The manager Hakim and the other workers were incredibly lovely. The riad is a beautiful spot in marakesh, we really enjoyed our stay

Helpful staff, especially Hakim, who gave us a good introduction to the medina using both a paper map and Maps.me. The riad itself is beautiful, with many antiques and a historic feel. The room was simply decorated and functional. Breakfast in the central courtyard of the riad was lovely. The airport pick-up was smooth, and using the shuttle was a good choice as the riad is in the medina where cars cannot access all streets. The driver waited patiently for our delayed flight, and Hakim met us nearby and helped transport our luggage to the riad. It would be difficult to find the location on our own as a first-time visitor.
At night it felt a little cool even with the AC on, and we needed to set it quite high (28c) and that makes it a bit noisy at times. Breakfast was the same during our stay and could be improved with some vegetables like cucumber and tomatoes, as well as seasonal local fruit such as tangerines. As with many riads, the rooms are not soundproof, but the atmosphere was quiet and we still slept well.

A beautiful and authentic riad steps away from Ben Youssef Madrasa. We loved being in the medina and walking distance from all the sights we wished to see, yet far enough away from the bustle to enjoy a peaceful stay. Hakim and the rest of the staff were very welcoming and helpful. The wifi worked great for some remote work (video calls, emails, uploading small files and video files).

This was a gem in Marrakech! The location was ideal, in the medina but slightly away from all the hustle. The staff was delightful and helped with every question, offered recommendations and suggestions. The pool was a treat in the summer heat, breakfast was delicious, and the bed was very comfortable. I’d highly recommend it!!

The riad is magical. Historic and spacious. The pool is breathtaking as is the courtyard. My room was the perfect size for me. And of course the furnishings were all beautiful. Plus the staff took great care of me.
The only thing to be aware of is that this is a historic property so you’ll be walking up steps rather than take an elevator, the doors and windows are older. But truly, nothing to complain about!

This is a stunning riad in a great location. If you take a taxi, you will only have to walk a couple of blocks, which is a great plus. The staff was friendly and very helpful. It felt like an oasis in a very busy city. Thank you for a great stay.

The Riad is genuinely a little Oasis in the middle of a very busy and bustling old town. As soon as you walk through the front door, the sound, the hustle and bustle of the Medina literally just disappears and you're surrounded by wonderful architecture, cool quiet hallways and staff that would do anything for you. Hakim, the manager, was as perfect and friendly a host that anyone could ask for and nothing was too much trouble for him and his staff. If you want to stay in the Medina, stay here. Its cool, clean and welcoming, with many little nooks and spaces for you to just hang out enjoy some culture or alone time.
It can be a little difficult to find, at first.

The riad was stunning. Very clean and the comfiest bed! We had a balcony which was lovely looking out into the courtyard. The breakfast was good too.
We were happy with everything. We organised collection to and fro. The airpirt, the staff went above and beyond. Our room was lovely, the riad is gorgeous. Perfect location.

We enjoyed a very comfortable four nights here. Hakim the manager was so welcoming and so helpful. All of the staff were so nice. The breakfast was substantial and served in the beautiful courtyard. The room was cleaned every day and the WiFi was very good. I would highly recommend this Riad and would definitely use it again when I visit Marrakesh

The host, Hakim, was very kind and professional. He welcomed me warmly, providing me with all the infomation I needed. Dining rooms, inside garden, the bed room and the bath room were all clean and cosy. There was a big bathtub, so I enjoyed taking a bath. I also liked breakfast, especially crepes. Because it is a riad, it might be a bit cold in the evening in the room, but it was okay after wearing an additional layer and turning on the air conditioner. The location was convenient too. There was a place where you can pick up a taxi nearby. Some local restaurants around the hotel were great.
Nothing.

Lovely breakfast, excellent staff, really beautiful building & different areas to sit.
The pool will be great in the spring and summer.
Little bit too far from the centre and the walk through the medina at night could feel dodgy to some.

Walking distance to the key sights and fantastic staff who provided fantastic recommendations - not super luxury but perfect for a short stay. The photos reflect the property well.

The riad is very traditional and the roof terrace a quiet escape from the business of the Menara.
It was hard to find and the alley leading to the riad is dark and had some building work going on.
We were made very welcome and given lots of insight into the area and attractions as well as things to avoid.
The breakfast was good and the pool looked gorgeous even if a bit too cold to use in December.
We enjoyed an afternoon snooze on sunbeds.
Would visit again.
The entrance alley could have a sign to indicate the riad is further down as the waiter from the nearby restaurant rescued us from walking past numerous times.

It is a beautiful historic riad with museum-like qualities. we had a brilliant time there, we loved the many 'lounge' areas inside and outside, the terraces, the tent, the pool, the library, we had a lovely seating area on the balcony outside our room. The room, bed & shower were great. The Moroccan breakfast was abundant and tasty. Hakim and the other staff were super friendly and helpful in every way. The location can not be better with the Ben Youssef Madrasa around the corner, several other sights within a minute walking, and the rest, like Jemaa el Fna, walkable in maybe 10 minutes. For anything else you easily find a taxi at 200 meters. Restaurants, bars and shops are also close by. Very very highly recommended!
Nothing at all.
