Riad Suliman

Intéressant comme situation proche monuments et accès taxis À besoin d'un lifting

Nice place, but the whole place needs updating as it's looking a little shabby. The staff were okay, apart from one person only talking to my husband and not looking at me once while talking about the local area. More than a little rude! We were also charged for our room when we had already paid through Expedia. Luckily Expedia did refund us.

The bed in the first room I was given was rock hard, basically a box spring only. Fortunately I was about the only guest during my stay, so they happily moved me to another room with a comfortable bed. The Riad might look like the picture if the lights were ever on, but didn't ever see it like that.

Arrivés le samedi soir à 19 heures, formalités et installation , et , juste après la douche froide....Nous avions réservé et payé pour une semaine et on nous apprend que , suite à une erreur de gestion, nous devrions quitter les lieux pendant deux nuits, l'établissement ayant été réservé en totalité pour une agence. Refus de notre part. Deux jours plus tard, à 7 h30 du matin, plus d'électricité ni eau ..... Le soir, à notre retour toujours rien et pas de certitude sur la suite. On nous emmène voir un autre riad où il y a deux chambres disponibles. Sans eau ni électricité pas vraiment le choix, nous refaisons nos valises et déménageons. Par chance le nouveau lieu était accueillant et de très bonne qualité et nous y sommes restés. La responsable du premier nous a proposé un dédommagement que nous avons accepté. Comme vous pouvez l'imaginer cet établissement est pour nous d'ores et déjà rayé de nos listes de lieux à retenir.

Accueil et cadre très chaleureux, service de grande qualité. Nous avons été séduit par cet endroit où il était à la fois possible de se reposer et de profiter de conseil de qualtié de la part de Dagmara (directrice) pour visiter Marrakech et ses environs. Le hammam et les massages (sur la terrasse du Riad) sont à recommander. Un lieu de calme et de bien être à dix minutes à pied de la place Jemaa el Fna, de ses souks et de sa vie trépidante. Les excursions dans l'Atlas et à Essaouira, organisées par l'hôtel étaient magnifiques et enrichissantes. Un Riad où nous reviendrons certainement.

Etter å ha tråkket rundt i Marrakesh (med fare for liv og helse) :) er det en sann fornøyelse å komme til Dominique's stille og rolige oase bare ett steinkast fra markedet. Vi var der i bare 2 netter men ble tatt i mot og behandlet som sjeiker!

Riad Suliman - lille perle lidt fra alfarvej Riad Suliman er en typisk marokkansk riad (se wikipedias definition), placeret tæt på paladser og souq. Ruten til riaden fra Bahia paladset er dog lidt utryg om aftenen. Servicen og venligheden er stor på riaden og den er godt vedligeholdt. Der er en skønne tagterrasse med udsigt over Mellah'en og både sol- og skyggepladser. Værelset rummer stort set kun sengene (og et dejlig stort badeværelse), men udover tagterrassen kan man opholde sig omkring minipoolen, hvor der er fint lyst. Derude kan man også bestille en frokost eller middag - og det var meget velsmagende. Alt i alt et godt valg og til en særdeles rimelig pris.

We enjoyed our stay here very much over a four day holiday. There were many positives about the riad. A relaxing peaceful place when you step through the door way from travels through the medina. Dominique and staff were very good with all our queries and request. It was very authentic (big appeal) compared to staying in a typical hotel in the new town. These are some small negatives but they didnt affect holiday too much. Our room (emeraude) was not perfect with damp smell and poor shower. Neighbourhood made my partner uncomfortable at the beginning but she got use to it. Communication was not easy at times as french the main language but issues were always resolved. Overall loved our time in Marrakesh and Riad Suliman was great with a few blemishes.

we arrived in the dark, cold and walked through the door to a very warm welcome from Dominique and her staff and lovely mint tea to top it off. Our room (Turquoise) was lovely . The food....excellent.. as we ate there most of our 9 nights there. They went out of their way to accomodate us and help with booking the Fantasia Night and recommendations for this and that. Even in November, I used the rooftop sun terrace for a spot of sunbathing Besides all the other rooftops and sky dishes, there are lovely views of the Atlas Mountains. The only downside for us was the surrounding area of the Medina. Of Marrekesh itself, the square during the day was pretty boring but at night it came alive and we ate there as well. And I got my henna tattoo. The souk surrounding the square went from very tidy to really s messy and smelly . The Jardine Majorelle were beautiful - a must see. Word of warning, M&S recommended I take euro travellers cheques, I took mostly cash (as the Riad only accepts CASH) . I would seriously think about taking travellers cheques again as we had a nightmare trying to cash them. Eventually we had to go to the central bank (a taxi ride away) and they would not cash them because i did not have my purchase receipt with me. I argued I only need my passport but they would not change them. Fortunately the taxi driver who was waiting for us took us back to "Princes Road" and went to a Morrocon Hotel which changed them. None of the banks/Bureau de Change/Western Union directed us there. We passed this hotel EVERYDAY on our walk to town! All in all a lovely stay and I have given my rating accordingly.

very nice and clean Riad in the old medina of Marrakech. typical interior with large rooms. Dominique, the manager, gives to all guests a warm feeling of hospality.
