Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Riad Altair is a beautiful haven of peace in the Medina, well-located for exploring attractions like Jemaa el Fna, a short walk away, and Rue Yves Saint Laurent. Guests often enjoy the spacious rooms, some of which feature large bathrooms, and find the breakfast excellent, with fresh fruits, homemade yoghurt, and pastries. The rooftop terraces are perfect for relaxing, and there's even a plunge pool to cool off; some guests have noted, however, that certain showers could be better designed. Many appreciate the home-cooked Moroccan dinners served, which include traditional dishes.
