Very beautiful decoration. Made to feel welcome. Excellent location. Loved the roof top garden and being able to have breakfast up there, in the sun. The owner spoke fluent English and was most helpful and knowledgeable.

It is the best place I have ever stayed! Even before leaving I was planning how I could come back to Morrocco and stay here again. Everything was absoutely amazing. The quality of the rooms was fantastic. A peaceful, quiet, calm oasis, no TV, no phone, incredible relaxation and beauty.Our ensuite was bigger than some of the rooms we'd stayed in elsewhere. All the staff couldn't do enough to help, and were so friendly. Unlike many people, we got the chance to compare places by staying in a few different Riads (we loved the first place we were in, but nothing was available, so sadly had to find elsewhere - and we're so glad we did!). We liked it so much we sacrificed the deposit and booking fee we had paid elewhere on our expensive luxury last night jus so we could come back here. The location is great. Our first Riad took 2 hours to find, this one is so much easier, it is closer to the square, but so quiet, and not amongst the crazy maze of the souq area where so many others are. Majoub is a wonderful host, 1/2 morroccan and speaks briliant english (lived in US 20 years). Can't praise it enough.

This riad is an oasis in the middle of all the craziness of the medina in Marekesh. It has been restored beautifully and it was a complete pleasure to stay there. The staff are great and will help you where ever they can. The food prepared to your requirements is also amazing!!!

Decorated with traditional furniture and fixings. Rooms are all en-suite and are large. Breakfast was excellent with a variety of breads, honey, and jam. Very peaceful location, and we were given a very warm welcome.

The riad was an oasis of rest in the very busy city of Marrakech. It was nice to have a place to relax after visiting the bustling town centre. It was a very nice refurbished riad with great materials and a relaxing atmosphere. Breakfast was great but sometimes temperature in the dining room was not agreable as this was in open air. Great shadowy place in summer but in winter some heaters could help to make it comfortable. One evening we had dinner in the riad which was nice because of the company and the live music, but the price we paid was much higher than the average price for dinner in Marrakech.

The owners are friendly and helpful, especially for travelers who have never been to Morocco. They offer a variety of services to help you make the most of your stay, ie. day excursions, dinners, private tour guides, etc. The location was perfect...just a short walk to the center of everything, but quiet and cozy at night. We were a group of girls and felt very safe here. I highly recommend this hostel, and will stay here when I travel to Marrakech again.
