    We had a really nice stay! The riad is beautifully designed and the hosts are very friendly and helpful. Despite some negative comments concerning the location, we didn‘t have any negative experiences. Just stick to the map offered by Pascal and if you get lost, walk along the city wall and you easily find your way back. Also, the area between the riad and the centre is a bit calmer and there are nice options for dining or shopping. All in one - thank you for the amazing time!

    A beautiful Riad inside the old town where you can enjoy the traditional Moroccan architecture and hospitality. Our hosts, a lovely French couple (Pascal and Irene) with two friendly Moroccan housekeepers were helpful, polite and gave us a lot of information what to do in Marrakesh. We met outside the gate of Medina and walked with us all the way to the Riad. They offered a welcoming Moroccan tea with tasty pastries. The breakfast was generous and had excellent quality (was included to the price of the room). They were cleaning the room everyday. You could enjoy a very quiet, clean and relaxing space inside the Riad. That was very important for us as we felt overwhelmed with the busy and dirty streets of Marrakesh. You could order food or something to eat in a very good price. They have also arranged for us a taxi from and to the airport. Definitely we will go again if we visit Morocco in the future.

    It was unfortunate that our stay was interrupted by a building close by collapsing from weakness after the devastating earthquake last September. There was no risk to guests but it did make access just a little bit more difficult. This situation should present no problems for future guests.

    It is a lovely, well maintained riad owned by a French couple who have put a lot of love into it. Zakia and Abdul maintain the property and look after the guests well. The roof terrace is a nice spot to relax, read and enjoy the sounds of Marrakech.

    Breakfast was very generous. Excellent quality. Orange juice, coffee, tea, pancakes, tarte Tatin, bread toasts, butter, croissants, mermelades, yogurts… All prepared at the moment. Good location, inside Medina, quiet and peaceful, very accesible Irene and Pascale, the owners, speak French and English. They are very approachable and talk with the clients like a Family. Only 5 rooms, personal treat. Pascale is there for your doubts, Irene asks about any special need like Dinner or any food intolerance

    A small point was that it was a bit tricky to find round the maze of alleys but this gave you an authentic experience.

    The Riad was beautiful with lots of space and you were welcome to use all areas like the lounge, balcony seating area and the gorgeous rooftop garden. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, nothing was too much bother. Great breakfasts too, lots of choice and lots of food.

My room was very comfortable and spacious, and the breakfast was very tasty. The hosts are very pleasant and responsive, which creates the feeling that you are visiting good friends.

    The initial alleyway approach to the riad was initially a shock and off putting but we soon got used to and embraced it's authenticity. The locals were very friendly but be prepared for the heartbreaking, malnourished stray cats.

    The owners, Irene and Pascal and staff were very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. A very unique, beautiful, authentic and special place to relax and enjoy. A real home from home, very cosy and a delicious breakfast. Don't miss out on relaxing on the very private, sunny roof terrace.There is a wonderful silk shop on the approach which is a must see. The owner Mohammed was so helpful without being pushy. The scarves, purses and soft furnishings were exquisite.

    Nothing! We chose based upon other guests' feedback and our own 100% positive experience mirrored the reviews left by others. The riad offers exceptional value for money and is an absolute gem.

    Wonderful welcome; excellent location, breakfasts were superb and room provided every comfort. We would recommend this riad wholeheartedly, cannot praise or thank highly enough. The owners, Pascal and Irene went out of their way to help us during our stay, they are charming hosts and Abdou and Zakhia were so kind and thoughtful. We would return in a heartbeat. The riad is only a few minutes walk from the souks, restaurants and the gardens (Majorelle and Jardin Secret) so the location was perfect. Taxi transfers to and from the riad were set up for us so it was a really smooth stay, the riad also has a charming roof terrace for enjoying the plentiful sunshine.

    It was a great location for us, but if you want to be in the middle of the action this riad is not the one :) though it is only a short walk to the souks!

    Riad Irene is walking distance to most of the sights in the Medina and the new city (15-30 mins), but it is in a quiet residential area so it is very peaceful. The roof terrace is a fantastic spot to relax, the facilities are very comfortable and the breakfast is good. The staff are super welcoming and helpful, Pascal provided so much information about getting around the Medina and good recommendations of places to eat. They also arranged a taxi for us and escorted us to the Riad when we arrived (much appreciated because we would definitely have been lost otherwise!). Finally, a special mention for the soaps and shampoo which smelled amazing.

    If you see an available booking in Riad Irene - don't hesitate to reseve. Riad is located in Medina but a little away from busy tourist streets so you can expect peace and quiet. Owners Irene & Pascal gave us a warm welcome and care. Both the Riad itself and our room were super clean. It was taken care of by the excellent Riad staff. You will enjoy a breakfast on beautiful patio, great communication before Your arrival, rooftop and other small things which are making a change Thank you for your fantastic customer service.

    Bathroom was a little small but manageable for the short stay.

    Zakia, Abdou, Irene and Pascal were lovely people! They were nice to leave some local sweets for my birthday, also helped to pack breakfast on the day we left as it was an early check-out. Location was great and away from the hustle and bustle if you like a bit more of a quiet night. It is also easy to get to Jardin Majorelle.

    Pretty stylish place. Here you can immerse in living in typical Riad . Located in the old town. Be aware roads are narrow, looks doggy, but that how it goes in old medina. Owners are pretty helpful, will help you with transfer and accompany you to the Riad, then you will get all the information how to move around medina which is pretty important. Beds were comfortable and the breakfast was pretty good.

    Irene and Pascal are the most caring and supportive hosts. They are very accessible, give very helpful advice and recommendations, and genuinely look out for the welfare of their guests. Abdou and Zakia are very lovely and take very good care of the riad and the guests. The breakfasts are always delicious and filling. Abdou kindly prepares an early breakfast on request! The riad is also located in a nice area. It is very easy to walk to the souks and the main attractions. Irene and Pascal can arrange an airport transfer so that the guests can get to the riad easily without getting lost in the medina. Loved the stay at the riad and would recommend it to anyone! Would stay here again and again!
