Riad Chergui

"I’m fortunate enough to travel the world for perspective. Initially, we were not impressed with this accommodation. Just looked a little bit run down, leaves around just missing initial presentation. We had the last room which was room five stairs up to our room had an old town and litter on them and the next day the room along the corridor was being renovated as were the stairs which made going past not the best experience. The room was clean, but the blanket on the bed for display was old as were the Bath robes which we didn’t wear but couldn’t help noticing that they looked like they wereover 10 years old! Towels weren't the best hit either. We had three black moths in our room and some mosquitoes which put us off considerably. HOWEVER- This Riad was definitely a grower … the breakfast was wonderful. The pool was cute and had a nice bar area although quiet when we were there as I think it was the beginning of the season as lots of maintenance work was ongoing around uswhich didn’t go down particularly well when I was snoozing! It’s cute this place, we saw the deluxe rooms and they looked lovely and I think our experience would’ve been much more positive. This Riad is very Moroccan and has the potential to be so much better so easily. As it’s a small property, I think it would’ve been nice for the owner to come and introduce himself and chat to us which over to much prefer doing rather than on here. The location is perfect. Down a few alleyways like most of them but very safe. We really liked the people of Morocco very friendly, not pushy. Even though this review is slightly negative I think that if the property had been ready completely for its guests and we have been in adifferent room then I probably would have said that it had the potential to return to."

"The owner at Riad Chergui is a real treasure. Her enthusiasm is infectious and she is a joy to talk with. She went out of her way to help us several times. The riad is lovely and the food very good. She had great recommendations of what to see in Marrakech and how to avoid the typical tourist downfalls. I felt she really cared about us and wanted us to have the best experience possible."

"This Riad was our perfect choice from the location, amenities, service and value point of view. Although it was rather cold and rainy during the our stay the staff made sure we had plenty of blankets and that the aircon is working on heating mode and we also had a small electric heater. On arrival we have been greeted with a traditional mint tea and local home made cakes. The room was spacious, although it had only very tall double doors we didn’t feel cheated about having no windows. It is a basic traditional authentic Riad with tiled floors, and high ceilings, it was very clean, the bedding was lovely and fresh towels every day. Nothing was too much for the staff, they were very accommodating, kind and always with the big smile , even when Morocco lost against Senegal in football. We would highly recommend this Riad and we would return for sure."
