26 September 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: staff fantastic, extremely helpful, no curfew, location is excellent if you want to be in the heart of the medina but a little hidden away from the immediate noise and activity. Because of this it is a bit difficult to find! but with a good map, its no problem, and once you get there you'll be fine. Safe neighbourhood and above all else, the best value for money riad that dosnt skimp on the luxury in Marrakech!Perfect introduction to Morocco

Liked: Charming rihad, close to the place Jem El Fna. The staff was great and helped in just about everything. Considering the prices of the other rihads this one is an enjoyable experience.

07 September 2009 SUSAN would recommend this property

Liked: The Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We arrived late into Marrakesh after our bus broke down and we were still met by friendly, smiling, helpful staff well after midnight. The Riad is amazing, brightly coloured and with a relaxed atmosphere. Rooms are spacious and comfortable. Location is excellent, within the walls of the Riad.

04 September 2009 Damian would recommend this property

Liked: Very central to the main square, which is why everyone goes to Marrakesh. lovely staff. A little difficult to find, the locals will show you to it but the 16 year old kids were quite aggressive at my £2 tip for taking me 100 metres, From the main street go under an arch which has a toilet under it, then its a simple first right first left and the riad is halfway down the narrow lane on the right, the door is very old looking and looks like a prison door of the 1600 period. opposite is a mosque.

31 July 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Gorgeous Riad! Really loved it, the rooms were lovely and the staff were too. Set in the medina, it was a little bit difficult to find at first but after that, no problems at all - and worth getting lost just to come back to have a swim in the pool! So quiet once we were inside, that we almost forget the hustle and bustle going on outside. Would definitely go back.

16 July 2009 Lachlan would recommend this property

Liked: The pool and roof terrace are great but the staff aren't really around much in case you have questions. No wifi but overall a great place to stay once you find it. You will probably need to pay a kid to show you the way.

03 July 2009 Lauren would recommend this property

Liked: The staff were so friendly and helpful! The location was perfect and beautiful! We felt very safe and secure the whole trip it's like a little oasis in the middle of business of Marrakech. And who can complain with waking up to freshly squeezed orange juice every morning! I will definitely be back!

29 June 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The location of the Riad is about a 7 min walk from Jemaa El Fnaa Square and is a bit tricky if locating it for the 1st time. Thankfully, we had airport transfers so arriving was handed very well by the Riad manager. Rooms were very clean / spacious and really brought out the Morroccan atmosphere.Would definately recommend this place onto others.

11 June 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: We loved our stay here. Clean spacious rooms, a real oasis in Marrakech. The owner/manager was super helpful and all in all it was terrific. Our one complaint was that we could not find a WiFi signal anywhere in the Riad despite reassurances that it was up and running. We found a WiFi place right down the street instead, but in room would have been considerably more helpful. This place has tons of local flair if that's what you're in the market for. Big thumbs up. Cheers.

02 June 2009 Meghann would recommend this property

Liked: This Riad was fantastic if you want somewhere away from the hustle and bustle (It won't be easy to find the first time!). The staff were great and generally just left you to your own devices, which isn't to everyone's liking. But I loved it. It is simple yet beautifully decorated and has a lot of charm. The breakfasts are lovely, but not over the top and the coffee and Mint tea just great. I can't fault the place and would happily recommend it to friends. In fact I rebooked the Riad for the last couple of nights we had in Marrakech!

17 February 2009 Will would recommend this property

Liked: Lovely peaceful place, great to retire to after the chaos of the main square (which is a 10min walk away). Yusef and Ayesha are very friendly and will bend over backwards to help you out. The price is excellent, some friends were staying in another riad which was of a similar standard and was three times the price, so it's great value. Nice rooftop terrace for listening to the muezzins and watching the sunset, and the whole riad is clean, tidy and safe. Free breakfast a bonus too. One point - it can be difficult to find first time, so an airport pickup is probably a good idea, but you'll get your bearings pretty fast. Thoroughly recommended and we will return next time we're in Marrakech :o) Will & Maya, London
