If you are planning to visit morocco, DO NOT book this place. We were 4 travelers with a baby.They did not give us the room we booked at the first place. We arrived morocco little late because of the time differences, we even sent them our flight information still they did not hold the rooms for us. This place does not even have air conditioner that works properly .They took us to a small tiny congested room and asked us to stay there for the night which was impossible. They completely refused to give us the refund and I have no idea how in the world they are doing this business as they are not professional with their guests. ANOTHER SCAM - They wanted us to book their transportation which they asked for double money. We took taxi from the airport and the price was less cheaper than the hotel staff offered us. We did not even ask for transportation and let me make it clear- we DID NOT cancel the booking. They DO NOT have any proof that we cancelled the booking for our rooms, because we did not cancel the rooms booking. And the transportation is completely voluntary , it is not something required by the hotel. Plus based on the texting we were not even sure if actually we are talking to the right people.NOW they are trying to make us the bad people here while they are one tried SCAM us every way that could.I absolutely refused to give them recommendation to other tourists and I highly prefer other tourists to AVOID booking this unprofessiona ##### Suet Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Natasha Jade 14 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was very convenient- close to the centre Staff were absolutely fantastic, so welcoming and so lovely - Would absolutely recommend going and would definitely book again !!

It is located down an alley, as are most of the Roads, but not once did I feel unsafe getting to or from there. The staff are exceptional, always helpful, often going above and beyond their duty. I really cannot recommend this place enough. I will be returning there on my next visit. ##### David Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jose Luis 27 Mar 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Jose Luis Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Oscar 26 Mar 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Bonito, cómodo y bien situado Es un bonito Riad muy bien situado, a escasos metros de la famosa plaza Jemaa el-fna. Las habitaciones son amplias y tienen baño incorporado, armarios empotrados, calefacción y aire acondicionado. En la última planta hay una terraza donde puedes relajarte tomándo un té. Nosotros nos comprábamos todas las noches la cena y la tomábamos allí. A destacar la amabilidad del propietario, el cual habla perfectamente inglés y frances y alguna cosilla de español. Lo único malo es que el primer día es muy difícil de encontrar, al final hay que acabar preguntando a algún lugareño que seguro os acopañará y al que tendreis que "agraceder" con un par de euros. ##### Oscar Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 28 Nov 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Bon accueil confort simple mais suffisant.

Everyone was so helpful and accommodating. The location of this riad is exceptional. I stayed in 2 riads during my stay in Marrakech, and this is the one I would return to again due to the location. I had a lovely room on the top terrace floor. I was hoping to have a view of Koutoubia Mosque, but there is not a view from the main terrace. I highly recommend this riad for the location and the staff. ##### Jasmin Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maria 22 Jan 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Vale mesmo a pena Quarto espaçoso, extremamente limpo e confortável.

Read Balkisse was great! They arranged a ride from the airport then met us outside when the driver got to the hotel. They offered us drinks when we arrived and showed us to our rooms. Everyone on the staff was so friendly and helpful. The rooms were small but nice and very much what I think of when I hear Morocco. It is centrally located near a lot of restaurants and shopping areas, it seems kinda scary at night in that area but it's really not. The hotel arranged a tour for us to the Cascades waterfall and it was an amazing, and cheap, day trip, best part of the time in Morocco. If we ever got back to Marrakech we will definitely stay in this hotel again. ##### Steven Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### ISMAIL 28 Oct 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Riad balkisse Everything was well.

Location is excellent (2 mins from the main square), but it was cool and peaceful inside, a perfect contrast to the hot, noisy streets. The staff were so friendly and helped us to plan our days out and trips out of Marrakesh, and made us plenty of delicious mint tea. A special shout-out to Simon who made us feel very welcome and looked after us so well! ##### Gwen and Eliza Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thomas 4 Jul 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good stay at a good price Good stay at a good price ##### Thomas Stayed 1 night in Jun 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Edouard 15 Jun 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Comfortable, clean, well located !

