At the beginning we were frustrated because of the location, you have to walk 2 minutes to get to the Riad, but after we check in Kacem was very nice and helpful. We really recommend this Riad. Great location, great price and lovely staffs.

The Riad has all the basic amenities you need, clean sheets, comfortable bed, hot water, excellent service, friendly staff and a great location.
But the some areas of the Riad are in need of repair and could be tidier.
If you arrive at night, definitely arrange a transfer with the hotel, it was excellent value.
Overall it was good value.

If you want to stay in a traditional Moroccan home, this is an excellent one. Make sure that you know a little French as the family does not know English. I felt very relaxed and secure. It has AC, a beautiful courtyard, and several cats. (Marrakech has cats EVERYWHERE.). It’s a little hard to find at first, but in a great spot in town.

We stayed here for a couple of nights and would never stay here again. We didn’t know what to expect as it was our first time in a Riad but since we have stayed in a few different Riad‘s, and this was by far the worst.

It is very old. Rundown. Need big need for renovation (bedsheets, faucets, shower, sinks, flooring, walls, air condition). Manager pretends to be helpful and asks manager and basically nothing happens.

Not as advertised.
I really wanted to love this Riad, but it was not as described, resulting in disappointment. First, it was very hot when we arrived in Marrakech, and the mini split in the room did not work. The owner brought in a fan. Also, part of the reason I booked Riad Harmattan is because the description stated that English was spoken - that was not correct. I do not speak French, so I was unable to communicate with the owner. The room was dark and certainly in need of a fresh coat of paint. The bed was not comfortable, and the linens were so old that you could actually see through them. We were leaving early the next morning so are unable to comment on the breakfast. If I spoke French, I may been able to ask for another room, and it might have been in better repair. I had reservation to stay again after our return from a desert tour, but cancelled and found some else to stay.

Our stay in Marrakesh
It was a last minute booking . And the price was cheap so I guess we get what we pay for.
Chris was a really nice guy even though he speaks only French we managed to communicate.
The service was very basic. So don’t expect much such as room service etc.. Also during our stay the room was so cold i had to sleep wearing my coat. We tried to turn the AC on but I guess it wasn’t working properly or we didn’t know how to use it . I didn’t bother asking to see how it works because we would come late at night and did’t want to wake Chris up .
The rooms are next to each other so you’d hear the doors closing/ opening and one night I think new guests arrived and we were asleep . It was very annoying as they were talking right next to our room and it wasn’t pleasant at all. We woke up really frightened as we thought someone was coming into our room.
Other than that the place was close to basically everything . The price was cheap compared to other Riads . I wouldn’t personally stay there again but It’s not that bad for someone on a budget.
Thank you Chris

C'était bon en général. Seulment isoler les portes et fenetres parce qu'il peut faire froid pendant la nuit et reparer la porte de la salle de bain de la suite parce qu'il se bloque contre le sol

Accueil très sympathique, nous avons apprécié le fait de pouvoir allumer le chauffage et avoir des couettes en plein milieu de la nuit, très bon petit déjeuner le seul petit bémol est que l’accès au Riad est un peu compliqué mais heureusement avec le plan tout va bien

Nunca nos hospedamos em um Riad. Tivemos dificuldades em chegar ao endereço, pois o taxi não nos deixou na porta. Fomos muito bem recebidos, com chá e biscoitos típicos. A princípio não tivemos uma boa impressão do Riad por se tratar de uma construção antiga e tivemos que subir alguns lances de escadas. Mas tivemos boa estadia. estadia boa est
