Had a lovely stay at this Riad with my wife. Beautiful setting and hidden away from the main street so really nice and quiet, too.The staff (especially Younes) dealt really well with a few small issues that occurred during our stay and went out of their way to support me and my pregnant wife. Would really recommend this Riad as a place to stay in Marrakech.

We had an unforgettable time in Marrakech! The staff is very friendly and more than helpful. The breakfast was a bit different every day, but always very tasty and in traditional Marrocan style. The rooms were clean and beautiful! The staff always gave us important tips and saved us from scams by the locals. One of the best tips we got was that in the souks, prices are usually set at five or even ten times the price. So we had good and fun negotiations and both sides were happy!We didn’t know what trips we should book, so we booked everything at the hotel and it was lovely! We would book this Riat again every time!A big thank you to all the staff! You made our trip unforgettable! It was a wonderful experience staying at your riat and the service was exceptional! We wish you only the best! Thank you so much!

We were amazed when we walked in at the beauty of this riad! The hosts were welcoming and we loved the mint tea at our arrival. Everything seemed very clean and it is in a great location to see sights near by. You won’t go wrong if you stay here!

The details here are so thought out! Everywhere you look you see a little touch of something special. We enjoyed our stay immensely and felt so rested after just one night. This place is close to a lot of shops, Le Jardin Secret, and the souks, but you don’t hear any noise from the rooms. The inner courtyard is breathtaking, and we felt an l around peaceful atmosphere. Jeber is very helpful and welcoming, and even took photos of us from the terrace! He answered all of our questions and drew a map of where to visit and the best routes to take. We definitely recommend this Riad for your next trip to Morocco!

Nice little Riad with only 10 rooms. Instagramable decor. Attentive and welcoming staff including the manager, front desk men and cleaning/cooking ladies. Good breakfasts that vary every morning. Safe haven from the Medina.Tips:1. Bring earplugs and eye masks. We can hear all the noises in the Medina and in the Riad; the curtains aren’t blackout. 2. Slightly difficult to find due to the location so good to book airport transfer in advance, especially for evening arrivals. 3. Two excellent restaurants just about 50 meters away. Dar Tazi - mid range and traditionally Moroccan. Le Foundouk - up market French/Moroccan fusion with a great terrace.4. If you shop at the corner shop down the road, make sure to count the change. 5. Be very careful of the usual tricks and scams in the neighbourhood, Medina and Marrakesh. Don’t be led to any tanneries/markets/festivals etc., and watch your back in the area. Riad staff were very helpful to provide advice, navigation, tips and private transport for safety.

An oasis of calm and tranquility in the bustling heart of the Medina in Marrakesh. Zacharia, Jabel and all the friendly staff go above and beyond to provide the best experience for your stay. Ideally located for shopping in the souks and visiting tourist sites around Marrakesh. The only reason for 4 stars is because space is a premium in the Medina and this is reflected in the size of the rooms but truly enjoyed the experience.

A very reasonably priced hotel. The hotel has the best staff who accommodated our needs (mostly needing water or directions). Breakfast was great every day and our dinner on our last night was superb on the roof (great price also). The location of the Riad isn't ideal as it's fairly hard to find and not in the best area, especially at night (we didn't have any real problems so no real reason to complain). The only real complaint was on Expedia there was a 3-bed option which I selected but we ended up with 1 double bed and 1 single (hardly the end of the world). Great Riad.

Best place for staying in the medina, not far from the centre. Really nice and familiar atmosphere, helping always if there is a problem. Breakfast is really good an the rooms are small but beaty and comfortable.

The stay was lovely, the staff was incredibly helpful and were able to organize anything. The gave us great advice as well. The place was even better than in the photos (also loved taking pictures here with my camera)! We had a Hammam and massage, which was an amazing experience. The location is great too, close to everything you’d need to visit within the Medina! Barely had to take a cab to anything. The place was very clean, the breakfast every morning was the best. I genuinely don’t have any point that I could imagine to be better.

Amazing riad - beautifully and tastefully decorated, with a lovely pool area, Breakfast is really nice, with Moroccan crepes, toast, fresh fruit, and tea and coffee. Rooms have aircon and are really nicely decorated. The riad is located close to La Maison de la Photographie, which has a fantastic rooftop terrace and serves really nice and decently priced meals. It is also 2 minutes away from Le Trou au Mur and Le Foundouk, 2 very nice restaurants. Loved being in the medina, perfect for exploring the souks. Staff all delightful and speak very good English and French. Keen to help assist during your stay - cound't say a bad word against this place!

