“Excellent situation in the Medina”

Hans' welcome at some point near Jemaa el Fna, before arriving at Riad Johenna, is one the most reassuring traits of the property that makes the difference between this German-managed establishment and other Moroccan-ruled ones. They can understand Europeans' needs and try to meet them in advance easily. Very good and reliable recommendations for the stay and visits in the city center. Room is plain, bathroom comfortable. The riad is a bit cold in winter, though they provide a lot of blankets. Nice breakfast time in the terrace if weather allows it. Moroccan breakfast is just ok.

“beautiful house with excellent location”

The house is quite simple, but extremely beautiful. There are only 3 rooms there (2 double rooms and a triple room). We had the triple room. The owners don't live at the house, but there is someone from the stuff there most of the time. In the morning you get a simple, continental breakfast of brea… more

The house is quite simple, but extremely beautiful. There are only 3 rooms there (2 double rooms and a triple room). We had the triple room. The owners don't live at the house, but there is someone from the stuff there most of the time. In the morning you get a simple, continental breakfast of bread, cake, yogurt, jam, coffee or tea and freshly squeezed orange juice. You can also order lunch and dinner, but we didn't try it. As the patio is open, it gets quite cold there in the evenings in winter. One morning it was only 10 degrees (C) outside, so take some warm clothes. In the room however you can use AC as a heater. Make sure you take your own shampoo and soap, as the place does not provide those. When you book the place, make sure you book the taxi - it is expensive (20 EUR), but well worth it - otherwise it is difficult to find the place the first time. It is only about 3 min. from Jemaa el Fna, and it is safe to walk there, even after dark. Sitting on the roof terrace you can hear, if not see, the drums and music from the square

“no heat, no hot water”

cute place, small and safe, only three rooms. Nujet (the maid) was wonderful, but, Hanz the owner, who i only saw once, was very unfriendly. i asked for extra blanket, he said that no one has ever asked for an extra blanket, and didnt give me one. Heat didnt work but he didnt really care. Also he r… more

cute place, small and safe, only three rooms. Nujet (the maid) was wonderful, but, Hanz the owner, who i only saw once, was very unfriendly. i asked for extra blanket, he said that no one has ever asked for an extra blanket, and didnt give me one. Heat didnt work but he didnt really care. Also he recommended i drink the tap water, I didnt, but had it been my first travel, i might have listened and got ill. i wouldnt recommend in winter, becuase, although they have heaters (aircon) in room, it's way too high up on wall (high ceiling at least in my room) to actually feel any heat. hot water worked 1 day of 4, the day it worked i had to run the water 10 min full blast to get it hot, then i shut it off and when my friend entered shower 2 min later, it was ice again. nice place in summer i think the concrete walls and high ceilings would be very cool. but in winter it was terrible. i changed riads to another (cheaper one) in center and no problems with hot water or heat at all.

“Great location, beautiful house”

This was a very relaxing riad to stay in and Naimi was very friendly and helpful - she also created lovely breakfasts. The terrace is gorgeous after a hot day's walking. The downstairs room is quite dark and the kitchen surrounds it so it can feel a little oppressive if the house is busy. The other… more

This was a very relaxing riad to stay in and Naimi was very friendly and helpful - she also created lovely breakfasts. The terrace is gorgeous after a hot day's walking. The downstairs room is quite dark and the kitchen surrounds it so it can feel a little oppressive if the house is busy. The other rooms are much nicer. Bathrooms lovely. Only downside was that we felt a little unwelcome when the owner and his family visited - however I am sure this is an unusual occurence.