Si les alentours peuvent surprendre lorsque l'on arrive sur Marrakech pour la première fois, on se rend vite compte que le quartier reflète l'ensemble de la Medina. L'accueil est chaleureux, sympathique et attentionné. Le riad est très joliment décoré et accueillant. Le petit déjeuner est de bonne qualité et copieux. Le diner est proposé et quelque fois organisé avec de la musique traditionnelle. Certes, la robinetterie est un peu vétuste mais ne ternie pas à elle seule la qualité de la prestation au regard des des tarifs proposés,. La prestation est de bonne qualité. ##### Sylvie ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 1 Nov 2015 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 安宿に慣れている方にはお勧め 場所がわかりにくいため昼間に到着することを勧める 防音が無いに等しく隣室、屋外の音がはっきりと聞こえる 朝食はまずくはないが期待してはいけない  フロントの対応はとても良い ##### Verified traveller ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Jaal Riad Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Les-Jardins-De-LAgdal-Hotel-Spa.h4366459.Hotel-Information) > > [Diwane Hotel & Spa Marrakech](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Diwane-Hotel-Spa-Marrakech.h1543510.Hotel-Information) > > [Les Jardins De La Medina](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Les-Jardins-De-La-Medina.h1184739.Hotel-Information) > > [Kenzi Rose Garden](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Kenzi-Rose-Garden.h1001423.Hotel-Information) > > [Aqua Mirage Club & Aqua Parc - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Aqua-Mirage-Club-Aqua-Parc-All-Inclusive.h10387148.Hotel-Information) > > [Les Deux Tours](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Les-Deux-Tours.h1353977.Hotel-Information) > > [Résidence Dar Lamia Marrakech](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Residence-Dar-Lamia-Marrakech.h6900080.Hotel-Information) > > [Sol Oasis Marrakech - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Sol-Oasis-Marrakech.h64033503.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Marrakech Hivernage](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Novotel-Marrakech-Hivernage.h2434358.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Plaza](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Opera-Plaza-Hotel-Marrakech.h5311411.Hotel-Information) > > [Labranda Targa Club Aqua Parc](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Labranda-Targa-Club-Aqua-Parc.h3171603.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Tikida Palmeraie - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Tikida-Palmeraie-All-Inclusive.h2955364.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheap stay in Marrakech Morocco - apartment for rent](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Cheap-Stay-In-Marrakech-Morocco-Apartment-For-Rent.h31613191.Hotel-Information) > > [Barcelo Palmeraie Oasis Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Barcelo-Palmeraie.h892428.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Tikida Garden - Adults Only - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Riu-Tikida-Garden-Adults-Only-All-Inclusive.h1178114.Hotel-Information) > > [El Olivar Palace Marrakech](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-ELOLIVAR-PALACE-MARRAKECH.h82862013.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa D'artiste Dar Jmel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Villa-Dartiste-Dar-Jmel.h42695726.Hotel-Information) > > [Sofitel Marrakech Palais Imperial & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Sofitel-Marrakech-Lounge-And-Spa.h906942.Hotel-Information) > > [Mövenpick Hotel Mansour Eddahbi Marrakech](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Movenpick-Hotel-Mansour-Eddahbi-Marrakech.h564721.Hotel-Information) > > [Marrakech Ryads Parc All inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Marrakech-Ryads-Parc-All-Inclusive.h4909192.Hotel-Information) > > [Pestana CR7 Marrakech](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Pestana-CR7-Marrakech.h71502736.Hotel-Information) > > [La Maison Des Oliviers](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-La-Maison-Des-Oliviers.h1717262.Hotel-Information) > > [Dar Sofil - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Dar-Sofil-Adults-Only.h16281048.Hotel-Information) > > [Savoy Le Grand Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Savoy-Le-Grand-Hotel.h12430665.Hotel-Information) > > [Rawabi Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Rawabi-Hotel-Spa-All-Inclusive-Available.h5328327.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Resort Marrakech](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Resort-Marrakech.h4270690.Hotel-Information) > > [Pickalbatros Hotel du Golf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Hotel-Du-Golf-Rotana.h4485836.Hotel-Information) > > [Nobu Hotel Marrakech](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-The-Pearl-Marrakech.h4909170.Hotel-Information) > > [Kenzi Club Agdal Medina All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Kenzi-Club-Agdal-Medina-All-Inclusive.h3741517.Hotel-Information) > > [Be Live Collection Marrakech Adults Only - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Be-Live-Collection-Marrakech-Adults-Only-All-Inclusive.h18100210.Hotel-Information)
