This was a great place to land. I came in after midnight and they arranged for me to have a driver and awaited my arrival. I also have to work late the next day and the breakfast was wonderful and they arranged for me to have a private dinner in the evening after my last meeting online. Everything was great.

Made welcome as if I was family

The staff could not have been more helpful. I arrived late after a long train journey from Tangier, was hungry and had gotten lost a bit. They made me supper, even though the kitchen was closed and even brought it up to my room. It’s like I was family. Also, they arranged for an airport transfer which had to be at 3:00, and the host got up at that hour to open the door and make sure I was well on my way.

Great service here, Aziz particularly was very helpful. However, a few extra charges here and there for no reason eg 22dh for a water bottle and additional tax on arrival despite paying online. Decent location, a bit of a walk and lots of the tourist attractions are near by, the only thing is that is it very difficult to first find the place and then to find a taxi nearby whilst there. Decent breakfast however could have more options as was served same thing everyday. Overall good stay for the low price that it is, can’t expect more.

Our stay at this riad was overall just okay, but there are a few things I really wish I had known before booking. The biggest issue was that guests are required to leave their room key at the front desk every time they go out. Staff is supposed to let you back in, but on multiple occasions we were left waiting outside for 20–30 minutes at night because they were asleep. As a group of three women in our 20s, this felt uncomfortable and honestly a bit scary—especially since the walk through the Medina to reach the riad is already quite dark and isolated. We were usually just coming back from dinner or shopping at the market, so it wasn’t unusually late. The breakfast was also underwhelming. Nothing terrible, but not memorable. Another thing to note: cigarette smoke is noticeable. It’s the first thing we smelled when entering, and as non-smokers it wasn’t the most pleasant welcome. We adjusted, but it’s something to consider if you’re sensitive to smoke. On the positive side, the staff was friendly enough, and the rooms were cleaned daily and kept tidy. Overall, the experience was fine—but because of the late-night access issue, I would personally look at other options next time.

Breakfast was only served from 8:30 am-10:30am, so I didn’t get a chance to eat breakfast everyday, because my tours were booked and pick up time was 8 am. Rooms were clean although they were small, wifi was available. Close to Kasbah you can walk, but it’s not safe in the night if you’re alone.

This riad was absolutely excellent. Aziz was a wonderful host who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. We travelled with two children and, as it was our first time in Morocco, we didn’t quite know what to expect. In the end, our concerns were completely unfounded. The room was spacious, with two single beds and one queen-sized bed. This wasn’t entirely clear from the description, but it worked perfectly for our needs. The breakfast was simple but very good, and more than enough to keep us going through the first part of the day. We also arranged an airport transfer through the riad, and the driver was waiting for us in the arrivals area, which made everything very easy. The location is ideal—within walking distance of the medina, yet far enough from the busiest areas to enjoy some peace and quiet. There is some noise coming from the road outside but it did not bother us much and kids slept well. The room was clean and comfortable throughout our stay. I would definitely recommend this riad and hope to return in the future.

Our driver dropped us off in the middle of a sketchy are an and said “here you are, bye!” We have only stayed in hotels over our traveling years, ever. As we walked to the Riad, there was even a man who went up to my wife and touched her. I felt so on guard and I knocked his hand away and was on defcon 3 paranoia. Once we found where we were going, a man came out and showed us where we were staying. I walked into …. Paradise. The man, whose name is Aziz, took us into the Riad and welcomed us. This man is the most calm and charismatic person in the world. He could tell I was defensive and even his aura just made me much calmer. He brought us to our room and said we could talk about passports and money later. He was so laid back! The room was AMAZING!!! I’ve never been to a Riad and now I will specifically look for them from now on! We loved every moment we were there! Once we got settled I was 20 durhams light (we don’t carry cash, especially locally) and he paid for it himself. We had been dropped off at the wrong entrance and it was like being dropped off behind a restaurant- of course it’s not the same as the front. He even made me a map! I found some USD the next day and gave it to the front desk girl and she had the same peaceful energy he did. She is in the picture with us. Please stay at this WONDERFUL AND MAGICAL place! 20 stars! A life changing experience from the room, the breakfast, the people and the feng shui setup. Thank you!!!!!

The place itself was okay, but the location made things extremely difficult. It’s tucked away with two entrances, and none of the taxi drivers knew where it was—I constantly got lost and ended up being scammed by people who offered to “help” the drivers. It added a lot of unnecessary stress to my trip. They advertised a pool, but it turned out to be more of a small water hole—not what you’d expect. The owner also quoted me 100 MAD for a taxi, then suddenly changed it to 150 MAD, which felt dishonest and like a red flag. The air conditioning was poor—in the Marrakesh heat, the room never really cooled down and I was sweating through the night. Water pressure was mediocre. Overall, it wasn’t a comfortable stay. It’s also far from the city center, so you’ll end up spending a lot on taxis and wasting time navigating. It really put a damper on those days of my holiday. I would not recommend this place, especially for first-time visitors or those wanting convenience and comfort.
