we booked it cause it had a 96 or so rate. Unfortunately did it certaintly not live up to it. They had tripple booked our doube room and therefore given us a dorm room (said it was the first time it happened). No atmosphere. On arrival and check out we had to wait an hour or so. Would not stay at this hostel again.

Lovely welcome and a really great room - great Riad altogether really. Staff were very attentive and served a lovely breakfast too. Only downside was lack of lighting in our room and one light that gave me a small electric shock as it had exposed wires. The location was great for going round the souks and the bed was the comfiest bed I've ever slept in. I would definitely recommend this Riad. Thanks for a lovely stay!

We stayed in a deluxe double and the room was huge, the roof terrace and central court yard are gorgeous, breakfast is simple but does the job. The staff were brilliant and always willing to help and could also book excursions at a better price than the local touts. The bedrooms don't have locks which was a little strange and it was very quiet whist we were there so the owner told us of another hostel would could go to to meet some other travelers. Overall accommodation was excellent.

Our stay at Riad Fantastia was for just one night but is was very nice. The lady was very nice but unfortunately she wasn't there the morning we left so I just had to leave the money on the table. We also weren't able to get some breakfast. When we asked for a nice hammam she told us a very nice one :) The room was also very, very nice (amazing beds!) and the Rias is incredibly beautiful. The neighborhood is very alive at night so no reason to feel unsafe.

Awesome staff, specially yaya , who helped us a lot, and Iba, who made my friend tea when he was sick the first day! It was always clean and organized, and it's 2min walk from Djama el Fna and the souks! They also organize the desert excursions, which we took and was amazing! There is nothing to complain about this place, I fully recommend it, and would definitely stay there again! if u need help u can ask them. Rooms and showers were clean. The breakfast was yummi :)

one of the best I've been to. Located in the center of the medina, 3 minutes from Jemaa el-Fnaa. It's calm, relaxing, clean and feels absolutely secure. It has a great roof terrace and the atmosphere is beautiful. But the best thing about the hostel is the friendly and welcoming staff.

Our stay at Riad Fantasia was brilliant! The Riad felt like a home but it was also strikingly beautiful and amazing value for money. It is in a very good location, really close to the action but still very quiet and peaceful at night. Jeanne and Kudos were very welcoming and helpful and the tour they arranged for us was spectacular. Breakfast was lovely and we were warmly welcomed with the obligatory delicious mint tea. Really good experience overall.
