We had one lovely night here as we arrived from a tour bus and left the following morning for our plane but it was a very comfortable night. The staff were really helpful and friendly and the location in the heart of the Medina is great. Wish we could have stayed longer.

We stayed at the Riad for three nights with my two year old. The staff were very helpful and couldn’t do enough for us- we were made to feel very welcome and felt at home. The transfer from the airport was easy and quick and the driver munir was very friendly and helpful. All reception staff were great and always happy to help, my son was made to feel welcome and staff were great with him! The breakfast was nice and varied. We stayed in the suite with private terrace and enjoyed our stay throughly and would book again without a doubt. The Riad is nestled in the old town so taxis are hard to get you may need to walk a little to get one however tuk tuks are readily available and can be arranged via reception. Good value for money and the riad it self is decorated nicely and very spacious.

Service/Facilities were not on par with the daily room rate charged - low in terms of value. Staff were available for help, but were cold and at times rude. My family and I did not feel comfortable with the interactions (and we visited 8 cities and hotels- mostly Riads/Dars during our 2 week trip to Morocco) Breakfast was a disappointment. Slim pickings and did not feel they were freshly prepared. Omlettes ordered took 20 mins. to deliver. No smile on faces of staff. AC was barely able to keep up with the Marrakesh Aug heat, was comfortable at nights but was uncomfortable to stay in the room during afternoons, even with AC on. Location is deep inside the old city, and a minimum walk time of 15 mins needed to access cars. The property charges for handcarts to bring/dispatch bags to locations accessible by cars. On the other hand, the location is walkable from/to places of interest in the medina. Property may not be right nor families, as staff was intolerant to noises created by/due to children in just the one instance it happened (compared to experience in 7 others Roads/Dars/hotels)

Wonderful riad, quirky but really cool design. Our apartment had a private roof terrace which was just lovely. The staff members are polite and super helpful. Breakfast was included and offered a decent spread. All together, a wonderful experience!

I got in late and was greeted by the hotel staff at my taxi. I was upgraded to the Hassan suite and was very pleased with the accommodations and the hotel environment and staff. I enjoyed the personal guide Aziz who showed me a memorable experience. The rooftop breakfast was excellent. When I return I will be staying there. Thank You staff for your hospitality.

We only stayed for one night and besides the harassment we encountered by some young men not related to the riad as we walked from the parking lot, the riad offered some peace and tranquility. If you come with a car be aware of the fact that there is no parking on site, you will have to park your car and walk inside the medina to get to the riad. The parking attendants are a bunch of young men who will tell you that GPS does not work in the medina, they will start walking to escort you to the riad even if you don't request this, only to demand you tip them at the end. They are very aggressive and it's almost impossible to shake them off. Needless to say if you don't tip them the amount that they think is reasonable they will harass you and cause undue stress. Once you enter the riad though it's pretty serene and our room was very quiet despite being on the ground floor. The riad has a restaurant on the rooftop where you could have lunch/dinner and it's the same place where breakfast is served. Don't waste your time eating here for lunch/dinner, the food was mediocre at best. Breakfast was ok, buffet style, nothing special.

10/10 Exceptional

The space is charming as a collection of homes turned into two neighboring properties, hidden way in the middle of the busy market of old town. It’s great as you can walk a few minutes to many of the tourist sites (Madrassa Ben Youseff, Secret Garden, etc). The staff will also arrange any trips, taxis or other outings you might want. But the real highlight is the hospitality—I arrived with two sprained ankles after tripping in Tangier. After the welcome tea and cookies shared with all guests, Amine additionally brought me a bag of ice and two ointments for my legs. He also got us set for dinner on the premises so I didn’t need to go out (something we had originally declined). This was just day one—from there Amine and Omar did everything they could to help us enjoy our stay despite my injury. I can’t thank them all enough! I will absolutely recommend to anyone traveling to Marrakech—it is invaluable to stay with kind, caring people when traveling abroad and running into difficult challenges

Exotic in heart of the Souk
This traditional Morrocan hotel was extremely comfortable and the staff was welcoming and helpful at every turn…once one gets there. It is truly in the heart of the massive Souk, and one must desire and be prepared for a unique cultural experience of this traditional area in order to get safely ensconced in the room. The room/suite itself was lovely, quiet, and comfortable.

The Riad well positioned in the Medina and is beautifully decorated in the traditional Moroccan style. The bedroom, the buffet breakfast and lunch/dinner dining options were very good. But above all, the reason I have given the 5 star rating is because of the hotel staff. They went above and beyond and offered the best service I have experienced. Always available, always attentive and always considerate. Thank you Amine, Fatima and all the other members of staff who made our stay wonderful and truly memorable. Tanmert! Choukran!
