Not a true riad
Not a true riad...no garden, no open area to the roof, only a very small fountain in the eating area. There were no management members on premises and when I attempted to check out it took over 1 hour to straighten out a bill (with the help of Hotels.com) as I had already prepaid the entire stay but the workers there said I only paid a small deposit.

Nice hotel, clean and with good breakfast
This is a very pleasant hotel with an attractive atrium, a nice roof terrace, reasonable wifi connection and a good selection of breakfast food including fresh fruit salad, yoghurt, bread and pancakes or omelette. Staff are friendly and my room was nice with a good shower and a hairdryer.

A pleasant place to stay
The Riad is efficiently run and the service is friendly. It is located close to the Royal Palace and Kasbah Mosque making it convenient to find your way around the walled city.

The hotel was hard to find. The main door in on a very busy street and a very small sign. We did not get breakfast despite it being included

Hotel muy bien cuidado, cerca de la Kasbah
El hotel está situado en la Kasbah; se puede ir al centro a pie sin mayor problema. El personal es muy solícito y amable. Las instalaciones muy bien cuidadas y realmente agradables. Estuvimos en una habitación para tres, y no hubo problema ninguno. El desayuno, también muy bueno, con alguna variación cada día

만족스러움
친절한 스텝, 깨끗한 객실, 조용한 위치
마라케시 성내 외곽에 위치해 중심지에서 조금 멀긴 했지만
전반적으로 만족스러웠습니다

Een echte Marokkaanse Riad!
Prachtige Riad. De eigenaresse is heel aardig en kan je alles vertellen over Marrakech en de bezienswaardigheden. De ligging is prima! 5 minuten lopen van de Kasbah (naam van de wijk waar het Riad ook in ligt) en 15 minuten lopen van het Jemaa El Fna (het grote plein van Marrakech). Dit Riad is echt een aanrader!

Riad accogliente a pochi passi dalla Medina
Abbiamo soggiornato in tre in questo Riad che era molto accogliente e confortevole.
Ci è stata assegnata la suite ed era molto comoda.
Nora la "proprietaria" si è rivelata una persona molto disponibile a qualsiasi nostra necessità , abbiamo prenotato tramite llei l'escursione nel deserto ed l'hamman.
Riad adatto a tutti.

Très bien pour les petits budgets
Riad qui a un très bon rapport qualité-prix. Nous avions choisi de prendre le repas au Riad, il était très bon. La chambre était confortable et l'accueil agréable. Un petit bémol toutefois pour l'environnement car le Riad est situé sur une rue très bruyante. Mais cela ne nous a pas empêché de dormir et nous y retournerons si l'on doit à nouveau séjourner à Marrakech .
