    That there was no breakfast even though it said breakfast available. The towels didn't smell good abd were too old. The rugs also looked well worn out and didn't look clean .

    I thought it served breakfast and that's why I booked but there was no breakfast. Bedsheets were OK. But the blankets I'm not sure if it gets cleaned regularly. The towels were very old and didn't smell good but they were clean. The roof top was good. The size of the room was good

    Youssef was very helpfull in supporting us to get to the Riad from the airport and booking visits/ day trips. Etc. Calm and relaxing place for family. Classic Riad style architecture. Great location. Excellent view from the roof terrace. Good coffee with breakfast

    The Riad was in a quiet area but noise travelled within the Riad and some other guests were very noisy very late at night one of the 3 nights we were there.

    A beautiful riad with a lovely terrace and pretty rooms. A great location in the medina. The owner was helpful and friendly but there was only one person so he wasn't always there.

    The only problem we had is that the shower had no hot water but the water was just a bit warm. Warm enough to shower anyway.

    The Riad is in a perfect location, close to the market but away from the noise. We had our delicious breakfast in the rooftop. The staff was absolutely welcoming and let us check in very late at night.

    There are signs of earthquake damage through the property which is a little disconcerting, check in was weird - initially we were told we had to wait outside before a phone call was made and we were allowed to wait in the lobby for half an hour, breakfast was okay. If Riad Mouna was available I'd stay there again instead

    Location was excellent, room was comfortable and outdoor terrace lovely

    The breakfast could be improved with some fruit or salty options.

    This is the most authentic Riad in Marrakech, the furnitures are so pretty. Also have a rooftop with a very nice view where the breakfast is served. Youssef was a very nice and kind host.

    The room is too small. There is no wall or glass as a barrier of the shower room. No table and chair for resting. There is only a tiny window in the entire small unit so the cirbulation isn't good enough.

    The location is great. It's in the medina area.

    the riad requires large investments in the cleanliness and condition of the building. There is no heating, hygiene is poor, employer does not know English and gives misleading information.

    this riad has seen better times....I guess value for money in high season it's acceptable, but there was no water pressure half the time....half the lights in the room didn't work....the bathroom could have had a much much better cleaning....but to be very honest, in high season and only using the riad from 12 pm to 9am so just for sleeping it acceptable....but I've been to marrakesh a few times and was a bit disappointed with this place....

    the location was great

    We felt very comfortable no negative thinks to say.

    The whole Riad was beautiful and clean, we had really nice talking with Youssef, very interesting, helpful and kind. The staff were also very nice people, anything we needed the offered help or extra clean while we out. The accomodation is really close to jammah al fna like 5 minutes, the street where is the Riad is very clean and last but not least there is no noise at all, after spending the day in the square you can just walk in the Riad and enjoy the calmness ! I recommend 100%
