The breakfast should contain some vegetables also

Stayed in August 2025

First of all, I have to mention the breakfast. At least for me as an european I was expecting some bread, cheese, ham/salami. But unfortunately each morning the breakfirst was actually a dessert. You get only sweet stuff, like sweet bread, cookie, jam, honey, fruits and sometimes yogurt which is also a little bit sweet. Even though it was good tasting, the idea of eating so much sugar in the morning was a big disadvantage for me. Second thing I did not like it, it was the smell of urine coming out of the bathroom drainage. Here somehow I understand, because Marrakesh smells many times of urine due to constant heat and poor drainage system. Anyhow, we slept with door closed for bathroom and it was ok

It was really close to: • Royal Palace (there were a lot of police there and therefore we felt safe) • City Center and the famous square (20 min walk) • Trips I booked had the meeting point close to the Riad (I don't know if I was lucky on this, but for both trips I booked outside Marrakesh I didn't need to go by taxi to the meeting point) Other thing I liked was the staff that was really friendly and always eager to help you The riad looked traditional, which I liked and also the jacuzzi which is refreshing after the hot weather. Another plus was the flower fountain which was relaxing to hear it Room was clean and cleaned every day. Bed was comfortable and Air Conditioning was working fine (very appreciated during the 45° in August)

Very good example of hard working hosts which were very polite and made sure nothing was missed. My personal highlight was the bathroom which had a cool design and was quite spacious. Very nice stay overall, highly recommend

If there is one bad thing about the property is that it is not very much family friendly , if you are traveling as a family with kids this isn’t the place for you

The Diar was very clean and well located 10min walk to the great square , Salah the receptionist was super friendly and he is the main reason why we loved the diar and marrakesh , we had some in depth conversation and did everything possible to make our stay flawless. I’ll definetly be back to marrakesh just to stay again in this diar.

Its a 5-10 min walk so if you have a lot of luggage, you will need to drag it with you Also, there is no complimentary water

We got welcomed with delicious moroccan mint tea and biscuits The room was an apt size and staff was very helpful

Had a fantastic stay here. Staff were super kind and accommodating. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. Breakfast was perfect. Great location as well, lots of places to walk to and easy to get a cab if needed. We had a great weekend and I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Nothing.... everything was perfect. It exceeded our expectations.

The Riad is beautiful. It has a very relaxing and inviting ambiance. We were greeted with tea and biscuits upon arrival and the host was very kind and accommodating. The rooftop top area was also great with a jacuzzi, sunbeds, covered lounge and dining area. Awesome space to escape the hussle and bustle of Marrakesh. The bed was super comfy and the bedroom and bathroom quite spacious. We really enjoyed our stay here. We highly recommend it!

Nothing about the Riad to dislike!

We're recently back from an awesome stay at Dar Sholmes. In all the places I've stayed I've never received such an awesome and warm welcome as the one we got from Ismail Hidden down a (safe) back street 15 minutes from the main square, the room was modern and clean, breakfast was nice and the hot tub on the rooftop was massively welcomed after a day of walking. All staff were fantastic, but a special shout out to Salah and Ismail for how helpful and friendly they both were throughout our stay. It may be only classified as a 3 star hotel but relative to what we paid (really important to remember when scoring!!) it is easily a 10/10 score. Would more than happily stay again if we go back to Marrakesh.

The room was a good size - clean and comfortable. It was nice that they pre-heated the room before we arrived as it was cold outside and would have been cold in the room. The shower was warm and the bed comfy. The styling was really nice as well with a big comfy sofa in the reception area. Staff were brilliant and helpful.

The property was in a great location only 20 mins walk from the main square and close to the airport.

Ibrahiem and Saleh (the staff) were both very friendly and helpful. They gave us information whenever we asked to make our trip comfortable.

The breakfast was excellent. Very good service.

Stayed in December 2024

The shower runs out of hot water pretty fast and it takes a long time for it to become hot, so be warned. Towels are due for a replacement as well.

The staff was incredibly friendly, shout out to Ismael, he arranged a private transfer from the airport for us, and upon arrival we received some tea while we waited for our room to be ready. He also gave us a map of Marrakech and showed us where all the important sights are located and how to get their from the hotel. The room was pleasant, clean and comfortable. Location was perfect for us, not too close to all the noise of the medina but still in perfect walking distance.

What made the difference was the people working in the hotel. They were all very willing to assist you and solve any small issues may occur.

Stayed in January 2025

I found the breakfast to be quite average. There’s definitely room for improvement in terms of variety.

The staff was extremely supportive and always ready to help, which made my stay very comfortable. The room was spacious and well-maintained, providing ample space to relax. The Wi-Fi connection was reliable and fast, which was a big plus for me.

Excellent authentic stay in the medina. Location was fantastic and an easy stroll to the centre square and markets. There is a little short walk down the alleyways from where the taxi dropped us for our check in. We found this really interesting and part of the fun finding our riad (traditional hotel). The welcome was amazing and Ishmail went through a map with us to guide us...it was so helpful. Cleanliness was perfect and our room with ensuite was spacious and comfortable (comfy pillows too !) Breakfast was similar to continental...fruit, breads and pancakes. Then we could select an evening meal in the morning and they went out to buy the ingredients fresh that day. We ate on the rooftop on two evenings and the food was fabulous 👌 Salah and Ishmail were amazing throughout and even found soccer channels for us so that we could watch Ireland and Morocco games🤗 We availed of the hottub on the rooftop during our stay too, which was fab 😎. We always bring our favourite tea bags with us and they happily gave us boiling water, cups and milk to take to our room when we asked. If you like an authentic old town experience in a super clean and friendly setting close to the centre we would highly recommend this riad. Loved it all 👏

Thank you for an amazing experience. I came with my husband and friend and we had a great time! The staff, Ismail & his colleagues were very good to us, even helping my husband when he fell sick. Thank you so much and we hope to see you again.

It was a very nice and romantic property, i really enjoy

Stayed in June 2024

Had to pay in cash as their card machine was broken for three days. Room one on the ground floor can be noisy due to people arriving and departing early morning and evening. Breakfast was not great although always served with a smile! Internet access could be intermittent.

Staff were all amazing and the environment of the hotel was really good. Room was well presented and comfortable.

Perfect location, clean and very helpful and friendly staff.

There was nothing particular to mention.

Everything was great especially the staff's hospitality. It is a very authentic riad at a good walking location from south side of the Medina. Calm and quiet place to stay.

Stayed in April 2024

The 4 stars are misleading. Rooms are simple with thin doors. Taxi cannot drive there, 5 Min walk needed but all area is safe. Breakfast could have more diversity, lovely prepared but in way of take it or leave it.

Pension style with charm, very friendly staff
