    We had such a lovely stay at this Riad! The staff were super friendly and always made an effort to ask how our day was going and share little tips and recommendations. It was my partner’s birthday, and they surprised us by decorating the room with balloons, candles, and even a small cake waiting for us when we arrived, it was such a sweet and thoughtful touch! There was also a really friendly cat that hung around the patio, which we loved. The room itself was exactly what I expected, comfortable and perfect for our stay. We also booked the Hammam/Spa, and wow, it was amazing. I was so relaxed afterward I actually had to lie down for 20 minutes just to feel normal again! The location is great, just a short walk from Café de France. The street to the Riad is full of sandwich stalls and local shops. It felt a bit overwhelming at night, but honestly, it’s all part of the Marrakech experience. Overall, I’m really happy we chose this place. Would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting!

    The bed is hard, and i mean like Hard Hard. I had read that in another review but didnt think much of it but for me who has chronic back pain that was kind of annoying, but dont take just my word for it since im really hard to please when it comes to bed. Also the rooms are not well soundproof and you can hear a lot if there is any noice but the riad was a quiet and a cozy place so that dis not bother us. You can also hear the prayers but for me that was an amazing cultural experience.

    The property was so nice and the staff was GREAT. I can’t put it in words how amazing all the staff memebers are, they were always so helpful anytime we needed anything, breakfast was great and we truly liked almost everything. Riads are not hotels but special moroccan housing which i highly recommend for everyone travelong to get the full moroccan experience. Its hard to find at first since the Riads are on tiny little side streets so be prepared with the maps because we totally got lost when we first arrived

    I loved this place from the moment I booked. I was here for one night only but I managed to do everything available in the Riad and it was so worth the stay. I booked the roof top dinner when I booked and the dinner was so good, some of the best I had while I was out there. The spa was heaven sent. It was a little expensive for the area but the quality of the experience was amazing. The rooms are beautiful and so clean. They decorated them beautifully

    Nothing really - particularly nothing that riad management could have solved. Given the design of any riad (all rooms facing the inside around a square) there is hardly any noise coming in from the outside. Obviously, if guests don't get the concept of being quiet enough to not disturb others, you are in trouble. That happened one evening, but riad management immediately addressed that.

    Pretty much everything. Prompt follow up on any questions we had. The riad management clearly loves the work they do and are fully motivated to give a you a pleasant stay. Nice room, good breakfast.

    This Riad has many special touches. The staff at the Riad are outstanding. The communication before our stay was excellent with details of airport pick up and how to get to the riad from the square. We were guided the whole way. Then we were given details on how to navigate the city and tips of what not to do. The riad is centrally located. The rooms are lovely very private and sound proof. We had our breakfast on the rooftop and a dinner made for us which was excellent. Again the staff at breakfast were amazing. Thank you. (They also did our laundry for a small fee which we were very grateful for) 😊

    Nothing to say

    I had a wonderful stay at this charming riad. The location is perfect, right in the heart of the medina but tucked away just enough to offer peace after a day exploring. The rooms are beautifully decorated, blending traditional design with modern comfort, and always spotlessly clean. The experience was exceptional; the staff was genuinely warm, attentive and always ready to help with a smile. I’d happily recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic, welcoming stay in the city.

    Nice clean hotel in the heart of the old city

    Our room was on the ground floor, and its only window faced the lobby, which meant there was no privacy at all. As we stayed only one night, that was not very annoying. But for a longer stay it would be a problem. Also, the door to the room had two panels. One of them was fixed to the top of the doorway, but for someone to pass through comfortably, both panels had to be opened – something quite inconvenient. The price was a bit high.

    Nice setup. Clean and nicely decorated hotel. The location is great. In the heart of the souk, but still so quiet. Very good breakfast served at the rooftop.

    Mattress was very hard, our room also faced the call to prayer speaker, would recommend earplugs.

    Hamou was exceptional. He spent 20 minutes going through our location along with things to do, he couldn't not have been more helpful. Breakfast was large and delicious. Our room was clean and spacious. Would recommend booking someone to guide you to the Riad or an esim for Google maps as taxis cannot reach the Riad. The roof terrace is surprisingly peaceful given it's location in the centre of the medina. The ladies in the spa are very friendly. Would absolutely stay here again.

