    As you cant drink the water i feel a bottle of water should be replenished daily in your room.

    Very clean and comfortable Riad. Abdel and all the staff go above and beyond their duty to cater for your every comfort. Don't be put off from the unkempt street as when you approach the Riad as when you open the doors its WOW... The breakfast is amazing.

    We loved everything. The 5 star rating this property has is very well deserved. If I could rate the property 10 stars I would. It was amazing. This was the best place I’ve ever stayed at. They were so accommodating of my friends and I. If I’m ever going back to Marrakech. Without a doubt staying here.

    The location was a bit further from the souks and Jemaa el-Fnaa (main square) than our first tiad in the old city, an 18-20 minute walk, which is fine if you don’t mind the walk. It is close to the mosque. It might be closer the new city, not sure. There is a tall young man who hangs out where your car will drop you off who tries to get you to pay him for carrying your bags. Avoid him. There was construction going on next to the building and walkway was covered with rocks. The front desk woman asked them to clear a path and they kindly did, but it still was hard on our roller bags.

    The staff was very helpful and kind. Our daughter got sick and the riad front desk man went to the pharmacy for us to purchase medication that really helped her stomach. Their English was limited, but we were able to communicate. Just be prepared. They also helped with arranging a car taking our bags to the car for the airport. They’ll store your bags after checkout if needed. The sheets felt really nice and bed comfortable. Air conditioning was good. Very clean. Breakfast was yummy. The hospital is nearby and several police monitoring area.

    We stayed 3 nights at this Riad and we loved it. We were coming from the desert very tired and this Riad was a very welcomed rest. We had dinner in the firts night which was delicious. We had a tour the next day and they kindly offered to prepare our breakfast earlier. The room was always very clean. Our flight was late at night and they let us stay in the Riad later, keeping our bags as we had one last stroll through Marrakech. Abdel is a very nice host Thank you all so much.

    Everything was perfect

    Fantastic Moroccan riad, beautifully combining traditional and modern elements. The breakfast was very good, and the room was comfortable with wonderfully scented hand soaps, shower gel, and shampoo. The greatest advantage was the staff — everyone was polite, very helpful, and always with a smile. We arrived at the riad around 10:30 p.m., and there was welcome tea and cookies waiting for us. I had informed them earlier in the afternoon asking if it would be possible to have a light dinner, and they had prepared a lovely meal and set the table for us. The food was delicious. One day, we needed to wake up early for a day trip. We informed them, and they kindly served us breakfast at 6:30 a.m., earlier than the usual breakfast hours.

    Excellent attention and beautiful rooms. Everything was perfect and the attention was incredible. The only thing is you must arrive walking, as no cars fit in the street and it’s kind of sketchy, safe, but sketchy. Plan to arrive in the day and you’ll have no problems :)

    Nothing to dislike here.

    Wow 👌 what an absolute gem of an oasis to stay. Beautifully furnished and every comfort catered for. Very comfortable beds, linens, immaculately clean, and the staff especially Abdel went above and beyond his duty. He served us a delicious breakfast each morning, told us places of interest, and arranged airport transfers (20 euro) . We were met at the drop off point and taken personally to this beautiful riad by the night porter. We had a very tasty 3 course evening meal at the riad which was delicious. We will definately be returning Thankyou to you all who made our stay so perfect in every way. We will miss you all. Ann and Tim.

    More restaurants serving alcohol, but that's their culture so it has to be respected.

    The location was just right for us, about a 15-20 minute steady stroll into the centre. A little daunting when we first arrived as there were no signs for Riad Beni Sidel but plenty of signs for others. However, it didn't take long for one of the locals to point us in the right direction. All the staff were fantastic, very helpful and always polite. The Riad was spotless, and it was a bonus having the roof terrace and pool, although the pool was more like a plunge pool (it was February after all!) Some people may be put off having to walk down all the little alleyways particularly at night, but we always felt ok, never troubled. It was nice to see the children actually playing outside in the alleyways -football, spinning tops, roller skates - very nostalgic! Amazing sense of history wherever we walked, always wanting to peek behind the next Riad door to open! The locals kept to themselves, but if we spoke they interacted. Do your homework before you go if, like us, you enjoy an alcoholic drink with your meal! Not readily available, but Tripadvisor was reliable. Kabana restaurant was our favourite, with rooftop tables and cocktail bar, we rated that the best during our stay. La Pergola also fairly good, with live jazz from 8pm. All restaurants that serve alcohol are best to book, especially on a weekend. All the restaurants in and around the square had the best rooftop views for sunset, but we didn't find one to have a beer in which was a shame. Atlas mountains trip to see the waterfall was very enjoyable and excellent value for money with Booking.com. Moderate fitness required, good trainers are adequate, not suitable for pushchairs as advertised though! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay of 6 nights, but 4 would have been enough.
