Ottima colazione e cena e Riad molto pulito. Jamal e Mohamed sono stati molto carini e disponibili. Ci siamo sentiti a casa. Il Riad è molto vicino alla piazza da dove partono le escursioni (place des flerbantiers) e alla piazza principale di Marrakech (Jemaa el-Fna). Offre il servizio di transfer da e verso l'areoporto (prezzo onesto). Da consigliare. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Excellent breakfast and dinner, and the Riad was very clean. Jamal and Mohamed were very kind and helpful. We felt at home. The Riad is very close to the square where excursions depart (Place des Flerbantiers) and to Marrakech's main square (Place Jemaa el-Fna). They offer a transfer service to and from the airport (fairly priced). Recommended.

This is a lovely riad in an amazing location where you can explore everything in the medina with ease. The bed is comfortable and there’s a lovely little courtyard to eat breakfast in and sofas to relax. We saw the fireworks on New Year’s Eve from the roof terrace and enjoyed mint tea in the courtyard. This place is made extra special by the housekeeper Mohammed who makes the stay amazing. He is so friendly and it feels like arriving home when you are greeted by him. He makes a lovely breakfast and you eat in the courtyard with little birds who come to visit. Jamal the owner arranged a tour for us to the Sahara desert which was excellent. Mohammed gave us an extra large breakfast and helped us with some snacks for the journey and when we returned to pick up our larger bag he offered us tea after a long journey. We would 100% go back! The staff really go above and beyond to make sure it’s a wonderful time in Marrakech.

Le riad est très bien situé. Il est dans la médina même, mais proche de sa sortie, ce qui permet de rejoindre les taxis ou autres moyens de transport facilement. Le riad est propre, bien entretenu. Le petit déjeuner était de qualité (café local, thé, baghlil, etc....) Le personnel était incroyablement gentil, souriant et accessible. Une pensée particulière pour Mohamed, qui était particulièrement aimable. Mr Jamal, le responsable, s'est toujours montré réactif, et a grandement contribué au bon déroulé de notre séjour, en organisant quelques excursions et nos navettes vers l'aéroport. Je recommande !

Disfruté mucho mi estadía en el Riad Dar Attika. El lugar es encantador, está bien ubicado y la terraza es preciosa. Pero lo que más destaco es la calidez del personal, especialmente del recepcionista nocturno Mohamed que fue increíblemente amable, servicial y me hizo sentir segura y bienvenida durante toda mi estancia. Y una mención especial también a las chicas que cocinaban y limpiaban, eran todas muy simpáticas y agradables. También la comida que sirven es muy rica
Cons: Todo fue muy bueno, pero sugeriría revisar los precios de las excursiones antes de contratarlas a través del riad, ya que una de las que elegí terminó siendo más cara que otras similares que vi en internet.

The photos does not show what the reality of the Riad is. I don’t know what app they used but obviously it was not what I expected.

