Riad Dar Alfarah

We have just returned from our trip to Marrakech. I booked this Riad via Booking.com and was not disappointed. We were met (as cars do not pass down beside the Riad) nearby at the taxi and escorted to the Riad. We were warmly welcomed with a chance to sit with mint tea and sweet treats before being shown our room. We were on the ground floor beside the pool and comfortable chairs. The room was as follows: - spacious -Very clean - air conditioned -had plenty of storage space -shower gel and shampoo provided with the shower and a small bar of fragrant soap by the hand basin - a safe in the wardrobe was provided -small table and chair to sit at -comfortable bed We had breakfast each morning included in the price and this was a great start to the day. It was served between 8am-10am. Urns with coffee, hot milk and hot water, cereal, home made bread, pancakes and other sweet treats. Omelette and fried eggs were also available together with fresh orange juice. You can also arrange to have other meals at the Riad, they can organise trips and they also offer massages for an additional fee. It was within walking distance of the main square Jemaa El-FNAA. We pretty much walked everywhere from this Riad including to the new part of the city which took us approx. 45 minutes to walk. You can get taxis and there are places you can travel by bus. The staff were so helpful especially the manager Mohammed. Nothing was too much trouble and they have a 24 hour reception. My only criticism was that if you have a room on the ground floor some breakfast tables are immediately beside your bedroom window so if you wanted a lay in that may be an issue. Or if you wanted an early night as the comfy seats are beside the windows of downstairs rooms. So you can hear if people are talking. This may not affect you if you want to be up and out early each day or go late to bed. In fairness we managed to sleep well as it was very quiet during the night but I guess that is also attributed to what guests are staying at the time of your visit.
