Nice location, but was hard to find. I booked an room with twin bed and ac on expedia, but got an small room without ac. This was very hard to endure on the first day when it was 30 degrees. When asked to staff they told me all other rooms were booked for the first day, they offered me swap to other room, but that would be unneccesary because i had to leave late on the last day (2 day stay). Still strangely they asked me to pay for the water and printing (paper fly ticket). Overall decent location, with strange advertisement on expedia. Bit dissapointed.

Terrible experience—this hotel was apparently overbooked, so they sent us to another tiny hotel, charging us same high price. Credit card machine didn’t work and they demanded we pay the entire bill upfront in cash. Worst check-in experience I’ve ever had, this place is a complete rip-off. Now I’ll try to get some money back through Expedia.

Some of the outdoor furniture was shabby and outdoor space did not feel very relaxing. Nowhere to get a drink in the road - both would have been greatly appreciated after the hustle and bustle outside. Staff were very attentive and helpful, with service at breakfast and daily room cleaning deserving of a special mention. It was in the perfect location close to lots of restaurants. Not sure I would book the trips again as we were the only people in the groups!

It’s a 20 minute walk to Jemaa El Fnaa and 2 minute walk to Tinsmith Square. Google map doesn’t give the accurate location. It’s better to have the property pick you up.

Staying in this riad was such a unique experience and we loved our stay. Check-in was quick and easy and the staff was very friendly. The room was nice and clean and we really enjoyed the pool. It was pretty chilly, but we were visiting in August so it was a nice relief from the hot day. Breakfast in the morning was delicious. We also had our 8 year old with us and felt like this was a family friendly accomodation.

Way over expectations!
This place is an oasis in the centre of the ville and the staff is amazing! The property is located in the heart of Marrakesh, in the middle of busy small market streets, but once you are inside you feel completely isolated of this vibrant market. It is like entering an oasis in the middle of the dessert. Rooms are clean and nice, air condition, private bathroom. It includes a delicious breakfast in the terrace of the riad. But the best of all is the staff. Very friendly, helpful and honest. We left behind a small bag with souvenirs, called them, and they sent us the bag to Tangier where we picked it up two days later. It was an extra mile for us. Thank you for the amazing time