I stayed at Riad Dar Attika in Marrakech and there are many negative online reviews warning that the owner is a scammer (they are not exaggerated), I booked through a package and discovered just how accurate those warnings were. What followed felt more like a punishment than a holiday. I paid for a luxury suite with private amenities, I disputed the tiny dark room with no window on arrival and I was told every room was the same and no such facilities exist. I eventually managed to swap rooms. The room was the same, except it wasn’t in the dining room and had a window. The photos and description are pure misrepresentation. I paid the city tax in cash at check‑in (no receipt was offered). Several days later the owner claimed I hadn’t paid. After a heated discussion where I was called a liar and I had removed myself from the owners presence. A man appeared at my room claiming to be a rep, intimidation tactics were used by saying owner had a video of me not paying and police will be called. I stood firm and refused to pay twice. The owner contacted Love Holidays with fabricated lies about my conduct to discredit me and increase the pressure. As a woman travelling alone with my young son, this orchestrated intimidation was disgusting and clearly aimed at making us feel vulnerable enough to hand over more money. The stress and poor conditions drove me to book a night at another hotel (Labranda Targa) for a break. The tax dispute flared up only after I returned. After being dropped by a taxi close to the Riad, where men were waiting to scam, by quickly taking ur case and escorted you to your hotel. As it’s up alley ways, cars cannot take you there directly. It felt very unsafe and scary, especially for a woman and her young son. This man demanded the equivalent of 50 pounds for this 2 min walk. After I complained, the money was suddenly returned and the owner phoned urging me to trust only him—then started pushing overpriced excursions the very next day. The owner pushed excursions relentlessly. One day‑trip was quoted at €230, a tour I later found online for €20–€30—nearly ten times the real cost. This happened for another 2 trips plus on overpriced taxi fare of 50 euros which he instructed I pay to him. Every opportunity was turned into a way for the Riad owner to line his pocket. When I refused to pay the city tax twice, staff insisted there was video evidence (never shown) and called me a liar. A staff member sat at our table uninvited, which I found uncomfortable and over familiar and made comments (“Turkey good country, England bad country”). As a Scottish guest, I found this offensive and unprofessional. Meals were tagines every day lunch and dinner with no choices offered. Which for a bit repetitive after a few days. These were also big portion sizes, which may not be a bad thing, but we are but big eaters and were made to feel uncomfortable with comments such as “You no eat?, why you no eat, this is good food”, turned every meal into an ordeal. While possibly cultural, the repeated pressure made mealtime stressful and The riad was dirty and grubby, nowhere near professional standards. Bed sheets were never changed once during the week, and I doubt they were changed between the previous guests. Overall: Riad Dar Attika is mis‑sold, badly maintained, and operates on intimidation and overcharging. The environment felt manipulative, unsafe, and unhygienic from start to finish. I left feeling scammed, stressed, and exhausted. Avoid this riad at all costs.

Breakfast was okey but there is not that much alternative. But receptionist Mohammed is very kind person and helped us and chat with us.
Cons: Rooms are small and dark, the owner said credit card machine does not work so can you pay cash. And I said no as I didn't have cash with me. Then he insisted. I said no cash. Then at that night he said I will bring someone to fix the machine. And that night the machine worked. (As you can imagine, the hotel owner wanted to escape from tax by requesting cash payment from me). I didn't like this and I'm sure nobody likes. Also I printed 3 pages using the owner's printer. He didn't tell me this is paid. And when I saw the bill amount and schocked and asked why this you charge extra (10 dirhem per pages I guess) he said you used the printer. (but in the beginning he didn't say this is paid) The owner is not an honest person. Normally, for example, I should have paid 230 euros, but she charged 260 euros

Great location, beautiful interior, very nice receptionist, nice welcome. Nice rooftop and dining area, delicious breakfast.
Cons: The night receptionist was really kind and helpful, but I didn't like the manager's attitude. I complained I didn't get the room I had booked and he laughed at my face. I booked a suite with balcony, but got a room with no outside windows. It was a bit claustrophobic. Too expensive for what I got.

Can’t believe I paid that much for this dungeon.Unlike other Riads with beautiful courtyards and actual receptionists, this place was a total disappointment Right after I booked, I messaged them to say I’d be arriving after midnight and would need help finding the place(since addresses there are basically just street names with no numbers)They gave me a WhatsApp number and said they had 24/7 reception.That was a lie but they forgot about something calls Reviews I arrived at 1am, spent two hours trying to find the place, calling that number over and over and seeing it’s not connected to the internet.No one was around in that time.Finally at 3am I found the place with an elderly janitor who had no idea what WhatsApp even was. Once inside,things only got worse. The pillowcases had visible stains, so we had to dig through our luggage to find something to sleep on,later we discovered even nastier stains on the blanket, so we slept in our sweatshirts and skipped the blanket Morning came with the crazy noises turns out a building right next door was being demolished. Not their fault, but it was the cherry on top.Then we asked about breakfast and were told it wasn’t included,despite literally every other Riad I searched including breakfast that was the last drop Even the towel didn’t seem clean, so we skipped showers and got out of there ASAP.With almost the same price (actually a bit less)we booked Riad Saba and it was a dream.I’ve recommended it to everyone

