    Great stay, although a major challenge on communication, I’d definitely recommend this riad for a French speaking couple

    These are not dislikes, but instead areas for improvement: - the communication with the staff was challenging as a British couple. Upon arrival was the most challenging, they didn’t tell us their names, they showed us our room and the terrace but not the Hammam. We were trying to ask if there was a key for the room or for the riad but were not understood or informed, and even once getting up google translate for them, they would reply in french to us and continue to repeat themselves when we appeared confused still. I definitely recommend for them to learn the basics for what they need, including ‘what time would you like breakfast’, ‘how was your day’ ‘would you like tea or coffee’ etc etc. I’d also recommend for them to have a better technique to communicate where they could use google translate on their own phones (they couldn’t translate on mine when I asked as I believe they could only read in arabic) - for an improvement I believe they could have a list of recommended restaurants/ bars etc especially for drinkers/non drinkers - as someone that stayed on the bottom floor next to the courtyard for breakfast, be aware that you’ll be awoken when the first couple are having their breakfast prepared as they freshly blend the orange juice. Everyone also sits outside your room for breakfast so you can hear everything and vice versa - no key for room or riad door and no safety box/safe. Had to carry cash and passports everywhere for safety as all guests had access to our room

    - perfect location, very quiet alley next to busy medina - stunning property, amazing attention to detail on every part of the riad - staff were constantly keeping it clean - filling breakfast (although could’ve had some fruit) - amazing terrace with fabulous views

    The Riad is beautiful. The lobby and rooms are very stylish and the rooftop view is breathtaking. The riad is very well located in the middle of the medina but you won’t hear any noises from outside

    As we were on the ground floor, it was quite noisy in the mornings when people were getting up for breakfast, but that may be expected in a Riad where everything happens in the centre courtyard

    Beautiful riad right in the heart of the medina surrounded by loads of great restaurants and shops. The whole riad was incredibly well decorated and spacious, and our room exceeded our expectations too. The staff were incredible, special shout out to Hamsel, who was so welcoming, always there to help, and gave us some great advice for our stay in Marrakech. Very delicious breakfast with freshly made orange juice and yummy pastries and eggs every morning. The rooftop gave an amazing view of Marrakech and the Koutubia Mosque, especially at sunset, and the pool was a perfect addition in the heat of Marrakech.

    The communication with the Riad was tough. The website was down when we arrived and coordinating a ride from the airport was a little challenging.

    It was ok. Orange juice was very fresh, coffee great, somewhat limited. Houmza the young man who worked there was very attentive and kind.

    Slight smell from the bathroom drain. The drain in the shower did not drain properly and the shower filled up quickly

    Service incredible. Hamza, Younis and another female member of staff looked after us and were incredible. Great local advice, everything we could need. Very friendly. Organised early breakfast for us before leaving on our last day.

    Nothing specific to the riad!

    A stunning riad that I felt lucky to have been able to spend a couple of nights in. The room was cleaned regularly and stocked with new shampoos, towels, rose water etc. Clothes were put up in the closet. Breakfast was always available in the morning. Just lots of little things that made for a very nice stay. A massive thank you to the staff - Hamza, Younes, Hamid, Fatima and another lovely woman (humblest apologies for forgetting your name :( ) You were fab, friendly and very accommodating.

    The alleyways to get to the riad are rather unsavoury and I wouldn't have felt comfortable going there alone. The staff don't speak any English which is a bit tricky. The gluten free breakfast was very basic.

    The riad is beautiful. We had a huge junior suite and a very welcome electric blanket. The rooftop terrace is stunning with pool and loungers.

    Riad Safar was an absolute dream. The beds were comfy, the breakfast delicious and the staff so helpful. The roof top has spectacular views of the Medina and two relaxing spaces, one by the pool (not heated) and the other a raised area. The Riad is both stylish whilst still traditional, the perfect city getaway. As it was our first time in Marrakech I requested a taxi to collect us from the airport and this saved us any hassle, (would definitely recommend sorting this before you arrive). The location is great, so many beautiful and delicious food options so close by, as well as hammams and of course the amazing souks for shopping.

    We read about the alleyways, but this seems normal in the medina. We never, ever felt afraid. The local people were always very friendly.

    Charming, magical and aesthetically beautiful. We loved this Riad: it offered us a taste of the exotic in the Medina. Hamid and Laaziza bent over backwards to help us and the service provided was exceptional. Dinner on arrival night was superb, breakfasts wonderful. Hamid liaised with the taxi drivers regarding luggage transfer: we didn’t have to worry about anything. We loved sitting up on the rooftop, especially at night. Our room was gorgeous and we had a fantastic time.

    Riad Safar was such a beautiful location to stay for a couple nights in Marrakech! The riad is in a convenient location, and the bedroom and bathroom were beautiful, the common area was serene, and rooftop was a lovely place to watch sunrise and sunset. Breakfast was delicious and everyone who worked at Riad Safar was incredibly helpful.
