We slept very comfortably and especially loved having breakfast each morning on the terrace, with its lovely views of the mountains and the Spanish Mosque.

"Do NOT let locals take you to Dar Blue Pearl. Make sure you emphasize it is Casa Blue Pearl. It’s down some stairs near where Google Maps takes you. It was a cute room with AC and breakfast in the morning. Good access to good restaurants and shopping."
"We saw a huge bug in bathroom, also smells weird..
Garden outside is nice, but thats the restaurant, their food is good.
I would not recommend spending a night at this riad."
