    Some points of attention; glasses and cutlery not always very clean. Cork in the wineglass and the waterpressure of the shower sometimes very low. An Egg, some cheese, and tea for breakfast would made it perfect, we missed this now.

    We loved our stay at Riad Pachavana last week. 3 nights in this beautifull Riad. The driver of the Riad has waited a long time for us at the airport due to the long Passport controls, and brought us to the riad, so nice. Our room for 3 persons (Onyx) was very big and beautifull, the (much needed) airco works very good and the wifi was perfect. The very cold swimming pool was great after a warm and hot time in the city. Drinks (soda, beer, wine) was available. When we were very tired after an early flight it was no problem to eat dinner in the Riad. There are several beautifull spots where you can relax and chill in the Riad. The staff is great, very friendly and nice to us and with our boy. When we departed very early the made an early breakfast for us, very nice. The location was perfect for us, a 10 minute walk to the medina and some nice restaurants (Le Jardin, Atay Café). Pikala Bikes, for great bicycle trips are around the corner. We would recommend Riad Pachavana to everybody and we will defenitely come back. With love from the Netherlands.

    Breakfast was good but essentially mostly sweet things -- you can ask for something else but doesn't seem that there would many other choices other than the eggs maybe.

    Very welcoming, responsive and accommodating staff. The place itself exceeded expectations - - lots of place to roam and relax. Hotel was fully booked and yet it felt quite and private. Location was good -- 10min walk to the heart of medina. Recommend to arrange trips with hotel as the service was excellent and safe. Quality of food and drinks was great and priced in line with restaurants in town or even slightly cheaper. Overall a truly great stay and would highly recommend.

    In some respects, the room / property was a little run down but this, in no way, spoiled the break and if anything added to the charm! Nothing to do with the property, but if this is your first trip to Marrakesh, ensure you are at the airport PLENTY of time before your return flight. We arrived approx 2 and a half hours before our flight time and barely made it with over 15 people missing our flight! This is down to a lot of queuing for each of the security aspects. Not a problem; just something to factor in!

    The Riad is beautiful. It is set within the medina and only a few hundred metres from the busy souks. However, behind the huge wooden entrance door, the property really is a haven of peace and tranquility, the perfect place to rest and recharge after visiting the incredible sights Marrakesh has to offer. It was so nice to be surrounded by bird song!There is a gentle informality about the place which is down to the fantastic staff team who make you feel like you are one of the family and that this is your home, whilst at the same time allowing you the space to relax and chill. Our room was spacious with a really nice shower room. We were on the first floor. Air conditioning worked well. Everything was very clean. The small pool is delightful. It was the perfect way to cool off during the heat of the day. (Whilst we were there, daytime temperatures got above 36 degrees!). The seating areas around the pool and on the roof top terrace allow for space to sit whatever the weather and staff were available to serve a glass of wine , beer or soft drinks when required. Breakfast was particularly lovely, served on the upstairs terrace. Khamissa and Ashraf were incredibly helpful; providing advice about places to visit, restaurants and travel information. Khamaissa is also a talented henna artist!

    I have to emphasize there wasn’t something we specifically didn’t like . We had a big r ice room which had an air conditioning in the hot days which was perfect. If I have to say something it would’ve we wished to have more storage place for the clothes coz we were a family of four. N may be a tv would have been nice. But this wasn’t a big deal breaker for us anyway

    The staff were the best thing about our whole stay in Marakesh. They were very accommodating, gave us tips even if how to deal with the locals , where are the places to visit etc. we came here during Ramadan and were fasting, they made sure that we have a delicious iftar every day. We can’t thank “khameesa” enough. She was amazing always attentive to every detail and was a great factor in enjoying our trip. The kids loved the little swimming pool. The place is quiet and we could reach every sightseeing we wanted like madras bin yousef, the souqs , main mosques on foot.

    The only thing to mention is that It would have been nice to have some tea/ coffee making facilities in the room.

    Recently stayed for 4 fabulous nights at the riad with my husband. Achraf was very helpful and the manager Khamissa was exceptional and gave us so much help with local knowledge and advice. She even personally decorated our bedroom for our anniversary! The room was comfortable and the breakfast was great. The weather wasn't kind to us so unfortunately we weren't able to make use of the loungers on the roof terrace but we will be back! The hairdryer broke and they replaced it straight away. Lovely toiletries and bath robes. Khamissa gave us a map and recommended an app to prevent us getting lost in the medina. It was in a great location, only 10/15 mins to the main part of the medina. They also arranged transport to and from the airport for us. We thoroughly recommend Riad Pachavava.

    Our experience was really great, we arrived in the late evening and we had dinner at the Riad (previously arranged). On the first day we wanted a private tour of the Medina and even if it was last minute they were able to organize it. On the same day once the got back to the Riad we found an amazing decoration for my birthday. I recommend this property!

    Room can become a bit musty but this is similar to most riads. When showering, open the window in the bathroom so the steam doesn't enter the bedroom.

    The staff were great, Khamissa was so helpful with answering questions even after our stay had ended. The place was great value for a one night stay and was close to main square, the taxi drove us nearby and someone assisted in meeting us there to help with our bags. It was where we stayed for our first night in morocco and made a great first impression. The place was clean and beds were comfortable. It was also SO quiet.

    Hotel is very deceiving from outside initially. Once we entered it, it was stunning , typical Moroccan style. Manager & staff couldn't do enough for us. They gave us a map and all the information we needed to enjoy our staff. So we was very grateful.

    Not knowing where the hotel was exactly located, wasn't in a desired location old town. As two females felt very vulnerable at night , going to and from the hotel. Down a dark passage , I would have never found it at nighttime. Taxi from the airport was useless, dumped us off, and said, Follow them guys they will show you. when he did, they tried to scam us for money, more than the cab fair from the airport £20, but we were not having it, told them to jog on. They said inappropriate sexual things , wasn't happy.

    You need to pay attention to your hot water consumption, you need to wait for ~ 15 mns for the water to get warm again after it runs out. The only negative thing, when we came we received tea and the cups were dirty with clear traces of someone’s lips and wet chewed cookies on the top of cup… However during breakfast everything was clean.

    The location is great, the Riad itself is beautiful and cosy. Very friendly staff.
