Having been to Morocco before and spent a significant amount of time there, I had high hopes for my first riad stay in Marrakech. I can say that Veronique and her staff are spectacular! The riad was gorgeous and centrally located (10-15 minute walk to Majorelle and Djemm el Fnaa) and the rooms exuded simple luxury and elegance. I would highly recommend that travelers take advantage of the airport/train station transfers that the riad offers - it will save you any headaches of (a) finding the riad and (b) dealing with the overtly zealous taxi drivers looking to to gain a fare. The staff was hip, young, and professional and made it feel like a home with friends rather than a hotel staff. I really cannot recommend this riad enough - it was a tranquil oasis of calm in Marrakech. It was beautiful, a terrific value, and a joy to stay at.

We stayed here for 3 nights and overall were pleased. The riad felt authentic and was beautifully decorated, with a warm and friendly atmosphere. We especially loved the refreshing pool.

The staff were equally friendly and welcoming however we only met one member of staff who could speak English and unfortunately she did not work at the weekend. Our French is ashamedly poor and this did present ongoing communication difficulties.

The riad was difficult to find and due to it being in a slightly less touristy area, we did experience a certain amount of hassle on the market street outside.

Stayed with 12 friends (all ladies) three nights in this ideally situated riad, and since there are 6 rooms, it was immediately privatized and that was super, for a riad, unlike any other hotel, is a private house with all rooms opening out to the central patio. So we invaded the property of Veronique, our charming hostess, who had everything super organized for us. Our wishes were: airport service in and out, eating "in" above on the terrace the first night (we were served a delicious couscous) - we also had a super breakfast in the morning, again on the roof terrace, each morning a different kind of pancake, fresh orange juice, coffee and super friendly Karim to serve us - next day a guide to show us the highlights of the city for the entire day, with a perfect lunch in a local but very young and modern restaurant "déjeuner à Marrakech", a "panoramic car", which turned out to be a Mercedes Viano, for a trip through the "three valleys", her idea, and a very good one, with lunch in a berber village (the mother of a friend cooked for us!), and a cheerful young driver "Zach", she helped us in every way possible, making reservations at the "café de la poste" and "al fassia", splendid restaurants. She also made sure we got our visa card back that was swallowed by the ATM at a local bank without any loss of time! All in all: she was the perfect host, it was the perfect riad and therefore "the perfect choice".
