Nothing

What an amazing place, it was our first time in Marrakech and we were made to feel very welcome from the start. Didier was in touch well before we travelled, and whenever I popped him a question on WhatsApp, he replied almost immediately. Adil and Hamza look after the Riad, so there is always someone there, which brought great piece of mind when leaving to explore for the day. There are 4 (I think) rooms in the Riad, set over 4 storeys. The Riad is in a central setting, with max 20 minute walks to the Jamaa El Fna market and surroundings. We were a little unsure on how easy it would be to find our way around, but turns out to be very easy to get your bearings . Tip, buy a data package for your mobile, as when we were in the maze of the market, which seems to go on forever, it was very handy to pop data roaming on, get a GPS location, and then a route out :-). Safety and security wise there were absolutely no issues at all, everyone is really friendly, and there was no 'edginess' at all about being in such a different city. Breakfast in the Riad is great, bread, yogurt, juice, eggs, crepes, and Moroccan bread cakes (can't remember the name) :-). Airport transfers were easy, again organised by Didier and the guys at the Riad. Going out at night was amazing, there are some great bars and restaurants close to the Riad, our favourite one being about 150m from our front door. Bravo Didier and team!! (already planning our next trip) :-)

it rained one day but hey, it was snowing in the UK :-)

Beautiful design and really friendly staff who were very accommodating. Location was ideal very close to everything in the medina!

Rooms had little natural light which I assume is for the boiling summer months

Great location in the heart of the Souk, and super helpful host, who despite not being there, shared so many wonderful recommendations for us to explore the city.

Ground floor room, which meant there was some light noise. and on our visit, the air con didnt work not much room around the bed so had to get in by climbing in at the end. Breakfast was pleasant but very simple, but no water or tea, Just juice or coffee,

We liked it You could choice what time you will have breakfast until 10am and one day we asked if we could have breakfast at 6-30am because we are leaving on desert extrusion and it wasn’t a problem

Toilet seat was falling apart other then that it was good Breakfast everyday is the same that’s a bummer and if you like big breakfasts you will not be full after this one Also we didn’t like the fact that on one day we asked for tea we paid 20 dirham for tea and some cookies and next day we asked again and we got tea no cookies and paid 30 Dirham The owner was helpful initially and even messaged us before arrival, offering to arrange a private transfer from the airport for two hundred dirhams, which we agreed to. However, one day before our arrival, I asked him to confirm that the price was indeed two hundred dirhams, and he seemed to hesitate and wouldn’t confirm this amount. It felt a bit like a bait-and-switch tactic. In the end, we opted for a regular taxi outside the airport and paid only eighty-five dirhams.

The owner of the riad, Didier, and his daughter Océane were incredible hosts and made my first time in Morocco so special. Didier was responsive and generous with recommendations of activities around Marrakech. He and Océane organized various activities for me as well as transportation. Océane and I visited the Atlas Mountains and had the most remarkable time. She knows the best tour guides, places to eat, sites to see, people to meet... she's the greatest! Her energy is infectious. I highly recommend you book your stay here. You will be taken care of!
