Great stay due to wonderful hosts

Location of the riad was good, very central. The condition of the riad needs to be updated. This is not a 3 star riad, there was no king bed, the singles bed was more a couch, bedding was not premium, the "mattress" was caved in. There were no toiletries and the lighting in the room some was not working and it's very dim. Overall, we had a great stay because the host and staff were amazing. Service was beyond expected and this made up for the stay. Thank you Ismile , Mohamed and the cleaning ladies, we enjoyed the tea, great conversations and light breakfast moroccan pancakes with olives.

The location was an ideal few minute walk to the sqaure where all the action was happening. Yousef made it so comfortable to ask questions. He noticed that we were a little nervous to find a certain restaurant so he walked us there. I recommend also getting the taxi service to and from the Riad. They were prompt and it was a comfortable ride. Worth the money overall. Breakfast was awesome! Would stay here again.

Lovely Riad

Such a lovely little place with friendly staff. Our family of 4 had the Baha’i room which was quite spacious with a queen and 2 twins. Breakfast was pastries, orange juice and coffee. The Riad is located on the Medina path so you cannot drive to it. Lots of people will ‘help’ you get to the hotel but they will likely lead you off the Medina path and all around and back to the Medina path for a fee. Just keep on the main path and look for the sign hanging above to direct you, it is several minutes walk from either the road way nearest or from the main square.

lovely

A paradise within a paradise. The staff were so sweet we looked forward to seeing them each day, the room was clean and cosy with a wonderful vibe, the breakfast each day was amazing, and the location was truly perfect; in a gorgeous little street 5 minutes from the central square. The highlights were the stunning central courtyard with vines crawling over the verandas, and sunset views from the terrace. There was a slight smell from the bathroom its true, but not noticeable after the first 5 minutes. We will be back as soon as we can be :)

We will go back to Marrakesh!! Stayed 3 nights but should have been at least 5. ATM usage limited with VISA Debit cards. Next time we will only take EURO Cash along because we ended up without cash for two days. Hotel very authentic (basic) When flying back take at least TWO hours to get through safety before boarding time.

nice Riad, nice location not far from Jema el Fana

Good room facilities. Had aircon in both the main room and side bedroom. TV was wifi enabled so kids could watch their cartoons on Youtube. The Riad is in good general condition with nice little nooks and cranny's (seating areas) to chill out in.

Riad very comfortable, nice staff, good food and very clean. Area easily accessible and secure. I recommend both for families, couples or group of friends looking for some rest after a long walk. Short distance from the main square and the transport.

Magnificent little jewel

Lovely Moroccan style riad and very close to the city center. However it was quiet enough that you could sleep marvelously, the only thing waking me up were the birds singing. Service was great. Room was clean, but remember the Moroccan standards (don't expect white polished marble bathrooms). Air conditioning saved my life. Breakfast is only sweet (butter and jam) with different styles of Moroccan bread, olives, fresh orange juice, coffee and milk, in a beautiful inner garden with birds and turtles (like in a Disney movie). Also, note that being in the city center itself, you will have to deal with the Moroccan I-want-to-sell-you-anything culture every time you try to get back to the riad.

Perfect little Riad in the heart of Marrakech

Fabulous 3 night stay with the family in the Bahia suite. Perfect location for sightseeing (only 2 minutes from the main square). Super friendly staff (especially Anouar) who couldn't do enough for us. Booked all our airport transfers, guides and sightseeing trips through the hotel which worked out much better than any deal I found on the internet. Lovely sunny rooftop terrace as well! Can highly recommend this Riad!

Nice classis Riad, specially for the people who likes old Arabic style designs will love this accomondation. Breakfast was good, with Maroccain style bread. The hosts Ali and Mohammed are very nice people, helping you with everthing you need. If you need a day trip to other cities (advisable) , ask them so they can arrange it for you. There are beautifull cities nearby Marrakech which are worth to visit. The price/quality of this hotel is very good, for what you pay for more than reasonable. I would highly advice this hotel to the visitors of Marrakech.
