Wonderful staff, beautiful riad, lovely pool, calm ambience. All round, a great place to stay.

Nothing really. They do not have a restaurant although they advertise it as such.
For us, this was a perfect place to stay in Marrakech. The Riad has a nice vibe, relaxed and friendly, it often feels like you are staying with a family! It is well kept and very clean, every day we would see the staff keeping the place clean and that included our room. All staff at the Riad were friendly and welcoming, making our stay as good as it could be. We were treated to mint tea on our arrival while we completed the paperwork for our stay. Our rooms were well equipped and comfortable. The pool area was a nice place to relax with plenty of tables and chairs to sit at (either to soak up some sun or enjoy the breakfast) with four sunbeds that face the sun as it moves over the Riad. There is also a large space on the roof that has more tables and chairs, sunbeds and a shaded sofa area. The breakfast made a nice start to the day with coffee, mint tea, fresh orange juice and a nice collection of freshly baked pastries. The location was perfect for us, a 20 minute walk to the main Medina and its Souks. There is an ATM nearby together with small shops to buy water and supplies and some small restaurants. We can highly recommend Taste+ for somewhere to eat, the chap only has 4 tables but the food was very well priced and really tasty. Overall, cannot fault the Riad and if we ever return to Marrakech, we would stay here again.
