs! (Probably his & the cook's first night?) Our room was very dark making reading difficult. While 2 antique lamps stood ready, there were no outlets to reach them! The bed was comfortable. The bolster and pillows challenged comfort. The bathroom was very good as was our room's decor. The winding thru the medina eventuality made us feel successful at finding our way back. Note: look way up to see signs for it! In a summary: We suspect El Ghalia is a wonderful setting in which to stay. We just can't say this for February.
