Riad Marrakech by Hivernage

This is typically a hotel that has seen much better days but still attracts a fair number of travelers due to its location and name. However, considering the sheer number of options around town we would advice staying here for now. On the first night we stayed in room 3 on the first floor. We found the room dusty and not properly maintained. There was only one towel plus had to request for more and better pillows. The toilet did not flush properly, the lid was broken. There was barely any water pressure in the bathroom. The aircon did not work and instead blowing cool air switched to blowing really hot air after a while. Even after we had called reception a few times and had somebody over to the room, no solution could be offered and we had a very poor night sleep. We received no apology or compensation the next day. We had been offered a different room though. However, nobody at the reception seemed aware of this and when we inquired about it again in the afternoon we were told only one was available. It not being clean yet we were told to wait. It being three o'clock in the afternoon we though the hotel would hurry this up but instead nothing happened until we lost our temper and really demanded that something be done about the situation. More than an hour had passed. It may not seem much but by the that time we were well passed check-in on our second day after a very lousy time on the first, yet having already paid for three nights. Room number one where we stayed the next two days was better equipped but again fell short of expectations. The shower was just a shower head you need to hold in your hands. There's nothing to keep it stable while standing under it. Moreover, only scalding hot water came out. There was barely any cold water to mix it with. The toilet did not flush properly. The water in the sink did not drain. The aircon functioned but we doubt it will do you much good when it's actually summer. The room's are excessively dark otherwise. Us losing our temper earlier would cost us dearly. A perfume bottle was damaged on purpose by housekeeping. It would no longer spray, the bottom having been used to damage it, the dent clearly visible, no accident could have caused it. This hotel is best avoided.

Wow! Huge lobby! Nice room. Comfy bed. Extra blankets. Short walk to square and Medina. Great front desk and assistant. No elevator, but was helped up stairs with luggage. Very positive experience. A little difficult to cross the streets at night. Lot of traffic.

It’s perfect and centric, the staff is really nice and welcoming, it has beautiful corners and in general the hotel it’s pretty itself, best option for marrakesh, also, meet Mina, she is really nice and will give you some tips for your stay, 10/10
