Riad Suliman

we arrived in the dark, cold and walked through the door to a very warm welcome from Dominique and her staff and lovely mint tea to top it off. Our room (Turquoise) was lovely . The food....excellent.. as we ate there most of our 9 nights there. They went out of their way to accomodate us and help with booking the Fantasia Night and recommendations for this and that. Even in November, I used the rooftop sun terrace for a spot of sunbathing Besides all the other rooftops and sky dishes, there are lovely views of the Atlas Mountains. The only downside for us was the surrounding area of the Medina. Of Marrekesh itself, the square during the day was pretty boring but at night it came alive and we ate there as well. And I got my henna tattoo. The souk surrounding the square went from very tidy to really s messy and smelly . The Jardine Majorelle were beautiful - a must see. Word of warning, M&S recommended I take euro travellers cheques, I took mostly cash (as the Riad only accepts CASH) . I would seriously think about taking travellers cheques again as we had a nightmare trying to cash them. Eventually we had to go to the central bank (a taxi ride away) and they would not cash them because i did not have my purchase receipt with me. I argued I only need my passport but they would not change them. Fortunately the taxi driver who was waiting for us took us back to "Princes Road" and went to a Morrocon Hotel which changed them. None of the banks/Bureau de Change/Western Union directed us there. We passed this hotel EVERYDAY on our walk to town! All in all a lovely stay and I have given my rating accordingly.

very nice and clean Riad in the old medina of Marrakech. typical interior with large rooms. Dominique, the manager, gives to all guests a warm feeling of hospality.

The Riads were the highlight of our trip to Morocco and Suliman was no exception. Marrakech is an absolutely crazy, busy, and exciting city, but once you crossed the door into the riad it truly felt as though you were in a quiet sanctuary. The pool in the Riad keeps the air in the middle nice and cool and the rooms are absolutely beautiful, each decorated individually. The sun terrace up above was a fantastic place to take a rest, sun bathe, or just have a nice drink as well. Breakfast was fantastic, with something freshly prepared warm every day. The staff were extremely helpful, even planning excursions for us into the Atlas Mountains and assisting us when we had to cancel a couple nights by doing everything they could for us. The only negative of the riad is that it is located on a very busy street, and although it is extremely quiet in the riad and the rooms, walking through the street could be difficult; however, all of Marrakech is like this. Otherwise, we would certainly stay here again!
