    nice staff
    great location
    amazing breakfast
    dark rooms
    bathroom issues

    the riad was super charming with amazing staff that treated us like fam! the breakfast on the rooftop was out of this world, with fresh flatbreads and egg tagine that i can't stop thinkin about. the location is great too, just a short walk to all the market fun. pools are nice to relax by, and the vibe of the whole place is just so chill. loved that the staff were always there to help!

    the rooms were a bit dark sometimes and there was some confusion with the room type when we arrived. also, water sprayed everywhere in the bathroom during showers which was kinda annoying.

    friendly staff
    claustrophobic room

    A peaceful retreat in chaos

    Nestled in the heart of the Medina, this Riad is a hidden gem. The friendly staff made us feel right at home, and the rooftop breakfast was unforgettable. Each morning, we enjoyed warm flatbreads and the best orange juice while soaking in the stunning views of the bustling market below.

    Our room lacked adequate lighting and ventilation, making it feel a bit claustrophobic at times. navigating through the maze-like streets to reach the Riad was initially overwhelming, which added a hint of stress to our arrival.

    warm hospitality
    rooftop breakfast

    It was a commendable fit for a weekend excursion in Marrakesh with excellent value for money. The staff made us feel right at home with their warm hospitality, especially during breakfast on the rooftop where they served freshly squeezed orange juice. Remember to bring comfortable shoes for exploring the nearby alleyways easily.

    The stay was lovely, especially the breakfast served on the rooftop terrace, where the egg tagine stood out with its fresh ingredients.

    Cozy oasis in the heart of the city

    We had a lovely stay! The rooftop breakfast was such a treat, with fresh flatbreads and an incredible egg tagine. The staff treated us like family. so helpful and caring! The only hiccup was the bathroom design—water went everywhere during showers. Still, we loved the comfy room and relaxing by the pool!

    Navigating to the hotel can be a challenge, as the exact location isn't clearly marked, requiring a 5-10 minute walk through narrow pedestrian streets filled with mopeds and bikes. it can be quite the shock after the taxi drop-off. bathrooms lack shower curtains, so water tends to spray everywhere during showers, which might not bother everyone but could be an annoyance. The noise from the entrance doorbell and foot traffic can be heard in some rooms, though things quiet down after hours.

    poor communication
    unreliable wi-fi
    room change

    I had a warm welcome from the staff, who went out of their way to ensure a pleasant experience. The rooms were clean and offered a cozy ambiance. communication regarding the room change was lacking, and the Wi-Fi connectivity could be improved in certain areas. Still, the food was excellent, particularly the local dishes prepared each evening.

    limited accessibility
    narrow pathways

    The beautiful interior decoration combined with the charming roof terrace made for a stunning atmosphere. The cozy seating arrangements on the terraces provided ample space for relaxation, allowing me to enjoy the peaceful ambiance in the heart of the Medina.

    Accessibility to certain areas could be better.
