Beautiful riad, central to everything but in a quiet part of the medina. Ben Salah is the nearest taxi drop off point a few minutes away, and Aziz met us at the taxi to lead us to the riad (after that first time, it was easy for us to navigate ourselves).
Breakfasts were delicious - traditional homemade Moroccan food (the cake was divine!).
Cute rooftop area with pool - a bit too cold to take a dip in it in mid April, but I imagine it's refreshing in the summer.
One evening we got a bit lost using Google maps after the medina walls closed, but Aziz helped navigate us via WhatsApp and we found our way safely back.
The staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Thank you!

The Ryad is down a dirty narrow alley which can't be reached by taxi or Tuk Tuk so heavy bags can be a problem. The Ryad has very little management with limited english so when available it was difficult to make your wishes known but mostly during the day only cleaning staff were availablw to let us in or to ask questions. The Ryad had no tourist information or maps or advice for tourists especially as GPS was generally difficult for getting around.On the final day we waited at the Ryad for several hours for a late night flight...as we had checked out of our rooms we were offered no refreshment and no use of toilets (other than staff toilets....not ideal) for 3 hours. Disappointing.

Really well maintained Riad with incredible staff! Located right in the middle of a busy riad so can be challenging to find at first. 10-12 minute walk the main square. Not a lot of taxi options immediately outside but you get the authentic ambiance of a riad and incredible staff. Thank you !

Honestly, loved this property and everyone that works there. The time I was there it felt like I was a part of their small family. Beautifully done interior and well taken care of, in terms of cleanliness that always made me feel like I was transported into another world as I stepped in.

My only issue was the location. It's deep inside the Medina. It's truly on me as I didn't research much before booking. Every time I wanted to go somewhere or get a cab I had to walk at least 10 mins to the Jemaa el-fna. It would've been fine only if it wasn't 40-degree weather me being 6 months pregnant. Also, the 10-minute walk is also not a nice walk either. It's a bit chaotic but nothing unexpected for Morocco.

I would say anyone who's considering this property, do your research properly about the location and if you are okay with walking.

The staff was incredibly helpful during our stay, especially Anas, who always offered Moroccan tea. Yacine provided excellent service even before arriving at the riad; he helped arrange transportation to our day trip to the Agafay desert and the airport. The traditional breakfast is incredibly delicious and from the shared spaces to the private rooms, the facility was comfortable and inviting. This riad is located in the Medina, making it feasible to walk around to the souks, the square, and numerous restaurants and rooftops during our stay. I highly recommend!

A unique stay as it coincided with the Morocco earthquake and most of one night was spent outdoors. Staff were solicitous of our safety and breakfast was served normally the next day. The property is in the heart of the souk and the alleyway approach was affected by rubble, which was promptly cleared within 3 days. The stylish decor, helpful staff and rooftop pool are all massive positives if you can cope with the hustle and bustle outside.

A perfect stay!

Just back from a great 4 nights stay here! We couldn’t fault anything. There was a small problem with our airport transfer but that was rectified quickly and because we arrived late into the airport a staff member came to meet us to walk from the taxi to the riad. The room was very comfortable and cleaned every day. Breakfast was varied each morning and was great to try some local foods including mint tea. The riad also has a small rooftop pool where we enjoyed cooling down at the end of a very warm day.
Anas, Aziz and Aziza (we hope we’ve got these names right) couldn’t have been more helpful. From calling restaurants for reservations, advising us on taxis and things to do in the local area and helping us get boarding passes printed etc they made our stay!

Honestly so amazing, the staff are wonderful and so helpful! The decor is beautiful and the beds are very comfortable. The housekeeper cleans the rooms everyday so once you get back for a day of exploring your bed in freshly made which was amazing. Breakfast is very simple but still very nice, I really enjoyed it all.

Amazing Ryadin the old medina. Definitely recommended! Anas and Aziz were amazing at fulfilling all our weird requests.

The breakfast we delicious and fresh every morning and if we wanted specific fruits Hind, the maid would head to the market and buy them for you as well.

The room was extremely clean and the beds were super comfortable. It’s in a decent location not far from the local markets and restaurants. Quite close to Jemaa El-Fna and the nearest place to get a taxi is only a 10 min walk from the Ryad.

Would definitely recommend this Ryad to anyone wanting to stay in Marrakesh.

Séjour parfait . Au cœur de la médina . Surprenant pour y accéder au premier abord mais très safe pourtant .
Le personnel a été fantastique surtout Anass . D’une grande gentillesse.

Le seul bémol si il devait y en avoir un c’est que dans un Riad dans les chambres cela manque de lumière car si vous ouvrez les fenêtres , vous avez le vis à vis sur les autres . Mais ça c’est pour tous les Riad .

Celui ci est clair et décoré avec beaucoup de goût .

El riad es muy bonito, disfrutamos sobretodo de la piscina en el terrado durante las horas de más calor. Sin embargo está situado en un callejón donde no llegan los taxis y tuvimos una mala experiencia con un grupo de chavales que nos siguieron hasta el alojamiento. El personal amable, nos ayudaron en todo lo que podían. Si que recomendamos que si vais en verano, aviséis al propietario para que encienda el aire acondicionado a primera hora de la mañana; nos dieron una de las habitaciones del piso de arriba del todo, llegamos por la tarde a 47 grados y las paredes quemaban tanto que el aire acondicionado no consiguió enfriar la habitación hasta el día siguiente

Un ottimo soggiorno

Il personale dell’albergo è molto accogliente e ha risposto ad ogni nostra esigenza: ci hanno organizzato il taxi per l’aeroporto, ci hanno offerto la colazione il primo giorno e concesso il check in prima del’orario previsto
Il Ryad è nel cuore della medina ma nonostante questo la location è estremamente silenziosa e la struttura è nuova e ben tenuta in ogni dettaglio

호객꾼이 다가오려고 하는데 마침 길에서 스텝을 만나 안전하고 편하게 숙소에 도착했습니다. 매우 깔끔하게 리모델링 되어있고 스텝도 친절하고 좋았습니다. 단지 호텔예약 홈페이지에 나와있는 시티텍스와 현지 스텝이 제시한 시티텍스 금액이 달라 의견을 조율하는데 끝이 나지 않고 시간도 오래 걸렸습니다. 그래서 결국은 내가 호텔스닷컴에 문의를 해야겠다고 결정한 후 끝낼 수 있었습니다. 그것 빼고는 위치도 좋고 시설도 좋고 친절하고 좋은 곳이었다.
