"We chose this Riad based on the positive reviews and its location, hoping for an authentic Marrakesh experience, and on the whole it did not disappoint.
The property is full of character and charm, very clean, and the beds are comfortable.
The staff are kind and professional at all levels and speak both French and English, alongside other languages. Wi‑Fi is good throughout.
The location is perfect for exploring the souks—literally a five‑minute walk from the hustle and bustle, yet somehow wonderfully quiet.
Rooms
There are, I understand, eight guest rooms.
We stayed in the junior suites, which are situated off the dining hall on the ground floor, separated by a small seating area. Personally, we found them very dark and a little damp (there is a dehumidifier in one of the suites), although both have air conditioning. The lighting is poor, and the sleeping area is up a small curved stairwell. There is also the sound of flushing water from the rooms above. Based on our experience, we would recommend booking a senior suite or a double room if natural light is important—they are on a higher floor and feel brighter.
There is music playing in the dining area until around 10:30 pm, directly outside the suites. It wasn’t offensive, but it may bother some guests.
Food & Drink
Breakfast is served on the terrace, which is a lovely space. It’s a small, basic buffet, and they will make eggs on request—perfectly adequate.
Dinner is served both in the dining room and on the terrace. The food is well prepared and flavoursome, priced for the tourist market (££).
There is no view from the terrace, but it has a lovely atmosphere, and the bar offers a good choice of drinks, including very good cocktails. The waiters are efficient and charming. While we were there, the terrace opened for drinks at 16:30; you can sit there at any time, but there is no service before then. This may vary by season.
The terrace is accessed via a narrow stairwell, so as mentioned earlier, this is not ideal for guests with mobility issues.
Facilities
There is a small pool listed, which is in fact a jacuzzi situated in the dining hall. It adds to the traditional atmosphere, but it was not used during our stay.
Overall
We would recommend this well‑run, authentic establishment to friends and family and would happily return—though we would book a different room category next time."
