to get started.

The staff makes the place! Ismael and Abdul were wonderful hosts and were very helpful and friendly. We were traveling with our small son, and they went out of their way to make sure we were all comfortable. We are at the road restaurant nightly because our son would go to bed early, and the food was excellent every time. We loved our stay there because of how kind everyone was.

The location was great as it is close to the Al Koutoubia mosque, but away from the stress of the main square. We LOVED using the hot tub at night. There is a beautiful view of the mosque from the terrace and hot tub and it was a lovely night being able to enjoy both. Ismail was a lovely host and even walked us all the way to our next riad since we forgot to book 2 nights and they were full.

Olivia

Very kind and helpful staff, they even welcomed us warmly after a night out at 5am.. There was a delicious breakfast, the building is cool during the day and easy to find compared to our other Moroccan riads. Recommended!

This riad was so comfortable with all modern conveniences. It was a little hard to find initially but the location (within the Medina) was excellent and we (mother and daughter) felt very safe walking around even at night. The staff was exceptional, spoke excellent English, and was receptive to all our needs. Breakfast was included and was superb as well. We had chicken tagine with olives and preserved lemons for lunch one day which was the best tagine we had during our Morocco stay! I would stay here again and recommend it without hesitation.

Great place. Beautifully presented, the staff work hard to ensure you have a great stay. It’s only a 5 - 10 mins walk to the main square. Can’t recommend this place enough.

Located in the heart of the Marrakesh Medina, this elegant guest house is an oasis of peace and tranquility in a quiet area close to the famous Jamaâ El Fna Square and the citys wonderful palaces and museums.

The air-conditioned guestrooms are comfortable and have modern private bathrooms. Each is individually decorated and mixes traditional ambiance with design furniture.

The guestrooms are grouped around an inner open patio, which features a marble fountain. You can sit back and relax in a deckchair on the sun terrace or in the hot tub. Local specialties can be served on the patio, terrace or in the dining room.

Excursions to the Atlas villages and horse riding can be organized at the property.

This is our guests' favorite part of Marrakesh, according to independent reviews.

No TV, but that's not necessarily bad
Great location for this small and cozy riad, between the Jamaa El Fnaa and the souks, and the Kasbah, but away from all the noise and confusion. Residential area, very safe, although if you arrive at night I would recommend getting a taxi from the riad, as it is a bit labyrinthic. The staff is five stars, very friendly and helpful and smiling. Spotless cleaning, good beds. Nice rooftop with jacuzzi and view to the Koutoubia mosque. Good breakfast with crepes, jams, butter, honey, bread, fruit, fresh juice, sometimes yogurt.

Far from the square. Poor location. Took us around 15 minutes from Jemaa el Fna to get there
Staff spoke English fluently. Great breakfast with American pancakes, french baguette and strawberries for a change. Spacious room and bathroom. Great facilities - hair dryer onboard. Free room service which considering the price is positively surprising

“Excellent staff!! Excellent behaviour! We felt really really welcome!”

Location is a bit confusing initially as the whole medina has these narrow paths and it takes some time to learn how to return to the hotel exactly. Also regarding the location i was a bit concerned for the safety in the paths during the night but to be honest we didn't have any issues and the guys in the hotel ensured us that it is very safe due to being very close to the palace.
Staff is the power of this hotel. All guys were very polite, very helpful and very friendly. Honestly i couldn't ask for more!! Special credits to Ismael who accommodated all our needs and arranged our departure at 3am due to an early flight. It is really great to see happy and friendly people ready to help you when you visit new places! We also met the owner and we were impressed from his professionalism and that he wanted to meet personally the guests!

It was the staff in the Riad who made our stay so memorable.
