My stay was quite mixed. While the riad had its charm and the breakfast was enjoyable, my experience was marred by the last-minute change in room availability, which left my group in a difficult situation. The owners communicated poorly and failed to provide adequate compensation for the disruption. However, the staff member Brahim was a highlight, always ready to help and make our stay better.

The facilities could use improvement, as the winter salon offered as a last resort was not suitable.

My stay in Marrakech was quite an experience. The riad had a nice ambiance and the breakfast was extensive, but we encountered significant issues with the booking situation. The owner was helpful, but I was disappointed with the condition of the rooms and the facilities. Overall, there were some nice aspects, but the issues we faced made it less enjoyable than expected.

Rooms

The rooms were small and unfortunately not well-maintained, with dampness and leaks noted.

Service

The owner was extremely nice and accommodating, but the language barrier made communication difficult.

Location

The riad was a bit of a trek from where taxis could drop us off, which made getting around inconvenient.

Dining

The breakfast offerings were nice and included some good Moroccan tea and sweets.

Facilities

5.0/10

I had a mixed experience at the riad. The property is lovely and the breakfast is extensive, but my stay was marred by the owners suddenly reducing our room count despite prior confirmation. The alternative they offered was far from acceptable. The service from the staff was quite poor, and there was an uncomfortable interaction with one of them that left a bad taste.

Rooms

5.0

The room we ended up in was not suitable for our group’s needs, especially after we had already paid. It lacked privacy and warmth and did not close properly.

Service

5.0

The service was highly disappointing, particularly with the handling of our booking and the offered alternative, which they tried to sell as a good option. No real effort to compensate us for the inconvenience was made.

Location

6.0

The riad is situated fairly well, but that can’t compensate for the negative experiences we had during our stay.

Dining

8.0

Breakfast was plentiful, which was a positive aspect during our stay.

Facilities

5.0

Overall, the facilities seemed quite run down and in need of maintenance.
