    clean accommodations
    dripping air conditioning
    small towels

    Very clean accommodations with cute staff.

    The air conditioning dripped constantly, uncomfortable at times. The towels provided were unusually small. There was no turndown service available throughout the week, which reminded me of a missed opportunity for a more luxurious experience.

    The Riad is beautiful and spotlessly clean. The staff is very nice and efficient, catering for every wish and willingly providing useful info and tips regarding the visit to Marrakech. It is just a 10 min simple walk to Jema el Fna and yet the riad is an oasis of quietness and relaxed atmosphere. Right next to the riad there is a fantastic and fancy Haman, wish is also highly recommended. Therefore, great location, great chioce. I certainly recommend it without any reservation.

    Malika, the manageress (owner?), was very friendly and went out of her way to tell us about the city and surrounding areas. Felt comfy and safe throughout. All of the rid is very tastefully designed...just like you'd imagine a place out of 1001 nights.

    Actually, everything was perfect. By the way, the pancakes at breakfast were simply delicious!

    delicious breakfast
    great location

    The super nice team and offered mint tea upon arrival. The breakfast was fantastic and served right at my pre-arranged table every morning. The room was spacious and comfortable. Plus, it's just a short walk to the main attractions and a great local restaurant nearby. A lovely stay 😊

    The rooms are nicely decorated with spacious bathrooms. The breakfast is exceptionally good for good coffee, had great food. The location of the hotel is magnificent, short walk to the old town, restaurants and the medina and the square.

    amazing hospitality
    firm mattress

    The hospitality of the staff was amazing, and

    I felt welcomed right. Madame met us at the taxi, and her warm demeanor set the tone for my stay. The Riad's location is both quiet and convenient, just minutes from the bustling square. The room was comfortable. The mattress was a bit too firm for my liking. I also appreciated the delicious breakfast served daily on the terrace, although the options were slightly repetitive.

    The host was lovely and the breakfasts were delicious. But the location was a bit hard to find and the mattress was super firm. A sweet time.

    Great location, 10 minutes to the main square. Very clean, nice staff and good breakfast.

    It was difficult to find, since walking through the medina is like entering a maze, but the hotel near to the city center and most of the tourist attractions.

    The breakfast was amazing, traditional dishes and can be eaten in the terrace, a beautiful place with great architecture. The lady who runs the hotel is very receptive and tries her best to speak English and help the guests with suggestions of which places to visit. It is located a 15min walk to the main square and very close to an amazing hammam, surely a must go place in Marrakesh. Riad Sesame is very small and traditional, nice to get a feeling of the Moroccan culture.

    We had reserved especifically Camelia Suite, with 2 beds (twin room). We were given a double room and had to share the bed, and didn't have the possibility of changing into the suite we had initially reserved for the first 2 nights. The Riad is in a little alley, seemed a bit dangerous at night, but I guess that is what most Riads in the Medina are like.

    broken showerhead

    The staff welcomed me by name, made my stay feel special.

    The bathroom had a broken showerhead, made showering a bit inconvenient.

    The best choice in Marracesh! It was our second time in Marracesh and we decided to spent 2 days at this Riad. Great rooms and great hosts, the 2 ladies we would never forget, made us feel like home. Breakfast was delicious and nothing was too much trouble to Malika. However the main square was near, the Riad lies in a quiet place which gives us a good night sleep. The rooms were authentically Moroccan and spotlessly clean. The great hamam&spa is almost next door in same street, where you can relax all day!
