Just the most wonderful Riad! 11 of us took all the rooms for 3 nights and had the best time. The rooms were all beautiful, well equipped and spacious. The Riad itself is large enough that you don’t feel that you’re all living on top of one another and central enough to walk to all of the attractions in the medina. The staff were fantastic and attentive at all times. Would definitely recommend and we’ll be booking again if and when we return to Marrakesh. Rooms: 5 Service: 5 Location: 5
We stayed here for four nights in the family suite with our two kids (6 and 9). The accommodation feels quite palatial - lots of stairs though and the swimming pool is right next to the family suite with the door left open, so don't think I'd recommend it for much younger kids necessarily. Mustapha and Ali were great. The other staff don't speak brilliant English and although I can sort of get by in French (I got an A in my GCSE years ago!), it was tricky sometimes when they weren't there. If felt like there were people going in and out of the suite a lot of the time - didn't feel very private, although I was grateful for e.g. somebody to turn the million lights out! We had dinner the first night which was good though arrived at 7.45pm when we asked for it at 7pm and our kids were starving and tired by then. Breakfast, which was fantastic, is served in the suite and I learned to ask for a bit earlier than we needed but ultimately would have been nice if things had arrived a bit more on time. Location-wise, it wasn't the greatest location for most of the site-seeing places - the wrong end of the medina. Without kids, I don't think it would have mattered, but it did feel like we spent an awful lot of time walking and maybe I'd have gone somewhere nearer the square etc. instead if I were picking somewhere again. The main thing that slightly spoiled the experience for me was my experience of the hammam. Apart from starting half an hour or so late, I felt I was a bit harrassed the whole time to spend more money (on a longer massage, buying oil, and was asked about ten times if the rest of my family wanted to book a session and for what time even though I kept saying that I needed to ask them) which made what should have been a relaxing experience not relaxing. Marrakech is a mad place with everybody hassling you for your money, and you want your riad to be an oasis from that! I also tried to ask the riad staff in advance about tipping for the hammam but couldn't get a proper answer and would have like to have clear expectations there. Somehow my experience of the hammam soured my whole experience of the place when it should have enhanced it! Rooms: 5 Service: 4 Location: 3

Chère Juliette, merci de votre avis. Notre personnel fera attention de servir les repas à l'heure, mais il attend toujours que les clients soient à table pour servir afin que tout reste chaud. De même pour le petit déjeuner, nous ne servons à la terrasse que lorsque les clients sont attablés afin que les chats qui courent parfois sur les terrasses ne se servent en premier...et puis...vous êtes en vacances ! Pour le hammam, nous avons besoin de 3 heures pour le chauffer et préférons prévenir les clients afin qu'ils ne soient pas déçus de ne pouvoir avoir un hammam à la minute. De même l'esthéticienne vient sur rendez-vous et doit être réservée d'avance. Sorry pour l'insistance. Au plaisir Eveline
