Riad Suliman

Accueil et cadre très chaleureux, service de grande qualité. Nous avons été séduit par cet endroit où il était à la fois possible de se reposer et de profiter de conseil de qualtié de la part de Dagmara (directrice) pour visiter Marrakech et ses environs. Le hammam et les massages (sur la terrasse du Riad) sont à recommander. Un lieu de calme et de bien être à dix minutes à pied de la place Jemaa el Fna, de ses souks et de sa vie trépidante. Les excursions dans l'Atlas et à Essaouira, organisées par l'hôtel étaient magnifiques et enrichissantes. Un Riad où nous reviendrons certainement.

Etter å ha tråkket rundt i Marrakesh (med fare for liv og helse) :) er det en sann fornøyelse å komme til Dominique's stille og rolige oase bare ett steinkast fra markedet. Vi var der i bare 2 netter men ble tatt i mot og behandlet som sjeiker!

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.
