Made welcome as if I was family

The staff could not have been more helpful. I arrived late after a long train journey from Tangier, was hungry and had gotten lost a bit. They made me supper, even though the kitchen was closed and even brought it up to my room. It’s like I was family. Also, they arranged for an airport transfer which had to be at 3:00, and the host got up at that hour to open the door and make sure I was well on my way.

Great service here, Aziz particularly was very helpful. However, a few extra charges here and there for no reason eg 22dh for a water bottle and additional tax on arrival despite paying online. Decent location, a bit of a walk and lots of the tourist attractions are near by, the only thing is that is it very difficult to first find the place and then to find a taxi nearby whilst there. Decent breakfast however could have more options as was served same thing everyday. Overall good stay for the low price that it is, can’t expect more.

The place itself was okay, but the location made things extremely difficult. It’s tucked away with two entrances, and none of the taxi drivers knew where it was—I constantly got lost and ended up being scammed by people who offered to “help” the drivers. It added a lot of unnecessary stress to my trip. They advertised a pool, but it turned out to be more of a small water hole—not what you’d expect. The owner also quoted me 100 MAD for a taxi, then suddenly changed it to 150 MAD, which felt dishonest and like a red flag. The air conditioning was poor—in the Marrakesh heat, the room never really cooled down and I was sweating through the night. Water pressure was mediocre. Overall, it wasn’t a comfortable stay. It’s also far from the city center, so you’ll end up spending a lot on taxis and wasting time navigating. It really put a damper on those days of my holiday. I would not recommend this place, especially for first-time visitors or those wanting convenience and comfort.

Liked: Cleanliness
Our stay at this riad was overall just okay, but there are a few things I really wish I had known before booking. The biggest issue was that guests are required to leave their room key at the front desk every time they go out. Staff is supposed to let you back in, but on multiple occasions we were left waiting outside for 20–30 minutes at night because they were asleep. As a group of three women in our 20s, this felt uncomfortable and honestly a bit scary—especially since the walk through the Medina to reach the riad is already quite dark and isolated. We were usually just coming back from dinner or shopping at the market, so it wasn’t unusually late. The breakfast was also underwhelming. Nothing terrible, but not memorable. Another thing to note: cigarette smoke is noticeable. It’s the first thing we smelled when entering, and as non-smokers it wasn’t the most pleasant welcome. We adjusted, but it’s something to consider if you’re sensitive to smoke. On the positive side, the staff was friendly enough, and the rooms were cleaned daily and kept tidy. Overall, the experience was fine—but because of the late-night access issue, I would personally look at other options next time.

Riad in posizione sufficientemente comoda, ma la nostra stanza era troppo piccola per 4 persone.In ogni riad c'è una piscina, utile per rinfrescarsi , viste anche le elevate temperature. In questo caso era in ristrutturazione e purtroppo non ci è stato detto al momento della prenotazione. .Colazione discreta,Trasferimenti da e per l'aeroporto possono essere forniti dalla struttura, ma risultano piuttosto costosi.Possibilita' di fruire dei pasti ma comunicando la necessità con largo anticipo.
