We stayed here for a couple of nights and would never stay here again. We didn’t know what to expect as it was our first time in a Riad but since we have stayed in a few different Riad‘s, and this was by far the worst.

Our stay in Marrakesh
It was a last minute booking . And the price was cheap so I guess we get what we pay for. Chris was a really nice guy even though he speaks only French we managed to communicate. The service was very basic. So don’t expect much such as room service etc.. Also during our stay the room was so cold i had to sleep wearing my coat. We tried to turn the AC on but I guess it wasn’t working properly or we didn’t know how to use it . I didn’t bother asking to see how it works because we would come late at night and did’t want to wake Chris up . The rooms are next to each other so you’d hear the doors closing/ opening and one night I think new guests arrived and we were asleep . It was very annoying as they were talking right next to our room and it wasn’t pleasant at all. We woke up really frightened as we thought someone was coming into our room. Other than that the place was close to basically everything . The price was cheap compared to other Riads . I wouldn’t personally stay there again but It’s not that bad for someone on a budget. Thank you Chris

Not as advertised.
I really wanted to love this Riad, but it was not as described, resulting in disappointment. First, it was very hot when we arrived in Marrakech, and the mini split in the room did not work. The owner brought in a fan. Also, part of the reason I booked Riad Harmattan is because the description stated that English was spoken - that was not correct. I do not speak French, so I was unable to communicate with the owner. The room was dark and certainly in need of a fresh coat of paint. The bed was not comfortable, and the linens were so old that you could actually see through them. We were leaving early the next morning so are unable to comment on the breakfast. If I spoke French, I may been able to ask for another room, and it might have been in better repair. I had reservation to stay again after our return from a desert tour, but cancelled and found some else to stay.

The Riad has all the basic amenities you need, clean sheets, comfortable bed, hot water, excellent service, friendly staff and a great location. But the some areas of the Riad are in need of repair and could be tidier. If you arrive at night, definitely arrange a transfer with the hotel, it was excellent value. Overall it was good value.

If you want to stay in a traditional Moroccan home, this is an excellent one. Make sure that you know a little French as the family does not know English. I felt very relaxed and secure. It has AC, a beautiful courtyard, and several cats. (Marrakech has cats EVERYWHERE.). It’s a little hard to find at first, but in a great spot in town.

Nice little Riad. Very quiet at night and only a few guests. Bit difficult to find, but once you are familiar with the location it’s easy. Would probably recommend taking up the airport taxi arrangements with the riad, which worked well. Overall a pleasant stay. Thanks !

I only stayed at small hours here, from 1 in the morning to 6 in the morning, so I didn't get to really explore the food. However, the proprietor was very polite, agreed to send a taxi to pick me up from the airport and met me at a place that the taxi could set me down. This was my first time in Marrakech, so the visual impact of heading into a room with those lamps was like walking into Aladdin's cave, it was impressive. Unfortunately when you are in the centre of the Riad you can smell the souk outside, which spoils it. I also had a dripping tap and a shower that wouldn't provide hot water. However the host was very gracious, the food was good and the wifi worked very well.

Beautiful but...
When I arrived, I was told you don't have a room. I proved my reservation and got it finally. The room wasn't ready and we had to ask for bed sheets. The suite is beautifully decorated but it smells and requires better cleaning and renovation.The room does not have private bathroom and bugs can be found too. I cancelled my other night. For breakfast you get freshly squeezed orange juice, omelette and other local baked goods.

Quiet and relaxing riad, great location...no pool
An amazing riad in the heart of the Medina. We loved the rooftop terrace, breakfast and the turtles. The room was quiet (we didn’t get woken by morning prayer) and very relaxing. Only caution is that there are certain things listed as “on the property” such as a pool that are clearly not. I anticipated this from the photos so wasn’t surprised. I mentioned this to the owner he said he does not manage this information and is not able to update it. I was a bit surprised by this...
