Super clean. Beautifully decorated with traditional Moroccan decor but with modern amenities. Our room size was abundant. The beds were comfortable. Our room was noisy bc the room we had had a lot of glass. Staff were very accommodating and hospitable. We had a driver waiting for us from the airport that was organized through the riad and they were fantastic. They waited for us a really long time for us to pass through security and customs. The included breakfasts were ok. Very basic continental breakfast. No eggs unless you order them and pay for it. The pool was nice for quick dip to cool off in (not heated) 2 nights is more than enough time to stay in the Medina. If you are looking for a Riad experience inside the Medina, I would recommend them.

When first contacting the property Asma arranged everything to ensure our proper arrival, she followed through from arrival, since the driver could only come through the road and there is little side walk she arranged for hotel staff to meet us. Adil was happily waiting for us, he was very kind throughout our stay and we were little sad we did not get a chance to say bye. Jalil was also amazing a very helpful, the whole staff gave us tips on how to have an enjoyable trip, safety tips since it was only me and my sister. We regretted having two bookings since would have loved to stay there for longer. It’s quiet and you really get to experience The true genuine of Moroccan culture, the staff goes above and beyond to ensure it. We will truly recommend anyone looking for a genuine and true family type of stay to book them. Place was impeccable clean, food delicious and fresh. The whole place decor is top notched. We pre booked a second stay with another location after this and Asma ensured we were shuttled properly with the second stay and someone could greet us since many Riads within the medina require walking, she arranged everything between driver and second Riad, even though she did not have to. In comparison with a 5 star Riad (Second booking) we cab truly say it’s not close to the service provided by this property, we felt they truly cared for us and we can see the difference with service. Do not think twice book this.

Thank you to Asme; for the amazing stay. Honestly everything was well executed all the way to a point when we had to leave. Honestly I miss the atmosphere. I miss the staff. I miss Jalil, he catered to all our needs. If you want a place that will make you not only feel safe but also help plan your trip in Marrakesh. This is the place to pick. I not only felt safe as two women traveling but; also felt like on a vacation. -Yullz

Amazing experience at the Riad! The team all the difference in our trip. They were so kind and keen to help at all times! Asma took great care of us and the whole staff was extremely helpful. The breakfast is brilliant and they change a little bit everyday for you to enjoy all the Moroccan flavours. Thanks for everything and definitely coming back! PS: We recommend getting the transfer from the airport, even more if you arriving after sunset. The narrow roads can be quite daunting for the first comers.

Amazing stay. Beautiful Riad in a great location - very near the main square and souks but very tranquil. Asma and her team an absolute delight and couldn’t do enough to ensure a pleasant stay. Arrived in the evening so had dinner in the Riad - traditional Moroccan food - reasonably priced and wine available if desired. Breakfast was fab and an excellent start to hectic days in the square and souks. Looking forward to returning in the future ........