    The fact that our room was detached from the main building and we had to go outside also to reach one of of the rooms - but we were unlucky with the weather, I am sure in summer it’s fine!

    Pillows need improvement- if you provide one hard & one soft pillow per guest (they already provide 2 each) then everyone will be 😃- Although as everywhere in Marocco the mattress is rock hard. Also perhaps putting up a notice for quiet time after 11.00 pm would be nice - as you can hear people chatting in the riad courtyard - Late into the night.

    Excellent customer service- from the greeting to the breakfast service. Great breakfast - spacious room with good facilities- Bathrobe & slippers appreciated - excellent location-

    Nothing - we enjoyed our stay.

    The accommodation is lovely. Fresh with a modern/contemporary feel. The room we stayed in was clean and well equipped with soaps, fresh towels, slippers, safe, bath robes, hair dryer, shampoos etc and enough plugs for your charge cables (converter required) no direct USB sockets. You get a key to your room and a key to the front door to let yourself in. Plenty of hot water in the shower room. Beds are firm (if you've been to Turkey or Italy you know what i mean) but comfy. Room has TV and aircon but we didn't need it. TIP: We arranged in advance for the Rhiad to arrange the airport taxi transfer (about 25mins) and a 'barrow man' to transport our luggage from the taxi to the door (would recommend you do this otherwise you may struggle to find it). Just email them. The cost is added to your bill - not expensive. We pre booked a meal for the first night as we were going to arrive late afternoon and tired. We both had a lovely 3 course meal and the service was great. Note: No alcohol is available on site. Breakfast was simple and tasty. Fresh croissants and orange juice, omelettes, help yourself coffee/milk...teas if you preferred, tasty jams, flat breads, sliced oranges and honey. Some mornings we had a fresh fruit cocktail as well and small pieces of cake. Plenty to start your day. All the staff were friendly, approachable, knowledgeable, spoke very good English and nothing was too much trouble. Don't be afraid to ask for advice/prices/prebooking etc if you need to get to a tourist attraction. The accommodation is located within the on the edge of the main souk very close to the "Hussle and Bussle" but located on a quite alleyway. We were sorry to leave and hope to return.

    The Riad was beautiful. A cross between the charm of a a high class traditional riad but the luxury and service of a hotel. Wonderful friendly service. Nothing was too much trouble and location for inside the walls of the Old town for the Souls and the square was perfect. Also the massage was one of the best I have had for a long time and I am very lucky about massages. Finally- mimi the cat, who only bothers you if you want to be bothered, which I did, was my new best friend which added to my trip;) Both my Mum's and I would recommend this place and we will difinitly be back.

    This is a separate Riad from the main one and the location is quite central but to reach de main road it’s a very tricky alley…then in the main road to reach the Jemaa el-Fnaa it’s allways very busy with people eating in the road….we had some hard times there during rush hour, it’s probably the most crowded 10 meteres in all marrakesh. Showers were not well designed and spilled a lot of water outside…not very confortable to use, it’s a detail easy to fix and can improve the quality of the stay.many TV’s in the house but we could not tune in any channel… Wi-Fi was not working the second floor and was very poor in the first floor, and we had to use our own internet there, even if they had several rooters in the house.

    Jamila was amazing, thank you! The heated private jacuzzi was great for the kids who had a great time there. Having a spa inside the Riad was also great and very convenient.All the services we used from the riad (dinner, massages, spa and day trips)were very fair priced and great services. We didn’t use much the rooftop but the view was great and a fine place to relax and sunbathe with privacy.

    The staff here are exceptionally accommodating and helpful. The receptionist on the first day made sure we got a map of Morocco and explained to us where to find tourist spots, warned us of potential scams, educated us about the normal price fr basic commodities which was very helpful. They allowed us to keep our bags at their place, while we went for a guided tour and were very caring of our needs. Hammam and spa was very good. The property in itself is aesthetically pretty.
