Beautifully decorated Riad gives you a rich Moroccan cultural experience. Lofty and everyone else were helpful in every way possible. We loved everything about it!!

Karen United States of America

The staff at the riad is phenomenal and make you feel at home. We celebrated my sister's birthday and they sang happy birthday, brought her cake and flowers. Zamir is super helpful and attentive. Every time we had a question or request he went above and beyond to help us. The location is excellent and close to major touristic places. If I ever come back to Marrakech I'll definitely stay in this place again, worth every cent.

Simply perfect. The riad is beautiful, the room was clean and with a beautiful bathroom, the pool on the terrace is great and the service was impeccable!

Edouard Germany

We really enjoyed our stay here it is a little gem set in the back streets of Marrakesh. We were late getting to the Riad and it was worth being late because Abdoul who was on duty was brilliant so very kind and helpful.

Mary United Kingdom

Staff were very nice especially Samir and Abdul. Very nice Riad as well. Totally worth the money we paid for
