Five days and nights: a superb (and my first) riad experience. Positives (many): Excellent service all-around. I arrived at 7:00AM (!) on a direct Delta flight and was met at the street with my luggage carried to my room. This type of attention to detail continued throughout my stay, as coffee was proffered on arrival, breakfast was offered daily, and green tea served on my departure (as I wrote the first draft of this review). Beautiful interior! Yes this was my first experience in Marrakech but still, it was a classic Moroccan design and one that added to the relaxed quality of the stay. The building was entirely renovated in 2011 and it was evident. Ditto on the rooms. Again, interior design is not my “thing” but suffice it to say the room was a pleasure to come home to every night. Everything was functional and housekeeping was thorough and invisible. Excellent free dinner at a great location (on the rooftop). For a first-time visitor this was about as classic Marrakech as you can get. They offer a Hamman experience… I couldn’t resist and again, this provided me with one of the many firsts of the trip. It was equally relaxing, fun, on the rooftop, and very reasonably priced. Good location for those who want easy access to a busy street for pickup from tour operators (typically by Dar Moha restaurant) but also an internal route to the souks and main square. Negatives (few… I always look for at least one): Sound quality in the rooms could be a bit average. The courtyards of the building reverberate the noise a bit but it was something I just noticed, nothing that impeded sleep quality. Summary: Overall thumbs up and a great introduction to Marrakech. A special thanks to Mohammed and Bramin (the former on arrival and departure) for their help throughout my five days. I would recommend this riad to anyone coming to the city and would absolutely stay again. Fantastic.
