Nice Accomadation but a bit out of the Way
Tucked Away in the medina the rooms are clean and comfortable but. Staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast ok. Difficult to find on foot. You really need a Taxi.

Lovely riad
Lovely little riad and the most helpful staff we could ask for! Sat with is and showed us a map and how to get about. They made us dinner on the first night so we wouldn't have to wander the streets and it was an amazing tangine we were blown away with it. Best service we could ever ask for! If anyone goes make sure you go for a hammam scrub!

Worth the money
Staff are welcoming and quick to answer any questions you may have, supply maps and will arrange trips and advice on taxi fares. rooms very clean and were tidied every day, shower and shampoo supplied. Air conditioning works well, situated in the old town and a really good experience if like exploration and getting lost, tip staff point out local place to get out of cab and a straight forward walk to ryad. Staff warn you about young boys helping you and then asking for money however its not just young boys, men will ask you and appear helpful but watch out. It can feel harrassing constantly asking you if your lost, want to see spices ,leather etc, but i guess everyone has to make a living. In general everyone was friendly and smiling.

Disliked: Room comfort
WOULDNT RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE..
Firstly the hotel is in the old part of Marrakech making it difficult to get too and you defiantly need transport to get out of the old city, secondly there's only wifi on the bottom floor and not on the top floor. There is no tv in the rooms, the breakfast although being continental isn't the best, on top of that we were told we have to pay tourist tax which is fine if it was a few dirhams but not when its over 100 Dirhams! Staff were nice but unfortunately the hotel location is a huge let down...

6/10 Okay

Ok but far from the centre
The hotel is in the outskirts of the medina so you would need a taxi to go back at night. The room was lovely though and the staff helpful.

Pretty Riad in North Part of Town
I loved this little Riad. The staff and rooms were lovely. The small streets that all look the same led me to believe that I would get lost but I did not. Really enjoyed Marrakech and would recommend anyone to go to experience it.

Off the beaten track, great for urban explorers.
We enjoyed our stay here. Basic facilities, very clean and the staff were friendly. It's a little out of the way but once you get to grips with the Medina it's quite easy to find.
