Nice Riad - no doors on ensuit so no privacy :(
We had a good stay here for 1 week in Jan. Riad staff so lovely would do anything and everything to help. Breakfast each morning is fab!! We got an airport transfer through the Riad for €30 return and glad we did as would never have found it ourselves and heard people being taken down random alleyways and told to pay extra or they wouldn’t be taken to their hotel. Room was ok, looked gorgeous but smelt funny, sometimes of sewage both in room and just outside. There was no toilet door it’s just open which really wasn’t great as one of us had to keep waiting outside the room to give the other ‘privacy’. Also the safe didn’t work most of the time meaning we had to get it unlocked twice. As we only had hand luggage suitcases I didn’t bring a hairdryer as one is provided - it was so weak and cold it took 40 mins to dry my hair which was really frustrating and inconvenient. Our main issue was location. It’s in the Medina which is the local bit of town and from the second you arrive, it’s busy and dirty, there are grown men and young children CONSTANTLY hastling you for money, motorbikes are everywhere so your trying to dive out the way and it smells as there is lots of rubbish about and raw meat being sold from stalls etc. It was just too tiring. My honest advice would be don’t stay for more than 1 night. Spend the majority of the time in the new bit of the city where it’s quiet and clean and there are lots of nice restaraunts and come here for 1 night to experience the chaos

An oasis in the middle of the old city.
There cannot be any other Riads in Morroco that offers better value for money than this place. The staff are very helpful,the rooms are clean and tidy and the food was excellent. Nothing was too much trouble for Lamia and the other staff members. Also free wifi which was great!
Little pool to cool off in.
Looking up to the roof terrace which is a nice place to eat your evening meal.

Fabulous Riad
From the moment we walked in the door this Riad was an oasis of comfort and relaxation. We were welcomed with tea and biscuits while we filled out the obligatory paperwork, then shown to our well furnished, comfortable room. As we were too late to order dinner at the Riad, and unsure of our location to venture out into the streets, the wonderful man (*sorry I didn't catch your name) on evening shift offered to go and get us a pizza! This friendly, accommodating service was evident throughout our stay. The splash pool, then relaxation on the terrace, was welcome after a morning of exploring the nearby markets. The terrace was set up nicely for breakfast and we also enjoyed some evening hours there, as well. Thank you!

Such a peaceful and lovely riad!
Just back from a great stay at the Riad, much like the comments we have nothing but praise for the lovely staff and great hospitality offered. Although the neighbourhood was slightly dodgy and it was very easy to get lost, once you found your way you felt you experienced the real medina and Marrakech. I would certainly recommend getting an airport transfer upon arrival as there was no way we were going to find the Riad on our own. It was an absolutely lovely stay and excellent location for visiting the main square and the souks!

Awesome place to stay
Very clean room, beautiful place to stay. The staff was very friendly and helpful. 15-20 min walk from the big square. We booked a transfer with the hotel and didn't realize we paid it to the hotel so we paid the driver and the driver realized we had already paid and came and found us in the train station to give us the money we gave him back.
