“really excellent riad!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 24, 2013

We started our trip in this riad and were so enthusiastic about it, we returned here for our last days in Marrakech! Best place of our two week stay in Morocco. The staff is very welcoming and friendly and the atmosphere is very relaxed and peaceful. Beautifully decorated rooms, which are very well kept and clean. A great tranquil roof terrace, where the excellent breakfast is served. The only thing that wasn't excellent about this place, was the warm water supply. It is sufficient, but not abundant.

“Beautiful, and in a cool location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 9, 2013

Having stayed in a different and beautiful riad in Marrakech prior, I had diminished expectations for this one which was approximately a quarter of the cost. This was unnecessary!
Beautiful, and equally appointed, it was parallel in almost every way. I missed the english fluency a bit (my french is mediocre), but loved the location in the medina. The walk into the derb is a long one and dark, nice to have someone to make it with... An excellent find, this one.
(n.b.: We did not take any meals here, so no input on that front.)

There was an issue: since the manager could not come and meet us at the taxi when we arrived at the parking area (as planned), he sent 2 younger men to meet us to walk us to the riad. The way they behaved made me dubious that we weren't just being scammed. Eventually the manager appeared on bicycle, obviously rushing to meet us. They were pretty rude and wanted a HUGE tip EACH for doing almost nothing (since they didn't offer to carry bags or anything). This experience was a bummer.

“Nice Stay”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 25, 2012

We had a brief stay here and it met my expectations based on Tripadvisor reviews. We were exhausted after a long day of travel and were thrilled to receive such a warm welcome at the Riad. As others have noted - it can be very difficult to find in the winding alleys of the Medina. We were approached by someone to help us find the riad - and did pay a bit for his services. I didn't feel taken advantage of - he provided us a very valuable service! We arrived after dark and I am not sure we would have found the riad otherwise - at least not without a great level of frustration! We did arrive late and were not able to arrange for dinner at the riad (you need to arrange that in advance.) The riad is walking distance to market / square however (about 10 - 15 minutes) which is very lively at night.

The room was clean and provided much needed R&R after a long days travel. I would recommend this riad to anyone looking for nice accommodations in the area.

“Why did we not stay here the whole time?”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 9, 2012

We started our stay in Marrakesh at a different riad, lovely, but expensive. We spent our last 4 nights here and wondered, why did we ever stay at that other place?

This place is great, lovely rooms, quiet, sweet people who care about your time in the city. A couple of cozy cats to cuddle with on a chilly night.

One thing of course, no doors on the bathrooms! Which made for some hilarious, married moments.

It's got AC and it's also a bit away from the square which is really nice. The sheets are nice and great comforters. Also BREAKFAST. Really yummy with eggs and bread and yogurt with pomegranates mixed in. YUM.

We have been totally happy here. Wouldn't have it any other way.

“An adventure”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 18, 2012

This Riad might be for you if:

You find it an adventure to get a taxi to a street corner and then find kids with carts to show you through the maze to an unmarked door which is your Riad (don't pay them 70dhr, we gave them 30 and closed the door).

You can deal with hotel staff who speak only French.

You have a map, compass, gps, and can find your way in and out of a maze when exploring this exotic city.

You don't need a door on your very elegant bathroom.

You find an oasis in the midst of chaos to be the perfect vacation.

Great find if it fits your bill.