Posizione eccellente a soli 10 minuti a piedi dalla piazza centrale e a 2 minuti da Palazzo Bahia. Pulizia e comfort di altro livelll e colazione abbondante. Il proprietario ci ha consigliato e organizzato alcuni tour e prenotato il transfer da e per l’aeroporto; nonostante alcune problematiche con il tour del secondo giorno (il driver ci ha lasciato da un’altra parte) è andato tutto liscio. Le 5 stelle le guadagna però grazie a Mohammed, addetto notturno/colazioni, che dalla sera al mattino vi aprirà a qualsiasi ora con il sorriso, vi tratterà con gentilezza e vi preparerà un’ottima colazione. La sua presenza, attenzione e simpatia ha reso davvero l’esperienza completa e positiva.

The staff was just outstanding, we mainly dealt with Mohameed, which was a lovely guy that just wanted you to have a good time and was open to have a chat about anything. The rooms was spacious and clean and had daily room service. Location is great, not right in the center but close enought for everything and the hussle and bussle of Marrakesh greets you the entire walk home. Some people may rate down the dark rooms. The rooms are dark and facing a court yard but if you learn about Moroccan tradition, that's completely normal and part of their history. If you want a bright place book a hotel in the new town. Overall this is a great place is the historic Medina of Marrakesh.
Cons: Breakfast could be slightly fresher and more diverse. It is quite carb heavy but not bad overall. The bed is actually very hard and for some people this could be quite uncomfortable. However we slept surprisingly well in it. So I don't want highlight this as a criticism but just for people to be aware.

Excellent accommodation. Everything works perfectly: efficient air conditioning, good shower, comfortable bed, adequately sized bathroom and daily cleaning. Jamal is a great host and Mohammed's affection and attention are essential for very pleasant days in this riad. Mohammed prepares a delicious breakfast with breads, sweets, juices and coffee. The location is convenient, close to the main tourist attractions to do on foot. For people with dietary restrictions or who are not used to local cuisine, the Riad has a kitchen equipped to prepare our own meals.
Cons: The only tip I would give is the possibility of installing some hooks on the bedroom wall, it would be very useful for hanging everyday things, such as towels, coats, etc.

Breakfast was plentiful but dull - just various sorts of bread with jam. No savouries. But served on a nice rooftop terrace right by our room.
Cons: Our 'suite' for 3 was very small and poorly lit, which was expertly hidden in the photos on the site. There was a constant unpleasant odour, possibly the drains. Jamal tried to be helpful but it often came across as rather pushy and intrusive. It was very difficult to pay - Jamal's card machine was broken, which meant I had to go to the bank and exchange money to pay in cash in dirhams, incurring a significant commission charge. He then initially tried to convert the Euro price quoted on the site to dirhams at an elevated exchange rate - just unnecessary hassle which would have been avoided if everything had been made much clearer upfront.

Jamal and Muhammad were excellent and responded to all our every request. Jamal organised our excursions which were excellent and he was also very responsive. He aLao provided us with sound local knowledge. We had the Africaine suite which was a sole room on the ground floor located next to the lounge area, which I expected to be noisy but as there were only about 6 rooms in total, it was not a problem. Cleaners were great, and Muhammad was ever-present. The location was close to Jamal al Fna and the Bahia Palace, which was perfect.
Cons: The rooftop breakfast was without a view. Breakfast was standard and needed more variety.

Well. I have mixed feelings about this. It's a delightful building. The bedroom was beautiful in its way. The sole staff member we saw was charming. But. I found the bed pretty hard. You don't get a key to the front door so have to knock or ring - but the doorbell was broken. There was some issue with the air conditioning remote controller. The staff member found one which worked, but then reappeared several times later asking us to try other remotes, none of which worked. The last time he knocked on our door waving an alternative remote controller (non-working again) for us to try was 11.30pm when we were in bed! We suspect from half heard conversations that people in another room went that night with no remote controller for their air conditioning. Finally, we were only asked to pay the tourist tax as we were leaving. Naturally, there was "no change" so we had to overpay slightly.

