    The riad was wonderful! The staff were very friendly and accommodating with my schedule, and they helped me with my arrival and taxi transfer to the airport at the end of my stay. They are very close to the Medina and even shared a physical map with must-see visits to help me navigate!

    The owner and Mustafa were absolutely welcoming and accomodating for our stay. The breakfast was always served so nicely and always having a teapot of mint tea and orange juice with it. Mustafa always helped us and gave us advice on what to avoid and what to do as well. I cannot be happier with our stay and the wonderful service from Mustafa, he deserves a raise! The room was clean, was tidied every day and had a little balcony inside the inner courtyard as well. The location of the Riad is quite central, there is a market one street away and is a 15 min walk to the main souks, yet is very quiet to sleep at night, which is great. I would definitely recommend it to friends and stay here again.

    The beds were a little hard but that could have just been the Moroccan style. It would have been nice to have some windows in the room but it wasn't a deal breaker.

    Breakfast was delicious, we loved the variety of food every morning and there was lots of it! The tea when we arrived was amazing and unexpected. The hosts were fantastic, especially Mustafa who took exceptional care of us. Thank you :)

    it was faultless !!!!

    Marrakesh is a beautiful city and the Riad was in an excellent location a few minutes walk from the main square. in the close vicinity there were excellent cafe and restaurants plus a few ritzy roof top hotel bars. Our breakfast was served on the roof top terrace which was also a tranquil place to contemplate this lovely vacation. The breakfast was a selection of moroccan breads, french pastries, eggs and fruit. A special mixed tray of honey, jams and spreads plus coffee, tea and juice. Our room was large and decorated in authentic moroccan style with a large ensuite. The owner Marieme provided a warm welcome and her young assistant Mustafa looked after our every need from Hamman, taxis, trips etc.

    As it is an old house (which is part of the charm and character!), noise insulation isn't perfect and it takes a moment to get hot water. But those aren't big problems!

    Perfectly located, easy walking distance to the souk, to museums, to the Jemm el-Fnaa, but also very easy to take a taxi to or from the square by the mosque next door. Mustafa, the guy working there, was super helpful and friendly. Breakfast was delicious. Rooftop was also very nice. Very well cleaned and maintained, everything was neat and tidy.

    When we arrived, the host Miriam was not so clear trying to sell us excursions and Hamman bookings. We asked if we can advise her the next day of our decision but she was not around the Riad (only our last night b/c they were expecting new guests to arrive). Also, there was a day (~7pm) which the front door was locked and no one to answer to open…we tried to contact Marieme via WhatsApp and she did not reply or answer the call. As a guest, I would expect some form of answer from the host of the Riad. Her the lack of response and lack of presence did not seem she cared for her guests.

    Mufasa was wonderful and friendly, and very helpful to ensure our satay was comfortable and we had what we needed.

    The bed/mattress was too hard and quite uncomfortable.

    The breakfast was nice. The room was very clean and tidy. You can have a delicious dinner at the hotel if you make a reservation before noon, which is especially useful if you come back late from a trip. Mustafa was friendly and helpful. Good value for the money.

    Extremely friend staff; Mustafa is an extremely helpful and a friendly member of staff. The lady that was around during the day was very friendly and kept the rooms very clean. We were made to feel like we were at home. Breakfast was lovely with a selection of breads, eggs, yoghurt and fruit. The property is well kept with a lovely upstairs terrace. The location is away from the main 'medina' area but this is a good thing to escape the main hustle and bustle!

    Mustapha was fantastic. He greeted us on the street to help us find the Riad and then provided us a delicious welcome mint tea and local pastries. We had to check out at 6.30am for a tour and he got up early at 6am to cook us our breakfast. Good location about a 10 minute walk to the main square. We would have loved to have stayed again when we went back to Marrakech but it was fully booked. Would recommend staying here

    A lovely riad with gorgeous decor and delicious breakfast

    The location was good, but not much on the doorstep in the way of restaurants etc, and rather a long walk to some of the sights like the Jemaa-al Fna (would be fine for fit walkers).

    Lovely traditional breakfast, small but comfy room with a lovely little interior balcony. The decor throughout the riad was gorgeous. Slightly precarious steps up to the amazing roof terrace with a fantastic view. Mustafa, Rita and Miriam were extremely helpful and friendly and someone was always on hand to provide anything we wanted.

    All perfect.

    Had a brilliant stay at the riad to celebrate a significant birthday. 5 bedrooms so we took it over! The best breakfast. The best mint tea. Mustafa - huge thanks for making us so welcome and tips on local restaurants. Rooms comfy and so quiet. Excellent outdoor space. All main sites easy to walk to in up to 20/30 mins. Hope to return.

    The parking situation could have been better explained before we arrived. It would be best to recommend the pay lot behind the facility for 85MAD per night

    Mustafa, the worker was excellent and personally came out to make sure we weren't getting scammed on parking and escorted us to a parking lot near the location. The tea was also excellent.

    Nothing to dislike - the beds were very firm, it wasn't an issue for us and we found it comfortable but that's personal choice. Tip - take ear plugs if you are a light sleeper as the call to prayer at 5.30am from the local mosque is quite loud! (Again not a negative of the review, you'll get that anywhere in the Medina area)

    We stayed for 5 nights and was immediately welcomed by Mariam who hugged our 2yr old and provided cakes and tea upon arrival. The riad is small, traditional and very clean and located down a quiet road. We were very happy with the cot in the room that was provided as it had an extra memory foam matress with it rather than the uncomfortable travel cots base that you get in most hotels. We ate at the Riad for 3 nights out of the 5, this suited us with a toddler. Mustafa made our son dinner for 6pm and ours at 8 after we'd put him to bed (the riad is small enough that you can see your room from where you eat and the baby monitor is within range). Food, breakfast and dinners were delicious. Nothing was too much for Mustafa who works incredibly hard all the time. Location was perfect - all attractions are within a 25/30 min walk, there is no need to get taxis anywhere. For kids there were nice parks, Harti Park, Cyber Park and the Koutoubia Mosque gardens all within a short walk which were nice to get out of the hustle and bustle. It's a 5 minute walk into the Medina/Souks.

    This place is amazing. Beautiful and well located. It's been one of the best experiences I've had travelling so far. Marieme is an amazing host and human being. She looked after me before and during my stay, making sure everything was ready and confortable for me. And what can I say about the service, I'm very thankful for all of them: Mustapha for the warm welcome, Mohammed for his kindness, recommendations and help throughout my trip, regardless of the time, and Rita, for always taking care of my room and for the delicious breakfast. Forever grateful for making me feel home. I will come back!
