Splendid riad in the Marrakech medina

Pros: Wonderful Riad nested in the Medina, beautifully renovated with great taste and style. Lovely rooftop with small swimming pool to enjoy Morocco sun. Stefania was also an amazing hostess, providing us lots of information and support during our stay. A highly recommended address in Marrakech!

One of the best Riads in Marrakesh

Beautiful riad in the heart of Marrakech with a nice terrace and splash pool

Pros: In the Medina so close to soul and the main square. Lovely tranquil oasis. Beautiful interior courtyards and extremely helpful and friendly staff. Lovely breakfast with the option to eat on roof terrace or in courtyard. Greeted with mint tea and biscuits on arrival. Large room with lovely bathroom and nice toiletries.

Cons: I had particularly wanted a swimming pool and chose this riad specifically because it said it had a swimming pool. Unfortunately what it wasn’t possible to see from the photos is that the water was maximum knee height. So good to cool off and refresh, but no way there was any swimming happening. Also a bit of a trek through the riad from our room to get to that terrace. If I had known the pool was not suitable for swimming I would have stayed somewhere else. I said something to the staff when I discovered this and was met with a ‘what did you expect in a riad comment and a shrug’ so felt a bit let down.

Pros: Fantastic Riad in the heart of the Medina, beautifully furnished and designed. Extremely clean and also polite staff.

Cons: Breakafast was ok, on the last day we had eartly checkout, 20 mins prior to check out time and were only served cold pastry. Stairs in the room can be challengng cause of the steps. Were not able to try the restaurant nor the pool due to season. Definitely too pricey.

Almost perfect!

Pros: Let’s be honest—the rooms and property are stunning! But what impressed me most was the personal welcome and farewell from the manager. The staff was exceptional—kind and attentive, from reception and helping with our bags to breakfast and poolside service. Their hospitality made us feel incredibly welcome. We particularly loved the rooftop pool, which we almost had to ourselves. The mountain views, comfortable furniture, and great music made it even more special. (Just a heads-up, no cocktails, only mocktails!)

Cons: I really wanted to give this place strong 10, but unfortunately, I can't, for two reasons. First, the spa treatment—specifically the massage—was disappointing. There was a lack of communication and skill (JUST SPA to be clear). It’s such a shame because the place itself is stunning. Still, it wasn’t a major issue. However, what we didn't like was the extremely loud noise coming from a downpipe located right behind our bed headboard. Around 5 a.m., we heard 6-8 flushes, sounding like we were lying under a waterfall. I'm not exaggerating—it was incredibly loud. It’s definitely a design flaw (room 9, by the way). We only stayed for one night, but if we had stayed longer, I would’ve definitely asked to switch rooms. Our second room was not only beautiful but also so quiet, so I take it as bad luck... Nerveless, overall we really enjoyed our short stay and thank you to everyone who made our stay memorable!
