Riad in excellent location, just several minutes from main square. Very nice and helpful host, organized excellent one day trips with good discount, advised how to find certain locations within Medina. Nice place to stay. Highly recommend to contact your host in advance before your arrival and to arrange pickup from an airport. It's kind of difficult to find riad for the first time. We happy that we picked this place and spent great vacation time!

The room was spacious and beautiful, with Moroccan-style lights. The breakfast included coffee, milk, honey, local-style bread, butter and jam. The owner is really trustable and helped us with everything.

Jbellmunt, Spain

Very good location, nice decoration, very nice terrasse.

Aurelia, France

The whole riad was nice and clean. The bedroom was clean with AC, the shower was hot, the food was great and it's located 5 min walk from Jamaa El Fna. We were amazed by the decoration and also the staff, Meryem and Aziza were nice and were always there for us. I definitely recommend it for anyone visitingn Marakkech.

Anass, Morocco

Nice rooms and reasonable bathroom facilities. Full breakfast in the morning.

People in riad are allway ready to help you with everything. They offer a possibility to book a trip to Sahara or Ourika or Essaouria (don´t forget - the price is not fix!) Riad is very clean - they clean your room every day and change the towels too. Wifi in reception is fast and you can have a tee on terasse (for free)

Zuzana, Slovakia

The riad is very beautiful, with lots of antique furniture pieces. The terrace has a platform taller than any other riads, which gives a very good view.The maid was very nice and hard working.Staff were very helpful when we got sick from street food.

Duo, France

Excellent location. Anywhere in the Medina (old town) is difficult to find, but with this riad, once you've got it, it's easy, and very central. Staff helpful and accommodating.

Really good location, beautiful view from the roof, kind and friendly staff, beautiful rooms, nice breakfast overlooking the roof scenery of the Medina.

“Run out from here!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Small Double Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉- Hard to find, you need to enter through a weird entrance that wouldn't look like an alley, but it is. - We asked to pay with USD and the owner accepted but made his own exchange rate (even with me showing the actual rate on xe app) - I asked about the "heating" that it said on the confirmation email and he said that "is wrong, call booking". After insisnting about it, he got mad and start shouting me, that take my money and leave if I don't like it... it was a really violent situation and I had to go to the living room since I felt insecure - the room pens to the central living of the riad, with a glass door with curtain, meaning no privacy at all - they gave us 2 mini towels... for shower - next morning for breakfast, we did not get in our table the same products than other guests (we checked), for some reason
눇nothing, please go to another place for that money

“Please stay elsewhere pay a bit more or you will be disappointed.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Standard Double Room
- • Stayed 8 nights
눉Breakfast basic, accommodation as whole requires refurbishment, security of the hotel unacceptable as at nightime lights are switched off and the owner disappears and comes back in morning. Nobody to turn to if emergency happened. The pictures on the booking.com are deceiving as these are not the true likeness of the hotel at present moment in time. The photos on the website are old. Would not go again to this riad. Not recommended.

“A friendly and good value riad in a very central location”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Standard Double Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉Little soundproofing - we could hear the man in the room upstairs, and generally the inside of the riad all feels like one space, and not all that private or closed off when you shut the door. However this is I think a truth about riads in general. Hot water wasn't immediately forthcoming. Upstairs smelled a little damp (though we were there during a rainy patch in March).
눇Excellent location. Anywhere in the Medina (old town) is difficult to find, but with this riad, once you've got it, it's easy, and very central. Staff helpful and accommodating.
