    The room can get a bit hot and it‘s on the outer end of the medina.

    Incredible dinner for only a few euros! Host is super nice and helpful. Nice and clean room.

    The neighbourhood felt sometimes a bit too hectic, especially at the evening & night time, but we didn't have any special problem or atrocity, we just needed some time to get used to the environment.

    The owner (Hasna) was super helpful during our stay, she was always available and helpded us with all the questions we had, she provided everything we asked for. The breakfast, lunch, dinner were super delicious and the price was completely reasonable. The staff gave us definitely an unforgettable experience during our stay, thank you once again for everything!

    There is no soundproofing so pack earplugs of some kind.

    It was out of the centre, so it was quieter. The owners were very attentive, we had lovely dinner and breakfast there for a small price.

    It was loud at night (even till 2-3 o'clock), both outside and inside, it was difficult to sleep. Also, the smell in the bathroom is not nice. The towels smelled too.

    The owner was very helpful, communication with the owner was perfect. Breakfast was very good. Location was very good, in the medina, 18 minutes walk from the big square. Hot water in the shower, from solar system, without any problem. The bed big and comfortable, I like a bit hard beds.

    I stayed at this hotel for two nights and three days. The people were kind, and it was a wonderful experience. I wanted to wear a scarf on my head, but I didn't know how to do it. When I asked the staff, they kindly helped me put it on, and I am very grateful for that.

    The breakfast is totally insufficient and I would call it a hoax, it does not worth it. Also, we were given only one towel for 2 adults (yes, I believe one can ask for extra, but this is some lack of attention).

    Very clean, the owner very helpful and communicative. Nice position, all safe. Good value for money (in Marrrakech).

    It was extremely cold in the room. There is not a proper shower so everything gets wet when showering. No cleaning during the week unfortunately and we saw no information regarding this either.

    The host was really nice and did everything to accommodate. We liked the location and the terrass.

    The bed was really uncomfortable. The area can be a bit intimidating when you first arrive but it’s actually a brilliant location. Avoid the scammers who want to show you the way 😉.

    Lovely decorative Moroccan interior. Quiet room. Had everything we needed.

    Only thing I would change is please upgrade your mattresses or add a foam topper.

    Excellent host. Breakfast and dinner was better than my previous stay at a 4 star hotel. Riad is clean, basic but a great base for exploring the city or going on excursions. If walking to the medina walk via the school route. The other google maps routes take you to a dead end.

    A slightly dodgy area in the medina, definitely would not be comfortable walking round there alone as a woman.

    It would have been better to have two towels provided in the room for two people instead of one.

    Conveniently located to the old market area. Hosts were very friendly and welcoming.
