Way overpriced and name misleading

Misleading name. Thought the road had a pool and jacuzzi but nothing like that. Thought I booked a suite with 2 queen beds but got 2 old Tony very uncomfortable beds. Ac was week, cleanliness to be desired, yes TV, very loud ( we could hear people going back and forth and people having breakfast outside our window in te morning. Worst stay ever and I could have gone in a 4 stars. Hire in the best area of Marrakech with a pool with half the price ( which I did the following day...) to be avoided

Way Overpriced, misleading description of a spa. I feel cheated! I found an extremely nice hotel 4 stars in the nicest area of Marrakesh and it was only 800 Mad (about $80) That ryad should have charged us $30. It was more like a bed and breakfast with very uncomfortable beds and sheets, no TV, no AC... Terrible

BIEN TROP CHER POUR LES PRESTATIONS REELLES

Ce qui fait la différence entre les centaines de riad de Marrakech, ce sont les détails; et ce riad ne mérite absolument pas de couter aussi cher ! de 60 a 80€ MAXIMUM !! Photos très trompeuses sur la grandeur des lieux (piscine, chambre, seb), la douche était cassée, la clim ne chauffait pas (il faisait 8° la nuit, pas de couverture en plus), la ruelle d'entrée encombrée de gravats ou de poubelles en attente ! Bref on a VRAIMENT eu le sentiment de s'être fait avoir; Et je sais de quoi je parle : je travaille dans le tourisme !

Un'oasi di pace e benessere

Abbiamo soggiornato in questo bellissimo Riad nella Medina per 3 giorni. Sin da subito, il personale si è reso attento e disponibile. Un incaricato della struttura è venuto a prenderci in aeroporto (per una cifra assolutamente abbordabile) e ci ha accompagnate in auto sin dove ha potuto (all'interno della medina le strade sono talmente strette che le auto non passano) e ha proseguito per 1 min a piedi fino al Riad (nota importante poiché è facile perdersi). La nostra camera era spaziosa e dotata di tutti confort. Il letto comodissimo. Anche la pulizia eccellente! La posizione è comoda per raggiungere tutti i principali siti di interesse anche a piedi (massimo 20 min di cammino). Vicinissimo al caos del suq, ma molto molto riparato e silenziosissimo. La colazione nella stupenda terrazza è ottima e abbondante, con prodotti freschi e tipici. Consiglio di provare il tè alla menta! Non abbiamo usufruito dell'hammam, ma ho fatto un massaggio relax di un'ora e ne sono uscita rigenerata! Il personale è molto attento alle esigenze di tutti e sempre pronto a soddisfare ogni richiesta. Questo Riad ha contribuito a rendere il nostro soggiorno a Marrakech davvero meraviglioso!

Sehr schoenes Riad, empfehlenswert

Das Riad ist supernett, sehr schoen eingerichtet mit gemuetlicher Dachterrasse. Das Personal ist sehr hilfsbereit und organisiert alles gerne (auch Abendessen, Ausfluege etc.). Das Restaurant ist gut, falls man "zu Hause" bleiben will zum Essen. Die Lage ist super (man ist gleich im Souk und in 15mins zu Fuss beim grossen Platz), wenn es auch durch eine verwinkelte Gasse geht bis man es erreicht :) Es gibt auch Hamam / Spa im Hotel, was alles sehr gut ist (nur die Pedi/Mani nicht machen).

Beautiful Retreat from the madness of Marrakech

We booked this hotel based on web reviews and we weren't disappointed. The start wasn't great as we quickly discovered you should arrange a transfer direct to the front door in order to avoid locals wanting excessive tips for insisting on taking you to the front door if the Riad to the point they wanted more than the a taxi the driver and fuel from the airport. This isn't a critism of the Riad and is clearly something to bear in mind across Marrakech. Whilst this left a bad taste it was soon turned round by this beautiful Riad it's friendly and attentive staff. Nothing was too much trouble from bottles of water to booking taxis for us. The breakfasts were typical morrocan very filling with fresh orange juice, coffee, local breads yoghurt and various morrocan pastries. We also ate here a couple of times during our stay and can recommend the food. If your looking for a five star western hotel this isn't the place for you. But if you want to get a feel for a genuine morrocan Riad in the heart of the souks of Marrakech with all the comfort required then I would thoroughly recommend Riad dar El Aila

Idéal pour se reposer

Malgré un début raté ( retard de la navette et 2 lits simples au lieu d'un double) les employés du riad ont très vite rattrapé le coup, avec un accueil que beaucoup d'endroist en France devrait copier. Le riad à deux pas des soukh et dans la médina sans oubliez la place Jall al jafna, mérite le détour et un séjour. Le petit déj copieux peut être pris même pour les adepte de la grasse mat. De plus le calme vous donne plus envie de rester que d'aller se promener. Le soir possibilité de repas sans réserver concocté par une cuisinière de talent qui vous délecte les papilles.Bref un détour s'impose.Le personnel très disponible et prêt à engager une conversation.
