Riad Africa

We arrived just after Morocco had won their worid cup game,the roads were packed taxi was suck.After some time we got to the drop off point.a boy then had the bags and we followed(he was from the hotel).the hotel is clean well keep and the staff are helpful and courteous,yes its a bit scuffy on the edges, but we are in morocco and 3star. breakfast was continental,and we found it very good. by the way when you walk in the souk the bike has the right of way, they do not stop,try and get small notes 20,50,100 d,also you will need a e-sim for your phone.Idid not and got hit with a 50 pound bill for 20 mins,i got holafly at 4pound a day. the plunge pool was a good meeting point ti was 43 degrees.

Hotel arranged transfer from hotel. The guy who walked us from taxi to Riad wouldn't accept my 100 MAD tip and insisted I pay more. Being late at night, dark down alleyway we had no choice so 200 MAD it was as no smaller notes yet. Room was VERY small. Curtains were fraid. Bathroom is tiny. Major concern over safe in room. It's not electric, just a key which you hand in to reception when you leave for the day. Only had breakfast once and honestly wouldn't bother. Location wise it's very good. Reception staff we dealt with were friendly. Riad done. If I return to Marrakesh it will be to a hotel.

I am going to be very honest with my review. If you want like a true Moroccan experience and do not want to feel like you could be anywhere in the world then a Riad is a good idea. It’s like staying in a Moroccan house. Very clean, you can have breakfast in the sunshine fresh juice traditional Moroccan breads etc. very close to Medina. There are a few negatives, however I slept very well and Ilyas, Faisal were both amazing. Terrace is nice and quiet at night also and the place though buried down many alleys is very very safe.
