Travellers to Marrakech looking for a safe haven away from the hustle and bustle of the Jemma el fn'a, this is it. The staff are all very friendly and welcoming, the Riad is very clean and comfortable. This was our first trip to the African continent and i have to say we were not dissapointed, the locals i must admit take a bit of getting used to as they are very passionate at what they do obviously (market traders). If you want a more european feel, head out of the Medina and make for the new part of the city where you will find traditional Cafes and Cafes with a european flavour. We had no complaints about this Riad at all and would recommend it to friends and familly.

We enjoyed our stay at Riad Itrane. It was around the corner, then down 3 streets, then down an alley to reach from Jemma el Fn'a. We were able to wheel our bags down to the square for a taxi for the train station. You wouldn't be able to get a taxi that close in the evening as they stop allowing cars into the square after 2 (so I am told). But this did seem more like a small hotel. We only saw the manager a couple of times, but the young man who has a room there (Saiid?) was very sweet. My friend's husband kept trying to call her, and Saiid kept telling us whenever he saw us. He even allowed the husband to call on his personal cellphone and then he came up to our room with his phone. We had the Antares Suite, which had a little sitting area overlooking one of the courtyards. There was no a/c in the sitting room, although there was some in the sleeping area. So we did get pretty warm in the sitting area. There were some people eating in the courtyard on several nights, although we didn't try it. They were served wine with their meal, for which they were charged 150 MAD, even though we had purchased the same wine at the market for about 40 MAD, but that is usual for restaurants. The breakfast was juice, bread, cheese in foil, and some kind of pancake thing. And coffee. They were very nice to let us leave our luggage in our room when we left for an overnight visit to Essaouira, since they didn't have a reservation for that room. They didn't charge us for the night we weren't there.

We stayed here for 7 nights in one of the 3 suites. The bedroom was quite small but we had our own sitting room/ lounge which we tended to use the most. The bed was very comfy, the suite was very clean and the air conditioner worked superbly. Breakfast was served up until lunch time and consisted of fresh orange juice, coffee or tea and breads and jams, this was perfectly adequate.
The riad is located 5 mins walk from Jeema El Fna ( the main square ) and the souks.
The staff were always available day or night to assit with any queries and were always very polite and helpful.
All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would return.

I can't say enough wonderful things about the Riad Itrane in Marrakesh and about its owners and staff. We recently spent 4 nights in this lovely "home away from home". Amidst the noise and chaos of the main square and souks sits this beautiful oasis. Although the walk through the square and down the alleyways was a little daunting, once we entered this lovely riad we felt safe and secure and marveled at the tranquility. Patrice and Charlotte made us feel more like family than just visitors and the entire staff (Abdou, Reda, Karima and Fatima) were there to take care of our every need. For two women traveling alone in a strange land, we could not have felt more safe. The food was always delicious and fresh and the staff helped us with tours and the local customs. You always expect your accommodations to be comfortable and clean (and ours definitely were) but the service and friendliness went far beyond our expectations. I would highly recommend Riad Itrane to anyone who is planning a trip to Marrakech. You will be doing yourself a favor by staying there.
