It was our first trip to Marrakesh and unfortunately for us, we chose to stay in the Medina. It’s a very noisy, dirty, colourful area that is full on craziness the whole time.
Our Riad was half way up the Rue De La Kasbah, about a 15 minute walk to the main square. Access was via a very dirty alleyway.
The whole area is generally noisy, filthy and bustling with people, cars, exhaust fumes and tons of mopeds that drive quickly through the narrowest of lanes, many oblivious to pedestrians.
With hindsight, we should have just visited this area, preferably at night and definitely not stayed there.
The Riad was nicely arranged with a small indoor pool, which we didn’t use and our spacious room was on the first floor. There was no basic facilities in the room like bottled water, tea/coffee making or a TV.
The whole room requires updating, especially the bathroom, where water from the bath taps leaked onto the floor and the shower hose was very old and frayed. Lighting in the room was not very bright but the lamp shades were beautiful.
Khalid the manager and his colleagues were very friendly and helpful. The room was always cleaned on time.
