On arrival at this riad. We were welcomed by the wonderful Halila. (sorry for spelling.)This guy made our stay at this riad so special.. Although a bit of a mix up initially and after checking in we were told we would be staying in another riad a few doors away. So for first 2 days we were looked after by Abdul. At the Mawar ....Who’s breakfasts were brilliant 👍🏼 We moved back to Riad plein sud for the rest of the holiday. Our room was quite small but perfectly adequate for our needs. This beautiful little oasis of a Moroccan hotel with a very pretty court yard and little plunge pool. The riad also has a roof terrace which was lovely to sit and enjoy a book after the dust and heat of the souks. The manager Chaouqi was fabulous and of course the wonderful Halila. Chaouqi arranged all our trips for us and gave us great advice on how to keep safe and how not to get ripped off in the souks. He even gave us his number and said if we got lost he would come get us. (We didn’t need it but another couple who were staying at the same riad did get lost and Chaouqi true to his word went to get them) After the first day we felt safe and confident finding our way around the souks and the square. Even bartering and in some cases winning 👍🏼 We booked half board and so pleased we had especially after a long hot day exploring. It was lovely to go back shower and enjoy the delicious home cooked meals served with joy and humour every evening by the brilliant Halila. Breakfast was simple but very satisfying. Fresh orange juice, pancakes, fresh bread, jams, cakes and delicious coffee. Prepared and served by Raja. Who I think also prepared the wonderful tagines we enjoyed so much in the evenings. We visited Ozudea waterfalls and absolute must. Our guide Azzouz was brilliant. He was so knowledgable and made sure we saw and experienced every last bit including feeding the monkeys Wonderful. Our other trip to the Ourika valley again our wonderful guide Mohammed made sure we saw and experienced everything including breakfast in a Berber house where the lady of the house made us breakfast of bread, butter,oil and mint tea. Beware this trip includes a massive hike to the top of the waterfall and it very strenuous. Was a lot tougher than I was lead to believe. So wear good shoes and be prepared to climb. Worth the hard work though. We had the most amazing trip to marrakech and are so pleased with our choice of riad. If we every get the chance to visit Marrakeck again we will chose the Plein sud in a breath.…
I love this place been staying here for the last four years I give it five because the staff are great it is a worn traditional Moroccan Riad right in the Médina help / good service and staff that are on your side and will help you enjoy your time in Marrakech why stay in a clinical hotel when you can stay / live where the locals live see you Again later this year CHAULKY and his team…
I booked this Riad for the 5th to 9th of march when we arrived we were taken to another Riad and finally placed on our last night in this one, I was sad the pool was not filled but our room and staff were lovely and it is a stunning Riad and the breakfast a fair portion!
Highly recommend this Riad. Extremely helpful and welcoming, sorted out day trips and we were collected and dropped off back at the riad, the home cooked evening meal was well worth booking and very tasty. The location was spot on for visiting the souks and the media square. It was nice and quiet at night and when sat on the roof getting some rays it was tranquil. We had a early breakfast on our departure day which was no issue. Would highly recommend this Riad.…
We spent Christmas 2018 at this hotel and for a Boutique/ Traditional Hotel in the area it was perfect, Breakfast was basic but we got some variation when we asked the manager. The Owner Chaouqi was very helpful with everything from arranging Trips, advice on local amenities, restaurants etc.. all in all a very stress free stay at this hotel. And we are already planning on going back to stay at Christmas (2019) this year and hope Chaouqi can help us with our intended trip to Sahara... Thanks.. Lee & Anyanut…

"Take one of the rooms on the first floor towards the back of the Riad as this is quieter and cooler than the top floor and ground floor"Read full review
