Riad Youssef

The complete hotel structure is an historical building (17th century), well restored and decorated, clean and the feeling is to be totally inside the "the real thing". Staff was helpful and kind. We have been upgraded to a Suite (Laila room), furnished with traditional Maroquine forniture and style. The room was comfortable, clean and well climatized. Overall, great value for money. Location is close to Batha Square (ask the taxi driver to drop you there), then walk to the Medina. After about 200mt you are in Talaa Seghira, turn right and Riad Yussef is inside the 4th lane at your right, about 100mt.

Toilette is a little too "basic", even if we don't have any major complain. Just could be easily improved in comfort.

The Riad is beautiful and the staff are very friendly,the manageress has good english and the manager good french. As we visited in winter the pool and hamman where not open but the suite did have a hot spa pool bath very nice after a hard day in the souk!

The riad is difficult to find, being in the medina and the map location on booking.com is dangerously incorrect. We walked from the train station to the position on the map and ended up at a cemetry! We had to trust a local guide (unofficial) to show us the way, which turned out to be a very long way round and quite costly. In fact the riad is not too difficult to find if you get to the Bab Bou Jaloud and walk down the tallaa seghira - get a good map before you arrive - you cannot get a taxi to the front door! this should be highlighted on the description of the hotel.
