Riad Amethyste

It’s a lovely place to stay: excellent location, full kitchen facilities and cozy lounge areas (inside and outside). I

Pros: The size with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms was great for 3 people. Hafid came each morning, at the time we designated, cooked and served us a delicious breakfast and cleaned up before leaving. He was extremely helpful with advice about the medina, where to go and what to do while we were there. He was a real jewel to our whole experience!

Cons: It was cold while we were there (December) and the heaters in the bedrooms were not all working.

Pros: wonderful place, here we found ourselves in a real Moroccan house, quiet and cozy, and Hafid is a very kind , he greeted us with a smile, told us many things, always ready to help. in the morning you open your eyes, and he has already prepared a wonderful breakfast. Wonderful place and location. Thank you Hafid!

Amazing local experience

Pros: The location is great and the Riad was spectacular. Had the best time here. Also the host was very nice and helpful. We recommend having the breakfast there, so delicious.

Pros: We stayed at this lovely Riad for four days, and it was a wonderful experience. Hafid, was very welcoming and made us feel right at home. He prepared breakfast for us which was delicious! The Riad itself is beautiful and full of character — it was built in 1903, so it’s not new, but that’s part of its charm. It has three bedrooms (not four as mentioned in the listing), which was perfectly fine for us. The location is ideal, within walking distance to the souks and situated right in the old city. The rooftop is especially picturesque — a perfect spot to relax. Overall, it’s a charming, authentic place to stay if you want a true Moroccan experience.

Cons: N/A

Pros: Very tranquil inside and spacious. A great escape from the Medina. The host was fabulous and very informative.

A truly magical experience

Pros: Riad Amethyste is something special. It is an absolutely gorgeous riad that you have all to yourself and travel companions - so you get the best of both worlds - a riad and a self-catering home. Stunning inner leafy courtyard, comfortable beds, good kitchen, super safe location, okay wifi, and a fantastic wrap around rooftop terrace. Small shops are very nearby to buy practical supplies (fruit, veg, yogurt) as well as several cafes, coffee stands, and restaurants. In a good location near Bab Doukala, it is about a 20-25 minute walk through the souks to Jemaa El Fna - and much closer to the Secret Garden and Ben Youssef Madrasa. Hafid, the manager, is very helpful and very kind. I would very happily stay here again! And after staying in multiple riads in multiple Moroccan cities/towns over the past 15 days, I would highly recommend this very special riad.

Cons: The breakfast was fairly minimal and basically just pastries, so expect more of a continental breakfast or petit dejeuner - not a very robust and healthy breakfast. But there are plenty of shops, cafes, and restaurants in the area that can help you top up as needed - you will not go hungry in Morocco. The wifi worked well in the lounge, but not as well in the bedrooms - which was a welcome opportunity to unplug when I crawled into bed.

Amazing place!

Pros: Riad was stunning with loads of original features, roof terrace was a sun trap, freshly squeezed oranges from the tree and the host was a lovely bloke who made us feel welcome. Everything we needed was in walking distance would definitely stay again! Thanks for an amazing stay!

The Palace was amazing! Beautiful and the location was excellent! Hafid was the best host ever! Thanks!

Une belle expérience

Pros: Le riad est vraiment typique nous n’avons pas été déçus. L’accueil de Hafid et sa disponibilité

Jederzeit wieder. Shukran.

Pros: Die Kommunikation mit dem Gastgeber und Herrn Hafid hat ausgezeichnet funktioniert. Das Riad ist sehr schön, zwei große Zimmer mit Doppelbett und ein kleineres mit einem Einzelbett, traumhafter Innenhof. Außerdem noch ein schönes Wohn- und Esszimmer. Wir haben uns sehr sicher und gut aufgehoben gefühlt. Die Lage hat für unsere Vorhaben super gepasst. In den Norden zum Jardin Majorelle von YSL etwa 20 Gehminuten und in den Süden zum Djemaa el Fna auch in etwa soviel. Und Taxistände in beiden Richtungen ein paar Gehminuten entfernt. Mr. Hafid war uns außerdem bei Ausflügen sehr behilflich. Am Tag der Abreise hat er dafür gesorgt, dass wir unser Gepäck bis in die Nachtstunden verlässlich zwischenlagern konnten. Vielen Dank dafür, Shukran. Jederzeit wieder. Es hat uns sehr gefreut. Marrakesch im Frühling mit den schneebedeckten Bergen in naher Ferne, so wunderbar. Auch die Menschen waren alle so unglaublich lieb zu uns.

Cons: Ein kleiner Hinweis, man sollte das im Voraus wissen. Ältere Menschen bzw. gehbeeinträchtigte Personen sollten bedenken, dass der Aufgang zum Badezimmer, welches aber sehr großzügig und praktisch ist, schmal ist und ein paar Stufen hat.
