Riad Rose Du Desert

Incredible service. Me and my girlfriend were warmly welcomed on our first night and served tea on arrival. Rooms were nice and clean with service provided during the day. There is also a presence at all times in case of need in the riad. I rarely write reviews but felt this place truly deserved one. We only had a 2 night stay planned but wished to stay an extra day in Marrakesh, they managed to accomodate us and get us another night in a different room. The breakfast served was good and sufficient and the setup/ambiance allows you to either sit on couch or far from other travellers or sit at the main center table if you want to chat and meet others. The wifi is good, and the staff was beyond accomodating with also no hassle or pressure. It felt calm and away from the typical vendors or people trying to offer you services for money. We even brought up ourselves the possibly of travelling to ouarzazate and beyond all the way to Merzouga to the manager and we had a honest conversation on the different options that locals or tourists could use with the manager from taxis, bus, rental cars, tours etc. He took the time to talk to us with what seemed to us no intent to sell a particular service or option. We came back the next day and informed him of our plans, he organized what we wanted at a very reasonable price. On top of it, I would consider the price of the room quite reasonable. Location is ideal in my opinion for a Marrakech trip as, the roads around are easy to navigate and safe plus, the distances to the sites are manageable by walk even though probably not the closest. It is also walkable from the modern side of the city on arrival/outside the medina. We arrived by train and it took us I believe half an hour from the station. The appeal of a Marrakesh trip is to walk around and the distance seemed perfect for us. They also provided a small map and gave us recommendations to see around the city.

Incredible experience, would recommend. We stayed in both their buildings. They accepted our credit card but, if you plan on asking help to book other services beyond the room, I recommend bringing extra cash to cover the expenses.

Lovely place, 5 minutes walk to the souks and museums, set in a quiet street. You're around 10/15 minutes walk to the Main Square Jemaa el-Fnaa. Gorgeous room and bathroom! I enjoyed breakfast here and chilled on the roof terrace with a book some days. The main thing for me, a female travelling alone, was that I felt very safe and looked after here. The manager gave me good basic advice for how to get by in Marrakech, but reassured me I was safe, and I did feel it. The staff were so friendly too. I really recommend this place. I found it very reassuring to book the return taxi with them, who brought me to and from the riad. Trust me, do it! I also booked some excursions through the Riad, which were very well organised, and I was taken from my door too!
