Riad Selouane

It was a bit of a surprise as we were expecting a more visible open area of a positioning than a guest house in almost a maze of passage ways. However, the accommodation is actually in the heart of it all. Walking distance to all the sites that make the trip to Marrakesh. Our host, Romi, was very accommodating and helpful as well. We enjoyed a really healthy breakfast every day, and he assisted in requested arrangements. We were pleased with the Riad Seloune. As this is a home environment, they don't have locks for the room doors, so safety and security as in where we come from is not a worry here. Our belongings were not damaged or tampered with. Also important to note it's part of the holiday getting lost in the maze in the old Medina, we often couldn't find our way back, but it was a fun idea with more exploring the area.

We chose this riad as we wanted to be within walking distance of the main sights and also feel like we were experiencing Marrakech, rather than staying in an international chain. Riad Selouane delivered on both counts...and many more. From the moment we were met from our taxi, a couple of minutes walk away, we felt like we were staying in a Moroccan home. The staff are outstanding on every level and nothing is too much trouble for them. From arranging our return taxi to serving mint tea and giving advice if required, they were so lovely and deserve 6 stars! The riad is stunning and a peaceful escape from the mayhem of the medina. Although it is hidden away, it is very easy to find after the initial arrival and there is always a night guard who remembers you and directs you, if needed. The alleyway is also lit at night plus the area is much more upmarket than some other parts of the medina, with plenty of local police nearby due to the important attractions and buildings. Breakfast was delicious and served on the pretty roof terrace and, on our early departure day trip, was served in the gorgeous courtyard. Our room was spacious and beautifully designed with a huge bathroom complete with toiletries. A few people have mentioned that there isn't a lick on the door but we felt like we were staying with family or friends so it was never an issue. The location of the riad is perfect as it's only about 10 minutes walk to the main square ( although Marrakech is so much more than that!!! We absolutely loved our stay and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it if you want a unique experience. Many thanks to you all

Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour dans cette magnifique et sympathique petite Riad typique au cœur de la médina de Marrakesh. Nos hôtes Khalid et Nouri ont été des plus accueillants et nous ont offert un service impeccable! Nous recommandons sans hésitation.

Sehr schönes Riad. Super nette Mitarbeiter. Die Zimmer sind sehr liebevoll eingerichtet und auf der Dachterrasse kann man es sich gut gehen lassen. Das Riad liegt sehr zentral. Falls Ausflüge auf den Plan stehen, helfen die Mitarbeiter des Riads gerne.
