It was a quiet oasis in the middle of the Medina...the staff was top notch!
We absolutely loved our stay here. The road was gorgeous and the staff were so welcoming and helpful the whole time. We felt very welcome and cosy here! Will definitely be back!
This is a lovely Riyad in the Medina of Marrakech and a perfect mix of luxury and comfort. I stayed mostly to experience the hammam and spa services which were absolutely incredible. The riyad itself is beautiful, with a lovely courtyard and rooftop. The only downside was the location, its not accessible by car since its in the madina and you have to pass multiple alley ways to find the entrance. It's impossible to find without help, so make sure to contact the staff in advance so they can meet you and help with your luggage. Overall, i had a lovely stay and would recommend the riyad for anyone looking for a luxury and comfortable stay in Marrakech.
The Riad is so beautiful with quality appointments throughout . My wife did the cooking class with the chef and loved it. Finding it at night can be tricky but it’s a jewel worth seeing.
The riad is beautiful, is awesome. The problem is that is not easy to find and is not very near from the plaza of Marrakech. I think is difficult to arrive with taxi or walking. But the place is awesome.

Ancient 12 century property - from the main road you walk thru narrow tunnel to get to the “guest house” No access to a car or door to door service - someone has to drag your luggage to the place, which can be long….

Location was Awful
We were dropped off by our taxi driver which was booked via Expedia and then he rang the hotel and we had to walk through some back alleys which took us approximately 25 minutes to arrive. The actual Riad was down some extremely dark alley, and as three young ladies we felt extremely unsafe. We very rarely left the Riad and when we did we had to ask a member of staff to accompany us. We were nearly assaulted by someone who we thought was being kind and taking us back to our hotel as we were lost only to be told we had to pay him. I would never again go to this hotel. This has most definately been the worst experience. We also booked a triple room and when we arrived was told that only a room for 2 was booked. I will be making a formal complaint about this.

Very Unsatisfied Customer
Me and my partner had a lovely time here. The Riad itself is truly a beautiful gem and the location is very central for the Medina. It is though slightly off the beaten path to get to, down back alleys but the value for money of the quality of the property once you get past this is great.
The staff were very happy to help and the manager Sylvia was a delightful eccentric. I would recommend booking your own excursions in advance of going as the hotel ones are quite expensive. Though we did book through them the walking tour for our first morning which was a good orientation. The guide collects you from the hotel and takes you around.
The airport transfer is more expensive than taxi from the airport but without this the Road would be very hard to find.
We found the property to be very clean and well kept in consideration that is a 18th century Riad in a market, not a best western in Milwaukee.
I would say the Riad is a strong 4* experience and considering the price point this is appropriate. We very much enjoyed our stay. The hotel could improve in some aspects to be a truly stunning 5* but this would carry with it added costs that would have taken it beyond our budget for this trip so we were very happy!
I have seen some other negative comments regarding the Riad with certain things picked up as negative, if you are precious and are expecting a $2000 a night experience then I am afraid you will have to pay for this.
I recently stayed at this so-called "architectural jewel” in the historical district of Medina in Marrakech Morocco which claims to be a converted 18th-century palace. Unfortunately, my experience was far from what the photos and website led me to expect. This property is outdated and in dire need of renovations. The pictures on the hotel’s website are highly misleading, and some of them do not even represent the actual property, giving a false illusion of luxury and ambiance.
One of the most frustrating issues was with the heating. Every night, the heat in my room did not work, leaving the space cold and uncomfortable. When I expressed my concerns about the cold room, a space heater was provided, but only after considerable inconvenience. Each time I left the room, the heater was removed, and I had to ask for it again. It wasn’t until my final night that a technician came to repair the heating system, but by then, it was too late to make a difference.
The hotel is located in a narrow, dreary alleyway, beneath what seemed like a tunnel or dungeon. It’s not accessible by vehicle, which wasn’t made clear before my arrival. This made carrying luggage or returning to the hotel particularly difficult, especially since you have to climb 25 steep stairs just to reach the room. There are no phones in the rooms and no way to reach the staff without walking down the stairs to make a request. The staff never answered the phone when I called from my cell phone, nor responded to email
Otroligt vacker riad med exceptionell service. Personalen är alltid tillmötesgående, hjälper en att hitta rätt i staden och erbjuder många fina tjänster som hamam, massage och utflykter.
Vi hade gärna tillbringat mer än våra 2 nätter här då vi trivdes väldigt bra. Gigantisk takterrass med utsikt över staden där också en frukost avnjuts varje morgon till fågelkvitter.
Bilderna gör inte riaden rättvisa, den är ännu vackrare i verkligheten.
It is a beautiful raid , nice service , room is so exotic.
We will come back again

The smell of Mould and aromatic candles / perfume was very strong in our room and spoilt our stay. We opened the doors and windows as soon as we entered the room but this did little to dissipate the odour. We also found the music in the communal areas annoying.
We would highly recommend that you use the car service provided by the hotel.
The tunnel is intimidating on arriving but you soon get use to it and this adds to the experience.
The breakfast was really nice. The rooms are beautiful and clean and the roof terrace is great.
If you book with Expedia they do not make it clear that there is a tourist tax to be paid in cash on checking out.

The best Road I've stayed at. In top top condition and staff was very hospitable. Walking there was interesting, need to know the path. Food was excellent and service was unsurpassed!
This place is really hard to find and around the area is not so safe I booked it 4 nights and I stayed there 1 night I wanted to leave the place but the owner lady refused to give me my refund thank god I bought insurance through Expedia don’t go there that owner lady sylvi is not nice at all
Beautiful Riad experience in the Medina of Marrakech. The owner was gracious and took personal interest in our needs. Comfortable beds, good climate control, amazing high ceilings. We especially liked the breakfast service on the roof deck in the mornings. The Medina with shops and restaurants were just outside our door. We walked all over Marrakech from there.

We stayed for 3 nights and the look of the Riad was great except for the tunnel you have to go through to get there but we used Nadir House hotel as a way to always find the tunnel to get to the Riad as that can be very difficult.
Service from the waiter who works at the Riad was great throughout our stay and he helped us whenever needed which was a plus.
Positives - within 5 - 15 mins walk to the main souks and Jem Al Fna
Negatives - Restaurant was ridiculously overpriced and dinner was not cooked on the inside so wouldn't recommend at all.
Pool really needs a clean, since it had a terrible smell when we were there.
All in all it was fine for our stay.
