Staff friendly and helpful, room spacious and clean.

The riad was quite far from the entrance and we had to drag our bags over 5 minutes through the Medina to get to the riad. There also was a horrible stench right outside the riad. They were extremely nice once we made it inside the venture to get there just was not pleasant. The bathroom also did not have a door which was gross. Lastly their recommended transportation to and from the airport was overpriced and he was extremely rude.

Llegar fue un poco complicado por las calles del Zoco. De ahí en fuera todo muy bien!

L'emplacement est idéal dans la medina. Beaucoup de petits commerces à proximité. La place jemaa el Fna est facilement accessible à pied.

We had a wonderful stay in Marrakech at Riad Assala. The staff were all really friendly and extremely helpful. When we arrived from the airport in the transport they had arranged for us Ahmed met us at our taxi and took our cases through the narrow streets to the Riad where we were greeted by Fatima and Mustafa and offered mint tea as we settled in. They were also very accomodating to my wife's need of a gluten free diet and provided us with delicious food (breakfast every day and some dinners). The location in the heart of the medina was great being within walking distance of most of the main tourist attractions. When we left they once again organised our transport to the airport and Ahmed helped take our cases to the pick up point ensuring that we and our luggage were safely aboard. We would heartily recommend Riad Assala to anyone visiting Marrakech.

Ich bin Anfang März mit meiner Freundin nach Marrakech gereist. Das Riad liegt versteckt in einer Seitengasse, dennoch sehr zentral in Mitten der Médina. Wir wurden vom Hotelpersonal netterweise von unserem Taxi abgeholt und zum Riad gebracht. Alle wichtigen Sehenswürdigkeiten sind fußläufig zu erreichen. Obwohl man quasi direkt in einem Souk wohnt, ist es im Riad erstaunlich ruhig und erholsam. Der Pool bietet eine gute Gelegenheit zum Abkühlen und auf der verwinkelten Dachterrasse ist eine Erholung von der turbulenten Stadt möglich. In der Unterkunft haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Alle Mitarbeiter waren herzlich und zuvorkommend, haben uns bei jeder noch so kleinen Frage geholfen und wussten immer genau wann der richtige Zeitpunkt war, um uns eine Kanne frischen Minztee anzubieten ;) Merci beaucoup!

Séjour formidable,emplacement parfait ,lieu typique ,beaux décors ,confortable, douillet ,chaleureux Accueil ,discrétion ,gentillesse efficacité du personnel Les petits déjeuners "fait maisons"de Fatima sont exquis !

Bellissimo riad, centrale ma una volta entrati si abbandona totalmente la frenesia della medina per rilassarsi tra alberi e fontane. Colazione ottima. Servizio cordiale e attento

Authentic Riad in very central location, albeit accessed by a small (dark) alley. Staff were brilliant for friendliness and helpfulness.

Heel mooi, proper en centraal gelegen ! Heel lieve personeel

Das Zimmer war nur durch ein vom Hotel gestelltes Vorhängeschloss zu sichern. Leider hing das Schloss am Abend immer offen an der Tür. Das Zimmer stand damit den ganzen Tag offen. Die Dusche war verstopft, nach einer Minute duschen stand das Wasser für Stunden. Die Reparatur war während unseres Aufenthaltes nicht möglich. Ein Fenster schloss nicht, man konnte uns aus dem innenhof während der Nacht beim Schlafen beobachten, auch diese Reperatur konnte nicht während unseres Aufenthaltes durchgeführt werden. Ein Wechsel des Zimmers war nicht möglich. Verschiedene Mitarbeiter wollten uns Touren, Mietwagen etc verkaufen, als wir nichts kauften liess man uns jedoch in Ruhe. Bei Abreise wollte man das via hotels.com bereits bezahlte nochmals kassieren. Es scheint hier ein (temporäres?) IT Problem zu geben, wir empfehlen eine ausgedruckte Zahlungsbestätigung dabei zu haben. Am Ende liess uns der sehr freundliche Mitarbeiter gehen und glaubte uns. Zum positivem: Der Ort ist sehr zentral. Das Bad (exklusive der Dusche) ist auf gutem Niveau und sauber. Die Zimmer geräumig, das gesamte Hotel für ein Riad sehr hochwertig. (wir kennen schon ein paar). Das Frühstück ist nicht abwechslungsreich jedoch umfangreich und lecker.

