The roads to the Riad were concerning very run down. Upon arriving Riad looked ok. We were offered mint tea and biscuits whilst checking in. The stairs to our room were very steep, narrow and lacked appropriate hand rails in places. Could be concerning for elderly people. Our room looked nothing like the staged photos on the website. It was dark even with the light on. TV wasn’t tuned in so unusable. The safe didn’t work. Dodgy plug sockets which weren’t fixed to the walls so came out and sparked at times. The bathroom was concerning overall lack of cleanliness. When we arrived the shower didn’t work and neither did the tap. The toilet moved as not fixed. When the water was working it filled the tray which over ran and took literally hours to drain. Towels were of poor quality and discolored. On the plus side there was a kettle and fridge in our room and these worked. I read the breakfast menu and was looking forward to trying it. Upon arriving on the rooftop I noticed that everything apart from the cereal was uncovered. Bees were crawling over the honey, jam, cakes etc. Not very appetizing so only ate the cereal. The next day some of the items were covered but still not the cakes. Unfortunately the acoustics meant that all sound was amplified, so noisy guests talking and moving around frequently woke us sometimes in the middle of the night. I booked the cooking experience which was rather disappointing. We were just taken across the road to a supermarket then an actual market where we purchased coriander and parsley. The chickens were slaughtered for you and prepared, the smell was awful and very offputing. No mint tea ceremony or bread making as advertised on the webpage. I had been really looking forward to that. We prepared a tagine and dessert which was tasty. Booked another excursion to meet the Berbers. Had a private taxi to the Kasbah Africa in the Atlas Mountains, who weren’t even expecting us. Had to wait 90 minutes for our guide. The ‘easy walking trail’ was hard going and dangerous at times. Arrived at a house and offered mint tea and nuts but again no bread making as once again promised. We were able to have a very late lunch and swim. Having paid £144 for this experience I do not feel it was worth it.
We were both so impressed with how luxurious the hotel was, but most of all how friendly and attentive all the staff were. The cleaners always left our room in an immaculate condition, and the restaurant staff remembered us everyday morning and were charming and funny, especially Rashid. When we were checking out, another female member of staff, Wissal, was incredibly helpful and helped us find the most suitable taxi for us and spoke to the driver to make sure he knew where our Riad was.
Having booked flights to Marrakech, I was then tasked with finding somewhere to stay that was good quality but also on a budget. I wanted to stay in a Riad, but with so many options I spent countless hours trying to find a perfect balance of cost, culture and quality. I found it in Riad Khabia. Staying in central Marrakech (Medina), you have to expect that it’s not going to be the most picturesque of areas to walk through. The Riad is located just off a courtyard. At first, you may wander through the area wondering what you’ve booked, but the same can be said for anywhere in this area. As soon as you get inside the Riad, you are welcomed by warm and friendly staff and an amazing, traditional Moroccan building. We were given a tea and some cake and Rachid talked to us about the local area, and gave recommendations for restaurants and things to do. The hotel does offer the option to book tours however there was no pressure, which was nice. We booked a double, superior room, which was amazing. It was so welcoming, clean and classically decorated – it was just what I wanted from a visit to Marrakech. Towels and shampoo/shower gel are provided. You are also given a kettle, cups and tea/coffee. Breakfast is served between 8 and 11 each morning. As there are only 7 rooms in total, it is not a buffet style breakfast. Instead, they bring out everything fresh for you, usually within about 10 minutes of you sitting at a table. Each morning, you’re brought both orange juice and coffee (I asked for tea and they brought this for me), some form of freshly cooked egg, yoghurt, bread, condiments, fruit and a bakery item (pain au chocolat, cake etc). It’s such a nice touch that everything is brought out fresh. On the last night we had a massage at the hotel, which was 80 Euros for two people. This was able to be booked with only a couple of hours’ notice and was lovely after a few days walking around Marrakech. We didn’t use the pool – it was clean but cold. However we didn’t book the hotel to use the pool, so that didn’t bother us. We did make use of the roof terrace one evening. We also paid a small fee for some of our clothes to be washed as we travelled very light to avoid luggage costs on the flight – these were ready the same day. If I ever go back to Marrakech, I will certainly stay here again. Thank you to all the staff for making our stay so pleasant!
