Riad Reviews

Riad magnifique de style contemporain au coeur de la Médina. Personnel hyper chaleureux avec une mention spéciale pour Jessy "la reine du lieu" qui nous a donné des conseils avisés et des astuces tout au long du séjour ! Chambre spacieuse et très confortable. On a aimé les draps en lin, les petits-déjeuners dans le salon marocain... ! Bref, nous recommandons cette adresse !!

I have to agree with all of the reviews so far - the Riad is immaculate, and you really get treated like you are one of the family. It is also very quiet at night. It is an excellent value. I was picked up at the airport, and dropped off near the Riad. I was then walked to the Riad by one of the staff, which is needed because its a little confusing at first. I was then offered excellent mint tea and cookies, and a bottle of water. This was my first time to Marrakech, and I wasnt prepared for the intensity of the City. The riad turned out to be a sanctuary of sorts for me, as the streets and sites can wear you down. I got in a routine of using the pool and then going up to the roof to chill out and read or listen to music. Im not sure if this was really part of the deal, but I was offered a ride back to the airport. When the ride didnt show, the manager walked me to a taxi and paid for me. I offered to pay but he refused. What a great guy. I dont know if everyone should expect that, but this is the sort of people they are, and if this is your first time to the City, you will see how appreciated that is. On that note, here are some other suggestions for times when you are outside the Riad. 1. Politely refuse all offers of assistance, unless it is from the Riad or you are completely lost. Most of the encounters I had with people claiming to want to help me ended in them wanting 5 or 10 dollars for doing little. You may also end up buying something you dont want. All of this can be intimidating at first, but hang in there. 2. Bring at least 2 good maps, if not more. Dont rely on the Lonely Planet or your guide book map. 3. The Riad is actually centrally located about equal distance to the bus station and the "Place," if you use some shortcuts. It is also very close to the Madersa and Museum of Marrakech. Email me if you are staying here and i will show you what I mean. Also, the Riad has free internet access and Wifi. 4. Finally!!!! Dont go to the tanneries!!!! Just do not go there - its a tourist trap.

Die Photos entsprechen absolut der Wirklichkeit, das Riad ist traumhaft schön, besonders für Liebhaber von Tadelakt - verputzten Wänden und Böden. Die Belegschaft ist sehr, sehr hilfsbereit und hält, was sie verspricht! Auch die von ihnen organisierten Touren waren zu unserer vollsten Zufriedenheit. Und wenn's mal mit der Verständigung auf Englisch nicht so gut klappt, hilft der Nachbar gerne weiter... Das Riad liegt in der nördlichen Medina, mit ca 5 Min. Fußweg vom Sidi Ben Slimane, was auf der Karte im Internet falsch dargestellt ist! Dort liegt es lt. Plan östlich vom Bahnhof in der Neustadt (wieso!?!)Fazit: Ich kann das Haus mit bestem Gewissen weiterempf
