Nous avons passé un trÚs agréable séjour dans ce petit riad. Mustafa y a contribué par sa gentillesse et sa disponibilité. La chambre est confortable, ainsi que la literie. Les sanitaires sont un peu vieux, on a eu quelques petits problÚmes mais Mustafa y a remédié. La terrasse est trÚs agréable, la piscine est plutÎt une grande baignoire. Ce riad est trÚs bien placé, à 20 minutes de la place Jemaa et Fna. C'est vraiment dépaysant, et nous le conseillons fortement, plutÎt qu'un hÎtel. Le petit déjeuner est trÚs copieux, mais servi un peu tard à notre goût (à partir de 8h30)
Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2017

It's terrible noise and Chanting midnight, can't sleep!

6/10

The hotel is a traditional house in Medina , with very good position, you can reach all the tourist attractions on foot, and the railway station is only 2 kilometers away. It has a small yard, comfortable and well decorated,. The staff are very nice and helpful and the breakfasts are delicious. The only dissatisfaction was that our room is a little bit small, and the facilities are simple and old. If the owner can improve the facilities of the rooms, it will be a perfect hotel to stay in Marrakech.

Is impossible not get lost the first day to find the Riad BUT is part of the charming Medina. Yassin, the owner, is always there for you to guide to get a great experience of the city and help you for everything you need. The location is exceptional!! Not far from jemaa el fna and not far from gueliz.. you can make all city walking cos its in the middle of every place, during the day the neighbourhood it's a busy but nicely souk.. at the night convert in a quiet zone, it's safe walk through so no worries about that. The Riad have so lovely rooms, spacious and unique with decorations, a great breakfast and smile included every day. If you need to relax after a crazy day, the terrace is perfect. Why i choose this Riad first place? Well.. the location, the architectural details who transport me to other time and the service who gives. Why i could choose again this Riad? The location is excellent, the great environment you breed when you are in there, I repeat... The big smile every day, the good advice and the facilities. I have to be clear about this.. it's my experience and obviously not everyone could agree and that's OK. I loved it.

Hotel mal indiquĂ©, l'adresse indiquĂ©e ne permet pas de s'y rendre par soi mĂȘme sans l'aide des locaux. Veillez Ă  ne pas arriver en pleine nuit, le quartier n'est pas trĂšs bien frĂ©quentĂ©. Surfacturation de 15€ au moment de payer sans justification, soit 10% du prix de ma rĂ©servation tout de mĂȘme. Le Riad est mieux en photo qu'en vrai, pas luxueux, mais dĂ©corĂ©e "typique".

4/10

war 2015 auch dort und nun ist viel vergammelt, der Patron kĂŒmmert sich nicht ( neu seit 2015) keine Seife, kein Duschgel mehr auf dem Zimmer. Das Schlimmste waren viele, kleine Schwarze KĂ€fer im Bett! Es fiel mir auf, da es morgens lauter schwarze Punkte auf Kissen und dem Laken gab, das waren die Reste der von mir im Schlaf zerquetschten KĂ€fer oder Milben oder LĂ€use, keine Ahnung. Es wurde aber sofort reagiert und der Raum komplett desinfiziert, das war okay, Riads sind alt und das HausmĂ€dchen muss sensibler auf solche Flecken und Anzeichen agieren. Schade, es könnte ein tolles, kleines Riad sein, doch es fehlt die Sorgfalt und Liebe fĂŒr etwas Service, so kann man einem Gast nicht vermitteln, sich wohl zu fĂŒhlen. Der Inhaber ( kan dann persönlich) hat mir erzĂ€hlt, er hat noch 5 weitere Riads in Marrakech, vielleicht sind diese besser in Schuss.

I have stayed for 4 nights, I have enjoyed my time in the hotel. Staffs more welcoming and friendly. Internet connection is good, the only downside is their is no television anywhere.

8/10

Lo recomiendo por el servicio y las instalaciones. La Ășnica pega es que estĂĄ escondido. Se tardan unos 10 minutos a la plaza Jamaa el Fna.

6/10

La piscine est inexistante puisque c'est un bassin Ă  l'entrĂ©e, dans la rĂ©ception. La terrasse, mal entretenue, mais calme, sent l'urine de chat et est en permanence sale. Personne ne vient vider l'unique cendrier et les verres, ou autres ne sont jamais dĂ©-servi avant le lendemain. Prenez votre taxi par vous mĂȘme, l'aĂ©roport est Ă  15 mn du Riad, 150.- dirham pour ce trajet ça fait cher la commission pour le gĂ©rant..... Le jeune gĂ©rant, trĂšs sympathique somme toute, oublie de commander le taxi pour l'arrivĂ©e, oublie de commander le taxi pour le dĂ©part..... passe sa journĂ©e Ă  faire la sieste. Si vous souhaitez un petit dĂ©jeunĂ© avant 9 heure du matin, oubliez.....il dort. Oubliez aussi le cafĂ©, il est imbuvable. Les portes des chambres ne peuvent ĂȘtre fermĂ©es Ă  clĂ©. Le safe pour vos bijoux ou autre, est non fixĂ© et trĂšs lĂ©ger, autant dire inutile. Toutes les portes grincent, autant dire que vous savez quand vos voisins partent et rentrent....

