From our first e-mail enquiry (answered within hours) to booking us our taxi to the airport, the service at Riad Merstane was flawless. The staff operate in a relaxed, friendly but very efficient manner, nothing is too much trouble. While we were there Kate (one of the owners) happened to be staying and she is an excellent resource for all... more

Travelling with children aged 9 and 13, Riad Merstane was a haven in a friendly, authentic locality of the Marrakech medina. The beds are comfortable, the plumbing works and there are quiet comforts - a well-stocked English language library, card and board games, internet access, a salon, shady nooks and crannies and a huge roof terrace with lovely plants and... more

We stayed in this riad (booked via the HipMarrakech website) for a few days. It is small and homely and full of character, in a non-touristy part of the city. It has a lovely small courtyard, where breakfast (and dinner by request) is served, a first floor sitting room, and a nice roof terrace. The house staff are very helpful,... more

First impressions on walking into the Riad were how beautiful it is, I had no idea what to expect so was quite taken aback. The Staff were all lovely, Rachid the house manager took us out to the local... more

I recently stayed at the Riad Merstane with a group of friends and had an extremely pleasurable stay at this delightful guesthouse gem. The riad is located in the north of the medina, a 15-minute stroll from the hustle and bustle of the tourist-filled main square (though right on the doorstep of a magical 'locals only' market - Fridays only!).... more

And so peaceful and relaxing. The staff couldn't have been friendlier or done any more for us. They really made our trip more memorable. The food was amazing (and... more
