Perefectly located in the tiny alleyways of the medina near the main square Jemaa el-Fna. A deep pool in the centre courtyard keeps the whole hotel cool and fresh. The rooms are spacious and authentically decorated with daybeds and great bathrooms. The family next door house birds so that the courtyard is visited by house buntings and we were woken by black cap song each morning. A fabulous rooftop terrace gives a great view over the rooftops of Marrakesh and the tall spire of the Koutabia mosque.

We have no quibble with the cost of the hotel which is relatively good value for a rapacious and mendacious place but the manager insisted we pay a further bogus tax beyond the inclusive Booking.com price, amounting to a further 400 durhams. Only £32 or so but dishonest.

The riad was very clean and the room was cleaned everyday! The staff was very friendly and nice, we have to specifically say that Ibrahim was very helpful with everything throughout our stay!

Our room was on the ground floor, so it was very close to the lobby, which made it feel less private. The pool was small. It served more as a decoration.

Everything! Mainly the staff, Simo and his team were incredible! I had an issue before our arrival with booking.com and Simo went out of his way to support me with this even though the issue was not his problem. We stayed 7 nights and really loved it. Also the location is only 10 minutes to the Souk/medina. So the location is great!

The guys who worked there were very friendly and helpful with all my questions and needs. They even came out to find me when I got lost! Nice loungers on terrace and excellent breakfast there. Room was nice and traditional, quiet and correct temperature. Good shower. The plunge pool was nice way to cool off at the end of a day's sightseeing. Very central for main square, museums, hammam etc. Would highly recommend

Nothing.

we enjoyed everything in this little pretty RIad. The host Ibrahim could not do anymore for us and went above and beyond . I was reluctant to stay in a riad as I always stay in a hotel and this was my first time but it exceeded our expectations. We got a little lost on the first day but Ibrahim managed to allocate us and helped us with everything from start to finish.

It was a little noisy on the last night as there was a celebration and some guests were quite loud . The riad is small so this is unavoidable however this was quite late in the night and we had to catch an early flight so didn’t get the best sleep. Something for guests to take into account maybe .

My partner and I had the pleasure of staying 12 nights here in Winter. There is an exceptional attention to detail and very accommodative staff who make you feel instantly at home. We stayed in the larger room and the smaller room after booking additional nights, and from our experience, each was comfortable and air-conditioned, offering plenty of storage space, free water etc and daily cleaning service. We looked forward every day to the generous breakfast and returning to the peace and quiet of this riad after days spent in the chaos of Marrakech and the surrounds. The manager, Simo, was very helpful arranging transfers, offering transparent advice, and at one point, he went out of his way to tailor a day trip specifically to our needs just so that we could stay there longer. However Simo was not the only one who contributed to our positive experience. Ibrahim and Abdul, the other staff, were always quick to make sure we had everything we needed, and were always in good spirits offering tea to us on the days my partner was stuck working remotely. We also found the wifi speed to be stronger and more consistent than what we have at home, which was a much appreciated bonus. 10/10 would recommend this place to any kind of traveller for any length of stay. Truly a home away from home. Thank you Simo, Ibrahim and Abdul, for your thoughtful hospitality!

nothing! (having to leave)

The location was great, close to the main points of the medina with the feeling of being in the tranquility of home in the frenetic city of Marrakech. The room and the bathroom were very comfortable and spacious and they were always very clean. The staff were always very attentive and helpful, giving all the necessary explanations, tips on where to eat and helping with the transfer to the airport. The breakfast was very good and always varied, with fruit and traditional bread.

The beautiful Riad is quietly located and yet relatively central about 5-10 min from the Jeema el-Fnaa. The whole team is extremely nice, helpful and accommodating. The attentive manager of the Riad welcomed us nicely with tea and explained a few recommendations for sights and restaurants when we arrived. One must be aware that it is best to speak French but with some English and some French bits communication works out as well. Our room on the second floor was nicely furnished and clean. For reasons unknown to us, the first breakfast was a bit simpler, but perfectly adequate for our needs, while there was more choice on the second day. We also used an airport transfer on arrival, which was a good idea after all due to the slightly hidden location of the Riad. On both evenings we had the beautiful roof terrace to ourselves. And although the Riad is located in a bit calmer area, we never felt unsafe when walking there in the dark. Overall, definitely recommended!

The staff was superb, they helped us with everything (transfer from and to the airport, printing the boarding passes, giving tips for our trip) and went above and beyond! The rooms were clean and comfortable. Location is good, it is 5 min from the square. Breakfast was delicious with different moroccan breads, pastries and fruits.
