The other reviewers have pretty much said it all. Adam the owner could not be more helpful in organizing our stay, arranging airport transfers and tours and the Riad itself is beautifully presented and welcoming. I never met Adam as he was on vacation when we arrived (he told us this in advance) but no matter at all because his father who ran the riad in his absence is a wonderful and hospitable man too! My friend katie and I were made to feel very safe. The Riad is not in the easiest of locations to find or get yourself back to but he walked us into the medina on our arrival and arranged to meet us and walk us back to the Riad in the evening so we wouldnt get lost. Again the next morning he helped us find our way and would have continued doing so if we had needed the help. I definitely reccommend having a home cooked meal at the Riad - the food is excellent and we kicked ourselves for not booking it every night as it was far and away the best meal we had in Marrakech.

The location of the riad, while initially a little daunting, will quickly grow on you. It's in the old medina, but the extremely hospitable owner, Adam, will give you a map. After getting to the taxi stand or to the main square a couple times, it's pretty easy to do it without the map.
The riad is beautifully done. Rooms and bathrooms are nice, each floor has a little entertaining area where you can hang out/wait for friends. Breakfast is pretty hearty, as is dinner, if you were to eat there. We had lamb and chicken tajines; the food was excellent.
We got there very late at night and our taxi dropped us off at the wrong place. We called Adam, he quickly came and picked us up, took us to the riad and then took us out to make sure we had some food before we went to bed. Few places were open, and Adam was very accommodating about places we didn't feel comfortable eating at. Any requests we had while there, big or small, were immediately accepted by Adam.
It's quiet -- no matter how noisy it might get outside, the noise doesn't travel indoors at all. Really good value for money.

My husband and I had a unforgettable stay at Riad Slawi. Adam the owner, arranged airport transfers and welcomed us into the riad as if it was our home. He couldn't have been more helpful! His passion for his business shines through and gives outstanding customer service, paying attention to detail.
We spent Christmas day in the Riad and after having a morning of shopping at the local market with Adam to gather food for our chicken tajine, it was personally prepared and cooked by one of the cooks from the riad and the food standard was of a high standard.

We would highly recommend Riad Slawi to all of you whom are thinking about going to Marrakech!

Stayed December 2012.

The Riad is a quiet and charming place with beautiful surroundings. The manager, Adam is very helpful and gives attention to all practical needs. (He went out and bought bus tickets for us - something we could not easily do ourselves!) The room was very comfortable with a fireplace, small windows overlooking the medina alley and with a spacious and clean bathroom. Dinner our first night (ordered in advance) was nicely cooked Moroccan dishes served together with other guests in the courtyard. Be sure to look around when arriving the Ben Slimane (taxi square) if you are accompanied by hotel staff to know your way back and fourth to the riad. On the hand, the riad is located in a nice walking distance to the Souqs and the Medersa, and further to the main Square. Riad Slawi is highly recommended!
