Where would you start? Adil met us from our taxi on the street and took us the short distance to the Dar. (ie like a riad but no garden in the centre) Check in was quick and efficiaent. The attention to detail in the decoration of the Dar was sooooo beautiful and Vincent (the owner ) was just so sweet. I stayed in Indigo and it was soooo lovely. The bathroom is quite small, but perfect. We ate in the Dar for the first two nights - the food was really good, but the table decoration was even better! (Thak you Simo!) There were 3 male staff at the Dar - Adil who was there the most and also at night - we had no key to the Dar, but just rang the bell and were seen on camera and let in. When we had to catch a 3am taxi to the airport Adil was there to help with our bags and leave us to the right taxi. You could breakfast at a table for 6 with other guests or have your own little table or even eat at one of the higher terraces. The air conditioning in bedrooms was quiet, efficient and easy to use. The Dar itself is up a quiet little land, but so close to everything in the medina, The care and kindness that the staff and Vincent gave us really made our week in Marrakech extra special and I cannot recommend this Dar highly enough.crossed

We loved everything - we hated leaving!

Our host Vincent was absolutely brilliant and welcoming, we had the best time inside Riad, including jacuzzi, drinks and chats. The lady in the kitchen showed us how to prepare fluffy pancakes with holes. Breakfast was great, and staff helpful and friendly, giving us tips and tricks how to shop and bargain in Souks! They also printed our boarding passes and arranged taxi at 2.30am to airport. Would definitely come back, as this was an amazing experience.

My stay at this beautiful riad was exceptional. The riad is truly an oasis of calm, offering a serene and hospitable environment that feels worlds away from the city’s bustling streets. The rooms were impeccably clean, with every detail thoughtfully considered, and equipped with everything you could possibly need to feel at home. But what made the experience even more special was the Team. Yassine, Adil, Hamza, and Bahija. Their professionalism, kindness, and constant availability to assist with any request made my stay unforgettable. They went above and beyond to ensure every moment was perfect, and their genuine care for the guests was truly remarkable. I highly recommend this riad to anyone seeking a peaceful and welcoming stay in Marrakech. Thank you to the amazing team for making my visit so memorable I will definitely be back!

This is a lovely place to stay. The staff are so welcoming and helpful. Our room was very comfortable. It was cleaned and tidied each day. Breakfast was amazing and always served with a smile. The location is ideal. It's in the centre of the Medina, a short walk from the main square, Saadian tombs and Bahia palace. Thanks so much for the Pastillas con leche and the fresh lemonade we enjoyed on the lovely rooftop terrace. It truly is a little place of tranquility for a relaxing afternoon. The advice on bargaining in the souks, hailing taxis and general advice on where to go was invaluable too. Well done to all of the staff. We have so enjoyed our stay with you.

It was a beautiful Riad with exceptional decor - the staff were really excellent and very attentive. It was very well located just inside the medina of the old city!

While it was very well located - the instructions to find the property were a bit complicated - a simple description of less than 2 mins walk from one of the entrance gates to the Medina (opposite a school, the police station & large taxi rank) would have been useful - then turn right & second left - with a landmark identified. Also, the phone should be diverted to someone in the Riad to help with arrival or maybe cone out & find you! We will still stay again as all of the staff were so nice and it is just a beautiful place!

Location of riad is perfect - very easy to find as it is near the big road, but at the same time on a small and quiet street, which you need very much after returning from the chaos of Medina. Decorations of the common area and room is very much Moroccan style, so it was lovely. Breakfast was simple, but still delicious. But it is all about the people - Nourdin helped us with transfers, showed us on where to go, and in general was very nice to communicate with. Special appreciation to the cleaning stuff, room was cleaned everyday!

Be prepared that riad has super thin walls, so you can easily hear your neighbours in the next room. There are about 4 or 5 rooms in total, so it was never loud or disturbing. But still we got the feeling you need to whisper in your own room when get back late at night, as neighbours sleeping. Another tiny issue is that you need to ring a bell when getting back to riad, as you are not given an entrance key. There was never a problem of waiting for too long for door to open, but when coming late it felt a bit inconvenient.

Location - In one way the location was excellent because of the proximity to both the medina and historical buildings south of there. On the other hand it is a the very end of a dead end alley. That was a bit intimidating for newcomers to Morocco arriving to the riad past midnight. That said, said we did not have to walk the alley alone. Instead Mohammed left the riad to come great us at our taxi in a nearby street. He insisted on picking up our luggage and led us back to the riad. As the perfect host he showed us our room but then took us to the rooftop for a relaxing sweet tea and a chance to look out over the medina before heading off to bed. Breakfast the next morning was plenty of Moroccan dishes already in place on the breakfast table while staff were there to pour coffee or offer up more food from the kitchen. Delightful. All of the staff were friendly and welcoming. If you are looking for local character in your lodging this is the place. Unlike any place I have stayed in the states or in Europe I felt like our Moroccan adventure began here.

What could have been better? Well this isn't a polished five star Ritz Palace. Sure some amount of money could be spent on renovations. The stairs in particular are challenging. Narrow, railingless, steps of different heights and width. You could look at that as imperfections but I feel like it is part of the charm of the place. Also being at the end of the alley can give you an uneasy feeling if you are used to a retreat on a tropical isle, but everywhere we went we found the local people to be friendly and helpful, never threatening nor surly.

We really feel greatful to have found this Riad, we were so warmly welcomed and had such a nice stay. It's a cosy place, wonderfully decorated with love and much detail. Most of the places you might want to visit are in walking distance. It is just around the corner from Jema el-Fnaa place and the Souk, but yet very quiet at any time. Vincent and his team made sure that we felt in good hands, every single moment. He gave us tips for our stay and helped with organizing a tour to the Agafay desert. The roof terrace is inviting for a rest after a day in the city, even so good restauants and rooftop bars are just aroud the corner. The breakfast was abundant and different every day. Everything tasty and home made, I just regret I didn't take a picture of the breakfast table. Thanks a lot, Vincent and team!

The Riad is beautiful and the staff were extremely attentive and on hand whenever we needed. They helped us arrange taxis to the airport, gave restaurant recommendations and showed us where the nearest atm was, for example. The Riad is in a great location just inside the walls of the Medina and we liked being in walking distance of everything but not being right in the centre. It was fairly quiet at night and the bed was very comfy. The roof terrace is especially nice to come back to and relax after a busy day walking and shopping.

I had some trouble locking my door but everytime it happened, a member of staff came to help.
