Riad la Source du Desert

Unbeatable location and friendly service

Pros: This riad- ...is in a quiet area, but close to koutobia mosque and the djemaa el fna - altho Marrakesh is mainly made of motorbikes, you can't hear them here - it's very safe. It's near the walls of the royal palace, which are constantly guarded - the hosts attended to our every need. Very friendly. - the building looks good enough for a high fashion photo shoot. Beautiful design.

Cons: I think this applies to all of Morocco, so it's not a criticism of this riad- more savoury, less sweet, at breakfast, would be nice.

Pros: Beautiful Riad. Close to the Medina but yet tucked in in a peaceful and quiet alley with a park bordering one side of it...so it''s really quiet. Quality sleep guaranteed :) service is immaculate. RRooftop pool is standout feature of this Riad. All in all 5 star recommendation

Cons: Nothing at all

A comfortable, authentic Riad with friendly, welcoming hosts.

Pros: Clean, beautifully decorated and comfortable able. Friendly hosts.

Cons: N/a

Aesthetically Beautiful, Disappointing Breakfast

Pros: Stayed here as a family of 4, booked 2 seperate rooms. The Riad is beautiful well decorated and maintained with an open communal area that is shared and lively rooftop pool and area, Riad is quite difficult to find for the first time but easy thereafter. The hosts are nice and welcoming and you can enter and exit whenever you want as you are provided with a key. Each room has a lockable safe and is cleaned daily. Coffee and water is chargeable which is not a problem but was not mentioned. The one drawback is the breakfast some bookings it's included but some you have to pay in the region of £20/€23 although the food os well presented it is never worth this price so I would recommend going elsewhere. Youssef is kind and helping but be careful with prices quoted as taxis are cheaper on an app called InDrive. Overall would be happy to return here.

Cons: Breakfast is overpriced

Beautiful Riad with very friendly staff

Pros: Staying at this Riad was a great experience- you are treated very friendly and basically have everything you need for a comfortable stay. The room was clean and cosy, the patio and terrace - beautiful and the breakfast they serve is also amazing. Would definitely recommend staying here.

The cleanliness was impeccable!

Pros: This riad was charming, and it truly exceeded our expectations. The cleanliness was impeccable, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere that made our stay comfortable. The highlight, was the delightful breakfast and the rooftop. Highly recommended for a an enjoyable experience.

Cons: While our stay at the riad itself was fantastic, it's worth noting that the surrounding area wasn't the best. While it didn't affect our overall experience within the riad, it's something to consider for those who prioritize a well-lit neighborhood.

Will only be booking this riad in Marrakech

Pros: The property is very clean and well kept. It is amazing inside and the rooms are designed beautifully. Will definitely be coming back to this Riad again

Cons: There was nothing at all I didn’t like. Everything was beyond what I had expected which is why I have given it a 10!

amazing

Pros: Location is amazing. breakfast very good. moroccan style and very delicious.. staff is amazing. very clean Riad.

Cons: no bathroom Doors or Privacy

Nice hotel, tranquil atmosphere, excellent rooftop terrace area.

Pros: The interior of hotel is tranquil and has a real Zen feeling to it. The room was absolutely fine, spacious, clean and decorated with local touches. We slept soundly in the bed. Breakfast was very good and the ladies who work in the kitchen could not have been more helpful and welcoming, they were a big part of our experience there, always on hand. The rooftop terrace and small pool were sublime, again really tranquil and an amazing place to chill out.

Cons: A small fridge and a kettle in the room is a recommendation. Car parking is a good 5 minutes (400 metres) away on foot.

Lovely place, lovely staff, would recommend

Pros: Youssef and the staff were absolutely wonderful. I received a warm welcome and was shown around. I had some difficulty with hot water on my first morning and Youssef fixed it right away. The pool was really refreshing in the afternoon heat. I paid extra for the breakfast which was a nice mixture of local and more western foods. I also paid extra to have a driver pick me and and drop me off at the airport - I think the fees (paid in cash) were fairly reasonable. In terms of the location, it was well positioned less than 10 mins walk from the Medina. It seemed quite safe walking through there by myself because the palace is super close and was heavily guarded. Would highly recommend this place.
