Riad Bab aylen - Piscine Roof Top chauffée

A beautiful riad with a pool and a lovely terrace. There were lots of places for us to relax. Each bedroom had an en suite so no bathroom sharing.

The location was a bit of a shocker, it’s right in the middle of a bustling medina. Some of the surrounding properties are in disrepair/falling apart and it was kinda hard to get used to, but once you do (around day 3) you realise it’s just life there and you get on with it.

Utterly superb in every way. We (2 adults 2 children) had booked this Riad to celebrate my 40th birthday, communication from start to finish with Marie and Xavier was excellent and they put me in touch with Bouchra (Housekeeper) before our trip to finalise any requests. Bouchra was very kind and attentive, I requested a small birthday cake which was served after a delicious dinner upon our arrival. We only ordered one dinner and two breakfasts- simply because we wanted to get out and about to explore, however Bouchras cooking is absolutely top notch. Bouchra speaks no English, regrettably I only speak a little French and my husband none at all, but even so we managed to communicate with one another with my vocabulary and the help of a translate app. Little Sam (cleaner) always greeted us with a smile and our children really liked her, our son even ran up to show her a purchase he had made, even though he can't speak French and Little Sam no English :) Yassine (Driver) is accomodating and professional, we felt in safe hands during our transfer and speaks excellent English, you can book him for tours as well, but we were happy to explore Marrakesh on foot as well as us craving a rest from our day to day lives at home. The Riad itself is very spacious and well kept, our children were free to play, relax and explore this was very important to us our son has special needs and our daughter is only 2, we needed them to feel safe and have space and peace to unwind after the hectic bustle of the city, which they certainly got as did we. The Swimming Pool was used well by us everyday. Wonderful addition, particularly as even though a smaller pool it had a shallow end. It was perfect and really made our experience perfect. Thank you so much for our wonderful holiday, we will always carry great memories of our time with you.

There was nothing that we didn't like.

Everything, we had an amazing stay. Bouchra was such a great host

Beautiful property

A Hidden Treasure awaits you if you decide to come and stay in this Riad. Bouchra and Yassine are the most perfect hosts and provide a real home from home experience. The Riad is stunning, decorated, and maintained to a very high standard. All the bedrooms are en-suite and have the most comfortable beds adorned with high-quality bed linen. For those choosing to visit in the cooler months, the beds are also fitted with electric blankets to keep you as "snug as a bug in a rug." AC is also fitted in all rooms to accommodate the scorching summer months. We opted to have breakfast every morning during our stay, and I can highly recommend it. Bouchra provided us with a homemade traditional breakfast feast each morning, which included freshly squeezed orange juice, fruit, coffee, and mint tea, sublime! The Riad is located within the Medina walls,  about a 20 minute stroll to the main square. When you are inside the Riad, it is a complete oasis of calm, hard to imagine the chaos of outside. On the rooftop, you will find a well equipped solarium and pool area, with towels and sun hats provided. We hope to return soon to experience more of Marrakech and the truly warm welcome that awaits you

Nothing.

Spacious, 5 bedroom facility, separate dining and living room, each bedroom with its full bathroom. Very nice roof top and Terrance, though due to weather we could not really use that. We enjoyed a lot the food prepared by Bouchra. Bouchra and her team were great, they did their best to make us feel like home. Special thanks to Yassine, for going beyond to meet our expectations, for taking us around the Marrakesh, and organizing a tour to Essaouira.

Bathrooms require a bit of refurbishing, especially smaller ones.

Perfection 5 Stars.... This riad is a little bit of paradise in the heart of marrakech. The rooms are beautifully done and spotlessly clean. The pool area and bar on top floor just perfect to relax. Boushra is the best cook ever.... and her husband who takes care of the driving is just fabulous. 10 min walk to madina square with lots to see and do on the way. No one who books this raid could ever be disappointed..... it's perfection 👌

Nothing everything was perfect. The location is a little daunting at first as its off the main street down a dark alley way but once you enter the riad and get settled this disappeared. We felt very safe but kept our wits about us.

Everything was amazing, better than the pics

Everything! The Riad was exceptional in all respects. We had the place to ourselves and walked everywhere . The housekeepers Bouchra and Petit Sem were exceptional and very friendly ( only speak French by the way) and the food, traditional and fantastic

Nothing. It was faultless.