Me and my family had a great stay in this riad for our first time in Morocco and we strongly recommend it. The best thing was the hospitality, we were welcomed in the nicest and attentive way. The rest was top stars as well - a good breakfast, a comfortable room (we had the African Suite for 4 people in the top floor with access to the outdoor patio which we loved), a central location (within 8min walk from Jemaa el-Fnaa square and through very nice traditional shopping street - and yet the riad was quiet and relaxing). My best recommendation is to HAVE A MEAL THERE! We tried what felt like a million times couscous and tagines but by far the best, best, best we had was in the riad. It was our favorite meal in Morocco. If I return, I would like to stay again. Additionally, I will prefer to book extra services through the riad's team since they know best and are very professional (not just guided tours, but a hot air balloon ride for example). ✔️ Great hospitality ✔️ Central location ✔️ Amazing food ✔️ Authentic decor

Situated down a quiet street, with sad evidence of the effects of last year's earthquake in other buildings. The initial impression is of traditional Moroccan decor with the layout, the fabrics, lamps, etc and it is lovely. It isn't until you stay in a place for a while that you start to notice the little things such as the chipped tooth mug, the quality of the towels in the bathroom which were thin, frayed and had a small hole or two. Some of the crockery was also chipped or cracked. The bed is one of the hardest that we have slept on which affected our sleep quality. The toilet was loose which made using it a bit of a feat, the taps on the wash basin were also quite loose and the wash hand basin and surround were never cleaned the whole time we were there. The staff who work there are absoluely lovely and very obliging, although halfway through our stay, we were confronted one evening by a lady whom we had not seen before demanding we pay the city tax and for drinks that we had already had. I would have said she was quite aggressive, but the Arabic language can sound like that to someone not familiar with the language and from someone who did not speak English all that well. I did explain that we were staying for a week and would happily pay when we checked out as we would still have drinks to pay for. It was also strange having to knock or ring on the doorbell to get in each time we returned after a sightseeing trip. The terrace on the roof is perfect for relaxing with a choice of tables/chairs in the sun or a wondefulcovered, shaded area. We spent a lot of time here in the afternoons when it got too hot for sight seeing. A jacuzzi is also available, which we did use once. It could perhaps benefit from a mat to step out onto to prevent slipping as another guest who had a child splashed water over quite a lot of the floor and it wasn't easy to see where the water was. I feel I must mention the fact that we were scammed by the riad owner. We had purchased tickets to visit the Jardins Majorelle for mid afternoon. This particular day was our wedding anniversary and my birthday so we thought it would be a really nice place to visit. As the guide books advise, if unsure, ask at your hotel how much you should be paying for taxi rides. This we did and the owner (as we later found him out to be) mentioned that there are other gardens near and that he could arrange for a taxi to take us to those, wait for us, take us on to a different garden, wait then take us onto the jardins majorelle. Again, we thought that would be a lovely, relaxing, romantic thing to do. Please note the romantic here!. We asked the cost and he told me 60, which I took to be dirham, but he meant euro. I thought it a bit expensive but as my husband pointed out, we would have the taxi for the afternoon and we didn't know where the gardens were or if taxis were available to hire there. I did not hear properly the name of the gardens, being partly deaf, and looking back I felt as if I had been deliberately misled as he muttered the names of them. My husband concurs with how unclear the names of these gardens were. I did not have sufficient cash so said I would get money from the ATM while we were out and about that morning. We hurried around the two sites we had planned to visit that morning in order to get back for lunch at 12 pm as we were being picked up by the taxi at 1pm. When I went to give the owner the money for the trip, it had gone up to 660 dirhams, but as I do have a hearing problem I wasn't sure if I'd misheard the first time, but talking to my husband later, he confirmed that we had agreed 600 dirham an was furious with me for paying the extra 60 dirham. After lunch we were taken by the owner to the taxi - something was said in Arabic to the driver. We got in and after only a few minutes, arried at some tanneries! When my husband asked about the gardens we sere supposed to go to, he shrugged his shoulders and denied knowing anything about them. The tanneries stank, really badly, but apparently not as bad as they can do. We were given a 'Berber gas mask', in other words, a bunch of mint to hold under the nose. We were taken on a tour around then into a shop. We should have known! We were then subjected to a selling experience, which we did not want and felt really intimidated when we didn't want to buy anything. In order to get out of there, my husband ended up buying a belt. We were then taken by the taxi to an area with palm trees and camels. The taxi driver wanted to take my photo infront of the camels which I declined as I really hate having my photo taken. We were offered tea, but it was obious we were expected to purchase a camel ride. We had a camel ride last year around the Giza plateau, and were not interested. It felt very uncomfotable. We then drove around the Palmerie and new town for an hour, killing time until our allocated time at the Jardins Majorelle. We determined to make the most of it and was stunning, but not the day that we had paid for or planned. Why on earth would I want to visit stinking tanneris on my birthday/wedding anniversary? it ruined our day. The hotel owner was coveniently away for the rest of our stay so we cold not discuss this with him and felt really cheated. I really want my hard earned money back but realise that I will never get it. We could have saved our money and gone to something we really wanted to see before going to the Jardins Majorelle. We pride ourselves on trying to be polite, unobtrusive and respectul guests and are very unhappy that we were treated in this manner. Because of this, I have only left a 3 star review.

