Like most Arabo-Andalusian-style houses, life in the two-storey riad centres around a tree-planted courtyard. Built in 1880, the riad offers guests 5 rooms in total and facilities including a lobby with 24-hour reception and check-out service, a hotel safe, TV lounge, café, breakfast and dining room and WLAN Internet access.

This charming guesthouse is only 8 minutes' walk from the main Jemma el Fnaa square and just 2 minutes from the Ben Youssef Medersa, the Marrakech Museum, Ben Salah square and the East entrance of the souks (covered markets). Access by car is very difficult as the streets are very narrow. Guests must therefore book a taxi in advance as the ones available at the airport are expensive and will leave them relatively far from the riad. Marrakech train station is approximately a 10-minute drive from the riad and Menara Airport is around 6 km away.

A continental Moroccan breakfast is served on the patio or roof terrace in the summer. Dinner is served in the Riad Karmela, which is only 150 m away.
