  Uncomfortable, unpleasant and loud

  10 Nov 2024

  The hotel owners also seemingly enjoy having friends around and being very noisy until late in the morning, chatting, shouting and laughing loudly. You can hear absolutely everything in this Riad.Beds are very uncomfortably and tiny, they are rock hard. Over the four nights I maybe managed to sleep 3 hours a night due to the noise and the horribly uncomfortable beds.The sounds from outside and the front door knocking and squeaking open and close, being slammed all throughout the night are terrible. The AC doesn’t work. AVOID. Horrid place. Breakfast is small and language barrier very difficult.You would be best off spending your money elsewhere. In fact, do not even bother coming to Marrakesh. There are many nicer places you can go

  Wonderful little riad in the heart of medina

  31 Oct 2024

  This riad is very authentic and elegant in its simplicity, but equally there is attention to details. The staff is friendly and will try to help you with whatever you need. The riad itself is perfectly placed in the heart of Medina, however it is very quiet at night. Nice simple breakfast included with some bakery and freshly squeezed orange juices! Great value of money!!

  In the Heart of the Medina

  03 Jun 2022

  Location is perfect - in the hart of the medina. rooms are neat. All in all a very good experience.Apart from Yousef none of the other staff could speak english, which made for interesting conversations. staff were very friendly.Breakfast was included, ussually a criossant, some bread, coffee and juice. The feeling of the place is very authentic Marrakech.

  Would have been a four until the last day

  16 Jul 2019

  Spent the whole week and enjoyed the riad, small but clean. Staff arguing on a daily basis or very loud disagreements. Breakfast very samey. Staff do not speak english, owner who sleeps at riad each night a little english.The last eve and day it fell apart, spoke with owner on last evening, he advised city tax of 27€ which we had missed on our paperwork and was supposed to be collected on first day. We asked owner if we could use the room the following day before our 4pm departure, he said yes yes no problem, we thanked him.Then came the last day, spent the morning doing last bits of gift shopping, thinking the room was all ok (only 2 rooms out of 7 being used ) came back, showered and changed, ready to leave for pick up. Loud banging on our door after a lot of shouting between owner and staff outside room. Partner answered door to a shouting owner, saying you paid for 7 not 8 nights, you must leave.We then realised he had not understood what we had asked and hurriedly grabbed cases and went to leave.As going through door owner started shouting, then realised it was about city tax, we had forgotten, genuinely which somehow now had become €35. Not having enough money and everything outside the riad door, my partner left to walk for 10 mins to nearest cashpoint. I was happy to wait outside as i was a little annoyed, owner insisted i wait in riad and started putting my bags inside.....realised then this was to stop me walking away ( 1 large 2 hand and medical equipment and walking stick, not happening).Partner returned put money on counter, we then left, no thankyou, no goodbye, no hope you enjoyed your stay.Very rude and no chance to explain a communication error.Our first visit to marrakech, had actually looked at returning to riad, not now, ruined the last part of experience for us.Will return but will stay elsewhere.Bad points: 24hr reception at night owner sleeping in lounge room, during early evening can be found sitting on stool at locals riad opposite in alleyway.Staff constantly loudly disagreeing which can be heard through whole riad.On arriving no information given, about anything.Moody owner speaks when he wants too.Good points: clean and local to souks and market

  OVERBOOKING RIAD MARRAKISS sent to RIAD EVA

  17 Jun 2019

  BEWARE OVERBOOKING: Beware Riad Marrakiss are overbooking and sending you to Riad Eva, which they also own. I was sent there and it is not good. NO SAFETY for your valuables in the whole riad,, and rooms left open when being cleaned. No receipts given, for cash paid for room (I asked for one). Cracks to mirror, electric plug not flush with wall,, generally down at heal, cracks and chips to sink. ETC , ETC. But GOOD breakfast, nice cleaner/ breakfast person, very limited English was not a problem.I have stayed in Marrakiss lots of times and it has always been fine. NOT NOW
