“beautiful, great location but a bit weird”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 4, 2013

This is a lovely Riad. We have been to Marrakech several times and this Riad is gorgeous and spacious. The location is also fantastic, it's easy to walk to just about everything Marrakech has to offer. The staff was very helpful and friendly but also did a fair amount of entertaining in the Riad which we thought we had rented in it's entirety. The common areas--which in other riads is generally used by the paying guests--was used by the staff to hang out, watch tv, smoke, and chat. Also, the staff had friends over to use the showers. It was all a little weird, especially for the price. That said, when we asked that the gang refrain for smoking, blasting the tv, and inviting friends around to freshen up, they were very open to our requests. No problem at all. And we left all kinds of stuff (ipods, computers, cameras, etc) around during our stay and, despite the traffic, nothing went missing. All and all a nice stay but I would not do it again unless the price dropped. And significantly.

“So Peaceful”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 8, 2012

We've booked this riad for our whole family 4 nights and we had an amazing stay.
Ali, the driver welcomed us at the airport for our pickup, it would be difficult to find the first time but after it's quite easy, and dropped us off at Main Square Jeema Al Fna where we met Hasia (hope it's ok for her name), she is in charge of the riad.
We walked together with a guy taking our bags and met the owner Patrick for the first time. We exchanged a lot of e-mails with him because in several books we saw that staying in the Medina could be hard sometimes with kids, but it was just wonderful.
Nothing was too much trouble for them.
Thank you so much.
All children definitely want to come back asap.

Room Tip: Book the whole riad is just amazing, home away from home.

“Such a nice surprise.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 15, 2012

Spent 6 days in this riad and had great vacation. Nice room, nice food, very well located in the heart of the souks. Warm in summer time, about 49° celcius but AC was ok, perhaps we'll come back with friends in april or november. Jeema el fna main square was amazing, women take care about your hands, a lot of strange women are trying to draw henna for an expensive price. Definitly come back, thanks every body.

“Exciting Holidays”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 30, 2012

We spent with my wife 3 nights in this riad. We took the airport transfer, hard to find the first time, after it was better. We had nice double room on the roof, it was really hot, more than 40° but A/C worked well. We took very good breakfast every morning on the roof, free wifi was also provided. Assia and Youssef are wonderful staff, welcoming, smiling, nothing was too much trouble for them. Recommend to my friends.

5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 15, 2012

Spending our holidays first in Europe, than in Africa we've choosen this riad because of the show "vacation-vacation" and were not disapointed, nice staff, warm welcome, pickup at the airport, every thing was done just for us as if we where at home. Thank you.
