La Ferme Medina

Me and my cousin went for a coffee and dessert and the guy refused to let us sit as he said its not time for drinks even that the tables were empty! Then he send us to a disaster terrace with no umbrellas at 36 degrees in the afternoon! We told him we’re not going to sit there and we left and he didn’t even apologized for it, and FYI we were coming from a far place after checking their instagram page and ofcourse they weren’t writing anything about no drinks after 6pm!!!

We stayed for 3 nights, afterwhich we stayed at a pre booked 4 star all inclusive hotel. Honestly, La Ferme was so much better and we wished that we stayed here for our entire duration! Pros: - Delicious healthy breakfast is included each morning. They also cater for vegans - Room is huge and decorated beautifully. It felt like I was home - The bed was very sturdy and pillows were super comfortable - Hot water with good water pressure - Amazing bathtub, actually big enough for 2 people - Peaceful tropical vibe - Nice toiletries provided - Safe, central location! There is a vegan / veggie restaurant right opposite, and Jemaa El Fna is 5 minute walk away - Extremely clean - Mint tea was 25 MAD (approx £2) and really fresh and well made - Air Con looked brand new, it was great at both heating and cooling the room - Moulay (owner) was very responsive through chat messaging - We downloaded the inDrive taxi app, and were able to get really cheap rates from La Ferme to everywhere else Cons: - We checked their listing for other rooms in Airbnb and it stated that iron and ironing board is included in ALL rooms. However, when we asked staff, they said they can't provide this and someone can iron our clothes if wished. - TV is not smart TV, it has android player app on there but unfortunately app was not compatible with our phone. We asked staff how we can access netflix and they said netflix is not available. I would suggest to bring a firestick - There isn't a room service phone in the room, so had to come out of bed each morning to request breakfast at the reception - Our room was on the ground floor and its not sound proofed, can hear everything from outside, from early morning to late night - Hot water kept changing temperature depending on whether someone else is using it too - There wasn't any "Do not disturb" signs available. This would have been handy as we didn't want our room to be cleaned everyday - Mattress was a quite firm, but I think this is typical in Morocco - WiFi connection is quite poor, kept dropping every couple of minutes Overall we would stay again.

The place was beautiful and the atmosphere was really nice with live music. The food was good, but the best feature was the waiter Ayoub. He made the experience much better and he was all around very nice guy. He poured tea from such distances it was unbelievable. Would recommend and ask Ayoub to be your waiter.
