The gateway to the Medina. It is the perfect location. The staff are attentive and helpful. An oasis after a hot and dusty day exploring the Medina.

I loved the location of the hotel. The hotel is a little “tired” but makes up for it in its unique character.

The location of this hotel is perfect: it really is right next to the medina, and the people-watching is great. The staff are super friendly. The only disappointment was the breakfast.

Excellent central location to the downtown area. Everything is in walking distance.
Not recommended if you require parking but easy to come and go in a taxi.

We LOVED the stay at the Royal Victorian! The interior is gorgeous and intricately painted. It was our anniversary trip, and they laid rose petals and hearts with swan-shaped towels for us in our very clean room. We had a small balcony which overlooked the square which was lovely, and being just next to the Medina was perfect for what we wanted. Water and minifridge provided, tea and coffee, and if you want, room service. They also held our bags for the afternoon while we toured the city!

Absolutely amazing service. I have asked the team for a couple of photos and did it so well. And it was so great just to sit until 11 o'clock at night in the patio with a cup of coffee just in the very heart of the city. Thank you for a fantastic stay.
