Hello!
My wife and I stayed in this riad for 5 nights. We came to Marrakesh to enjoy the weather, visit the markets, and wander around the Medina.
We were met and greeted by Stephane and Noura, and we really enjoyed having them as our hosts. Stephane arranged our airport transfers and gave me great advice about local shops, and their communication was fantastic throughout.
The riad is close enough to all the historical sites to explore everything on foot—around a 20–25 minute walk to Jemaa el-Fnaa square. We both love walking, so we spent plenty of time strolling around.
The riad itself was neat and clean. We stayed in Room 6, which faces the street. You do hear scooters and people outside, though everything usually quieted down from 23:00 until 7:00, which aligned well with our sleep schedule :) We have a high noise tolerance and prefer sleeping with open windows rather than air-con, but if you're sensitive to noise, ask for a room facing the inner courtyard.
Breakfast wasn't a "full English": one boiled or fried egg, delicious local bread, spreadable cheese, local pancakes (msemen), jams, yogurt, and a dessert. Since we usually just have coffee and a cheese sandwich, this was more than enough for us.
We didn't want a 5-star hotel; we wanted an authentic Marrakesh experience. While a few tiles had cracks and the walls needed a touch of paint, Room 6 was clean, cozy, and full of character—feeling like staying at a friend's house (with air-con for hotter season)
Thanks!
