Reviews

Remmlinger 8/10
Germany 🇩🇪

a cozy, beautifully decorated and authentic riad with a lovely little pool, warm hospitality, and a great central locati

Pros: •\tsuper beautiful and genuinely authentic — it felt like a real riad experience, not “designed for tourists” in a soulless way \t•\tvery cozy vibe, especially with the little pool — such a nice place to come down after the city \t•\tthoughtfully decorated; you can tell someone put real effort and taste into the interiors \t•\tthe woman who welcomed us was incredibly warm and kind — we felt comfortable right away \t•\tthe bathroom was really lovely \t•\tmint tea was always offered, which was such a sweet touch \t•\tgreat location: you’re super close to the main square and right in the energy when you want it

Cons: •\tthe mattress wasn’t great, especially if you have sleep issues (for me it was okay, but not the best sleep ever) \t•\tit’s a bit hidden, so you might need a minute to find it the first time — but honestly, not a big deal

Would highly recommend

Pros: Everything about this Riad is wonderful. The lovely lady whos name i didn't get who was there every morning was just so kind and sweet. Ahyub..im sure thats not how he spelled it. Well he is the young gentleman who has perfect English and met us our first night. He was there during the stay too. The location is perfect once you find it but all Riads are difficult to find on you first experience of Marrakesh medina but once you are inside its perfectly tranquil. The roof terrace is amazing and could only be improved with clear access to water. There is a hose pipe to water flowers. Water is a luxury and not to be wasted but some vasins or spray bottles would be a lovely addition....its shocking hot for us sun loving irish. Breakfast is served generously late we had a late rise one morning not getting down till 12 and we still received a warm welcome and beautiful breakfast. Pool beautiful but in a the main area i feel its only to cool the area not for using. Im my opinion

Cons: Only to put something in the box. Mind your head when steping in to bedroom...if you are over 5 foot 2...beautiful carved door has low clearance

A little oasis of peace and beauty in Marrakesh - superb place and services/ people

Pros: The Riad is a little piece of heaven in Marrakesh's madness and busy roads. Definitely recommend staying here, is a beautifully designed Riad, the hosts are so kind and helpful and feels so peaceful and relaxing.

Cons: Finding the Riad location was a bit tricky first time. For a a price, locals took us there as it is a bit off the roads, we tried to get there driving and Google maps took us some other parts of Marrakesh - we later found out that old Medina is not friends with Google maps. We found a parking for €6-7 per night at 7 mins walk from the Riad. It would've been helpful to have info on the parking in the booking info.

Christopher 10/10
Germany 🇩🇪

Pros: Incredibly nice Riad in the city center. The special thing is, that in less than one minute you're in the crowdy and loud Medina, but inside the Riad it's absolutely quiet and peaceful. The hosts are amazingly nice people. The room was spotless clean and the breakfast was fantastic. For us it was a 10/10, would absolutely recommend this place for a stay in Marrakech.
