Rìad Hìdden

“Character building”

Right in the centre of historic Marrakesh, the breakfast was nice. *Advice* don’t give your phone number to reception for a taxi because you might get unwanted personal messages long after your holiday, especially if you’re female. In short, the Riad, which may have felt authentic in the past, is hard to find in the labyrinth (Riad Hidden). I don’t think it wants to be found. No show will be charged the same. Pass Cafe de France and the Grand Bazar restaurant are on the right. After the Mosque in the Souk, turn right down the alley. Number 117 is on the left opposite a large pile of rubbish. The photos don’t reflect reality, but there is some authentic charm. Dusty and needing major renovation. There are a lot of steps and 3 levels. Very small stagnant pond. Not a swimming pool and this is misleading. Limescale showers had no hot water. The WIFI is ok by the pond but dies in the room. One of our rooms had no proper lock. We were the only guests that week (two female tourists); Zouhair was in charge. Our “airport shuttle” didn’t show up on arrival. Might be part of the plan. Not a shuttle in any case. Aircon ok. Generous breakfast of eggs, local bread and pastries cooked and kindly served by Ismail on the terrace each morning.

“Nie wieder!”

Die Architektur und der Innenhofs sind recht nett. Die Anfahrt zum Rìad ist komplett falsch, es stehen keinerlei Parkmöglichkeiten im umkreis von 500m zur Verfügung. Eine Zufahrt mit dem Auto ist unmöglich!! Wir mussten unser Gepäck quer durch die überfüllte Medina schleppen. Nach der mühsamen Anreise mussten wir unsere Anmeldeformulare selber ausfüllen, was eigentlich der Job des Hoteliers sein sollte. Es gab im Zimmer nicht mal einen Kleiderbügel und ein winziges Handtuch. Außer einem Stück Seife gab es keine weiteren Hygieneartikel. Das eher spärliche Frühstück gab’s erst ab 9.00 Uhr, so dass wir unsere Abreise etwas verschieben mussten. Das Personal war zwar nett, jedoch komplett inkompetent. Da das Rìad eher hochpreisig ist, erwarte ich in dieser Preisklasse nicht den Standard einer Hinterhofgarage Nett auch das Entree mit Blick auf eine Müllkippe. Wirklich nicht zu empfehlen

“Gut, aber nicht außergewöhnlich.”

A beautiful courtyard with orange trees and a small pool. The location is very central and quiet. The staff are very friendly. I would have liked fresh orange juice and some fruit for breakfast, and the mattresses could use an upgrade soon.

“Damp Rooms, don’t recommend it”

The room was a good sized room, however there was a lot of damp on the walls. At first we thought it may be the design of the room, but as the days got on the damp became more and more apparent. I caught a really bad cough whilst I stayed there. Non stop all night I was coughing. The rooms were damp, the AC made it worse. The shower stopped working. The room was very smelly. The photos shown on bookings, don’t be fooled by them. The address is incorrect too. So you’re not in the Jama el‑Fanaa, but there are side streets which is approx a 5/10 minute walk to the square.

They changed our room the first time we arrived; it was awful. The rooms smelled bad and the sheets were not changed.
