The host and staff are incredibly friendly and helpful.The property like many Riads in the Medina is a little tricky to find at first. But, the location is very close to all the things you want to see. I'd happily stay again.

Marrakech trip

Enlightening trip to Marrakech. Authentic accommodation. Filling breakfast. Able to walk to lots of places, hence good location.

Probably a typical Riad along a few alleyways. Set as 2 separate houses. Everything was basic but ok. Staff attentive and pleasant. Breakfast a mixture of cakes and batter-based pancakes plus small yogurt and sweet mint tea and coffee. Overall perfectly ok. We would next time (hypothetical only because we wouldn’t ever go back to Marrakech. Constant hassle and deceptive behaviour towards the “cash cow” tourists by most people you meet) spend more on a modern hotel because if we could afford it.

People are very friendly. Riad is cold - we had to eat breakfast in our coats (it's the same every day) rooms very dated and old. Lack of hot water. Impossible to park near riad. Iwouldn't return.

I would stay here again

Initially, I thought it too far from the main square, but we found our way to everywhere we wanted to go..,thank you Google. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The tasty breakfast was very good. Wear good walking shoes in Marrakech and be sure to listen, as the alleys are used by pedestrians, motor bikes, donkey carts, etc. It’s a great city!

Excellent Hospitality

The staff at La Rose couldn't have been nicer. They were genuinely friendly and kind, and did all possible to ensure that I was comfortable. I would be glad to stay there again.

Really Welcoming

Youseff and his staff make you feel so welcome and offer you support to make the most of your time in Marrakech. Good trips on offer and there are well organised. I would suggest booking the taxi from the airport shich whilst maybe a little more expensive it will get you to the Riad first time. Not easy to find the Riad if you just turn up in Marrakech.

A nice Riad in a perfect location.

A nice Riad in a perfect location. Only 10 minutes walk to the main square and about the same to the Souks. The staff were very friendly and they arranged a transfer for us from the airport which was brilliant.

I have two bad comments. The first would be noise from other guests which woke us up regularly. Whilst this is not the fault of the hotel, more can be done to encourage guests to be quiet. The second was the smell of damp in the bathroom which was not pleasant.

Breakfast was nice and there was a slight variance every day with plenty of coffee and mint tea on offer as well as freshly squeezed orange juice.

For a short stay, this Riad is great. Prime location, friendly staff and at the right price.

A fascinating experience

Im am pleased beyond word with my stay in this hotel in the middle of the Marrakech community. I could not think of any better place to stay when coming back here. It feels like you're a part of Marrakech, instead of a visitor. The people in this hotel are incredibly attentive and nice, the food is amazing and is not expensive. The rooms have everything you could need.I am certainly coming back soon and this is the place im coming back to. Thank you Youssef and all the staff for the amazing time we spent with you.

Riad in Marrakech away from all the busyness

Youssef and all the staff were quite helpful and respectful. Nothing was ever a burden. We stayed on the blue riad, it is true, you can hear the adhan, but that is normal, being that it is a Muslim country.
It looks like a typical morrocan house with little garden inside , it was very pretty and clean. Towels were changed everyday, rooms cleaned everyday. Our room was a decent size, and wifi connection was okay.
It can be quite cool in the evening, but nothing that an extra duvet will not solve.

Breakfast was a trio of breads, morrocan mint tea, coffee, fresh orange juice and trio of spreads.

The Riad is quite hard to find at first, we booked a transfer from the airport with youssef, but once you locate the palace dar el pasha it's easy to get to.

We chose to have dinner at the riad twice during our stay (it has supplementary cost), and the three meal course was divine. I personally recommend the chicken tagine with lemon and olives.
Next time in Marrakech I will stay here!

Great riad in the heart of Medina

I usually don't write reviews but for this guys I have to. Excellent stay. Great riad in the heart of Medina. Friendly staff, clean rooms, tasty breakfast and great value for money. In our trip to Marrakech we stayed in two different riads and the other one was nowhere close to this one. Don't look any further. Thanks guys.

Nous avons loué la chambre pour 6 nuit. Nous avons pris la navette de l'aéroport aller / retour pour 35€ (tarif moyen haut) avec l'avantage d'être déposé au Riad. Vu l'exactitude de Google maps, ce n'est pas rien et ça se paye. Dîner à 17€ avec salade en entrée, tajine poulet citron (4 gros morceaux de poulet) et salade de fruit en dessert. C'est le prix moyen pour un menu. On peut facilement trouver moins cher, mais en arrivant de l'aéroport à midi, c'est un avantage lorsque c'est la première fois que l'on arrive. Les petits déjeuners sont très copieux avec quelques petits changements chaque jour. La chambre ne se trouvait pas dans ce Riad mais dans un autre à 30 mètres. Cependant, les repas se prenaient tous dans le premier. Dommage le matin pour ceux qui y dormaient. Il doit y avoir 2 voire 3 riads. C'est pour cette raison que nous n'y reviendrons pas. Est-ce nous, mais nous étions régulièrement 5 chambres pour déjeuner. Même si nous nous partagions quelques mots, il n'y a pas eu la même proximité que d'autres personnes ont rencontré dans leur ryad avec les gérants. Pour les excursions, impossible d'avoir de détails précis avec ou sans guide, donc nous ne sommes pas passer par eux. Systématiquement, ils font les intermédiaires avec les activités donc très compliqué pour avoir des renseignements et pas de contact direct.
