It was a very nice and cozy riad. Elias and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. They served a traditional Moroccan breakfast, which was delicious and had a nice variety. I also really liked the location of the riad – it’s right in the medina where there’s a lot going on, but as soon as you step inside, it feels calm and peaceful.

Cozy, family run riad

While perhaps not the most swanky or modern hotels, this family run riad was the most welcoming of the hotels we stayed at in Marrakech, with more of a B&B vibe than a traditional hotel. If you are looking for comfortable, fuss free base to explore Marrakech from, this is ideal. Caveat: the room doors were not the most secure and there is no safe in the room, but there are so few guests, and the riad is constantly manned with the front door locked, so we didn't feel that security was an issue.

Would definitely recommend for an authentic visit to Marrakesh. A friendly and very welcoming manager. Breakfast was fresh and good quality, although basic choices. Good roof top on 2 levels. Communal space on ground floor in shade. Room clean, comfortable and rustic. Located in the heart of the Medina so you cannot get a taxi to the door. As 2 female travellers we found it quite daunting arriving at night in the rain when the alleys are empty and you don't know where you are going - looked much less intimidating during the day.

Great location in the heart of the old town (Medina) area of Marrakesh. Easy walk to the Souks and lots of the nearby attractions. The old town is a bit of a maze, but google maps led me right to the alley leading to the Riad. Riad was beautiful inside - a nice calm respite from the busy world all around. Very kind and helpful staff. Breakfast was enjoyable. Would absolutely stay here again.

Very well centred riad in the heart of Marrakech. The riad is located quite close to most of the city attractions and can be easily reached via foot. The host/staff, everyone was very lovely and welcoming. The owner gave us tips on how to get around and to avoid getting scammed which helped us since it was our first time visiting Marrakech. Overall very pleasant stay, sad to be back to reality 😭😭

Welcoming Riad, in the middle of Medina. Quiet somehow. Not easy taxi access, so we did walk with our luggages through the medina. Walking distance to souk and bahia palace, and all the other attractions. We stayed only one night, but i would recommend if you want to have a flavour of the old medina.

We could not recommend this as a place to stay - Great location and was easy to walk around, close the food restaurants. loved that we could decide when we have breakfast! Also as a VIP we were offered a traditional hammam, which was lovely and the massage which was paid for, as one of the best I have had! The Hotel manager was personable and was approachable and catered to our needs.

Magigal place with beautiful tram

Our stay was great from start to finish. Elias welcomed us with tea and made sure we started to relax straight away. We had questions, he had the answers.we had just to say what we needed and he organised it for us. I also highly recommend the hammam and massage provided in the property. The 2 ladies who looked after us with breakfast were so lovely 😍 Oh and the dinner we had at the property was the best Tajine 👌 in all 7 days in Marrakesh. I would highly recommend a stay with Elias and the team.

This Riad is a piece of paradise in this crazy world. Once you step through the beautiful front door, a beautiful, quiet oasis awaits you. Hosted by Said and his wife Majda, who will make you a wonderful traditional lunch or dinner upon request. This Riad is like an English B&B but in another world. Authentic Morrocan, quiet, great service, and a nice breakfast. Nothing was too much trouble for Mr. Said, he is a great host. We hope to come back.

Cute little find in the heart of Morocco! I've never stayed at a riad before, but the hosts were super welcoming and accommodating. The only downside of the stay was the bathroom. The water kept fluctuating from super hot (I burned my hands when washing them once) and super cold when I showered. The water pressure was also really low which made it a bit difficult to shower but other than that, it was a great place and beautiful! The location was a bit alarming at first but we ended up feeling super safe!
