Pros +
- The decoration
- Beautiful Riad and exceptional value for the money. We booked a flat for 5 people and stayed one night. Very spacious 2 story flat with plenty of space for everyone. Staff helped us with our luggage which was a lot and arranged a carrier to take us to the taxi. Rooms were very clean and had everything that we needed. We were provided tea and biscuits upon arrival and made to feel welcome. Thanks Riad Chorfa
- Everything! Just like my summer days, it literally felt like an oasis in the middle of the chaotic Marrakech! Hamid was super helpful and friendly and enriched my solo travel experience by a lot. Will definitely return here whenever I will be back in Morocco.
Cons -
- No shampoo, conditioner, bodywash Took 2days for soap to be refilled Were given a towel each, felt rough WIFI DID NOT WORK, 2g Sheets had holes in them Wanted only cash, then tried to charge 3% extra for using card did not pay that
- I had a room with a window to the narrow street which could sometimes get noisy, even at night. But nothing that a pair of earplugs cannot block.
- Not the most comfortable bed, but it was OK.

Very sweet staff, heated pool in the courtyard, delicious food. Location is great, quiet but very central. The roof terrace is fantastic!
Not the most comfortable bed, but it was OK.
The staff were so friendly and helpful here. I only stayed one night but they were really informative and made me feel safe as a solo traveller. Usama and Mohammed 1 were brilliant in helping me and recommending places to eat and see. Thank you so much for making my Marrakech trip comfortable. Really cute pet tortoises too!
Beautiful location, amazingly attentive staff!!We loved everything, from the comfortable rooms to the beautiful view from the terrace.
The beautiful building, the wonderful staff and the amazing rooftop. Top location also.
Beautiful and colorful interior design. Cool rooftop with lots of different areas to relax and lounge and find your own space up there for privacy. Fantastic location in the Medina. Close to everything yet nice and quiet inside.
They do not have a hammam you can use on your own for free. Just before staying here I was at another riad next door that had a riad their guests could use for free at any hour… breakfast is an up charge. I had a single room as a solo traveler and the room was very tiny. The room was so small that I couldn’t fully open my large sized suitcase. There was no free refreshments. Typically a hotel or riad offers free water, tea and coffee. This riad charges for everything…
It was a great location, loved the decor and colours of the accommodation, it had such an amazingly authentic feel.
The bed mattress was a bit lumpy, could have been more comfortable.
We stayed 6 days in the Riad. It is located in the old Medina, but away from the hustle and bustle of Jema El Efna. It has a beautiful little pool to keep cool during the hot days. It also has a few day beds on the roof to watch the sunset or to just chill. The staff were so lovely and helpful, they gave us a lot of recommendations for attractions and also where to eat and to change money etc. There are also 4 little turtles walking around by the pool during the day. We absolutely loved our stay in the Riad and will definitely come back when we are back in Marrakech.
About a 10 mins walk to the Riad from the main road as cars are not allowed in the old Medina. It did not bother us, but bear in mind there is a bit of a walk to get to it, like any other riads in the old Medina.
The friendliest and most helpful staff I have ever met at a hotel. I felt more like I was staying at someones house than a business. The hospitality they showed me was unparalleled with anything I've experienced before. I desperately needed a place to stay for a few hours while I waited for my early morning flight and they took me in like I was family. It's something I'll never forget. If I'm ever in Marrakech again I will absolutely stay here again!
I have nothing bad to say about this place, it greatly exceeded expectations and the staff went above and beyond to help me out. There is nothing that could have been done better, the stay was perfect!
Excellent people and location. The house was very beautiful and traditional and most important close to the center.
It could include some breakfast with that price comparing to the rest Riads.
Beautiful design, nice location down a quiet alley off the souks, great rooftop with incredible views
Great location, staff, roof terrace, food etc
Nothing! Really cool place
Staff were so helpful and were able to offer me a great price to upgrade my room on arrival
Aircon wasn’t very cold in my room
The stay tried to suggest a car service triple the price of a taxi .
The overcharging for simple things and the option to refuse room cleaning
The staff were great so kind and accommodating. The facility was also nice. They offer great service and really care about their customers. They also offer great food
The rooms were small.
rooms and food where amazing and the staff were very friendly
lots of stairs, but that’s normal for a Riad. not a complaint!
STAFF WERE HELPFUL TO OUR NEEDS
THE PHOTOGRAPHS ON BOOKING .COM MUST HAVE BEEN PHOTOSHOPPED AS THE REALITY ON SEEING THE INTERIOR WAS SADLY LACKING.ALSO NO ALCOHOL AVAILABLE BUT WE COULD BRING IT IN AS REQUIREDBREAKFAST AND SNACK MENU WAS NOT WORTH THE EFFORT
Good breakfast & plenty of it. The staff were very helpful & friendly. Peaceful location, yet so close to the heart of the medina. We loved the different seating areas on the rooftop. Would highly recommend this riad.
