Particularly good location in Marrakesh, adjacent to most interesting sights, desolate alleyway and the center and the quietness. For tea or coffee visit Limoni Cafe and Restaurant nearby: D

Generous breakfast with Morocco's fantastic orange juice was a nice touch. the hotel is conveniently located near taxi stands, the maze of the old town, and Jardin Majorelle. - It only took me 15 minutes to walk to the nearby lake.

The staff is the best, they help you for anything that you could need (even let you an umberella or a map)
The area is bad, I get a stone "flying" to my head when I was in the street and the people that you find just around the Riad are always horrible! They try to confuse you and tell you that everything is closed and that you are lost (although knowing that nothing is closed because the Riad is opened 24h!)if the Riad was in a corner of the Square El Fna it would be the very best!! But going there or out of there it was a nightmare

Breakfast was great and the staff was very helpful, though no english was spoken. The pool is awesome and the terrace very comfortable.
The hotel is a little far from the main square and we had a little trouble walking back through the labyrinth that is Marrakesh. Also, they don't serve any food other then breakfast, so don't count on a relaxing night in.

The staff was really friendly, they helped were they could. The rooms were very beautiful!
The only negative point is the location, but I don't think this is a reason not to come here. Because of the location you really find out how life is in Marrakech, and the taxi's are really cheap!

Very comfortable calm hotel. Charming proprietor, a real haven from the bustle of the city
In a very poor area no problem for us but perhaps for adventurous travellers

The breakfast was good, and the staff was friendly and helpful. The location was central to what we wanted to see and close to public transportation. We also enjoyed the rooftop terrace which was a nice spot to relax in the sun.
The neighborhood was not very safe in the evenings, and we felt uncomfortable walking around at night. The room was small and basic, with no luxuries.

Location right by the centre of Medina, the hectic medina, and desolate alleyway. Generous and sensational breakfasts, with homemade jam and Morocco's fantastic orange juice, as for instance. Nice pool, parking nearby...

the room was big with nice morrocain- style furniture. The bathroom is integrated in the room and comes with a nice design. The room was clean. On the huge terrace they have nice furniture to chill.
The location of the Riad at the end of the medina is not as central as mentioned. The owner was just interested in getting his money! We had to leave early the next day - to get a breakfast at 7 was almost impossible and was served with swearing! Not guest- friendly at all. When we left they didn't replied to our "good-bye". Not recommendable at all!

The staff here were helpful, the design of the place was nice, and the location seemed convenient to the nearby arch for catching taxis, making our 2-night stay perfect overall.

Friendly owner (drew us a map and organised a lovely taxi driver to take us to the square on the first night), lovely room (which he upgraded for us free of charge as it was quiet), great sun terrace, gorgeous building
Location - difficult to find initially (we had to pay a local to show us the way and he tried to scam us for €20, we paid him €7), 30 min walk from main square, but after the 2nd day we were confident to walk there and back for the rest of the holiday and it was no longer an issue. Just be confident with directions - you will find a lot of locals trying to point you the wrong way so they can then show you the right way and charge you. Just ignore them. Organise an airport pickup if you go here, it will be worth it.

Inside was safe and relaxing. Authentic interior decor and traditional food. Accomodating staff and friendly people.
The location was remote and difficult to access. Rooftop terrace not in use as covered in stored materials, hence nowhere outside to relax. The pool is more of a water feature and not readily useable. Lack of info on tours and places of interest. Really need French to communicate.

This hotel offers great value for money and prices are reasonable. The staff pays great attention to detail, ensuring that the rooms are cleaned and well-maintained. The location within the maze of the old town adds to the authentic experience and captures the essence of Marrakesh. Despite being in a rough area, it is situated on a street without cars, providing a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere. The service provided by the friendly staff is remarkable, and the basic amenities, including rooms with heating, are reliable. The breakfast, with Morocco's fantastic orange juice, is a delightful addition and is nicely served, making it the perfect way to start the day.
No negative aspects.
