RIAD DAR FTOUMA

On our 1st day the Internet connection was so bad! Subsequently it stabilized! Decent breakfast is served every morning! Don’t expect an elaborate one! Generally clean! Not too far from Jma Al Fnaa! 25 mins walk! A few affordable eateries around the vicinity too! The passage way to the Riad May look deserted but it’s safe! There’s a 24 hour security guared guarding all the riads in that lane! They have rooms on the rooftop too! The Riads in Fes are much better in my opinion!

The rooms are nice and the location is really good but check your bill before you go as the stuff will try to add additional 'taxes' apart from the city tax. Also, do not eat in the hotel as they will charge you over £20 but couscous and do not let them organise a taxi or anything for you as it will be a rip-off and there are taxis everywhere. Do not think they have a swimming pool either it is just a tiny square of cold water although this was not a real issue for us.

This riad was just perfect for our stay. It was north from Jemaa el Fna (the main market place) and only approx 15min walk from it. Easy access and walking distance to many Marrakech sites (for example the main market, hammams, mosques, shopping etc) The location was quiet as this riad was not on a main street. If we walked back to this place in the evening, there was a police/guard following us from the main street until we got back safe. The room was cute and clean, quite small, but had all we needed. The room was decorared beautifully in Moroccan style. The riad itself was also very cute and clean with a nice rooftop terrace. Staff was super nice and friendly, always smiling and very helpful. We did few day trips and had to leave early in the morning so they were happy to serve us breakfast earlier as we asked for it. Could not have asked for more!