The room and bathroom were lovely, equipped with all the listed amenities and a functional air conditioning system. The bed was very comfortable, and the riad was exceptionally clean.
Cons: The service was quite different from other places. You don't get a key or a way to open the outside door, so you have to wait for the staff to let you in. Check-in was awkward, and you have to ask for all the necessary information, as it's not provided upfront. The reception staff isn't available 24/7, and on our last day, the cleaning lady had to handle our check-out over the phone. We were charged a "city tax" that wasn't mentioned during booking, and no receipts or explanations were given. We paid it in a rush but recommend inquiring about it (at our previous riad, there were no additional fees). The staff weren’t rude, but the environment was definitely awkward.

Jamal guided us and pin pointed a few of the places most worth seeing as well as gave us general advice in terms of cash exchange, getting around, parking, the lovely Herbalist around the corner and so on. I think the breakfast on the terrace every morning was the highlight of the stay! Loved it! I would also recommend opting for the dinner at Riad! Absolutely amazing!

Great place. The rooms are beautiful, the riad too. The staff are super nice, helpful and friendly. They helped me organize my time and with shopping. Breakfast is good. It's all sweet, but that seems to be the standard in Morocco. It's one street away from the main market and two streets away from the Bahia Palace. Everything is super close and it's safe to walk around at night (female solo traveller)

Staying at Riad Dar Attika was a truly delightful experience. We received a warm welcome and attentive service throughout our stay. The ambiance was relaxing, the atmosphere cosy. The location proved to be very convenient, situated slightly away from the bustling parts of the Medina; but within a few minutes' walk, we found ourselves in the midst of it all.

great riad, great location, great staff, great food, I stayed in the suite africaine which is the only room on the top floor where the entire rooftop is your own personal balcony and you can keep the door and window open and prance around in your birthday suit and no one will call the police:)
Cons: english style taps so ask nordine how to set the hot and cold shower taps in the shower

Breakfast was very good. The room and the bed were very comfortable. The building is very pretty and well decorated. The host and the employees were nice and helpful. Excursions are available from the Riad itself with them organising everything.
Cons: The AC didn't work very well, so it got quite hot at night. Could have been cleaned more thoroughly, since it was quite dirty under the bed

Cons: Rooms are with Marrocan decorated, and that was only good. Our friends stayed first night in very smelly and without door between bedroom and bathroom. The next day, they changed their room for another less smelly room. We stayed for 4 nights, and towels weren't changed. Breakfast was very poor and always the same. There is not enough food for 4 people. We stayed one day for lunch and been overcharged for what they served. They charged more for water, too. The first few days staff was good, very friendly and aprochible. When we started to ask some questions about eg. tour or taxi prices everything changed, because they overcharged us again. We left without seeing Jamal, and Nor the staff member looked angry, and we left without any greeting. Very poor manner, and everything for them was about money.