Lovely Riad in the heart of the Médina, close to the souk and other attractions. Staff friendly and able to speak English, Spanish, French and Arabic so comunication was excellent!! The Road was beautiful and in great condition, the bfast room/dining room lovely and relaxing. Bfast was excellent and included omelette, yogurt, maroccan bread with marmalade and honey, mint tea, coffe and orange juice.

Ontbijt top! Gezellig aan een grote tafel waardoor je goed contact maakt met andere mensen. Personeel doet alles om het je naar het zin te maken. Douche minder. Bed aan de kleine kant. Perfecte ligging. Prijs technisch helemaal goed

Let me start by saying I was a little nervous about using Expedia to pick us up at the airport and drop us off at the hotel. If you are anything like me don’t worry it work for us. I was extremely happy a repensative was sent to pick us up from drop off point. I do not know if they knew we wasn’t moving because it so busy when you are dropped off, but it was appreciated. This should be a norm for all guest if it’s not. Arrived and was greeted with open arms, the hotel staff really took care of us. They guide us every step of the way. They were very understanding of language barriers and found the person who spoke English well. The room was comfortable, beware the water is so hot. Loved it. Also the dinner was great on first night to get your bearing. I asked for a laundry mat and they even washed our clothes for a small fee which freed us up too enjoy more of Morocco. This was one of the best Raid we have stayed in. So if you book you shouldn’t be disappointed. Rooms are decent size for money, no tv but we not there too watch tv. Enjoyed our stayed and if we go back we will definitely book again. The bed was a little too firm for my taste, however it was clean.

nous faire sentir chez soi... Notre chambre n’était pas très grande mais très confortable. En revanche, la salle de bain très grande, dotée de 2 lavabos de cuivre, d’une douche et d’un bain. Nous avions des trucs à garder au froid et Ahmed nous a gentiment aidé en les mettant au frigo pour nous. Nous avons séjourné au Riad 4 jours et n’avons pas regretté notre choix.

Ahmed & Fatima made our stay at Riad Assala. They were accommodating and kind, even with the language barrier. The riad itself is like a quiet refuge in the busy city. We loved it so much we booked with them again at the end of our stay. One thing to note: it’s a little tricky to find (you have to go down a few internal alleys). It’s helpful to download map.me app to give you precise directions.

Many times i visited marrakech. This stay was my worst experience. I didnt experience NO service! The place smells. After the check in we went to the (bath)room smelled bad and very noisy. After having a nice night out, I had to wait 10 minutes outside, trying to wake up the night shift to open the door for us! When laying in my bed half an hour later other people had the same. So I had to scream to the guy that he had to open the door. In the morning .. no one around for breakfast. We had to ask for our self. I was fed up with everything and I packed my stuff ( payed for 2 nights) after a whole debate, I still had to pay the city tax and ofcours no refund of the paid night or any other solution. So this was my experience.. for me as a Moreoccan, really this wasn’t the service and things I am proud of in Morocco! Never again!

We did NOT enjoy our experience at Riad Assala at all. 1) After making the reservation, Catherine emailed us to ask if we would like dinner arranged for our arrival. We followed up with her via email 5 times to ask re: menu, pricing and other details, but never heard back. When we arrived to check in, we were told that they had dinner ready for us. We weren't hungry and felt guilty for turning down food prepared for us; however it was $35 per person, and we did not want to pay that much for a dinner we didn't want. The staff insisted that we ordered it but we showed them our booking to confirm that we did not. 2) One night my husband fell ill and we couldn't go out for dinner. I asked the riad staff if they could order food delivery for me (since I don't speak french and most delivery places required an order in french), but they declined and said it wasn't allowed. I asked if they had anything at the riad I could eat (I was willing to pay); they said nothing was available. I went to bed hungry that night. I was extremely upset. 3) Overall, there was a sense of stinginess at the riad. Anytime we asked for something, the answer was no. No extra egg, no soap, no water. They were very rigid in their rules. 4) Make sure you get the hotel to arrange for pickup from airport or you will never find it yourself. Positives: The staff was usually helpful and would go outside the riad to show us directions. They were nice people.

Ideale Lage in der Altstadt, prima Dachterrrasse, freundliches Personal.

Nous avons passés 4 jours au Riad Assala, c’était un séjour fabuleux. Riad très bien situé au cœur de la médiana et proche de tout. Des hôtes plus que gentil et serviable d’une gentillesse inégalable ! Dépaysement assuré !