Wonderful Riad, located perfectly for everything you want to see and do in Marrakech. At the same time, it is such a tranquil and peaceful place, where you forget you're so close to the bustling city.The staff was so helpful and friendly, they really made our stay even better. Thankyou for all your great tips about the city, kindness and good talks.The rooms are really nice as well and clean!The breakfast deserves a special mention, as it varied daily and was comprised of so many different things, including juice, fruit and baked goods.Simply put, we've had an amazing stay with you and can recommend it to anyone staying in Marrakech!

I travel a lot and this was one of the best hotel experiences I have ever had. (This is the first time I decided to write a review). My friend and I were looked after very well from the second we arrived till the moment we left. We received lots of tips from the staff. They helped us to choose and book the activities and gave us advice on money exchange, printing our boarding passes, tipping guidelines, things to see as well as things to avoid etc. They were always one step ahead and ensured that we were OK before we even asked. Very impressive! Big thanks to the entire team and special thanks to Mohamed who gave us such a warm welcome upon arrival.

Our first time going to Morocco and love this riad. The employees were very helpful, the room was very clean and the food was delicious. I will recommend getting in touch with them directly to arrange transportation since they are inside the medina which means no car/taxi can go inside. You can also order your meal ahead of time. And if you need tours you can asked them too.

This is a beautiful Riad with great dining, a fabulous breakfast, nice rooms, and quite close to the Souk. Undoubtedly the highlight is the staff - Abdul, Aziz, Mohammed and Elias went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and pleasant, offering tips and helping us with anything we needed. It's true that it is tricky to find if you don't have someone take you there the first time, but you quickly learn the way. We stayed for four nights, and I will definitely stay again on our next visit. Thank you!

We stayed there for 3 nights in total and we felt very comfortable here. The personal is super friendly and caring. The rooms are beautiful and the whole Riad is very stylishly furnished.Everything is very familiar. If you need tips for activities or something like this, don’t be afraid of asking the team. They are very helpfully. The Riad is also a good Basis for exploring the Medina because of its location. We will come back again!

The riad is beautiful, clean, has a great smell and delicious breakfast with fruits, bread, juice, omelette …The people who work there are really nice and helped us booking a guide tour, which I recommend it very much. The guy also came to pick us up in the Main Street where the taxi left us. Great experience!!

So first things first - you will NOT find this on your own. Google maps will not get you there (you will always be 7 mins walk away!) as it can't penetrate the maze of alleyways and your taxi or car will drop you about 300m away on the nearest road and with no signs to help you, you simply won't find it. So - get to the Photographic Museum (google will get you there & it is signed) then with the museum on your left walk about 20 steps up the road and on the right there is an alley with a sign saying Derb Lgassaba Lakbir, go down there at the bottom turn right then left and then the entrance is on the right. It is a minute away from the museum but will take you hours to find if you don't have a guide or the instructions above.Once found though, this is a pleasant place to stay. They are very helpful and the room is kept clean and beds made every day. About a 15 min walk from the square (or an hour depending on how much you wander!) and there are plenty of restaurants etc. nearby. Breakfast is served either on the roof terrace or by the small pool and varies every day. This was our first time in Marrakesh so I have nothing to compare it to, but it was very pleasant and we didn't have any real complaints.

We stayed for 5 days and had the best time. The Riad is beautiful, very clean and the staff is amazing. We loved the breakfast as well. It’s located right in the Medina, the main square is a 10-15 mins walk away. We booked a hotel transfer with the Riad so we had no problems finding it which can be a bit difficult with all the narrow streets. The staff is so nice and caring, they helped us with everything we needed. Very special thanks to Abdo who took the time to walk us to the square and gardens and also to Aziz and Mohammad. You can really tell these guys love their jobs. I also recommend booking a Hamam and Massage with the hotel so you know it’s safe and clean. The lady comes directly to the Riad and did a great job. You can also book a variety of tours with them but as first time visitors we decided to stay in town. I will recommend this Riad to all my friends traveling to Marrakech!
