Just got back from a week at the Riad Opale. The location is great just 15 to 29 mins from the main square and lies just inside the Medina. The staff are very good apart from the night man who should not be in the business. The rooms are kept clean and tidy and the staff are as honest as the day is long. We went out one day and left the safe ( which is free ) wide open with two iPads, passports, credit cards and about a thousand pounds in cash. Nothing was touched and the maid wagged her finger at us in the morning for leaving it open.
Marrakesh is a mad house with one million inhabitants. 95% of whom ride scooters, so the air pollution is terrible, enough to make you feel nauseous. There is always a hand in your face asking for money but as the average wage is so low who can blame them.
I can recommend the Kosy Bar for food but like most of the restaurants in Marrakesh very expensive. We had three courses, the food was excellent, with wine, which is also very expensive. With tip the meal came to just over £90.00. I,m glad we took plenty of money.
If I can knock this Riad it is for the paltry breakfast which in my opinion is served to late.
