Fantastic staff. Very welcoming. Getting to the door was a bit of an adventure. Huge room with large bath and giant tub. Loads of hot water. Comfy bed and couch. Only issue is that sound absolutely travels due to the original nature of the doors. Other than that, absolutely perfect.

Staying at this riad must count as one of my most wonderful travel experiences. It is just beautiful, and the peace permeated my soul. The level of considerate service was insurpassable, way beyond the strict calls of duty. We had several dinners in the hotel and the food was superb. The breakfast was memorable - delicious, unique and traditional, and served to us on the balcony above the courtyard. I was expecting something unique. This is what we got, even above expectation.

The hospitality is top tier. All of the staff were amazing but Hassan is who we interacted with the most. He took care of all everything we needed and also made accommodations for us to make sure our stay in Marrakech went smoothly. If we ever return to Marrakech we would stay here again as we were treated like family.

We stayed at the property for four nights and truly enjoyed the attentive and kind staff. They were helpful when you needed them and wouldn't push their services, unlike a lot of businesses in Marrakesh. There is a great terrace on the top floor to enjoy the view when you are back from exploring. The only thing I recommend if you are booking this property is request their help with finding their property the first day since cars can't go inside the medina and drop you off a five-minute walk away from them. Google Maps will be confused. It can be them booking a special taxi who will walk you to the property or some other arrangement.

An oasis in the bustle
Once you find the Riad, which is like most tucked away in a little alley, you arrive at a beautiful oasis in the middle of bustle of the medina. The courtyard has a wonderful plunge pool and sunloungers on the top terrace. The beds were big and very comfortable. The staff were friendly, helpful and attentive. They offered to escort us to places so we didn’t get lost in the souks. They booked a balloon flight for us and supplied copious amounts of orange juice and water. It is a dry riad, so no alcohol served, but the food is great. The cous cous a must try.

We had a lovely stay at this beautiful Riad. It's been beautifully decorated and furnished. The staff were very welcoming especially Hassan who was so kind and helpful. The Riad is a bit difficult to find but we organised a taxi through Expedia /The Riad to drop us and Hassan met us and helped us with our bags when we arrived so we did not have to find it. The rooms are spacious and overlook the courtyard.It's quiet and safe as there is a security guard on in the evening which made us feel secure. We had no issues at all in the Medina. It was central location for shopping and well located.Recommended!!

Amazing, truly amazing hotel.
The term ‘an oasis in the desert’ is probably overused in Morocco, and maybe rarely used to describe a hotel, but that’s exactly what this hotel was.
We’d ended up driving through some incredibly busy and tight streets near the Medina so we’re super stressed by the time we arrived at the hotel, however, when we arrived we could not have been made to feel more at home especially by Hassan who was the most friendly helpful person we could imagine, nothing was too much trouble for him.
The hotel itself is stunning, quiet and comfortable, I will 100% be returning to spend longer there (we only had one night), everything about this place was special. Thank you so much.

We enjoyed our stay in this peaceful Riad. Hassan and Ahmed were very friendly and helpful. Very well located, lovely breakfast served on the roof terrace, traditional decor. Rooms need a bit of tlc but are comfortable and spacious. Although it’s down a long alley, there’s a security man who escorts you each night so we never felt unsafe. We did have a long wait for our prebooked airport transfer which wasn’t a great start, but Ramadan impacted timings we think. Still recommend doing the transfer because the area is quite challenging to navigate so we were grateful Hassan met us to guide us through the winding streets.

Not a sponsored review. Hands down one of the best places I have ever been, wished I stayed longer. Service, decor, cleanliness, roof top ✅
Hassan was amazing and accommodating, quick responses via WhatsApp. The riad is down a twisty alley, but there was a security guard outside to show me where to go. Definitely would come back.

Hotellet var betydligt enklare standard och mer slitet än vad som framgick av bilderna. Internet var nere och trots att vi var väldigt tydliga med att vi behövde sitta och jobba (och allt var i staden var stängt då vi kom fram en söndag kväll) så delade de inte med sig av de sim-kort det sedan visade sig att de använde när de skulle ta €4 betalt för skatten. Frukosten var medioker och rummen enormt lyhörda. Väldigt bra läge dock!
