    The 4 stars are misleading. Rooms are simple with thin doors. Taxi cannot drive there, 5 Min walk needed but all area is safe. Breakfast could have more diversity, lovely prepared but in way of take it or leave it.

    Pension style with charm, very friendly staff

    I would recommend Riad Dar Sholmes for the warm and friendly hosts and safe and relaxing environment

    We were not expecting to pay 10 euros per person for use of the jacuzzi which we expected to be included in the price. It would have been helpful to be able to pay with credit card for the tax and meals but only cash was acceptable (Dirhams or Euros)

    The Riad was located in a quiet area so it was really relaxing and peaceful after visiting the hubbub of the souks. Ishmail and Salah were excellent hosts and looked after us like family! The breakfast was plentiful and the evening meals were excellent quality!

    One time when many people were showering at the same time electricity went out, but this issue was solved not so long after. Also breakfast could be a little more diversified, but it was nice overall.

    The place was very clean and the rooms and common areas were extremely pleasant. The staff was very nice and went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed.

    They serve typical Moroccan breakfast every day which helped us to feel like locals. However after few days we felt that the selection could have been wider.

    The hosts were extremely welcoming, attentive and friendly. Upon our arrival, we were welcomed by the hosts who prepared for us juice and cookies as well as gave us the city map and told us a few interesting things about the city and Morocco.

    The water pressure in shower is not good, sometimes the hot water was stopping and the water is not getting warm enough. It would be great if they fix the problem.

    It is a really nice Riad, comfortable and clean. Very ideal place to stay in Marrakesh. The staff friendly and helpful, the location is very good, good breakfast, nice atmosphere and terrace, highly recommended

    They don’t serve alcohol (similar to a lot of riads in the Medina) but that was not an issue for us as they let us buy our own bottle and drink on the rooftop 🙂

    The location in the Medina is great (walking distance to most of the main sightseeing points) ; the staff is very kind and helpful, always available and keen to make our stay comfortable ; breakfast is simple but good (bread, fresh fruits, juice, ham, butter, honey, yogurt, pancakes and cakes) ; the rooftop and jacuzzi are really nice!

    The bed was a little hard but that just said more to what I'm used to. A slight smell from the drains but that is to be expected in a city that is so old. This is more just information instead of things I didn't like.

    Staff were always happy to help with whatever your needs were. They were very pleasant and seemed happy to be there. Dar Sholmes is clean and quiet even though you are very close to the chaos of the city. When I go back to Marrakech I will be staying here again!

    The staff looked after us very well and ensured we enjoyed our stay. We also enjoyed their breakfasts and some evenings we also arranged dinners there as the food and the level of service was impeccable! The Riad is located in a good and quite location, it is definitely a hidden gem - would highly recommend!

    We were given a ground floor room which really didn't suit us because there were no windows at all and the door was transparent! This forced us to keep the curtains closed during our entire stay which felt claustrophobic. Breakfast could have been better as well. Jacuzzi didn't heat up much at all.

    The staff was very friendly and the location is superb for someone who wants go explore the medina. Esmail the day receptionist is a great professional who is very friendly and helpful. The jacuzzi was also nice after a long day in the markets

    The WiFi is a bit slow, so may interfere with projects or communications that may require a fair bit of bandwidth.

    Beautiful little nook just outside the walls of the Medina, giving a little peace and quiet. Breakfast was spectacular every morning, fresh and local. The staff couldn't have been kinder nor warmer. Just a spectacular stay.

    Breakfast mainly sweet and we stayed there a week so it was a little bit too much.We think this part could be improved😛 if people are staying longer🤗

    Absolutely everything was Perfect.Very easy to find with MAPS.ME app. Very clean like in a hotel-everyday. Ismael and Salem(i hope writing is correct) are the Best hosts I have ever met-very polite and helpful. Tarrasse with jacuzzi were great place to relax after travelling and siteseeing.We really enjoyed our stay 😊
