Staff was excellent helping us the whole time. Highly recomendable. Centric location, clean and comfortable.

Wonderful location! Very close to the square, and as a solo female traveler I feel safe walking back late at night. Nicely designed riad and I like having breakfast at the rooftop terrace. They provide typical Moroccan breakfast and have maid clean the room every day.

We love everything about this hotel: the amazing staff, great breakfast, perfect location ( just a minute walk to Jemaa El Fnaa), interior design, and the outstanding cleanliness. Our linens including the bath towels were changed every single day. And cleaning the rooms were done daily too. I would highly recommend to everyone visiting Marrakech.

Location was great, rooms were OK, value for money

The hotel is amazing, centrally located, in the middle of Medina, close to anything you need, but also not on the main street so it was quiet and hidden from the non stop rush. The rooms are big enough, clean, comfortable. There is also hot water running all the time (which is something very rare in a riad in Medina). The breakfast is fresh every day and even if it's basically the same, it is nice to have fresh moroccan goodies every morning. The terrace is a big plus, you can enjoy your coffee outside. And the staff was great, they speak a good English, helped us with all our questions and also printed our boarding passes. I'd definitely recommend this place!

Everything was good, staff nice and helpful, we took early breakfast (7:15) a couple of times with no issue. The location is close to the central market, but it's still not noisy at all. Breakfast was decent. Overall, good value for money.

The toilet in our room got a bit stuffy if the light/fan was not on all the time, therefore it smell a bit. Another thing that was a con, although it was not the Riad’s fault, is that our room was next to a very noisy street and we couldn’t close the window.
We had a nice stay in the Riad, the location was really good and we especially enjoyed the breakfast (one of the bests so far) and the terrace was lovely!! I would absolutely recommend this Riad if you wanna stay in a very beautiful and charming place, I also think it is really price worthy!
