I read the reviews for this riad and decided to book it thinking that it was perhaps overrated.
Please read all the previous reviews! All of them are telling the truth! Giles and his team are the best, most caring and wonderful people there could be! There is such a vibe when you walk in! They are softly spoken, very hospitable and caring without being pushy and they really look after you.
My luggage was lost (then delivered the following day) but it didn’t bother me at all. Giles gave me a toothbrush and toothpaste and suddenly there was no stress at all. I even had slippers!
The bedroom was gorgeous with good pillows, good linen, great air conditioning and fan facilities and a very comfortable bed.
The bathroom was also great with a very powerful shower, bathrobe and toiletries.
The WiFi was as powerful as the ones you get back home.
Breakfast was stunning with homemade jams, fresh fruit, fresh orange juice, Moroccan pancakes and even eggs if you want. The coffee couldn’t get any better.
Although it is only a few yards from a small souk, the place is calm, quiet and you can’t hear a thing from the outside world. Even coming back at night, be assured that it is a very secure place and there’s even a security booth just outside, with a security guard , not that you need it but just for reassurance.
I have been to Marrakesh many times and this was not my last one. I am certain I will be seeing Giles and his lovely “family” again as I won’t go anywhere else.
Thank you very much
