It’s situated just off a Main Street and feels very safe and the breakfast was amazing. Couldn’t recommend this enough, we only stayed 2 night but I could easily have stayed a week!"

"Our stay was disappointing. We paid $180.00 USD per night for a place where the cleanliness and operation left much to be desired. There were many cobwebs, the mini-fridge was filthy, as were the dishes. The sheets were stained, the shower water didn't drain, the shower head was broken, there was a strong sewage smell, and the air conditioning didn't work. The staff was very friendly and the breakfast was very good, but we definitely don't recommend it. We didn't like the hotel."

Frequently asked questions

What other neighbourhoods are similar to Medina?
While the Medina itself is unique, the neighborhoods most similar to the Medina in Marrakech are Kasbah and Mouassine, both of which are within or directly adjacent to the historic walls.

Kasbah, situated just south of the main Jemaa el-Fna square, offers a quieter yet still authentic experience. It's known for the historic Saadian Tombs and the El Badi Palace ruins, providing a glimpse into the city's past. The streets here are less crowded than the central Medina, making it a good option for couples seeking a more relaxed pace while still being close to attractions.

Mouassine, located northwest of Jemaa el-Fna, retains a strong residential character with many traditional riads tucked away in its narrow alleyways. It's home to the Mouassine Fountain and the Secret Garden, offering peaceful escapes.
