Liked: This is a true gem! The atmosphere, staff, facilities and location are truly perfect! I would recomend this to anyone! The courtyard area with beautiful flowers and trees is the perfect chill out area with a lovely pluge pool. The rooms are spacious and very clean, ours had a lovely bathroom with a shower/bath fit for a king! The terrace area is also baeutiful and private, perfect for getting a few erays before the pluge pool!

Disliked: NOTHING!

Liked: The staff are very helpful and the breakfast is great. Beautiful rooms and the pool was great.

Disliked: No wifi. The map and directions to find the place are hopeless - ask someone to take you there or you'll end up wandering the medina for a while.

Liked: Fantastic staff, premises and atmosphere.....great pool and communal areas including lovely sun terrace. FANTASTIC food on offer during the day. I would only stay there should I return to Marrakesh.

Disliked: Food was not available in the Riad after about 5pm and as it was the best food around - taste and money wise - i would have liked it open longer.....

Liked: This place is a real gem. Such value for money! The Riad was just gorgeous and our room was very comfortable. The staff were really sweet and helpful. Once you find the place the location is really good. Wouldnt hesitate to recommend this place.

Disliked: It was hard to find at first and they could do more with the roof terrace. I recommend marking this place on a map beofre arriving so you dont have to pay someone to help you find it. Wifi would have been helpful too.

Liked: I like how clean it was and how close to the main Jamaa Alfna place, even though the hostel can be hard to find at first without help. But once you find it, it is super easy to get to and out of. Also Youssef, the person in charge was very very helpful in answering all the questions and giving us suggestions without any expectations. A good friendly hostel staff overall.

Disliked: Considering wages in Morocco and the cost of living, the place could be cheaper. But Marrakech prices are as expensive as the west in most things, especially when the street sellers know you are a tourist.

Liked: It was really cozy and silent riad.

Disliked: Time we were at Al Faras, there was really cold at nights. And it was so off-season, that we didn't see anyone. Also it was impossible to get any tea or food at the evening from riad.
