This was a beautiful Riad and the breakfast was amazing. It had such a wonderful view and the staff were so friendly and would do anything to help including giving advice about where to go and what to see. Only thing to keep in mind is that it says there is a spa on site but there is not in fact a spa on site, they just refer you to one close by.

A wonderful Moroccan Riad on the foot of the Medina facing the Atlantic Ocean. Wonderful location with lovely Moroccan decor. The rooms are basic and small, but the property is lovely and the hotel manager, Ronone (spelling??), will make your stay incredible.

An amazing stay for such a cheap price. The hotel staff were unbelievably friendly and our room was cleaned to a high standard every day with fresh towels. Breakfast was wonderful and WiFi was fast and reliable. It was a little cold during our stay and I requested an additional duvet and the staff sorted me one there and then. For the price we paid I was over the moon with the hotel and service. The view was amazing too.

The breakfast and the breakfast area were great. The price was fine. Mr. Abdul was an excellent host. The bed was cold and I think damp. The location was good for us in the old town. Easy to find etc. It was nice to stay in an authentic riad

We booked room #1 with ocean view, we loved it. Room is big as well as bathroom, view of the ocean is incredible and sound of the waves hitting the rock is relaxing. We visited in March so it was little cold but there was a little portable electric heater that we used ( didn’t see an AC but they might have portable one similar to the heater) . Now there’s few things that other might care about that we didn’t. They have small water heater located in the bathroom which limits your shower time and you’ll have to wait before the second person takes one. WiFi was weak at that room but with a view like that I’m ok with it, but you can go downstairs and get better signal.

We loved the view of the ocean from our room and from the terrace where we enjoyed breakfast every morning. We also loved the location in the medina and how close we were to everything. The staff were all very helpful. They helped us find our way to the Riad when we arrived late at night, helped us find food to eat that night, and helped with arranging a porter to be at the Riad the morning of our checkout. We highly recommend staying at Riad Kafila if you want to have an incredible view and stay in the medina.
