Riad Al Anouwar

Yacine who runs this property was super helpful, courteous and accommodating. A Riad by definition is a smaller property so do not expect things that you would at a regular hotel. However you will have an awesome living room/communal area, the room is stylish and well appointed in a traditional setting and you get an incredible home cooked breakfast. I would recommend arriving during the daylight hours, as the entrance to the property is down a narrow alley that may seem off-putting on first viewing, but it should be as behind the door it's completely different. It's not directly in the centre of Marrakesh, so expect a 10-15 minute walk to the main souks and attractions. The walk is fine, through a small residential area and then into the main Medina area.

Younes and his team really made me feel at home in Marrakech from day one, with explanations as to how to get around the city by taxi or walking, where to find nice restaurants, buy souvenirs, etc. He creates a great atmosphere inside the Riad, where one is welcome to meet his friends and the other guests if one wishes. This allowed me to learn from Morocco when I came back from work, which I found much more friendly than being in an international hotel. The Riad is lovely, has an amazing rooftop terrace, a beautiful pond in the middle, plants, and elegant Moroccan decoration. It is quiet and appropriate for both business or tourism. The breakfast is excellent (homemade Moroccan pancakes and mint tea for me!) and the optional tajine dinners that were prepared for me were amazing. I also really appreciated that laundry was offered to me during my stay.

La struttura era molto ben organizzata, accogliente e pulita. Il personale è stato cordiale e disponibile. Consiglio vivamente questo Riad. Cordialmente
