    We loved our stay here, only comment is the entrance is slightly tucked away from the road it is in and can be hard to find at first!

    We really loved our stay here. It’s a traditional riad in a quieter, local part of the city, which gave us a different and very welcome perspective on Marrakech. We happened to be the only guests during our stay, which made it extra peaceful, yet the staff were still incredibly attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. The building is full of character and very well kept.l and the beds were incredibly comfortable. It felt calm, personal, and like a very genuine experience. We would definitely recommend it, and thanks again to the whole team for this incredible welcome!!!

    Prefer shower cubicle rather than over bath.

    Staff friendly, and helpful with choosing restaurants and booking trips. Moroccan style decor. 8 minute walk to main square. Comfortable places to relax in shade beside pool, sofa on 1st floor and lantern lit roof terrace. Home made pancakes and pikelets delicious. Good coffee.

    Beautiful, quiet and a perfect oasis from the hustle and bustle of the busy streets. Loved the architecture of the building and the special touches throughout the property. The breakfast each morning was nice with fresh fruit and hot pastries.

    My friend and I enjoyed the pool and garden area. We were kindly welcomed in the riad upon our arrival. The room exceeded our expectations: it was very clean, bedding was confortable and of course the design was traditional and beautiful.

    The local residents spent the night on the corner playing music and talking loudly making it hard to sleep. Nothing the Riad could do about it and the only problem we had.

    The riad was just a bit outside the medina (8 min by foot) but this detail did not have an impact on our stay.

    Very nice and comfortable riad just outside the Medina. Breakfast was amazing, the room was very clean and the bathroom was very spacious (with everything you need). Our host was just amazing. Would recommend booking here!

    If I was on my own I think I’d have felt nervous walking back to the riad at night as it’s a little off the beaten track. But then I don’t like doing this at home either!

    The riad is a peaceful refuge from the craziness of the Medina! It’s about a 15 minute walk to Jemaa el-Fna. The staff were really lovely, breakfast was good, and the room comfortable.

    I purposely booked a room with two single beds and they gave it to somebody else promised that I could have it back the next day but never forgot it so then I had to share a bed with my friend . Spent a long time finding a Riad I had single beds so it’s extremely annoying and uncomfortable sharing with a bed with somebody you don’t want to share a bed with. You really need to think about this next time.

    Love the raid it was very well done and maintained

    It was challenging to find when we first arrived, but perfect otherwise.

    Staff are friendly and very helpful. The riad is in the perfect location to walk to the square and other shops. The riad is beautiful and very clean. We will definitely stay here again in the future.
