    Very Welcoming, Lovely Riad in the Marrakech Medina.

    The property does show a little of its age. However, we find that all part of the history and charm on the property itself. Perhaps some tile repair in the corners of the bathroom, but this is very picky. We were delighted with the property.

    The property is beautiful, however, we were most impressed by the friendliness and hospitality of the staff. The property itself is decorated with Moroccan style, which we love. we were very comfortable in both our private room and the common areas.

    A delightful Riad - a haven of peace and tranquility in the busy and vibrant Medina. The lush gardens and sound of birdsong creates a calm, shaded and relaxing environment - whilst the roof terrace offers all day sunshine. Traditionally furnished - our room was spacious, with a seemingly endless supply of hot water for the huge bath, and an extremely comfortable bed. We were well looked after by Omar, for whom nothing was too much trouble, and the lovely staff. It’s well located on the edge of the Medina and is a great base for exploring both the old and new Marrakech

    Sometimes there was an unpleasant smell coming from the bathroom/toilet. I believe it has nothing to do with the cleanliness of the place, but with the sewer system of those older buildings. I noticed it in different accommodations all over Morocco.

    The Riad has a beautiful layout and is well situated just outside of the Medina, yet very central and in a quiet neighborhood. Its decour and interior design is very typical and when you enter the Riad you dive into a peaceful and quiet world, away from all the hustling and bustling of the city. There are two patios inside. One with a pool and a nice pavillon and one with an aviary (birds) and many plants. Everything is very lush and green and there was always a scent of orange blossom in the air. The rooms are also very nice - spacious, very comfortable, clean and aesthetically decorated. The breakfast was simple but good. Always fresh orange juice, coffee, tea, yogurt, bread, a changing variation of pancakes, croissants or local specialities as well as different spreads (jam, cream cheese etc.). It would have been nice to also get some fresh fruit (apples, bananas, clementines etc.) and perhaps some amlou (typical Moroccan almond spread). That would have made the breakfast perfect. Overall we had a wonderful stay and felt very well taken care of. Most of all because of the great services of Jabril, the cleaning lady and Omar. Omar was always there for us when we needed him - whether it'd be in the morning for breakfast or during the day. He is a very nice, friendly and helpful guy and it was always nice to have a chat with him.

    Very authentic riad in a quiet part of the city centre. Close enough to the markets without being too close. The staff, particularly Omar, were wonderful and made our short holiday memorable. Would definitely stay again when returning to Marrakesh. Highly recommended.

    I recently stayed at a hotel that was nothing short of high class and high quality. From the moment we arrived, the staff made sure we felt welcomed. The check-in process was great and the staff even helped with our suitcases. They reserved a special space for our car which was really helpful. The room itself was spacious and had a great smell. The towels were clean and fresh and everything was well taken care of. We felt like we were at home thanks to the staff, who were incredibly kind and went above and beyond to make us feel good and important. They really tried their best to make sure we had a good stay. The breakfast was outstanding and I would like to mention Omar who went out of his way to organize lunch for us on the day of check-out. We didn't feel rushed or pressured to leave quickly. The hotel was in a great location in the center of Morocco, which made it easy for us to go around and see the sights. It was a chill and comfortable place to stay, I highly recommend it. Five stars all the way!

    The hotel is clean and very peaceful, the perfect place to relax after exploring beautiful Marrakech. It is located within walking distance to all points of interest in the Medina and even the new town. The highlight however are the staff, who are all extremely friendly. On a couple of days we headed out of town for day trips before the regular breakfast hours and they still went out of their way to pack us a yummy breakfast for the road, which we really appreciated.

    It's not very sound-proof but it's a thing with all the riads I guess - if you are sensitive to noise at night better bring some eat plugs :)

    The Riad is a dream. The receptionist ist such a heartwarming and welcoming host. It's a short drive from the airport and easy accessible by car (they organized a shuttle for us). The area is super qiet and save. It's only a 10 minute walk to the medina. The breakfast is typical Moroccan and a lot and very delicious. It was a little chilly in the morning and they proactively set up a heater next to our table so that I didn't feel cold. Beds were comfortable and the shower warm and with good pressure. The bathroom was en suite, spacious and separated from the room by a real door.

    Thank you! We had a wonderful stay. We loved our room, the layout of the hotel - build around garden courtyards and a pool - but, most importantly, the staff were so welcoming, kind and helpful. Free parking was available outside. Driving in Marrakesh is certainly not for the fainthearted, but what an adventure! We were recommended and had a wonderful dinner in a hotel around the corner called Hotel Arabe. Great introduction to Morocco. Thank you.

    Changing sheets after I had bled on them after slipping on bath. The bathroom plumbing had a slight smell.

    The greatest asset of this establishment. They were all so welcoming and helpful, making strangers to this area feel at home. It would be wrong to single anyone out as they were all equal from the Manager to the young maid and all inbetween. Nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was plentiful and well cooked thanks to Rashida's skills and good humour.
