Everything was very good, staff, food, location.
Riad listed a jacuzzi that we were unable to use solely due to lack of communication on the riad side. Basically we got three evenings ruined because we couldn't use the jacuzzi. Wish we could've used that time to schedule something else instead of hoping the jacuzzi water will warm up. To summarize it, that was quite a bitter experience.

All of the staff were welcoming and friendly. The location is perfect to enjoy the markets and culture of Marrakech. The staff went out of there way to help us with tours and restaurants. The breakfast was very good.

The breakfast was wonderful. The staff person Navida. Sorry about Spelling. ,was over the top helpful and wonderful. She was there everyday making breakfast helping us. Setting up tours , being so helpful. The house is beautiful.
The beds are way too hard. Being an American I am not use to that. I folded a nice thick padded blanket up and slept on top of that. I was much more comfortable. Not everyone felt that way. My friend find it ok. The area was crowded and unfamiliar so we always had a guide. The hotel helped with that. Very helpful

We had such a lovely stay at this Riad! The staff were super friendly and always made an effort to ask how our day was going and share little tips and recommendations. It was my partner’s birthday, and they surprised us by decorating the room with balloons, candles, and even a small cake waiting for us when we arrived, it was such a sweet and thoughtful touch! There was also a really friendly cat that hung around the patio, which we loved. The room itself was exactly what I expected, comfortable and perfect for our stay. We also booked the Hammam/Spa, and wow, it was amazing. I was so relaxed afterward I actually had to lie down for 20 minutes just to feel normal again! The location is great, just a short walk from Café de France. The street to the Riad is full of sandwich stalls and local shops. It felt a bit overwhelming at night, but honestly, it’s all part of the Marrakech experience. Overall, I’m really happy we chose this place. Would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting!

Very beautiful Riad, right in the center of the Medina. Cars do not reach. But the hotel will arrange luggage send to your door.

I loved this place from the moment I booked. I was here for one night only but I managed to do everything available in the Riad and it was so worth the stay. I booked the roof top dinner when I booked and the dinner was so good, some of the best I had while I was out there. The spa was heaven sent. It was a little expensive for the area but the quality of the experience was amazing. The rooms are beautiful and so clean. They decorated them beautifully
There’s a lot of stairs and the bed could’ve been a little nicer

Nothing at all
So we had major issues at this location and it started with the booking. We thought we were booking at a larger riad with a private villa type. But once booked we were told it was a 3 min walk to the one we booked. We asked to clarify if we would have an agent or front desk or security at our location since the reviews mentioned people felt safe by the 24 hour attendant (but that was only at the larger riad). Expressed concerns about safety and asked them to send video of walk or outside the riad. They said it was safe but did not send video. When we got there, we had some guy collect our bags and then proceeded on a 15 min walk to RIAD. Have videos and all and it was terrible as far as the area, wife and kids did not feel safe. Since it was late we would try to give it a shot. When we toured our riad, found out one room was outside on its own and not inside the main house but on the patio. Also that room door would not close all the way. Kitchen was stocked with meat and other items and we are vegetarian. We did not feel comfortable using any of it. But the main kicker was none of slept the first night due to crickets inside the RIAD that were loud and wouldn’t stop. We sent them a message in the middle of the night and they said they would try to address the next day. For the amount that we paid we expected so much better. The next morning we booked a hotel (Le meridien) and moved there. This was horrible and false advertising on the booking on where we would be, and i wasn’t going to keep my kids in a place that just didn’t feel safe at all! They attached some random house onto their hotel like riad but don’t tell you that till you pay the non refundable amount. This place ruined our visit to Marrakech. We have videos and pictures of everything and we can send them all if you like, also can provide the reservation of the hotel we moved to which was actually amazing to stay at.

Riad felt like a 5-star hotel. Clean, spacious and luxurious. Staff was knowledgeable and friendly. Location was a few minutes of a walk to the medina.

The staff were great and very responsive. Every single staff member was extraordinarily kind. The rooms are very nice and quiet. You can see a great sunset and the Atlas Mountains from the roof, too. The breakfast was very good. Fresh pastries, I let tea, and coffee every morning made us very spoiled. The location is very central. While it’s really in the thick of the main pedestrian thoroughfare, once you arrive it’s like an oasis.
There’s a cat (not Mimi, the hotel’s cat) that bothered us at breakfast every morning. It has a huge gash on its face that made breakfast kind of unpleasant on the roof where breakfast is served. This cat also went to the toilet on the rooftop couches. When we complained about this, the staff were very apologetic and promised that the cat would be gone in a week. This cat has apparently been notorious for being disruptive. We also selected the hotel for the jacuzzi but it was kept at a temperature that made it like going into a lukewarm pool. We asked for the temperature to be increased but this was met with hesitation as apparently there are customers who want the jacuzzi at a cool temperature. This seems to go against the point of having a jacuzzi.

Hamou was exceptional. He spent 20 minutes going through our location along with things to do, he couldn't not have been more helpful. Breakfast was large and delicious. Our room was clean and spacious. Would recommend booking someone to guide you to the Riad or an esim for Google maps as taxis cannot reach the Riad. The roof terrace is surprisingly peaceful given it's location in the centre of the medina. The ladies in the spa are very friendly. Would absolutely stay here again.
Mattress was very hard, our room also faced the call to prayer speaker, would recommend earplugs.

The staff was super friendly and looked after us for all our stay. The place was beautiful, clean and spacious! We also did the hammam & massage experience which was great.
The fact that our room was detached from the main building and we had to go outside also to reach one of of the rooms - but we were unlucky with the weather, I am sure in summer it’s fine!
