The host and staff are incredibly friendly and helpful.The property like many Riads in the Medina is a little tricky to find at first. But, the location is very close to all the things you want to see. I'd happily stay again.

Nous avons loué la chambre pour 6 nuit. Nous avons pris la navette de l'aéroport aller / retour pour 35€ (tarif moyen haut) avec l'avantage d'être déposé au Riad. Vu l'exactitude de Google maps, ce n'est pas rien et ça se paye. Dîner à 17€ avec salade en entrée, tajine poulet citron (4 gros morceaux de poulet) et salade de fruit en dessert. C'est le prix moyen pour un menu. On peut facilement trouver moins cher, mais en arrivant de l'aéroport à midi, c'est un avantage lorsque c'est la première fois que l'on arrive. Les petits déjeuners sont très copieux avec quelques petits changements chaque jour. La chambre ne se trouvait pas dans ce Riad mais dans un autre à 30 mètres. Cependant, les repas se prenaient tous dans le premier. Dommage le matin pour ceux qui y dormaient. Il doit y avoir 2 voire 3 riads. C'est pour cette raison que nous n'y reviendrons pas. Est-ce nous, mais nous étions régulièrement 5 chambres pour déjeuner. Même si nous nous partagions quelques mots, il n'y a pas eu la même proximité que d'autres personnes ont rencontré dans leur ryad avec les gérants. Pour les excursions, impossible d'avoir de détails précis avec ou sans guide, donc nous ne sommes pas passer par eux. Systématiquement, ils font les intermédiaires avec les activités donc très compliqué pour avoir des renseignements et pas de contact direct.

Probably a typical Riad along a few alleyways. Set as 2 separate houses. Everything was basic but ok. Staff attentive and pleasant. Breakfast a mixture of cakes and batter-based pancakes plus small yogurt and sweet mint tea and coffee. Overall perfectly ok. We would next time (hypothetical only because we wouldn’t ever go back to Marrakech. Constant hassle and deceptive behaviour towards the “cash cow” tourists by most people you meet) spend more on a modern hotel because if we could afford it.

People are very friendly. Riad is cold - we had to eat breakfast in our coats (it's the same every day) rooms very dated and old. Lack of hot water. Impossible to park near riad. Iwouldn't return.

Initially, I thought it too far from the main square, but we found our way to everywhere we wanted to go..,thank you Google. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The tasty breakfast was very good. Wear good walking shoes in Marrakech and be sure to listen, as the alleys are used by pedestrians, motor bikes, donkey carts, etc. It’s a great city!

The staff at La Rose couldn't have been nicer. They were genuinely friendly and kind, and did all possible to ensure that I was comfortable. I would be glad to stay there again.

Youseff and his staff make you feel so welcome and offer you support to make the most of your time in Marrakech. Good trips on offer and there are well organised. I would suggest booking the taxi from the airport shich whilst maybe a little more expensive it will get you to the Riad first time. Not easy to find the Riad if you just turn up in Marrakech.

Wir waren für 5 Tage in diesem Riad und waren zufrieden. Auch wenn das erste Bild nicht in diesem Riad gemacht wurde muss man sagen, dass es sauber ist. Das Personal ist super freundlich, es wird alles unternommen, um den Aufenthalt angenehm zu gestalten. Wir haben einen Ausflug dort gebucht und worden bis zum Auto gebracht. Man sollte den Transfer zumindest dorthin buchen, man wird am Flughafen abgeholt und bis in die Unterkunft gebracht. Den angegebenen Deckenventilator gab es zumindest in unserem Zimmer nicht, auch keine Heizung, die man im Bad ggf. im Februar brauchen kann. Für das Bett gab es eine zusätzliche Decke. Unser Zimmer war leider auch etwas feucht, ich habe keine Vergleichsmöglichkeit, ob dies in allen Zimmern so war bzw. ob das in den alten Riads so ist. Das Frühstück war eine gute Grundlage, um die Sehenswürdigkeiten, die im Schnitt in 15 Minuten zu erreichen waren, zu erkunden. Die Umgebung war sicher.

8/10

A nice Riad in a perfect location. Only 10 minutes walk to the main square and about the same to the Souks. The staff were very friendly and they arranged a transfer for us from the airport which was brilliant. I have two bad comments. The first would be noise from other guests which woke us up regularly. Whilst this is not the fault of the hotel, more can be done to encourage guests to be quiet. The second was the smell of damp in the bathroom which was not pleasant. Breakfast was nice and there was a slight variance every day with plenty of coffee and mint tea on offer as well as freshly squeezed orange juice. For a short stay, this Riad is great. Prime location, friendly staff and at the right price.

10/10

Il riad è situato in posizione ideale nel cuore della Medina e questo permette di raggiungere tutti i principali luoghi d'interesse a piedi. Il proprietario Youssef ed il personale del riad sono molto gentili e disponibili. La colazione, ottima , è servita sulla graziosa terrazza del riad. Molto buona anche la cena con insalata marocchina, tajne di pollo e couscous di manzo e verdure . Le camere sono strette e lunghe, tipiche dei riad, ma il letto è grande, comodo, con bella biancheria... ovviamente non aspettatevi il lusso di un hotel 5 stelle. Noi abbiamo sfruttato anche il loro transfer da/per aeroporto. Affidabile e economico. In cconclusione esperienza sicuramente positiva.
