My partner and I visited early Aug. The service in the hotel is fantastic, you are made to feel very welcome from all staff members. The Riad is stunning very traditional and shows the true Moroccan culture throughout, you get a real sense of Morocco as opposed to a typical hotel. Breakfast was served fresh everyday and cleanliness is 10/10.Marrakech is beautiful lots of history, culture and places to see. Very humbling experience. However, customers must be made aware of some of the people within the villages who have a culture of continuously asking for tips and “luring” people into spending money unnecessarily. I feel in the future this will negatively impact the tourist trade in Morocco and sadly impact the hotels as a result. We had four bad experiences mainly in the Medina and the central square where all the locals continuously advise you to visit and state “it’s the last day for leather” for example. The leather was available the whole 7 days we visited. I personally were scammed into having some henna in the central square. With no authorisation the lady grabbed my hand quickly performed henna then demanded £90. The henna would have been no more than £10 in the UK. My partner and I had to literally run away. The ladies ran after us and made a ridiculous scene. They also wanted items from my bag ?! After experiencing this externally I recognised we felt very safe and was looked after at the Riad. I hope Morocco puts protocols in place for that kind of behaviour as I will not return for that reason only. I still believe the country is worth visiting, but feel people need to be aware of the situations that may occur.

I wanted to stay at a riad we were looking for a certain atmosphere. It was a great choice booking at this riad. The staff was friendly. We arrived later than expected the showed us our room and told us we can fill out paperwork in the morning. We didn’t know exactly where it was but people in the neighborhood are helpful and showed us where it was considering the gps doesn’t really work in the medina. The room had tile and Moroccan decor. You lock the room with a padlock and the lock slides not the quietest system but if you can get past that it’s worth it. The roof has multiple pools and places to sit so it’s a nice place to hangout at night.

The hotel was situated in the heart of the old city (the Medina). This meant that cars including taxis could not go to the door of the hotel and a porter had to be engaged (by our transfer company) to transport our bags. The hotel was clean and tastefully, traditionally, decorated. The room was good and food was excellent - no choice of evening meal (we went half board) but all courses were delicious and (as were breakfasts) plentiful. There were several different wifi networks to cover the whole hotel which ensured good coverage.The big, big plus was the staff. I cannot recall hotel staff who were more helpful anywhere. Cheerful and willing. For example, I carelessly dropped my phone in one of the two small pools at 10pm and needed rice to help dry it out (top tip: submerge your wet phone in a bag of rice to absorb moisture) so, after unsucessfully checking in the kitchen, the duty manager escorted me to a shop in the Kasbah to get some; BTW phone survived after 24 hours in the bag of rice.

A delightful small concern not far from the main square and transport links (train and buses), with kindly professional staff and a relaxed traditional atmosphere. It’s near several interesting museums and the local workmen’s shops if you’re looking for colourful souvenirs. The rugs and ceramics are particularly beautiful. There are several good restaurants nearby and a lot of local colour. It’s a quiet haven away from the frantic pace of local business life!
