“Beautiful Riad and Great Location. Average Service”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 6, 2013

Stayed in the Riad Chergui at the end of December. Latt 31°37'56.45"N Long 7°59'37.60"W
It is very well located in the Medina area within walking distance to most of the main sights and Souks. The main doar is about 150 Meters down some alleys from the Dar el Bacha which is one of the main streets through the Medina leading West to the Bus Station and direction of the New town and East into the Souk area and sount to the main Square.

The Dar is beautiful and spacious and was clearly renovated from a number of older buildings made into one. The Pool area is wondeful wiith a large pool a bar alongside. The weather in December is not warm enough to sit out at the pool in the evenings but in Summer having this area must be fantastic. There is also a spacious roof Terrace which is great for relaxing and taking in a rooftop view or Marrakech.

Our Bedroom was upstairs and was of good quality with double bed, beautiful bed Linnen separate Bathroom and separate toilet. There was a walk in wardrobe area with a safe. One point to note is that you can lock bedroom from the inside but for some reason you cannot lock them from outside, Not sure why this nut it was a bit strange leaving luggage etc in a room that was not locked.

Downstairs there is a beautiful courtyard area for seating and a room with fire place for Dining and relaxing. It is comfortable and functional with some books and games available for people to use. Wifi was in the cost and worked in the room and downstairs which was great.

Overall it is a very beautiful Riad but I found it lacked atmosphere and the Service level was a bit below what you would expect from Euro 200 per night level.

Room Tip: Ask for a Room overlooking the Pool.

“Enjoyable stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 30, 2012

We enjoyed our stay here - the interiors were very clean, and nicely decorated. We were impressed with the bathroom and the tadiakt plaster work in particular (!) and were really pleased to receive a room upgrade.
The riad felt quiet and peaceful, the breakfasts were good, and the staff seemed friendly.
We would have liked locks on the bedroom doors, as we had some belongings (like a laptop) that couldn't fit in the safe.
One annoyance was that on being dropped off at a road near the riad, our luggage was given to a couple of local kids, who then wheeled it to the riad. (We would have done it ourselves, but there didn't seem a choice). This was fine, until demands for money were then made, and having just arrived in the country, we had no small change. The hotel helped us out, but this was a stressful start to our holiday that we could have done without, particularly as we were heckled a lot by the kids for more money over the next couple of days.

“Beautiful sejour, elegant decor and fabulous owner!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 23, 2012

Thiis elegant small riad in the back alleys of Marrakech is a hidden gem. It has been lovingly restored with art works, top quality linens and a lovely dipping pool in one of the two courtyards. The rooms are Moroccan style and even details like the lighting have been thought through. The proof of a quality establishment is always in the warmth of the greeting and personal care and attention given by the owner. No detail of our comfort was left to chance. The owner goes out of her way to ensure the comfort of her guests. The one tiny negative was the gentleman guest who insisted on monopolizing the living room for his cigar, thus ruining the evening for other guests. I would suggest a clear no smoking policy in all indoor areas! But that did nto detract from the warmth of the welcome or the comfort of the experience. A hearty recommendation to Riad Chergui.

Room Tip: Duff is lovely but so are all the rooms we looked at.

“Not as good as the reviews...”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 2, 2012

Nice and beautiful Riad but clearly overrated. Part of the staff not well trained and not service oriented... Privacy not respected, there is no possibilty to lock the room and once we came back in the evening our door was widely open....
Actually the fireplace is more a source of air pollution than a heating device.

“Exactly what we were hoping for”

A wonderful Riad for visiting Marrakech with fantastic service from Manu and her team. This was TripAdvisor at its best giving us the perfect base to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary - thank you to all previous reviewers.
