"Great property - really well located to the Jemaa el-fnaa. Hotel is lively and very quiet and just how you'd want a relaxing break to be. Staff are very helpful and assist in anything needed. If ai were to pick at any negatives - it would be some inconsistency in evening maid service and no water being delivered. An absolute minor issue. Definitely a good hotel to pick and no need to take taxis and centre and souks are all walking distance."

"10 stars, if possible, Pilar is beyond exceptional as a host, the Riad is spectacular in every way. Incredibly helpful in navigating Marrakech, I would not consider staying anywhere else. All the charm of the Medina is steps away, but upon entering the Riad you are transported into an oasis of luxury. The staff are kind and helpful without being intrusive.. I look forward to returning."
