With a girlfriend, I stayed here in June 2011. [Easy Jet holidays] Firstly we were greeted by the young woman [in national dress] who runs this hotel but is not the owner. We were given tea and snack while we waited for the manager to arrive.

The setting of this Riad is great. With a nice open courtyard and lots of natural vegetation all around.

The room was wonderful. Very nice and clean. The shower was good. This is a small very personal location. The main door from the street is locked and you need to ring a bell to get in. The bedrooms are not locked and really this felt the natural thing in this setting. The bedrooms are on the first floor. The stairway from the ground to the second floor is adorned with wonderful photographs of local people and scene. On the second floor there is an open balcony, where you can relax in the shade or in the sunshine. There was often a gentle breeze up there during our stay.

There is a small indoor pool on the ground floor. Very refreshing for a dip, but the water is very cold and perhaps comes from the Atlas mountains.

The breakfast [which was included] was different each day and good. Not buffet style but individually prepared by the people who run the Riad. However I can’t say the same for dinner. We ordered dinner one evening and we were disappointed with this. The ‘chef’ was the man from the hotel and we thought that he should stick to looking after the hotel and not cooking dinners.

This is a hidden gem in Marrakesh and I intend to stay here again if I come to this city.

This hotel is well located if you do not mind a little walking. It is only a 15 – 20 minute walk to the main square and souks. You need a taxi from the airport to get near the hotel. Because the Riad is in a narrow ally, you need to walk a short distance from where the taxi drops you. To get to the hotel, you will need a ‘guide’ who will be on hand where the taxi drops you. He will carry your luggage on a cart and you should give him no more than 20 dirhams.

An absolutely charming small hotel with gracious excellent service

A small authentic hotel c.5 rooms in the heart of the old town. Yet very quite and peaceful. Slept very well. You just hear the birds in the morning. A lovely roof terrace to sun bath and have your breakfast up there if you want. Lovely room. You feel safe and cared for.

They will cook a three course evening meal for you if you tell them in the morning or on the first night if you email them in advance (I wish we had done that). The food every bit as good as more expensive resturants. The meal time “whatever time you want as if it is your own home”. Safe to leave your valuables unlocked. Indeed when we left the cleaner brought us the coins we had left in the room for her in case we had accidently left them there.

Excellent – would not think of going anywhere else when we go again

We booked the Riad through a travel agency which made it affordable to travel to Marrakesh (we would have paid 40% more if booked independently). The Riad is very well located north of the Medina and very easy from there to get to all the sites. The Riad is lovely and clean. Staff friendly without being intrusive. Mohammed (super-Mo as we called it) serves as waiter, receptionist, guide... we kind of felt sorry for the guy and just hoped the pricey stay pays him and the rest of the staff a decent salary. Breakfast was great (different fruits and pastries every day an great coffee!). If you are after fancy Moroccan food definitely have dinner in the Riad (we would have had it more often but at 25 euros per head had to pass). You will pay in euros for everything so be careful not to over-order mint tea or orange juice (have it outside instead!) . On the night we arrived we asked to be recommended a restaurant and were taken to a lovely venue which unfortunately served poor food and had a creepy show on. If you are arriving at night and are not familiar with the surroundings, call in advance for the Riad to prepare dinner for you instead. After that save your money by eating in the great cheap eateries around the Medina (we did just that and loved it!)

Very good location, nice bedrooms and riad in general but very abusive price for a very poor breakfast and NO hot water facilities many times. We had a great holidays but we paid 100€ the night for a suite that is got nothing of suite, the fotographer of the riad made very good work, looks everything stuning and beautiful in the photos but...is not 100% like this and 100€ the night is A LOT for the breakfast they offer and the problems with the hot water, we are talking about MARRAKECH not about PARIS, ROME or BARCELONA, so i found it very abusive the price.

And they even ask us 15€ to smoke a SHISHA!!!! ridiculoes!
