    The staff was superb, they helped us with everything (transfer from and to the airport, printing the boarding passes, giving tips for our trip) and went above and beyond! The rooms were clean and comfortable. Location is good, it is 5 min from the square. Breakfast was delicious with different moroccan breads, pastries and fruits.

    Limited choice at breakfast and croissants were microwaved! Would have preferred a front door key so could gain access to property without always ringing the front door bell

    Close to Djema El Fnaa main square, but without the noise. Staff were really helpful and property was very clean.

    The guys who worked there were very friendly and helpful with all my questions and needs. They even came out to find me when I got lost! Nice loungers on terrace and excellent breakfast there. Room was nice and traditional, quiet and correct temperature. Good shower. The plunge pool was nice way to cool off at the end of a day's sightseeing. Very central for main square, museums, hammam etc. Would highly recommend

    It was a little noisy on the last night as there was a celebration and some guests were quite loud . The riad is small so this is unavoidable however this was quite late in the night and we had to catch an early flight so didn’t get the best sleep. Something for guests to take into account maybe .

    we enjoyed everything in this little pretty RIad. The host Ibrahim could not do anymore for us and went above and beyond . I was reluctant to stay in a riad as I always stay in a hotel and this was my first time but it exceeded our expectations. We got a little lost on the first day but Ibrahim managed to allocate us and helped us with everything from start to finish.

    The location was great, close to the main points of the medina with the feeling of being in the tranquility of home in the frenetic city of Marrakech. The room and the bathroom were very comfortable and spacious and they were always very clean. The staff were always very attentive and helpful, giving all the necessary explanations, tips on where to eat and helping with the transfer to the airport. The breakfast was very good and always varied, with fruit and traditional bread.

    Perhaps more variety at breakfast but that’s likely because we stayed a long time… can’t fault anything at all!!

    Lovely breakfast up on the terrace, cleaned wonderfully everyday, helpful and welcoming staff. (Take them up on the offer of airport transfer as it’s not easy to find if you haven’t been before!)

    Simo and his team are lovely hosts. Simo helped us with our travel plans, with the booking of bus tickets, and with deciding what to visit and where to eat in Marrakech. Breakfast was delicious, room very clean and spatious, and the rooftop view was great. Good place to stay in winter as the riad has heating!

    Not that I didn’t like, but I think the shower room and toilet are in need of a renovation, few things need to be fixed and there was a smell that I did not like much, but apart from that, we had a really nice stay at the Riad.

    Our stay at the Riad was perfect, the staff is amazing, specially Ibrahim, we really recommend this Riad to everybody travelling to Marrakesh.

    nothing! (having to leave)

    My partner and I had the pleasure of staying 12 nights here in Winter. There is an exceptional attention to detail and very accommodative staff who make you feel instantly at home. We stayed in the larger room and the smaller room after booking additional nights, and from our experience, each was comfortable and air-conditioned, offering plenty of storage space, free water etc and daily cleaning service. We looked forward every day to the generous breakfast and returning to the peace and quiet of this riad after days spent in the chaos of Marrakech and the surrounds. The manager, Simo, was very helpful arranging transfers, offering transparent advice, and at one point, he went out of his way to tailor a day trip specifically to our needs just so that we could stay there longer. However Simo was not the only one who contributed to our positive experience. Ibrahim and Abdul, the other staff, were always quick to make sure we had everything we needed, and were always in good spirits offering tea to us on the days my partner was stuck working remotely. We also found the wifi speed to be stronger and more consistent than what we have at home, which was a much appreciated bonus. 10/10 would recommend this place to any kind of traveller for any length of stay. Truly a home away from home. Thank you Simo, Ibrahim and Abdul, for your thoughtful hospitality!

    I LOVED everything. The Riad is like a little oasis in the middle of the chaotic center of Marrakech. You are located on the center with total peace and silence. Simo, the manager, was great as well as the rest of employees. They are on top of attentive. Everything is clean, charming and food is tasty.
