    We had a wonderful experience at this riad. From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly kind, attentive, and made me feel completely at home. The space is beautiful and full of charm, a true oasis in the heart of the city. The rooms were spotless, comfortable, and tastefully decorated, with every detail carefully thought out. Breakfast was delicious and varied each morning, served in a peaceful setting that made every start to the day feel special. The location is also ideal, close enough to everything, yet calm and quiet at night. We especially appreciated how the hosts went above and beyond to help with anything we needed, from arranging transport to recommending local spots off the beaten path. Their warmth and generosity made all the difference.

    While the hotel staff were really friendly, it confused us a bit that they were really insisting on us making a reservation at a nearby restaurant, offered to reserve it for us but were then quite slow to make the restaurant reservation and as a result we didn’t get a table (next time we will just book ourselves). The only other minor issue is that the rooms have less privacy than some might like as a result of having non-insulated windows facing the courtyard, but this is a feature of virtually all the riads we saw. Despite these minor complaints I would still recommend this riad to others and we enjoyed our stay.

    The riad is beautifully decorated and well located on a quiet side street of the Medina, near some good restaurants. The hotel staff were all very friendly and helpful, giving us good tips for what to see and do in Marrakech. The roof terrace is pretty, but we didn’t spend that much time up there because it was too chilly in the morning and evening when we were at the hotel.

    The bed was firm, but we slept well, so I can't really complain about that.

    The Riad was perfect. The location was spot on. I would recommend arranging the airport transfer through the riad. The taxi will pick you up, and a caddie will take you and your bags through the last part of the souk, which makes the whole process easy. The Riad was spotlessly clean, breakfast was great, and everyone was really helpful. I could not recommend it enough. We did take ear plugs but never used them. We were in a standard double, and it was great. The rooftop is fab for catching some sun or a glass of wine and some nibbles.

    We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful riad. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed with refreshing mint tea and cake. The staff went above and beyond, providing detailed recommendations on where to eat and what to visit, as well as giving us a tour of the riad. Both the staff and the owner were incredibly helpful and hospitable—you truly couldn’t ask for more. The breakfast was absolutely delicious, and the Wi-Fi was excellent, allowing us to work seamlessly from either our room or the terrace.

The location is perfect for exploring different parts of the city, and despite the lively neighborhood, the street where the riad is situated is wonderfully quiet.

    Nothing that we didn't like. It was all excellent!

    Everything about our stay was excellent and I'd highly recommend this Riad to anyone coming to Marrakech. This stay was an absolute highlight of our 2024! Staff: Everyone was very attentive, helpful and friendly. We had a raft of activities and services booked for us and everything was smoothly run and very enjoyable. The Riad had a very familial feel to it, we felt very welcommed and looked after. The owners, front-of-house team, and the chef(s) were really great - as it's a smaller hotel, the staff are the same every day so I felt like we really got to know them. They knew what we were up to in the day and were keen to ask us how we had found everything when we got home in the evening. Breakfast/Dinner: we had breakfast in the Riad every day of our stay, and dined in the Riad twice as well in the evenings. Breakfast was substantial, and was slightly varied every day with a different cake/pastry. The dinners (also substantial) were fabulous! It was great to come home to the Riad from a day out exploring and have a traditional home cooked Moroccan meal. Location: the Riad is tucked away down a couple of smaller side alleys but basically within the edges of the market area. It's so close to all of the action, whilst also managing to be really quiet and relaxing. A great escape from the market madness. Fantastic location. As a note to those staying here for their first day: you could locate the Riad yourself using google maps, but we would recommend getting the airport transfer if you are worried about finding it or think you'd rather not have to naviagate yourself upon first arrival, as it is tucked away down a wee alley and not the most obvious at first glance (although I would say that most Riads around Marrakech would be similar in that regard). Activities: We booked a hammam and also some massages within the Riad. These were fantastic! Great to have our first Hammam within the privacy of our own space.
