Riad experience

We had an authentic Riad experience living at this property in marrakech. The courtyards with plants, bird aviary and swimming pool as well. the staff were friendly and served us a great breakfast overlooking the courtyard. I had booked 2 rooms here. one for myself and one for my senior parents. when I arrived I was given 2 rooms on the first floor. since this was a riad, there are no elevators and a windy staircase to go upstairs. this did not suit my parents as negotiating lugagge and stairs was not an option. at first they told me there was no downstairs room available. then I called the manager. He would not refund me my money, stating where will he get a booking at this late hour. but did offer me one ground floor suite for my parents, for an extra 100 E for the 2 days. This room was much much better. with an upgraded bathroom. so we took it. my advice make sure to specify you want ground floor or first floor rooms when you book. we had no issue with the plumbing. but furniture and rooms could be updated a bit for this property.

Riad in Marrakech in May 2018

The Riad is unbelievably beautiful. It's an oasis from the chaotic streets nearby. The location is at approximately 10 minutes walking from the main square and market areas, which I thought was a good distance. I would not have wanted to stay in the medina. It is old, so the bathrooms are a little rustic, but, the rest of the facility makes up for it. Breakfast is great and is included. Friendly staff.

Great for personal or business

We had a lovely time at Riad dar el Assafir. The proprietor was extremely accommodating to our requests and needs. Our only minor complaint is that the wifi did not work in the Apartment area we rented. But kitchen staff were wonderful and the building is charming. It's great to be close to the Medina but not lost in the mazes of the souks. Would recommend!

Nice hotel close to the main attractions

The hotel is situated slightly off the main hustle and bustle, which is good as everything still is at walking distance. The hotel was empty during our stay so somewhat a bit too quiet and the small pool is not useful in winter months. Staff is very friendly and helpful. May be slightly over priced as well.

Ein wirklich schönes Riad, das sehr zentral gelegen ist. Bis zum Platz Jemaa El Fna geht man etwa 10 Minuten. Das Personal ist sehr zuvorkommend und immer freundlich. Die Zimmer sind zum Innenhof gelegen und somit sehr ruhig. Toller Pluspunkt ist auch der Pool! Zum Frühstück gibt es frische marokkanische Pfannkuchen und süßes Brot (ähnlich wie Brioche) mit Marmelade und Schmierkäse. Für mich als „süße Frühstückerin“ perfekt, wer es gerne herzhaft mag, sollte dies vielleicht bei der Buchung beachten.

Nur kleines Zimmer statt bestätigte Suite erhalten

Wir hatten eine Suite gebucht und vorausbezahlt, die gemäss Buchungsbestätigung 4 Schlafräume sowie einen separaten Wohnbereich und einen Essbereich bieten sollte. Die Grösse der Suite war mit 35m2 angegeben. Nach unserer Ankunft im Hotel wurde uns vom anwesenden Personal Zimmer Nr. 6 mit einer Fläche von 19m2 zugewiesen, in dem sich ein Zusatzbett für unseren in der Reservation angemeldeten 7jährigen Sohn befand sowie ein von uns nie bestelltes Babybett. Die Rezeption war nicht besetzt und die einzig anwesenden, 2 mit Frühstück und Reinigung beauftragten Frauen wiesen uns das erwähnte Zimmer zu. Das Zimmer bestand aus einem einzigen, engen Raum. Unsere sofortige Reklamation hatte keine Folgen. Man erklärte uns, das enge Zimmer 6 sei das von uns reservierte Zimmer und basta. Als eine Stunde später der Administrator an der Rezeption zu sprechen war, beschwerten wir uns bei ihm, zeigten ihm unsere Reservationsbestätigung und erklärten ihm, dass diese ausdrücklich mehrere Zimmer erwähnt. Er liess sich nicht dazu bewegen, uns ein unserer Reservation entsprechendes Zimmer zuzuweisen und zeigte uns einzig ein noch kleineres Zimmer, in dem nicht einmal Platz für ein Zustellbett gewesen wäre. Die Rezeption war meistens unbesetzt und am Abreisetag war niemand in der Lage, uns ein Taxi zu bestellen. Das Zimmer war schlecht unterhalten (z.B. im Bad nur 1 von 3 Leuchten in Betrieb) und z.B. Toilettenpapier und Trinkwasser wurden erst auf ausdrückliche Aufforderung ersetzt.

Rummet var fint och traditionellt. Det låg nära till turistattraktioner. Tyvärr fungerade duschen dåligt. Det fanns ingen personal på plats när vi skulle checka ut tidigt på morgonen och vi hade förbokat taxi från boendet till flygplatsen som aldrig dök upp.

Tres beau riad reflète tout à fait le descriptif

Riad accueillant très beau agréable dépaysement total et calme tout en étant proche des activités séjour avec mes enfants de 11 et 5 ans et je recommande ! !!!! Personnel aux petits soins tout en etant tres discret et tres serviable. Je tiens à préciser car j'avais vu des photos et des remarques négative sur l'eau de la piscine en faite le petit carreaux du fond sont foncé ce qui donne une mauvaise impression car nous sommes habitués à des carreaux clair mais l'eau de la piscine est tout à fait niquel alors n'hésitez pas à y plonger !

Riad très moyen

Piscine impraticable a cause d'une eau trouble et glaciale. On a pu bénéficier d'une assez jolie chambre car presque personne dans le Riad, pas de télé et la wifi fonctionnait à peine ... Petit déjeuner minimum pain et café qu'on a oublié de nous servir le jour du départ.

Beautiful Riad in the Medina of Marrakesch

Very nice Riad. We had rented the suite with several sleeping rooms. Good kitchen for private dining, too. We would choose this place again.
