“quaint and welcoming”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed July 31, 2006

My partner and I stayed at this riad July 7 & 8. This riad is located in an offshoot of an alleyway, at the end of a small blind alley; it's very important that you have the contact number to call when you arrive. You will not find it on your own! We enjoyed our stay there, although we were at the riad during a heat wave and were a little uncomfortable at night without air conditioning. What was lacking in air conditioning was made up for in other ways. The concierge Yousef was extremely helpful in assisting our planning of the weekend, as we expected to be in Essaouira for the remainder of the trip, and even helped us cash some traveller's cheques at a hotel. Warning - do not bring traveller's cheques to morocco - the vast majority of bank branches do not exchange them. Also, make sure you have your passport number with you at the hotels as they are required to have this information documented by law (my partner left his passport at his apartment in Casablanca). Bring a ton of patience with you to Marrakesh - you will likely get lost more than once, people with monkeys will come up to you and harrass you, children selling sweets may invade your personal space, the maps are confusing, orange juice vendors will shout at you....but the average moroccan is a very decent person, and you'll have a great experience.

  • Liked — troubleshooting offered by concierge
  • Disliked — no A/C and the place in general (particularly the public parts) could have been cleaner

“Loved iit, really good with a low price”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed June 14, 2006

This is a small Riad, only 5 very spacious rooms all with private bathroom. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The rooms and bathrooms were very clean and they were maintained like that throughout our stay.
It is well located, a 5-10 minutes walk to Djema el Fna and about the same time walking to the entrance of the Saadian Tombs.
My wife loved the decoration, it was a tasty mixture of modern and tradtional Moroccan elements.
It has a terrace on the roof that is great to spend the evenings.

Room Tip: forse al primo piano e' meno rumoroso visto che la colazione e' servita nel cortile.
