I can't imagine how they could improve this Riad. Beautifully furnished, spotlessly clean, you are welcomed upon arrival with tea and sweets. Rose petals on the bed and the towels. Great kitchen and meals..Karen and her staff look after you and will solve any problem. A beautiful time.

The Riad itself is a perfect combination of beauty, service & value. The atmosphere is friendly and easy so we felt like we're guests in our friend's home. Excellent room, pleasant fragrance, peace and quietness around. Cool & quiet paradise in the heart of hot and noisy Marrakech. Very tasty food made by careful staff, with an every day little surprise for a breakfast. We got anything we need there and even more - kindness and warmth which can not be bought :)

We enjoyed our stay at La Porte Rouge at the start of our holiday so much we cut short our visit to the coast to return there for our final night in Morocco. Both rooms we had were beautiful and each one quite different. For our second visit we were in a room right up on the terrace and it was lovely to be able to walk out there in the morning and sit in the early morning sun before breakfast. The service was again outstanding - nothing is too much trouble for Adil and the team. There was some confusion over our return flight time and Adil sent someone over to the airport to check the flights for us. He also drove us up to the square and later summoned a taxi at very short notice to take us to the airport. The atmosphere is lovely - friendly but also private - and the attention to detail is excellent: monogrammed towels on the rooftop sunloungers; sunhats to protect you whilst you breakfast on the terrace; rose petals on your bed; and dressing gowns in the bathroom. The Riad is a little way out of the centre of Marrakech - but only 5 mins by taxi or a 15 min walk - and only a short distance from the Bahia Palace and the Saadian Tombs. Definitely the place to stay if you want to be within the Medina, in a riad with character, comfort and excellent service at a reasonable price.

We would definitely recommend this Riad. We arrived in the evening and were greeted with mint tea and biscuits by the lovely Adil, who was very helpful in showing us a map of the city and telling us about places to go etc. We were then given a delightful room, beautifully furnished with a good size ensuite and a safe. Although the hotel owner was not there during our stay, Adil and the other staff were all great and so friendly, and ran the hotel very professionally. We had a couple of lunches and dinners at the hotel, which were delicious, not to mention lovely breakfasts on the roof top terrace, and there was always someone around to look after us.

When booking the hotel we had been worried about the distance from it to the main square, but the 15 minute walk is definitely manageable.We were also a little hesitant about the size of the pool, but we found that it was actually fine because there was a jacuzzi on the terrace as well. All in all, we were completely happy with the hotel. We loved Marrakech but it wouldn't have been the same without such a peaceful, relaxing Riad to stay in!
