Pros: Latifa is wonderful – communication with her was easy and fast. The riad has a great location and is very comfortable. It is an incredibly cozy and truly exceptional place to stay. The breakfast was fantastic. I’m sorry we stayed for only one night – we will definitely come back again!

Pros: Our stay at Riad Sesame was short, only three nights, but the location and our expectations were met. The staff was courteous, although it is helpful to know Arabic or French to communicate fully. We were able to communicate in English, which, with a positive attitude towards people and the situation, proved effective and was not a major issue. The owners were very hospitable, friendly and vert polite The breakfast was traditional and tasty, with fresh produce. The room was small but sufficient to rest and take refuge from the sun-baked streets of the city. The location was great, right on the edge of the Medina, walkable distance to many places including main square. Thank you Latifa, Jean Poul and staff for a pleasant stay. We hope to see you again.

Beautiful, clean and a very helpful host.

Pros: The host was absolutely amazing and made us feel so welcome. Breakfast was beautiful and all laid up in the dining area. Traditional and delicious. The Riad itself was located in a central location easy to walk about the town and markets. Although initially tricky to locate due to no street signs once we found our bearings everyone was close by. The locals are extremely helpful, although some do request a tip. Be mindful on the roads as the traffic doesn’t stop for anyone and can be chaotic at times (you will get used it!) lovely local restaurants and very good value for money about £12-£16 for 2 people to enjoy a meal. This usually includes olives and bread. Alcohol is not served at most eatery’s. But can be found in the carrfores (supermarkets) . All in all a wonderful experience. Would definitely recommend the Riad Sesame and will be returning

Cons: The traffic took a little while to get used, also when in the markets it’s difficult to look without being encouraged to buy something. You can easily get lost inside the souks.

Perfect weekend away in a very nice little Riad

Pros: Great location with a very attentive landlady,We wanted a authentic Moroccan experience and we got it here.

Cons: Not her fault,but Booking.com said English was spoken here,but the lady who owns and runs the place had very limited English,We managed though

Safe, clean and traditional property.

Pros: It was exactly what we have expected and were looking for. Traditional place, clean, comfortable. The hosts were very welcoming and friendly, willing to accommodate all your needs and provided a lot of advise. Although at first glance the street looks a bit to the side, it is actually safe and very well lit. My friend and I, 2 girls, came to the hotel even at midnight without any issues. I would recommend this place and I would go there again.

Cons: To be honest not much that I didn't like, if there was 1 thing, I would say the soap in the bathroom, there was one, that smelt nice, but didn't quite do the job like I was used to.

Great place to stay in Marrakesh.

Pros: Madame Latifa is the person in charge at the Riad. She was very helpful and very kind. We could even leave our luggage for 2 days for free in the Riad, while we were on a trip. She organized us a taxi to pick us up from the airport and back. The Riad is very good located, close to the Medina and the markets. Many restaurants around.

Cons: Be aware: In the riads all the rooms show towards the inner patio, so you can´t hear the noise from the streets, but from the other rooms.