Arrived late to the property but the night manager met us at the taxi rank to escort us to the property, smooth fast check in. Room was authentic and very comfortable, breakfast was served either on the roof terrace or salon, plentiful and freshly cooked pancakes. The team are friendly and very kind, nothing too much trouble. Jamal the owner was brilliant! He helped book restaurants and taxis for day trips, he really was super helpful. We will stay again and would highly recommend this Riad in the heart of the old town, close to the squares and markets.

Cons: Only 1 thing: In our room there was not a door separating the bedroom from the bathroom, just a curtain (in other rooms there is).

The host is very nice and tries to be helpful by providing advice or arranging day trips outside the city. They serve traditional Moroccan breakfast (butter, olive oil, jam, cheese, bread, olives, Moroccan pancakes, cake, tea, coffee). There is an air conditioner in the room which is quite useful since it can be very hot in Marrakech (we experienced 38°C on May 2nd). The location is really great. The riad is right on the edge of the city's old town (medina), only two minutes walk from the closest street where you can get a taxi (cars usually don't go to the narrow streets of medina).
Cons: The room we had was quite small and very dark as there was only one small window to the courtyard (but this is probably typical architecture given the temperatures in Marrakech). There is just drapery between the toilet and the room so can hear literally everything. When you enter the room there is also this strange smell (not from the toilet). Even thought the relative position of the riad is really great, there are very strange streets around it with many ruins of houses.

very clean and well presented, excellent location - close walking to the busy souks but far enough away for some peace and quiet, the area felt safe. near to other attractions. we had a 3 course traditional meal on the first night which was delicious (ask for the price before deciding as it was more expensive than a lot of places but it was tasty). The hosts were all amazing, helpful and super friendly. Breakfast was great. The shared terrace was great too with everything needed. the jacuzzi thing wasn’t on but we also didn’t want to use it so can’t comment how that works.
Cons: As a personal preference the beds were a bit hard but since travelling around Morocco this seems to be the normal. Breakfast could benefit from some fresh fruit.

Jamal and his staff looked after us perfectly. From the taxi pick up from the airport until our departure. The location was very convenient and very close to the Bahia Palace and Jemaa el- Fnaa Square. Jamal arranged two very enjoyable day excursions. Personally escorting us on one of them. Lovely roof terrace. Good breakfast.
Cons: Our room on the first floor was a little dark, and the shower room was very small. However, it remained very comfortably cool given the high outside temperature.

Grate people. Element service. 3 min walk to cash machine and post office. City attractions 5 min walk. Marrakesz experience at it's best side.
Cons: A bit confusion with prices and taxes, but nothing mager. Solved in no time.

Good stay and welcoming staff. 3min walk to Bahia Palace!
Cons: Food served at the Riad is 3 times expensive then what you can get outside in just 5 mins walk. The taxi/cab would not drop you at the door of the Riad and then there will be people standing at the taxi stand to escort you to the Riad and then would demand a lot of money of you. So be careful either get a local sim at the airport and contact the Riad directly or use google maps.

the location is situated near the city center, next to the bahia palace, walkable distance to the medina, the souks and Jemaa El-Fna. the room was pretty spacious and clean.
Cons: we were told that the jacuzzi can be used, but we weren t told that it only has cold water, which clearly stopped us from bathing since the temperature wasn t that high. about the breakfast, it was only some kind of bread/oher pastries, honey, butter and jam, every morning. on the first day, we arrived over 8pm, were served a morroccan tea (which was very pleasant), and asked for a glass of water, too. we were given a bottle of 2l, drank a glass of water, and left it there and then checked in. on our last day, when we wanted to pay the city taxes, 20 dirhams extra were for a “big bottle of water”. it is not about that amount of money, it s just about the situation.

Shower wasn't great in the room that I had. Staff weren't the most helpful except for the guy that did the breakfast in the morning who was more proficient. Access to the Riad wasn't ideal if you're coming back late at night - down a quiet alley, cut-off from the main road.

