DK Eyewitness "A grand residence that once belonged to a judge, this boutique hotel has 16 rooms ranged around two beautiful courtyards."
Rough Guide "Officially classified as a hotel, this place is in fact a riad in the true sense of the term: an old house around a patio garden."
Star Service "Nestled in the labyrinth of the ancient souks where donkey carts carry spices, rugs and brass work, this boutique-hotel is a jewel of architecture and an oasis of calm." Full review

The rooms are equally impressive, though light sleepers may want to avoid the ground floor, especially if other guests are using the pool late at night.
