to get started.

The location was very nice; a short walk to the main square. The courtyard was beautiful and a nice place to have breakfast.

Robert, Netherlands

Very good location, helpful personnel, great place to stay.

Aleksandra, Poland

Everyone was super friendly and went above and beyond to help make our stay nice. great location. would def stay here again.

William, United States of America

Great location, 5 min. from Jemaa el-Fna square. It is also easy to find by google maps. The riad is very pleasant with a small courtyard. We stayed at the Gharnata Triple Room. As in all riads, the room is a bit small but ok for two nights, it is as seen in their photos. The wi-fi and the air condioning is satisfactory. The shower is good, hot water available. The staff is very friendly and the breakfast is good. The manager gave us a map of places that we can visit, and arranged a small excursion for the gardens at a reasonable price. (But please note the desert tour offer was very pricey, as we needed to go to Fes) They also prepared a smaller breakfast for us when we had to leave early. Many thanks to the hosts!

Yasemin, Turkey

Breakfast was very good. We received a free upgrade to a larger room which was very nice. The gentleman who welcomed us was very friendly and full of information regarding the area and different excursions that he could set up for us. It is located about 100 meters from the Jemaa el-Fna marketplace, so if you are looking to visit Marrakech and do some shopping there, it is the perfect place.

Ryan, United States of America

The staff is very friendly and eager to help with any questions you may have.

Maysho, United States of America

İt was very near to the center and in the mid of a old square so you was in the middle of the real life but in the riad you could enjoy the quiteness and relax

Fulyayaman, Turkey

Very good location in the heart of the medina, a short walk to the main square and souks. The Raid was well run and welcoming with a nice breakfast included. The Raid was quiet at night so you were not disturbed.

Matthew, United Kingdom

Welcome pot of mint tea had us hooked, breakfast in the courtyard was great and everybody was friendly and helpful. Roof terrace had amazing views.

Penny, United Kingdom

The location, not very far from the main square. The price. We checked in late at night after flying from Madrid, and there was still a gentleman to let us do the check-in.

눉There are only minor things that come to mind. Although we were three people staying, there was no towel or pillow case for the 3rd person. But it was provided without problem when we requested, also the hairdryer. The single sofa bed was not very comfortable.
눇Great location, 5 min. from Jemaa el-Fna square. It is also easy to find by google maps. The riad is very pleasant with a small courtyard. We stayed at the Gharnata Triple Room.

눉There's no quilt, but only a blanket on the bed, which was very Moroccan but not very comfortable, and I'm not sure whether they wash that blanket or not. The room barely had space for two adults and their suitcases.
눇The location, not very far from the main square. The price. We checked in late at night after flying from Madrid, and there was still a gentleman to let us do the check-in.
