Fabulous Riad with very welcoming hosts, who made
From the onset, Riad El Paco has been fantastic. I love the location, the room and the service. I cannot fault Lara and Giovanni - such wonderful hosts! They helped us have a glorious time. We were there for just 4 days, and would easily go back just to stay here. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Little gem hidden amongst the meandering alleys...
The owner Giovanni was very accommodating and had time for his guests. Waffah his assistant was ever so helpful and always wear a lovely smile. Albeit slightly tricky to find, it's situated at a great location (considering where some other Riads were)! Breakfast was lovely and the hotel had character! The deco was thoughtful and exudes a homely feeling. Loved it and have no hesitation to return again.

Great location
The hotel is in a great location. Some really nice food just outside the hotel. Shame about my room Blue Azur as it was at the top the stairs and had a lot of climbing to do. not ideal if you have children or OAPs

Great Location - Good Price
Very nice hotel,well located, clean and sunny rooms, the breakfast is yummy... the only bad thing was that we arrived at 10 pm and nobody was there waiting for us, I had to ask a neighbour to call them to come. I would come back for sure.
