Airport transfer went pretty well. Loved Osama (sp?) who was our contact - seems like he's a manager. Online pictures are way nicer than the reality. Our room was dark, dreary, worn, dusty and not super clean. When taking a shower water splashed all over the floor - needed a shower door/curtain. Small uncomfortable (hard) bed. Floors, rugs, blankets, decorative pillows, etc. felt/looked/smelled dirty. Riad was an interesting building but felt very worn - stained cushions on chairs, weeds, stained blankets covering sofas, etc. Upstairs rooftop area is dusty and vacant, checked it out and never went back up there. Breakfast was nothing like the pictures, very limited. But it was Ramadan and the price was only 500 MAD, so maybe that's the reason?

Nice plan... tricky to find
Othman who worked there was great as Marrakech is an extremely difficult place to navigate. Book this place if you're ok with an adventure and potentially getting lost. The place itself is very nice and if Othman is still working there when you stay it is worth it as he is so helpful. Research lots before you head to Marrakech it can be quite daunting at times but we really enjoyed it.

Liked: Cleanliness
The room was smaller and with no city views than it said in the booking confirmation. The check in time was very slow. The most unbelievable thing is that they said they would accept CASH payment only because they do not have a credit card machine. But this ‘cash’ only thing was neither mentioned in the website nor in booking confirmation. Would definitely not recommend this riad to others.

Pretty Good
This Riad surprisingly quiet once you step inside, and there is a very nice terrace. The hotel managers went above and beyond to be helpful. it is extremely difficult to find the first couple times so I would recommend arranging a pick up the first time or late at night. My only criticism is that you're required to pay in cash, which I found inconvenient when there are many other options that allow you to pay online.

Die Unterkunft liegt bereits in der autofreien Zone. Französischer Betreiber daher recht europäisch. Wir waren sehr gerne Gast im Dar Bounouar Die Dachterasse ist klasse. Das Frühstück französisch karg. Die Lage ist sehr gut. Die Innenhöfe laden zum verweilen ein.

Riad beau, calme et agréable dans un quartier populaire à deux pas des souks et à 10min à pied de la place Jama El Fna. Penser à appeler l'hôtel avant de se présenter. Possibilité de laisser la voiture dans la medina à Bab Aylan, au niveau du jardin Aaouda Saadia. 50 dh/nuit à négocier avec le gardien du trottoir.

Perfect hotel, good manager , good location
we had a lovely stay with two couples in this Riad. Just 10 minute walk to the big square. The manager Othman was very polite, he give us many tips for visiting Marrakesh . He also showed us the first evening the way to walk to the big square. We recommand this hotel to everybody also a good breakfast.

Das Hotel entspricht in keiner Hinsicht der Beschreibung. Der Transfer vom Flughafen klappte nicht, Bezahlung nur un bar, Hotelpersonal nur zeitweise anwesend, Dusche und Bad nur begrenzt, da kein warmes Wasser, ein Tag wurde das Zimmer gar nicht gereinigt, Bettwaesche in 5 Tagen keinmal gewechselt....und so weiter.Zum Schluss hatte man sich nochmal eben um 100 € verrechnet.

You have to know before you go
Hotel is a very small house in a small road that you cant go by car. You have to carry your luggages 1 mile by yourself to reach the hotel. The area seems very dangerous you cant walk alone after the dark becouse you have to pass too many dark holes to reach the house. Price is too much for that small smelly room. Area is an old small bazaar for local people and it is far drom the touristic roads.

Un experiencia marroquí.
El hotel es muy bonito, bien decorado, con una piscina fantástica que hace que te relajes después de un día en la Medina. Asusta la entrada, pero es normal, es Marrakesch, calle estrecha y sombría, una vez que abres la puerta la cara se ilumina. Para vivir una experiencia propia, en el centro de la Medina merece la pena. La habitación con aire se agradece, la piscina formidable y el trato de Joseph y del dueño hacen que la experiencia merezca la pena.
