Our stay was excellent. Please note that this is a guest house, not a hostel. Therefore, it is difficult to meet people. The low score in this category is not a negative reflection on the Riad, simply a reality of the type of accomadations we enjoyed.

I was visiting Marocco with a group of friends, our primary destination was the Atlas Mountains. We spent the first and the last day of our trip at the Riad. It is classically furnished, the rooms are clean and well kept, the bathrooms could use some work though. They organized the transport from the airport and served delicious tea when we arrived at the Riad. The meals served there were also delicious.

The hostel is owned by two frenchmen who are very nice and helpful. They gave us a map from the hostel to the main square (passing thru all the shops) so we wouldn't get lost. There is also free breakfast in the morning, which you can enjoy sitting on the terrace. I would definitely stay at this hostel when I go back to Marrakesh!!

It was like a little palace inside. The owners were extremely helpful in recommending day trips and venues, and they gave us a great map and explanation of the city.

Excellent breakfasts, very friendly helpful staff. Lovely rooms, excellent roof terrace, very good value. Convienient location but it is a little difficult ot find and you have to negotiate the souks every time you go anywhere. The area is quite a residential area with few tourists which has good and bad aspects - you get to really see marrakesh but all the locals seem to think you are lost and tell you so every time you go back to your accomodation. May not have felt comfortable as a woman on her own but was fine with another person. Choose the evening meal when you get there - yum!

Es muy recomendable si uno quiere estar alojado en un riad. La ubicación es muy buena, mas o menos a 15 cuadras de la plaza Plaza de Jamaa el Fna, esta dentro de la medina vieja. El personal del Hotel es muy amable y calido. Cumplieron con todos los servicios, incluyendo el tranfer que le solicitamos.

Everything! A taxi was waiting for us at the airport, arranged by Thierry- easy and convenient. Upon arrival we had tea with Thierry (moroccan tea= new weakness) we ended up chatting for an hour--- he gave us so much good advice and booked our camel ride and hammam for us. Our room was big, beautiful and authentic, the bathroom was clean and the shower hot! Breakfast was great, it was served on the terrace, coffee, the best orange juice ever, and traditional moroccan breads and pastries. honestly i couldn't have been happier. the area is safe, in the heart of the old town, you really get to see what life is like in marrakesh. AND we had to catch a 5am train and they still prepared us breakfast!! honestly, it was hard to leave, i loved it so much. Merci mille fois thierry!!!

Thierry and Thierry (the proprietors) are delightful, just incredibly warm and gracious. Our room, the riad's courtyard and the roof terrace were all great. It's impossibly hard to find, though. Get as close as you can and then pay a local kid 5 or 10 dirhams to take you the rest of the way.

The Riad itself was lovely although quite far out in the Medina and very difficult to find. We arranged for them to pick us up from the airport when we arrived which was very helpful. Would never have found it otherwise! The roof terrace is lovely as is the rest of the property but what really made our stay was the owners, Theirry and Thierry. They were fantastic! So friendly and helpful. They couldn't do enough for us and helped to organise our transport into the mountains with a very reliable driver. Thanks so much guys!

very friendly welcome, very clean, lovely decor. Nice roof terrace for sunny afternoons or breakfast. Could purchase good wine or beer (difficult in Marrakech). HOT SHOWERS!!! Felt like home!! Host was very generous with time and advice. Prepared an early breakfast on the day we had to leave early. Only slight downside is about 15 min walk from main square, but safe and easy. WOuld definately stay here when back in Marrakech and recommend to all travellers