Ottima struttura, curata e pulitissima. Si trova in pieno centro di Marrakech, e tutto e' raggiungibile a piedi.Nonostante s trovi n una via poco frequentata (tranquilla!!!) non abbiamo mai avuto la sensazione di sentirci fuori luogo o minimamete in pericolo. Personale gentile e diaponibile. Ottima colazione.Consigliato vivamente

Arrivati, io e il mio ragazzo al Riad dar Attika, il proprietario ci informa che gestisce 5 differenti RIAD e che ci avrebbe sistemato in uno vicino alla piazza principale. Arrivati nel “riad” vediamo che la stanza era molto semplice, ma non ci siamo immediatamente lamentati in quanto la “bellezza” della stanza non è un parametro essenziale per noi visto che saremmo stati comunque tutto il giorno in giro per Marrakech. Successivamente ci accorgiamo che il “Riad” offerto dal proprietario in realtà era un OSTELLO, che ha ben poco a vedere con il Riad. Siamo ovviamente andati a lamentarci, e il proprietario alle nostre lamentele continuava a sostenere che il prezzo della stanza nell’ostello fosse maggiore del prezzo nella stanza del Riad in quanto più vicino alla piazza principale... ci siamo ovviamente fatti cambiare di stanza e a dimostrazione che la stanza non ha lo stesso prezzo, a differenza di quanto detto dal proprietario, ci è stato offerto un rimborso da expedia, per la spiacevole esperienza. Devo aggiungere che il VERO Riad è carino, ma state attenti a ciò che il proprietario cerca di rifilarvi.

Tipico Riad, in ottima posizione vicino a piedi a tutte le principali attrazioni di Marrakech. Personale gentile e sempre disponibile. Colazione tipica marocchina servita dal personale. Bagno un po' piccolino e la strada per raggiungere il Riad, lato palazzo Bahia, sicuramente da migliorare. Riad consigliato!!!

Un grand merci aux hôtes de Dar Attika qui apportent un vrai sentiment d'être chez soi quand on y rentre après l'animation parfois éprouvante de Marrakech. Un véritable havre de paix parfaitement aménagé, une terrasse splendide, services au top... Bravo !

The hotel is ok, as advertised on the pictures. The staff that stay at the hotel are also very nice. But all the time I had the feeling of being taken advantage of. Felt that their main goal of the hotel was how to take more money of the guest and not making the guest feel comfortable and welcomed. Everything is overpriced and in Euro. All conversations with the manager about tips of the city ended in an overpriced offer from him. Even the most simple questions. One of the offers was a tour of the gardens around the city, he asked for 40€ per person, I did it by taxi for 8€ and split it in 4 persons. At one point he even asked me how much I've paid for my sunglasses and clothes, because he wanted to buy it from me. Total sense of distrust.

Had a lovely stay here for 5 nights! we had the suite at the top of the riad and it was perfect. great friendly staff, breakfast was good and they're always willing to help with directions/excursions. Riad is really easy to find which is a bonus! definitely recommend Riad dar Attika.

This Riad was our third one we had during our stay in Marrakech and definitely was the best one, we regret we stayed there only 2 nights. It's very well localized, just minutes from Djemma el Fna (the main square) and the route is very simple, you can't get lost which is quite common when you have an accommodation in Medina. To other attractions like Palais de Bahia is 90 seconds walk, Balais Badi few minutes of walking. So the localisation is just perfect! Riad is beautifully decorated, with care of every detail. The lobby and the rooms were breathtaking, like one of the Moroccan palace. We had the chambre gris, we have seen two others, chamble bleu and chambre beige, they were all very nice but in my opinion, the gris was the best. The room was quite small but absolutely enough, the bed and linen were extraordinary and bathroom with good size (but has no doors, only net curtain). The staff was nice and very good English-speaking and even if there were trying to sell us overpriced this and that (excursion, dinner, wine, shuttle to airport) it's part of their job and if you don't want to buy it,you don't and that's it. Summarize, I truly recommend and for sure next time I'm gonna stay there!
