“Perfect stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

person found this review helpful

One of the best hotels I have stayed in. Cosy rooms (stayed in "Mauve" which I liked the most (visited all the rooms on that floor).

Breakfast was fantastic, helpfull staff.
Entire hotel is beautiful.

Only two distubing things were people playing football on the nearby square, which was a little (but only very little - ) disturbing.
It irritaded me a little bit that we were charged 20 dirhams for a simple tourist map given in the hotel - I havent been charged for maps even in the cheapest hostels in Asia.

“A fabulous home from home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 December 2011

person found this review helpful

This was a second visit for myself and a third for my travelling companion. Another fabulous stay. Nothing is too much trouble for Maria and Jebrane, who are exquisite hosts and the lovely friendly and helpful staff. Our transfer to and from the airport was organised and we were met at the Riad the inhouse staff with mint tea and home made pastries.

Maria and Jebrane ensure that your experience is smooth and relaxing and their knowledge and advice is most helpful for the contrasting bustle of the city. Rashida, the housekeeper, accompanied us to buy spices and she took us the markets where the moroccans shop and showed us the fish & meat markets and the bakery where the local pastilla is made.

Riad Saba is beautifully furnished; stylish and the rooms all of a good size, light and airy and all have aircon. The roof top terrace is a great place to have breakfast and sun loungers and sunhats are provided if you want to do nothing but relax. The location is central and is within a five minute walk of the Place Jemme El Efna; local restaurants and souks. We stayed on each trip for four or five days but you come away feeling like you have known each other for years!

We would highly recommend it to anyone travelling to Marrakech and we wouldn't think of staying anywhere else! Loved it!

Room Tip: First floor rooms are a little lighter. All are lovely.

“Relaxing Retreat”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 October 2011

Staying in a Riad while in Marrakech is a fantastic way to visit, and Riad Saba is the only one you'll want to stay at. The streets and alleys of Marakech were often hectic and confusing and the weather was unseasonably hot - which often made for exhausting days of explorations. After a busy day of moving through the city, coming back to an oasis like Riad Saba was a relief. It's beautiful inside. The atmosphere was total relaxation and Maria, Jabrane and the staff were superb hosts. The rooms were the cool, quiet, clean accomodations we expected but much more beautiful than we had hoped. The meals they provided us were delicious and served with local wines that were a revelation. Others have written about how helpful Jabrane and Maria are and I whole-heartedly agree with what I've read. Their love for their city and the culture is enlightening and infectious. Their advice helped us save money, time and made our explorations more meaningful.

“An oasis”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 October 2011

person found this review helpful

Riad Saba was an oasis of peace and quiet in the frenetic medina of Marrakech. Jebrane and Maria were incredible hosts -- We felt like we were staying with friends. Jebrane gave us essential tips to avoid getting scammed and great advice in general for our first visit to Marrakech. All the staff were so accommodating -- When we needed breakfast at 500am to make a tour, when we wanted wine at 1000pm, the staff catered to us with a smile. Our room, "Ocean," was lovely and most importantly, had air conditioning! Breakfast on the rooftop terrace was plentiful (coffee, tea, orange juice, hard-boiled eggs, bread, yogurt, fruit, and more), and our one dinner at the Riad was excellent (Moroccan salads, chicken tagine for my partner and veggie tagine for me, and fresh melon for dessert). The only negative we can think of is our cold shower on the last day (The Riad had run out of gas on Sunday and couldn't get more delivered until Monday.); however, Jebrane handled the issue graciously by apologizing and explaining the situation without our even having to bring it up. We would, without hesitation, recommend this Riad to anyone visiting Marrakech. And we thank Jebrane, Maria, and their entire staff for making our stay such a good one.
