Beautiful Riad, not the best place to stay if you need to sleep.

Pros: Beautiful Riad, genuinely loved being in it. Super helpful staff.

Cons: Staff didn’t really do anything to manage guests. In our experience, we had very noisy guests downstairs making a lot of noise until midnight. Also, very annoyingly, an iPhone alarm ringing and snoozing every 10 minutes from 6am - 9am, making sleep pretty challenging. Riad really needs to explain to guests how to behave, or soundproof the walls.

Perfect!

Pros: What an amazing stay! Upon arrival, we were immediately welcomed with delicious mint tea and helpful information about the city. The service was outstanding; incredibly friendly and attentive staff. Great food, a lovely room, everything was spotless, and it’s the perfect place to relax.

Cons: Nothing.

Wonderful stay in the heart of Marrakech.

Pros: We loved the Riad, there are several areas to relax and unwind. The staff were really friendly and went out of their way to help. Breakfast was delicious.

Cons: There's nothing we didn't like. There was no kettle in the room but this is a Riad not a hotel, the staff offered to make tea various times. Which more than made up for it.

Pros: Breakfast was delicious and varied every day. We were impressed with the quality of service of Badr, Ahmed and Mina. They were very helpful and friendly and warm hearted.

Cons: The drain in the shower was slow to evacuate

A delightful oasis of calm amongst the busy streets of the medina.

Pros: The welcome was warm -we were given tea and biscuits and Simon spent time talking through options for our stay and ensuring we had all we needed. Ahmed was very attentive and helpful and the food was delicious. The Riad was peaceful, clean and beautifully decorated. We loved the rooftop pool, lounge areas and cosy bedroom.

Cons: The only very slight observation is that our room was quite tight and there was not enough room for our bags (we had 4 bags as we had spent the previous week trekking). That said, Simon stored the extra bags safely for us. Not a big problem at all.

Thank you for having us!

Pros: Such a wonderful Riad with beautiful people hosting all their guests! Ameenah, Meena, Marium, Badr, Simou are incredible hosts, you can trust them to look after you. We stayed on the ground floor and loved the rooms, ambiance and warmth. Bfast was included, and it was delicious (majority homemade). We had easy access to anything we needed - in and outside the Riad. A restaurant names Flafel across the road became our favourite as well. Location of the Riad is great. We were situated very close to the entry points of the bustling Medina and found ourselves to be an 8-10 minute drive from anywhere else we wanted to be (Gueliz, Al Khamis etc).

Cons: That our stay was too short!

Enjoyable stay

Pros: Very good location, convenient to go in and out of the city quickly. Loads of nice restaurants around, especially the bakery ;) Everyone in the riad took good care of us and we're helpful. We had a nice chat with Ahmed who also give us a good recommendation for our last evening, much appreciated!

Cons: .

Pros: They have a beautiful picturesque house, full of commodities. They have prepared a good room for us. Badir was an amazing host, always concerned of our well-being and preocupations. Good location, not so good neighborhood, but I would definitely go there again!

Excellent

Pros: The Riad is a hidden gem.All staff were helpful and professional.The ladies did a fantastic job with cooking breakfast and cleaning the rooms.Badr was very helpful in the evenings. Ahmed was exceptionally outstanding. He welcomed us on the 1st night and went over and above and ensured he answered all our questions and tips on places to visit.He made us feel at home.He had our teenage children's attention and gratitude which is rare. Sofia ( the owner) spent some time talking with us and ensuring that we had settled in okay and had all the information we required. The rooms were beautifully decorated and clean. The communal areas were also very clean. Wifi worked well All in all a home away from home.

Cons: Nothing.

Beautiful Peacful Riad

Pros: Riad was really peaceful clean and comfortable. Air conditioning and pool were amazing to cope with the summer heat. Breakfast was amazing and Badr even gave us a a special early breakfast on the day we were leaving even though it was an hour and a half before breakfast time. Ahmed was such a welcoming host greeting us with mint tea and a cold bottle of water, gave us amazing tips and made our stay exceptionally reassuring.

Cons: Nothing!
