    The riad is perfectly positioned in walking distance to many of the main attractions in Marrakech, and is in a quiet location with free parking at the doorstep. The pool was clean and so refreshing after walking the busy streets. My room was well appointed and very comfortable. Loved my two nights here!

    Peaceful, delightful Riad away from the hustle and bustle but close enough to walk to the main attractions and restaurants. Very friendly and welcoming staff who went out of their way to help when visiting Marrakesh for the first time. Clean and comfortable accommodation. Lovely pool to cool off in after sightseeing, with towels provided. Great breakfast on the beautiful rooftop terrace. Will definitely return

    No one mentioned that water was an extra charge. This was not very important, though.

    Good location, on a small street, not an inaccessible alleyway. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful!!

    This was the most gorgeous property we stayed at in our time in Morocco. The courtyard and garden were stunning and the service was amazing. The staff was so friendly and helpful. They helped us with bags and also gave us great recommendations for food and other activities. This was also one of the safest riad’s we stayed at. They had cameras outside and a heavy bolted door at the entrance that required you to ring the bell before entering. The rooms were incredibly spacious and clean. I can’t recommend this place enough!!

    it's not a complaint - but if you are not a walker then you may want to be a bit more central - but we found the location perfect - 15 minute walk to central souks, easy access all the way around - and for heading to locations a bit further - easy access of taxis!

    great Riad, charming interior, welcoming staff, lovely big rooms, cascade of tropical plats in the courtyard hosts lots of birds. Lovely house cat name Eros who came to visit and hangout.... staff could not do enough for you - small oasis from outside!

    A little pricey but a one night stay but worth it if you stay longer.

    The property is in a good location. About a 12 minute walk to the main market. The ambiance inside was lovely. Beautiful greenery and birds. There is a pool but we didn't use it. We were only there for one night but Omar took great care of us. He arranged our taxi to dinner and helped us with our luggage for our tour early the next morning. His colleauge accommodated our early departure with breakfast as well. We had the suite with the terrace area overlooking the pool.

    That we had to leave so soon. I would have liked to have stayed longer.

    This is the perfect oasis away from the hustle and bustle of Marrakesh. Myself and my 14 year old daughter were welcomed and genuinely looked after. From the moment we arrived Omar & Zayden looked after us and gave the best tips and advice. Nothing was ever too much and service was 5*. Our room was huge and had everything needed to make our stay perfect. I'll never forget opening the antique doors on to the courtyard each day. Breakfast was just perfect with freshly squeezed OJ and home made pancakes! I felt very special each morning to have the table already dressed and waiting for us. The property is perfectly positioned to be so close to all the main sights without being in the hustle of it all. Restaurants and shop within walking distance and close to the airport too. I can't recommend this property enough and I for sure will be back. Thank you for making our trip special. Xx

    For a late wake-up person, it will get noisy from all the birds singing in the early morning - very noisy. The bathroom could have been more maintained - the toilette seat is not fixed to the floor, but I understand it could be typical...

    Very accessible for taxi and is 4 minutes walk to plenty of restaurants and shops but not close to any direct loud location. The road is split into two sections with two beautiful patios, one with a small swimming pool as the other with songbirds in a large cage, hence the name "Assafir" (songbird). We had room no 6, which was located on the 1st floor, and plenty of room and privacy in authentic scenery. The staff was helpful as the first arrival to the Medina might be confusing. Breakfast is typical local and is sweet.
