“Thank you for making our Trip!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 8, 2012

Hi we visited this fantastic riad in October 2012. We would definitely recommend this gorgeous riad to any visitor. This beautiful riad is a real haven from the heat and bussle of the Marrakech streets. The interior is perfectly finished in traditional Moroccan style. We stayed in the star room, which is so romantic.The traditional Moroccan food served at this riad actually was the tastiest traditional food we ate during our trip. The assistance we received from Cyrus , Hassan and Hamza really made our trip.

Thank you all so much! Angela & Eoin from Ireland

Room Tip: The star room is one of the most romantic rooms we have stayed in!

“Excellent”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 29, 2012

There is nothing you can complain about with this beautiful riad. I wouldn't stay anywhere else. It's in the heart of the medina so it's tricky to find if you are no good with directions but once you do the walk once it's easy. It's daunting at first as it's down winding alleys that get darker as you go through but it's safe and you get the true Marrakech experience in the heart of the old town.

Cyrus, Hassan and Abdul we're extremely helpful and friendly and nothing with too much for them.

The rooms were super clean, the food excellent, their insights top notch. They even gave us a bottle of bubbly for my girlfriends birthday which was a lovely touch.

Don't bother about looking elsewhere this riad and it's staff are the best.

“Great riad.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 12, 2012

What an amazing place. The rooms are beautiful, the staff were wonderful . It was a 10 minute walk to the main square which you have to walk. So it might not be great if you struggle with walking any distance but the same could be said for Marrakech in general. But that said this riad is great. Loved it.

“Truly fantastic friendly accommodation, very authentic and plush.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 19, 2012 via mobile

Fantastic little place if you want to experience a true slice of Morrocco. Hidden inside the catacomb of alleys and small winding streets (think Bourne Identity) behind a small unassuming door is an amazing boutique style Morrocan Riad.

The staff ate friendly and helpful, they made us feel special and gave us their full attention.

Cyrus is a jolly English chap who is very informative and will give you some great advice on how to get the best from your trip.

Food is very good, you must try the beef Tagine with apricots!!

The standard of the rooms is excellent, all air conditioned and unique, no two rooms are the same design, but each one has been designed using a Morroccan theme by a well renowned New York designer.
