Pros +
- WE LOVED EVERYTHING! Our stay was an absolute dream! We were here on vacation and the riad was amazing. The staff was very friendly, the room was comfortable and clean, and the food was absolutely amazing! We booked a couples hammam and a massage too!
- Staff was fantastic, very helpful and friendly. Room and Riad was very authentic and an great experience. Greatonsite message services.
- This riad is truly unique. We arrived late at night and were warmly welcomed by the amazing Amine with delicious Moroccan tea, which helped us relax after a long and tiring journey. The next morning, after a very restful night, Amine was there again to greet us and serve a wonderful Moroccan breakfast. It’s such a pity we couldn’t stay longer, as the riad was already fully booked. ?
Cons -
- Everything was great!
- Honestly, there was nothing we didn’t like everything was perfect. The only disappointment was that we couldn’t extend our stay because the riad was fully booked.
- They asked me to pay in cash upon arrival which I was not prepared for. I asked to pay with card and the machine wasn’t working and they said I could pay later after going to an atm. In my situation, I wasn’t able to get cash from the atm at that time. It worked out because the card machine works the next morning, but I think if they want payment in cash that should’ve been listed somewhere before arrival (and maybe it is and I just missed it).

The riad was beautiful. The staff was also very nice. Everything was very clean. The area seems to be safe, and I walked around the area at night alone.

It was a nice quiet Riad with close proximity to the medina and attraction
Construction work opposite to the property but they are almost done
The decor was stunning & maintenance was impeccable. Room was spotless & staff were very helpful. Airport transfer was flawless especially given the flight delay & delay in getting to arrivals on the other side. Felt very safe with staff to bring us to our property at very late hours on our arrival
The facilities were very clean, however there was a dead cockroach in our room and many dead cockroaches in the surrounding streets
Beautiful riad, so picturesque. Gorgeous rooftop terrace. Excellent location, quiet but close to the centre. Very friendly, helpful staff. Lovely food in a romantic setting. Highly recommend.
Maria, Oman and every other staff are very kind and helpful. We felt very welcomed. The riad is really beautiful.
A gem of a place! Nestled between the Medina alleyways, you open the door to an oasis of calm. Beautiful architecture, lovely rooms, fabulous rooftop area with sunbeds & a small pool. Location perfect for accessing everywhere. Staff were really friendly & attentive.
Can't fault it. If there was a small fridge in the room it would have made it even more perfect but staff were happy to supply us with ice for our drinks so no problem!
Great stay and made to feel very welcome. Comfortable room and lovely chilled rooftop space. My husband and I had the joint hamman and massage which was wonderful and so very reasonable A refreshing drink option on the rooftop would have made the stay top dollar
Very welcoming and comfortable Riad. Friendly staff and amazing terrace and pool area.
Overall it was a nice stay. We had access to kitchen as well. The room was good. They packed the breakfast for us as well as we had to leave early for the tour.

Location was a 10 min walk from the main drag - reception lady friendly & helpful, thanks a lot.
Breakfast was mentioned to be between 8-10am, when I arrived for breakfast at 9.40am, the guy said it was finished, after a lengthy chat, he said he would sort me some out.
The communication for arranging to collect us from and take us to the airport was fantastic, and it made us feel very safe. Our luggage was portered from where the taxi dropped us to the Riad, so we didn't have to try to work out how to find it through all the alleys. We also booked a meal for the first night because we wanted to 'find our feet' before trying to order food there and it was nice to have that safety net. The location was fantastic, hardly any walk at all to the Medina, and really not very far to the Souks. The staff were super attentive, they really go above and beyond. They even offered to do us breakfast at 5am because we were going on a balloon trip which we didn't take them up on, but we were astounded at how obliging they were. If you want or need coddled and pampered, these guys will do it . The breakfasts were nice and the coffee outstanding. If you want 'british' tea I'd suggest taking a teabag. The public areas were all quite beautifull and when we arrived they switched on the fountain and gave us mint tea. A couple of times we requested coffee during the day and it arrived promptly. The roof area was lovely, with plenty of seats and tables to relax, lovely views and birds singing, total bliss. Breakfasts were a selection of breads, crumpets or pancakes and jam or honey served to your table, with sometimes some fruit. Coffee, fruit juice, and also a rather lovely little omelette. We never left feeling hungry. It was more than ample
The room was a little more shabby than we expected. The entrance and main square in the middle of the riad are so lovely, so the room was a bit of a disappointment compared to them. We were on the ground floor and it could be quite noisy with people coming and going. The bed was super comfy and huge, although it did have a bit of a bulge down the middle, but there was so much space it made no difference to us really. There were very few coathangers so we had to ask for more, but we just needed to ask. It could have done with another mirror that didn't have a sink in front of it, I struggled to put my contact lenses in, not having a close up mirror. The WIFI on the roof area was a bit iffy
We thought the property was very nice, The too terrace was lovely to relax. The staff very friendly and helpful
Mattress’s we’re a little hard for our old bones. The only thing we thought could be improved was breakfast. We would have liked maybe yoghurts and a choice of fruits. But that was the only thing we thought could have been improved. Some of our party of 6 struggled to use the tv’s. Myriam and Omar were lovely.
This is a beautiful riad with comfortable rooms and stunning common areas. It has a rooftop pool (which is more than a plunge pool) and entertainment areas. It overlooks La Mamounia Gardens. We did not avail of the spa or dining room, but as we had an early flight, the riad provided us with a packed breakfast. The airport is very easily accesible from this medina.
It is a 5 minute walk to the main roads from the riad, with little available on the way. Being on the outskirts of the Medina it's a fair distance from the sights of Marrakech and there is a lot more car traffic than more centrally located places. Payment was cash only as our bill was under 100 euro. This was not clear on booking.
This riad is the kind that Colin Bosworth here in Marrakech would describe as a design classic. It has to be one of the most beautiful homes I’ve ever been to. The staff here are very friendly, charming and professional. Just amazing. I definitely plan to return here in the future.
Beautiful roof terrace and excellent staff. Lovely breakfast every morning. 24/7 receptionist, clean towels and room daily. Excellent location to walk around Marrakesh. Lots of taxis nearby to transport if needed.
Very thin walls meaning we could hear other guests at night coming into the Riad.
We had dinner on the first night which was excellent. Staff very helpful and taxi service from airport brilliant room was a really good size and comfortable
The shower wasn't very powerful but the water was hot. Wi fi in and out a lot
