We highly recommend our stay at Riad Anabel in Marrakech for multiple reasons.
Its location is excellent. It is a very short walk from a major Plaza which taxis easily know and to which they can quickly bring one. Moreover it is just off a major Medina road that takes one to the central Square in about a 7 minute walk. Despite being equally located within the Medina, it is extremely quiet.
2nd, its staff is excellent. Fouad and his aunt, Habiba, proved very helpful in a # of ways, giving us advice, helping to direct our explorations of Marrakech in ways that pre-empted mistakes, expedited our daily plans, and made reservations for us at restaurants and museums. Moreover, they both are a delight to interact with, very willing to help in every regard. When we had 12 hours between our last day's required check-out and the very early-morning flight out of Morocco, they not only made us welcome in their roof-top terrace but provided an unasked for service of cookies and mint tea. In short, we were made to feel at home.
The Riad itself is lovely; our room was large and ornate. The breakfasts were tasty, diverse and huge -- fruit cups, yogurt, many types of breads, pancakes, cakes, jams, and pots of both tea and coffee and a special mid-Eastern shashuka.
When we saw all of the 5-star reviews on Hotels.com we had to stay here. Riad Anabel and the wonderful staff did not disappoint!!! Fouad was amazingly helpful with coordinating many outings including riding Arabian horses on the beach (3 hours by private car--Essaouira--an amazing port town on the Atlantic Ocean), last minute rooftop dinner reservations at nearby posh Dar Dar restaurant-which deserves it own 5 star rating for food, fun, atmosphere, sunsets, and friendly staff). Riad Anabel has its own Hammam--(look it up and do it!!) and massage therapists. The breakfasts were amazing and we had a fantastic dinner there one evening--the tangine is sooo good. There are not enough superlatives for this stunning, authentic Riad. You will be charmed!
