We arrived at the riad and were given a horrible room. It was very small, damp with only a very small window in top corner, no air conditioning - something akin to a prison. We explained to the people in the riad that we were not happy with this room. We had to argue with them and once we mentioned that we would contact the agent (we had booked through), they seemed to change their attitude. They then said no other rooms were available for this night but we could change rooms the next day. By breakfast the next morning (08:30) we asked to change rooms and found one was ready, beds made etc. We were very surprised that the room was ready so early (people had left and room was made up by 08:30!). Anyway, we later spoke to our agent and explained how disappointed we were at our treatment. We had paid to stay in a good room for EVERY night of our trip and he agreed that had we not argued our case, we would not have been given a better room.

I would not recommend this riad at all following our treatment. There are so many other riads to choose from. If you have booked this already, then I hope you get a good room, if not argue until you do.

Riad arranged pick up from airport, the driver was ready and waiting even though we were delayed through passport control. He helped with cases and made sure we were met at the reception before leaving.
The Riad is two houses, linked together with central courtyards, along a narrow alley with pedestrians, mopeds and donkey carts but well lit at night. The rooms are basic but comfortable, cleaned every day with fresh towels etc. .
Staff were excellent, always willing to help in any way they could, with advice on where to visit and directions, would give a miss to the restaurant they advised the first evening, food good but expensive!
The position is excellent with short walks to all the main attractions, the only time we used a taxi was to get back to the airport. The two main palaces are less than 10 mins away and the main square a bit longer (due to all the shops on theway).
The roof terrace was lovely for breakfast in the morning with birds singing and a view of the storks on the palace roof. We ate a meal at the Riad one lunchtime, food was excellent and they also serve wine.
The best part was walking through the door from a busy alleyway into the quietness of the Riad, this amazed me everytime, that and the thought that behind all of the simple doors in the street there were places like this.I
I can't say the mopeds were a big problem, although we did see two people on a moped transporting a section of fence panelling 2meters by 1.8meters by holding it vertically between them!!!

My mate and i stayed at this hotel / Riad for a week, great location, easy walking distance to all attractions in the city. It was a bit daunting at first being dropped off by a dark ally way and told by the taxi driver 'it is down there somewhere' friendly staff awaited us who are always willing to give you tips on the city. The Riad itself is basic but for the money you pay thats fine. An enjoyable trip!

Situated down one of the long narrow alleyways of the medina, the Riad Les Oliviers is made of 2 riad buildings knocked together which gives a wonderful rambling feel to the building, and the most amazing roof terrace on various levels. The staff here were so helpful and accommodating, regularly going out of their way to help us, while making us feel at home. There is also the Les Oliviers Annexe round the corner, which is full of plants and small song birds living in the courtyard. Quite enchanting!

The facilities are basic, but adequate - don't go expecting Western standards. There will be plenty of blankets in the winter, but they might be a bit dusty... expect a more Moroccan experience.

Unless you really don't mind a certain lack of privacy and the feeling that you are sharing your space with all the guests, then a riad is not for you!
