    General noise.

    Siad was a great manager. Nothing was too much trouble for him. Location was good, breakfast was just right to start the day. The only issue is the lack of sound proofing so any guests coming or going, or speaking in the common areas can get noisy.

    If you use the airport transfer service, make sure to either pay the taxi driver directly and make a note of it, or pay through the riad. If someone in the square picks up your bags for you, give them a tip but not the full €20!! Everything else was great and the Riad were really kind to us when we realised we might have made a mistake.

    Frederique was a lovely, welcoming host. We especially enjoyed the mint tea and explanation of the area on arrival. He really looked after us for our whole stay and the breakfasts were lovely. The location was very central - only a 5-10 minute walk to the main square where we could be picked up for excursions outside of the city.

    Amazing riad. We stayed at 2 in our trip and saved this for the last 3nights. Siad was a great host . Even when sick he had medicine at hand and his hospitality was 10/10. Beautiful views over the city with nothing blocking your sight as it's situated perfectly with a nice hot tub and rooftop lounge. Will.defentetly be back

    I visited this Riad over 10 years ago (when I first visited Marrakech, single). LOVED IT. So I came back with my kids and they LOVED IT TOO! The rooftop jacuzzi was a huge hit, the rooms were nice and clean and they treated us very well. A huge thanks and shoutout to Said and Sayeda- they were exceptional and the breakfast was great (and their help and advice was super). If you want to experience the hussle bussle of the medina and stay somewhere close by - this Riad is ideal with superb food places nearby. I would highly recommend this Riad.

    The stairs to the top are a little precarious, but just something to be careful of.

    First things first, the staff was incredible. The location was great, even being central in a busy area, the riad was quite peaceful. Breakfast was great and the shared and private spaces were always kept clean.

    It would have been better to add a photo of the entrance to the riad so it's easier to find. It's not too difficult, but a photo of the entry gate would make it a little easier to notice.

    I really enjoyed my stay at the riad. The staff is extremely helpful and very nice. The breakfast at the rooftop was really good. The manager of the riad made sure we have everything we need for the stay. I would definitely recommend staying here if you'd like to have easy access to the medina. Despite being in the centre, I was surprised how quiet it was!

    The breakfast was lovely and was catered towards us. We had such a lovely host Sayeed who went out of his way to actually wake up earlier than the time for normal to serve us breakfast as we had activities that day and had to leave early in the morning. The riad and rooms were up to date and clean. Alongside this the wifi was very good! We stayed in multiple different riads during our stay in Morocoo but me and my partner can confirm this way definitley the best by a mile. The additional luxurys off the hot tub and beautiful balcony view to overview medina was a surprise that allowed us to relax at night. Once again thankyou to our host Sayeed he is a lovely kind hearted attentive person who went out of his way to make us feel at home and well catered! :)

    The room was very nice and bigger then we expected, also clean. The bathtube is little but very comfy! This Riad is perfect if you like to stay in the very center of La Medina. Good breakfast freshly prepared everyday, with few choices (all very good). We really appreciated the kindness and availability of the staff, they’ve been really nice with us and open to all of our needs/questions. Thanks to the guy that prepared us an orange juice at 4.30am before going to the airport, very kind of him :)

    I didn't like the fact that there is really no swimming pool. There is a pool, but it's a bit of a misrepresentation on the website because it's a 'body of water' in that sense but not a pool you can swim in and it's inside. That's partly my fault however as I didn't look into it enough. Being a traditional Riad would mean there isn't a pool unless they were to have one put in on a rooftop for example. On one of the very hot days, I did attempt to go in but the water was so cold- like ice and so I gave up. Also, it's right in the main reception area and would feel uncomfortable in a swimsuit there. Not the fault of the Riad of course, it's the design of the building. The breakfast was ok, but not exceptional. I would have liked more variety and was so looking forward to something really special in Marrakesh. The other factor is that it is very small - perhaps only four to six rooms? I'm not sure. There isn't really a focal point and so you can't meet other travellers. As I was alone, that would have been nice. The room I was in was very small and there was no dressing table. The lighting in the bathroom was not great for make-up and it would have been nice to have that. The whole place could do with some beautiful flowers and general foliage. It was a bit bland.

    I enjoyed my stay at the Riad Carllion. The staff were very supportive and attentive, going out of their way to help. The place itself was authentic. It was very quiet - I was on the terrace at the very top and it was perfect for sleeping. Having the terrace with chairs outside and the rooftop was nice although I couldn't really make use of it as it was too hot. It was 40 degrees on the day I arrived and didn't drop much over the five days. Would be perfect if I had gone when it's about 22-25 degrees. It's easily accessible from all the hustle and bustle of the market and main square. Said and Fredericka were very kind and so hospitable, making the stay enjoyable.

    Our jacuzzi in our room wasn’t working and they only managed to fix it the evening before we left but they were so nice about it that they arranged for us to each have an hour long massage in our room which was excellent. Great customer service.

    Great location. 5 minute walk to the markets in the square but quiet enough not to be disturbed by the hustle and bustle of it all.
