First of all i've like to note that the fee noted at hotels.com isn't the fee you'll end up paying because the hotel will charge you with some extra taxes (somewhat 25 % of the price on hotels.com). Off course it's our problem as the buyer of such a stay to note the text with little letters, but i've never experienced such extra taxes before and found it disgracefull.
The staff was nice enough, but not really good at english which would have helped a lot. When asked about what to see outside Marrakesh, which in itself is an absolutely horrible city which we're never going back to, we were just refered to some board with a small variety of tours which we found somewhat expensive and inadeccuate. We ask the hotel staff where they normale are going when then go for a picknick and with what kind of transport and so on, but again there just refered to the board.
well, in the end we took a 2 day trip to the city Essaouri, which is a much nicer city, because we couldn't stand marrakesh any longer, but when we came back to this riad, someone had taken a s**t in our toilet and the s**t was actually still in the toilet and absolutely unflushably because of it's huge size! we ovbiously complained and got to change room for that last night.
our room was the smallest of their rooms and it had no window, and even though we were the only guests in the riad we were not allowed to change room, only if we'd pay more.
The aircondition in our room was airconditioning, it was just one of those propel-things, and it was half broken so it made a lot of noise which made it dificult to sleep.
the breakfast was pretty standard, some morrocan pancakes, a bit a bread and some tea and juice - i guess it was fine.
the riad in itself is nice, especially the court-yard with the small pool. But a minus is that the owner's son lives in the room just next to the pool and some off the days he had the telly going extremely loud while he himself was out taking a dip in the pool or resting in the courtyard - just a small annoyance, but it all adds up.
Overall my view of the riad could be twisted a bit towards all the negatives because of the fact that my girlfriend and I absolutely hated marrakesh as a city. If you expect to find a cheaper and closer destination, as a european, than india - then don't. You'll end up questioning yourself why you like india, and that bracked of countries, but still dislike this one.
even despite our resentment of the city I think that all the facts I've been able to add up about the riad makes it for a pretty bad review and I'll advice anyone who wants to go there to be aware of the extra charges they'll put on you.
