Good Riad
2nd stay at the Riah, We stayed for 4 days when we arrived in Marrakesh and one night before our flight. Gilles stored some luggage for us without charge while we toured around Morocco. Rooms as described. Nice extras like slippers, robes hairdryer and lots of toiletries. Never stayed in a Riad and I am pretty certain you can find flashier ones and a much greater cost but if I am in Morocco again I would definitely stay here as it is good value and the food, staff everything in fact is fine

Pre Christmas in Marrakech
Had the riad pretty much all to ourselves for the duration of our stay. Ideally locally in a quiet area but only a few minutes walk to the souks and 10 minutes walk to the main square.

Perfect stay
We had an amazing stay at this Riad, Gilles and his team was always making sure we had everything we needed, and, traveling with a toddler means you sometime have different needs. The Riad Is so peaceful, the rooms are very spacious and the breakfast was delicious! We ate also dinner there one evening and it was very good as well. We will definitely come back to Marrakech and stay here again.

I based my choice on the positive reviews of Giles' friendliness and helpfulness. I was glad I did. Friendly transfer arranged, a good night's sleep and a great breakfast. If I come back to Marrakesh I will return here.

Loved this Riad. Giles was a wonderful host. The breakfast was generous and delicious. Giles gave us some good tips to navigate tourist traps and gave us a great recommendation to buy pottery. We loved this Riad also for the closeness to the key attractions Bacha coffee and Madarsa Ben Youssef. Highly recommend staying here

Excellent service from the host Gilles and all the staff members! Perhaps the best we have received anywhere in Morocco, or even outside! The host Gilles helped us with anything we requested and was so gracious about it.
The riad has a very homely feeling.

Gilles is so attentive to his guests. He helped us with our transfer to the airport and even accompanied us safely to retrieve our car to the airport. There is nothing this man wouldn’t do to make your stay great! Breakfast was always ready and waiting hot and delicious. He also offers dinner options which is great for those not wanting to go out. The Riad is very clean and beautiful. It’s located near many shops and restaurants. Great experience you can’t go wrong in choosing this awesome place.

We had a wonderful stay! The riad owner was incredibly kind and made us feel incredibly safe as two college aged females traveling by ourselves. He and his staff served us a lovely breakfast in the mornings and our room was cleaned each day. The owner gave us many tips about the city in terms of things to see and scams to avoid. The riad was is a convenient location- walkable to everything in the Medina and only a 2 minute walk from the main road where we could get picked up for our excursions. Would definitely recommend!

Great place to stay. Gilles was a great host, very friendly and helpful. We were greeted with tea and biscuits, and always asked if we slept ok. Filtered water was great, and the breakfast kept us going for hours. The room was cleaned everyday.
It is also a cat free sanctuary in a cat filled city.

Can't miss riad
Best Riad! Gilles is the most graceful host and will do whatever it takes to make you comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and filling, the beds were clean and comfortable, clean hot showers, and even beauty products and bathrobes to make your stay feel luxurious. I would recommend this Riad to friends and family

Giles and the staff were excellent hosts. The breakfast consisted of fresh breads, homemade jams, eggs made to order. The room was a nice size and clean. The only thing was having to wait get into the property whilst someone opened the door as kept feeling like I was disturbing the staff. I would recommend.
