A beautiful Riyad with staff who couldn't have been more helpful. The location was brilliant - close to the action but tucked away. The restaurant is very highly regards sand we enjoyed excellent breakfasts and two very good dinners. The only problem with sound is that our room was opposite the kitchen and on the busy Saturday night the noise of pots and pans etc went on into the early morning. However, we would definitely go back again - we had a great holiday.

Th Riyad is an oasis in the centre of the Medina. From an alley you enter the door of the Riyad to see a long narrow pool - available for bathing - but a very beautiful feature surrounded by tiled floors and garden areas with seating. Going through to the main restaurant area in an open courtyard - covered in winter - is a delight. Tables set around a fountain full of fresh rose blooms. Trees, tiles, stone carved decoration and traditional rugs make up the decor. The food is prepared in house by the chef. His pastries are wonderful and the main menu offers Moroccan or Italian dishes. We ate there every evening which says a lot given the choice available in the medina. The restaurant goes by the name of Pepenero and is well patronised - around 40 covers. Our room was furnished in traditional style like the rest of the riyad and there are balconies and terraces available for residents' use. Only around 5 rooms in the riyad so never crowded. It's worth trying the hamman at no extrra charge. The temperature at night in january is similar to England so take a warm jumper and coat if you go in the winter, but in the day it is a very comfortable 20 plus - tee shirt weather. We did wonder if we would feel safe in the medina but this was not a problem. All the local people were friendly and helpful and as a lady I felt safe wandering the streets and squares on my own. Marrackech makes an ideal winter break - 3-31/2 hours flight from london and only 2 miles from the local airport. The hotel provided a free taxi service to and from the airport which was a big plus, because it is not easy to find your way in the medina at first. There are not many street signs. The taxi driver walked us to the hotel door. I would definitely stay at this riyad again. The staff at the riyad were friendly and helpful and the service was great.
