The owner of this property will greet you when you arrive and give you a detailed breakdown of the medina in Marrakech as well as a map. He provides very helpful tips on where to go and what to avoid and what the prices are for some of the tourist attractions. He is a native French speaker so it would be good to brush up on your French, but does understand English. I would stay at his riad again if I am back some day. The breakfast he provides is top notch. I enjoyed the fresh juice and mint tea as well as the other items. It is a light breakfast, but enough for me since I am a smaller person. For others with a bigger appetite, a follow up meal in the medina may be desired. Not a big deal since restaurants are relatively cheap for European and American tourists. Marrakech is quite the experience.

We had a lovely stay in January. Giles and the other members of staff were so helpful. They made us vegan options every morning for breakfast, including a delicious cake. I'd definitely recommend staying here as it was fantastic value for money.

My husband & I loved everything about this beautiful Raid, the location is very safe, quiet and only a small walk to the hectic square. The rooms are large and beautifully decorated and Giles and his staff were so friendly and hopefully. Two mornings we had an early start and it was no trouble for them to provide early breakfast which was very delicious. Staying at the Raid is a must when visiting Marrakech.

We had never stayed in a Riad before so it was a new experience. But it was great. Would definitely stay here again. This place is great value and Gilles and the staff are really helpful. Lots of nice touches like slippers and bathrobes. Yes you can find a Riah which is more luxurious, at a cost, but for us it was great

Pre Christmas in Marrakech

Had the riad pretty much all to ourselves for the duration of our stay. Ideally locally in a quiet area but only a few minutes walk to the souks and 10 minutes walk to the main square.

Perfect stay

We had an amazing stay at this Riad, Gilles and his team was always making sure we had everything we needed, and, traveling with a toddler means you sometime have different needs. The Riad Is so peaceful, the rooms are very spacious and the breakfast was delicious! We ate also dinner there one evening and it was very good as well. We will definitely come back to Marrakech and stay here again.
