The breakfast was good. If I could give this riad 0 stars, I would. The riad is down a back alley with no signage. They tell you to follow signs for le bain bleu, but that doesn’t take you to where the riad is. If you’re lucky to find the entrance, the “sign” for the riad is written “kharez” sloppily on a wall in paint. To make matters worse, I received a “welcome” text from the owner telling me there would be a 20€ charge for late arrivals. This is not mentioned anywhere on their booking.com page and that was admitted to me by the owner. My flight got in late and had I known that there would be a charge I would have booked somewhere else. While at the riad, I wanted to ask the woman working there two questions: if we could do breakfast and if I could stay an hour past check out on the day I left. I called for her from the ground floor of the riad and she was nowhere to be found after breakfast was served. The next day, when I was supposed to check out, I FINALLY saw her during breakfast. I asked her if I could check out at twelve and she agreed. I went back to my room to rest and shower, and at 11:20 I hear her yelling at me through the door to check out while I’m in the shower. I explain that I asked her for late check out just that morning and she says she didn’t understand. It seemed pretty clear to me when she said okay to my question and nodded her head that she did understand. I even repeated the question back to her, as I know English isn’t everyone’s first language, and she confirmed it was okay. When I spoke about my issues with the owner, she rudely brought up the fact that I am American, but the irony of this is that the owner doesn’t even live in Morocco, but in BELGIUM. This riad turned my what should have been a relaxing time in Marrakesh into a mess, and I wouldn’t recommend this place to my worst enemy.

Breakfast was wonderful! Host was fantastic! Location was super! Beds sleep great, the place is quiet real relaxing in a busy environment! Water temperature can vary a little when more taps are open, but that's not a problem.

Our hostess Sadia and her husband are the highlight of our stay in riad. They were kind, professional and did everything they could to make us feel welcome. The patio is really beautiful and relaxing. Our room on the ground floor was covered in visible mold on the walls, and we could smell it as soon as we entered. The mold was so pervasive that I became ill and had to take medication even after leaving Morocco. I am not sure how the other rooms look like but that room should remain closed until a thorough renovation is completed.
