Simpley spectacular
Hasi is a nice alternative to Merzouga for a desert trip and RIad Aicha is a great place to stay in Hasi. Run by two brothers, whose mother is called Aicha, it's a cosy & clean place to experience the MIghty Sahara

this place had real character, perfect as an entry point into the sand dunes. We were treated really well and the guys there were helpful. Just what you would want in a good value accommodation.

Riad Aicha was a very good choice we made in terms of location, room, breakfast and the staff of the hotel. If we go to Merzouga, we will again stay in Riad Aicha!

Great hospitality at a good price
Made my reservation the night before arriving a few hours before actually taking the bus. When I arrived at Merzouga at 6am I told the taxi driver (this place is 5km North) that I would like to wait some time because it was still too early. He said nonsense and I ended up knocking on the door at 6am. I was immediately greated by Ibrahim that showed me to my room where I got a chance to rest until 11am. He then personally showed me the nearby area, explained local customs and helped me plan my 3 night stay and onwards trip. The place is clean with a good level of comfort and I got my own private en-suite bathroom with shower. Plenty of hot water and ac. No TV anywhere which to me was a plus. I also spent a night in the desert organized by Ibrahim and was pleased. It was only me and the guide as opposed to some very large groups that I saw. The camp while not very far from others was hidden from sight and gave a good sense of isolation and tranquility which was what I looked for. The guide was knowledgeable and proved to have a good sense of humor. The place is right next to some large dunes that you can explore on your own. A bicycle was also provided. Breakfast was included and was very good and complete. Overall this is a very nice place to stay and plan extra activities in the dessert. Would do again with no hesitation.

Owner/manager could not do anymore for us, he was brilliant, helpful and generous with his time. This is a Riad and is very traditional. It is located just a few minutes to the Sand Dunes. There are a couple of local shops selling provisions. The evening meal was top quality! For breakfast, we had some of the best ever home made bread. I strongly recommend this Riad.
Die Angaben, die auch auf unserem Ausdruck der Buchung standen stimmen überhaupt nicht mit den Tatsachen vor Ort überein. Ein Business Center und eine Bar oder Pool etc hätten wir ja nicht gebraucht, aber wenigstens ein Stück Seife im Bad oder ein Lacken, was die Matratze ganz bedeckt, wäre nett gewesen. Netterweise konnten wir die 2. Nacht vor Ort ohne Problem stornieren.

Riad aicha au top
Detente, calme, camel trekking et bivouac dans le désert, nourriture délicieuse et personnel aux petits soins, super petit déjeuner. Tout était super et je recommande vivement le riad aicha et son bivouac dans le désert. J ajoute que je voyage en chaise roulante manuelle et que l accès à la douche était facile. Je me suis sentie en famille.

If you are looking for value for money. Do not look any further. With the dessert on just 5 minute waking distance. Great view from the roofterrace over dunes and lovely tiny rooms equipped with all you need, this was maybe the most beautiful riad I have visited in Marocco. The family makes you feel at home and are always at your service to help you out with anything. To feel at home being away from home is what you can expect. Thank you for the awesome sandboarding adventure and the overal welcoming expierence!

Trevligt hotell med vänlig personal
En mycket trevlig upplevelse. Bra service och god frukost. Enda minus var att det första rummet vi fick stank. Vi fick dock byta rum direkt utan några problem. Vi kan varm rekommendera det här hotellet och den kamelutflykt som erbjuds. Mycket serviceinriktad och vänlig personal som bidrar till den familjära stämningen.

klein aber fein, neben den Dünen, super Service
eine sehr persönliche Betreuung, etwas schwer zu finden, Ankunft am Abend, Ibrahim nahm sich am Abend viel Zeit uns über seine Kultur und die Sitten der Berber zu sprechen, er spricht ganz gut Deutsch, am nächsten Morgen zeigte er uns bei Sonnenaufgang die Dünen und fuhr mit uns sogar zu den Flamingos im nahe gelegenen See. Ein absolutes Highlight unserer Marocko Rundreise

Très belle expérience dans ce petit riad authentique et chaleureux : accueil,hospitalité, service de qualité, calme et emplacement génial dans un très beau village aux pieds des dunes sublimes et d'une oasis. Très dépaysant !, avec tout le confort nécessaire et de supers petits déjeuner devant un paysage magnifique.
Vivement conseillé !
