We arrived early morning and were greeted by Sonia who offered us an amazing breakfast even though this was not initially included. We were then showed the property by Abdul who was very attentive and helpful. He even accompanied us to the big market to find our way the first time. The room we had was on the ground floor, very spacious, a bathroom with a nice tub and beautifully decorated. The bed was kind of on the hard side, but we did not mind. Lovely rooftop patio and a gazeebo with a view of el Koutoubia. The entire riad is decorated with taste and charm, showcasing moroccan artistry. We had to leave early the next morning and they still prepared breakfast for us. As we were to go to the desert overnight, they kept our luggage at the reception. Thank you Sonia and Abdul for your warm welcome in your little paradise. Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay.

If you are going to Marrakesh, THIS is the place to be. Amazing hotel at fantastical location central in the medina. Even the central location, it was very quiet. The hotel staff is the most amazing people, excellent service at all time! Clean and beauty full room in real luxury Marokken style. Very good breakfast, With small differences each day.

It was a heavenly experience. The staff was really helpful at all times, the location is perfect, the food was out of this world. I am definitely going back there and I recommend this riad to anybody that wishes to live a true, exquisite Morrocan experience.

Very welcoming staff, delicious juice and cookies on arrival, rooms are exceptionally nice and include water and snacks (nuts, raisins...). Although you don't get a key to the room, you feel very safe. We left in the early morning and there was no problem with the breakfast, one of the staff members even carried our bags to the taxi a few streets away.

The place is amazing and the staff is very friendly and helpfull. The hostess was absolutely available, she gaves very good recommendation and did everything she could to help to organize our trip. The breakfast is wonderful and different everyday. If you decide to have lunch or dinner in the Riad, the Chef will prepare you very good Moroccan food which will be served in a very Romantic patio. Location is very convenient. The Riad in located in a quite spot right in the heart of the medina.

Staff Mohammed was really helpful and kind! Actually all the staffs in the riad were exceptional. The place our taxi driver dropped us off was not that close to the riad so it took us a while to find the place(google map does not show a lot of the streets in the medina). But when my brother arrived later that night, he contacted the riad in advance and Mohammed went out to pick my brother up in the square! Sooo kind!!! I recommend you to contact the riad before your arrival, especially at late night, as taxi drivers are sometimes not so reliable (but its safe, don't worry).Also we had to leave early the next morning for the sahara tour and Mohammed prepared early breakfast just for us which was, again, so kind!... Our room was spacious and clean with really nice interiors. Would definitely recommend this riad to others!