8/10

Nette, versteckte Unterkunft in einer verwinkelte Gasse mit hilfsbereitem und freundlichen Personal. Zimmerwechsel war kein Problem. Empfehlenswert fĂŒr unkomplizierte Leute.

Riad Picolina was just what we wanted for our short break in Marrakesh. It was within the Medina and only a short walk from most of the main sites in the city such as Place Jemaa el-Fna and the Souks. Youssef was a fantastic host, so welcoming and always about to help or chat. The room was lovely and was always made up nicely when we returned from a day out exploring. Breakfast was included too which was a bonus! We would definitely return to Riad Picolina in the future, great value for money, friendly environment and wonderful staff :)

8/10

TrĂšs bon sĂ©jour, dans ce riad, niveau propretĂ© et accueil, c'Ă©tait impeccable, Riad trĂšs bien situĂ© .. Au niveau confort de la chambre des petites choses Ă  amĂ©liorer, pas de penderie dans la chambre ou je me trouvais, j'ai dĂ» accrocher mes vĂȘtements Ă  la tringle du rideau qui sĂ©pare la chambre de la salle de bain.. Pour le petit dĂ©jeuner, il Ă©tait bien, mais peut-ĂȘtre mettre des fruits et un vrai jus d'orange pressĂ©e, car je pense que celui que nous avons eu Ă©tait en bouteille.. Sinon, la gentillesse de Radidja et de Mounaim font oublier ces petits dĂ©tails...

8/10

Super séjour au Riad Picolina, exelent accueil. Mounaim, toujours disponible et prévenant. TrÚs bonne cuisine de Kadija. Riad de trÚs bonne qualité à 10 mn à pied de la place Jemma el Fnaa, dans un quartier calme. Exelent rapport qualité prix.

8/10

Ligging centraal en kamer goed voor een kort verblijf van 5 dagen. Personeel zeer vriendelijk. Ontbijt kon er mee door,was niet uitgebreid of bijzonder lekker. Enige minpunt was, dat er volgens de boekingssite transfer van en naar het vliegveld bij inbegrepen was, echter hebben we dit zelf moeten betalen. Het was ook niet mogelijk om je dit van tevoren te laten bevestigen, want er was geen mailadres. ik had een sms gestuurd waarop ik geen antwoord kreeg en toen ik belde zeiden ze aan de andere kant dat ze me niet verstonden vanwege een slechte verbinding en legden de hoorn op. Maar al met al was het toch een geslaagd verblijf.

8/10

Petit mais agréable riad. Petit déjeuner trÚs copieux, personnel aimable et accueillant. L'absence de télé est apaisant. Seul bémol : beaucoup de bruit le soir , absence d'intimité car on entend le moindre bruit ( éternuements, chasse d'eau tirée, ... !!!) .

10/10

We had a wonderful 5 day stay at Riad Picolina last month. The hotel staff, Mounem and Yousef, were so friendly and helpful and assisted us with booking tours and taxis. Mounem welcomed us the first evening with mint tea and gave us great suggestions of things to do and places to see in the city. The Riad itself is a calm, relaxing place to return to after a busy day out in the hustle and bustle of Marrakech. Breakfast is served after 9am, so it's nice if you like to sleep in and take your time in the mornings. Our best meal of our visit to Marrakech was a delicious tagine prepared by the chef at Riad Picolina so we would highly recommend arranging to have at least one meal here. The only downside was that the walls of the riad are quite thin so from our upstairs room we could hear other guests' voices when they'd return in the evenings.

10/10

great traditional place to stay in, both hosts Munim and Yousuf were great and very accommodating. Will definitely visit again.

8/10

Lovely hosts Yusuf and Munim. Great ambience in the hotel and the service was nice as well. Lovely places to visit, especially Atlas Mountains, quad biking and the Hammams and Spa.

8/10

Was expecting a hotel, discovered that a Riad is something more like a guest house. It's down a long alley, Derb something. Very difficult to find. Ask them to meet you at the airport. Dont ask kids the way because once they get you there they demand lots of money. Ask an adult, less likely to rip you off. Agree a price first. Once discovered, this place is a gem. In the heart f the Medina city. A traditional town house, only 5 bedrooms, take your meals on the rooftop terrace. excellent, traditional food. Enjoy Marrakesh !

4/10

This is a very very basic riad and I think people need to be prepared for that, also the street in which the Riad is located had sewage in it and it is not particularly friendly for walking through. The staff were nice.
