Our host was amazing, helpful and friendly and the Riad was very clean, in a central location. Parking was in a paid secure area 5 minutes from the Riad.

We had 3 rooms in this riad for 2 nights. The locations was brilliant, a 5-10min walk to restaurants, stalls and monuments, yet a lot quieter than some riads we passed right next to the shopping squares.
The staff were very attentive. Moha took care of our airport transfer, arranged a tuk tuk ride and advised on a traditional buffet meal etc.

liked being in the central city. Had to walk quite a distance to Riad, taxi service not available in immediate area. Staff was accommodating to order a taxi and accompanied us to the taxi pick up stand.

I can’t understand why this Riad is rated by others as superb. I understand it is in the old town which was a great location but the Riad is tired and our room had a smell of drains. No ability to make a drink in our room or at the Riad. One owner said use the kitchen, the other told us off when we did. Breakfast only served at 9am which was when all of our tours started and we felt a nuance when we asked if we could have breakfast at 8am. The request was granted but the owner always seemed in a bad mood.
Beds with no mattress protection and dirty rugs.
It rather spoilt a birthday celebration.

Great Riad in Marrakech-Media
The Riad is well located in Medina in a quite street. The staff is super B and the roof top terrace is very pleasant. They arranged a transfer from the airport what made our arrival super easy and stress free. The room is comfortable, but our bathroom was very simple and small. The breakfast is good but we missed some protein options, it was only carbs based.

The property is lovely and exactly as it appears online. The rooms are small, but with good beds and linens, lots of hot water, and good functioning toilets and showers. The staff in this riad were amazing. Friendly, fun, accommodating, helpful. They assisted with arranging cabs/shuttles, and tour guides. The breakfasts were plentiful and tasty. The only downside if you happen to be a light sleeper is the before dawn salah (Islamic call to prayer) that blasts out over loudspeakers. Personally, I thought that was a small price to pay for staying actually inside the old city which was primarily what we had come to Marrakesh to see.

El lugar es muy bonito y está en plena Medina. El desayuno es realmente espectacular pero lo mejor el trato de “Moha” con nosotras.. nos hizo sentirnos como en casa y nos ayudó en todo lo posible. Sin duda volveremos. Además puedes contratar un montón de excursiones con ellos también . Súper recomendable. Muchas gracias Moha por tu hospitalidad con nosotras

J’ai détesté et je ne reviendrai jamais
Je n’ai pas du tout aimé. Pas de lit bébé à mon arrivée alors qu’on m’avait promis que j’en aurai un. Heureusement on m’a bricolé un lit. Aucune coordination entre mes échanges initiaux avec le propriétaire et le personnel qui n’était au courant de rien. Même de mon excursion que je voulais organiser. J’avais vu sur le site que le Riad proposait des massages sur place au final j’apprends que non. Ce qui n’est pas une information fiable et loyale sur le site qui induit clairement le client en erreur. On m’a dit que c’était une erreur du site donc c’est mensonger. Literie très très inconfortable dur comme de la pierre. On a pas fait le nettoyage de ma chambre un soir en m’indiquant qu’il fallait mettre une pancarte alors qu’on ne m’a pas informé de cette nécessité à l’arrivée. J’aurais pu être informée. J’ai le papa de mon bébé qui est venu nous visiter en journée il a été reçu comme un mal propre comme si il n’avait rien à faire la. Équipement chambre insatisfaisant très sommaire. Ça ne correspond pas aux photos. La Clim ne marche pas. J’ai eu chaud. Le petit déjeuner n’était pas bon. Pain élastique, café imbuvable. Ambiance de fétards pas du tout familiale, bruyant. A fuire avec un bébé. Alcool en vente. Étant musulmane si j’avais su je n’aurais pas choisi ce genre de Riad. Seul Point positif décoration de chambre. Le personnel a essayé de faire de son maximum pour se rattraper mais ça n’a pas suffit à me convaincre.

El alojamiento ha sido espectacular. Los desayunos abundantes y ricos. La habitación era amplia y se veía bastante limpia. Lo único malo a mi parecer era el camino a la Plaza y el no poder pedir ayuda en la calle porque todo lo intentan cobrar. Mucha gente intentando venderte cosas... agobia un poco pero bueno. Si vuelvo a Marrakech sin duda sería al mismo alojamiento, atienden todas las preguntas y te atienden como en casa. Ver el atardecer en la terraza o relajarte ahí arriba cuando el sol baja... espectacular
