There's no way around it, I LOVED Riad Kass from the first minute I stepped into this small hotel. Everybody here was genuinely kind, especially the two receptionists Houdaifa and the lovely Olaya (sorry for butchering your names, I lost my notebook). They made me feel so welcome every time I returned from the sweaty city. But absolutely everybody was courteous and kind!
At first, I wasn't too happy with my room since I asked for one with lots of light, but the Arabian decor quickly won me over. Another delight was the great breakfast in the courtyard. The courtyard is the stomping grounds of four well-behaved turtles as well - a touch I loved. Just don't step on them, please. That would be bad karma.
A small gripe is that I paid 22 Euros for the shuttle service from the airport to avoid infights with the local cab drivers. I was told somebody from the hotel would be waiting with a sign with the hotel's name. That was NOT the case. I waited for an hour for my pickup while the driver was waiting next to a sign with a long list of hotels - a list I couldn't see because a tour group was standing in front of it.
So, demand that the driver has a sign with your hotel or your name! (The driver was wonderful when we finally connected though)
So, don't get me wrong. I became a true fan of this hotel within the first 24 hours, and I bet you will love it, too unless you think you should have a TV in your room. You sure don't. The city of Marrakech is a great TV in itself!
