Dar Sholmes

perfect in everything!

Pros: For our entirely stay the staff was so welcoming and available to do anything to satisfy our requests. the room was really clean and spacious and because it was our anniversary they also were able to arrange a little themed decoration and a cake for us. everything was amazing! we also used the jacuzzi on the terrace and it was really nice

Nice location inside the Medina area with helpful staff

Pros: The room has ample of space, bed is comfortable and the bathroom is fine. The location is great, 10 minute walk to the Jemaa el-Fnaa square and the Koutoubia moque as well as many restaurants around. The Royal palace is in the vicinity. Breakfast is simple, modest and sufficiently enough.

Cons: There is no Television in the room to watch the current news, but its also fine.

Pros: Both Ismael and Sala were very helpful and kind. The peppermint tea and cake on arrival was a lovely touch and the evening meal was very tasty and relaxing.

Ismail,Sahla and the housekeeper(didnt get her name).They were all really helpful.it was safe and the rooms were always

Pros: The staff were really friendly and went out of thwir way even though we had language barrier.

Cons: The breakfast options were too limited.

Great for a city break

Pros: It was really close to: • Royal Palace (there were a lot of police there and therefore we felt safe) • City Center and the famous square (20 min walk) • Trips I booked had the meeting point close to the Riad (I don't know if I was lucky on this, but for both trips I booked outside Marrakesh I didn't need to go by taxi to the meeting point) Other thing I liked was the staff that was really friendly and always eager to help you The riad looked traditional, which I liked and also the jacuzzi which is refreshing after the hot weather. Another plus was the flower fountain which was relaxing to hear it Room was clean and cleaned every day. Bed was comfortable and Air Conditioning was working fine (very appreciated during the 45° in August)

Cons: First of all, I have to mention the breakfast. At least for me as an european I was expecting some bread, cheese, ham/salami. But unfortunately each morning the breakfirst was actually a dessert. You get only sweet stuff, like sweet bread, cookie, jam, honey, fruits and sometimes yogurt which is also a little bit sweet. Even though it was good tasting, the idea of eating so much sugar in the morning was a big disadvantage for me. Second thing I did not like it, it was the smell of urine coming out of the bathroom drainage. Here somehow I understand, because Marrakesh smells many times of urine due to constant heat and poor drainage system. Anyhow, we slept with door closed for bathroom and it was ok

Very hospitable host and very nice Riad.

Pros: Very good example of hard working hosts which were very polite and made sure nothing was missed. My personal highlight was the bathroom which had a cool design and was quite spacious. Very nice stay overall, highly recommend

Thanks you Salah

Pros: The Diar was very clean and well located 10min walk to the great square , Salah the receptionist was super friendly and he is the main reason why we loved the diar and marrakesh , we had some in depth conversation and did everything possible to make our stay flawless. I’ll definetly be back to marrakesh just to stay again in this diar.

Cons: If there is one bad thing about the property is that it is not very much family friendly , if you are traveling as a family with kids this isn’t the place for you

Short snd sweet stay with authentic Marrakech vibes

Pros: We got welcomed with delicious moroccan mint tea and biscuits The room was an apt size and staff was very helpful

Cons: Its a 5-10 min walk so if you have a lot of luggage, you will need to drag it with you Also, there is no complimentary water

Little gem

Pros: The Riad is beautiful. It has a very relaxing and inviting ambiance. We were greeted with tea and biscuits upon arrival and the host was very kind and accommodating. The rooftop top area was also great with a jacuzzi, sunbeds, covered lounge and dining area. Awesome space to escape the hussle and bustle of Marrakesh. The bed was super comfy and the bedroom and bathroom quite spacious. We really enjoyed our stay here. We highly recommend it!

Cons: Nothing.... everything was perfect. It exceeded our expectations.

Warmest of welcomes. Highly recommended

Pros: We're recently back from an awesome stay at Dar Sholmes. In all the places I've stayed I've never received such an awesome and warm welcome as the one we got from Ismail Hidden down a (safe) back street 15 minutes from the main square, the room was modern and clean, breakfast was nice and the hot tub on the rooftop was massively welcomed after a day of walking. All staff were fantastic, but a special shout out to Salah and Ismail for how helpful and friendly they both were throughout our stay. It may be only classified as a 3 star hotel but relative to what we paid (really important to remember when scoring!!) it is easily a 10/10 score. Would more than happily stay again if we go back to Marrakesh.

Cons: Nothing about the Riad to dislike!
