i do not have enough good words for the experience my family/ friends and i received this past visit at riad andalla. Sanae took the time to personally take me to the street of the market to find a specific gift i was looking to bring back to the states. Karim, Amal, Sanae, Samail, Kamal, Cassie, and Laura you guys were absolutely amazing! i can not thank you guys enough for the best experiences anyone can have in Morocco. All of you have personally taken the time to do anything and everything to make our stay as welcoming as possible. Everyone on staff made us feel apart of the family instead of just a few tourists. They were able to arrange all of our tours for us, call us taxis, make us laugh, make us the most amazing dinner we have ever had here in Morocco (no restaurant outside of the riad can compare), the most amazing breakfast that normally i would not wake up to have because i prefer sleep but was truly so thankful i did wake up for because the spread was not only beautiful but extremely tasty, and overall make us feel as welcome as humanly possible. This family owned business is the only place i will stay at in Morocco. i can promise you will never have as amazing of an experience anywhere else but here at the riad! as a group of 13 they took care of us like it was a piece of cake. once again Karim, Amal, Sanae, Samail, Kamal, Cassie, and Laura thank you for the best...
Read moreWhat a wonderful place to stay! Abdulwaheed and the team went out of their way to make sure we were happy and felt like we were at a home from home, even saying “welcome home” when we got in every time. The riad is a 3 min walk from the main square in the medina. The terrace was a perfect place to sit and soak in the full ambiance and the wonderful madness of an evening before turning in, with a lovely glass of Moroccan tea. Despite being so close to the noise and hubub, once in the Riad it was an oasis of calm and tranquility, with only really the birds and the call to prayer being heard. |The architecture of the riad is absolutely stunning… so pretty, traditionally designed around a central courtyard, a very relaxing vibe, and the perfect place to stay. |Breakfast was great- the best yogurt I’ve ever tasted (home made!), Moroccan pancakes, pastries, bread and cakes with orange juice and coffee. We booked in advance a meal for the first night so we could relax and that was delicious ! We also arranged for a taxi to collect us from the airport, which was so good as it meant we didn’t need to worry. |Such a lovely place and such lovely staff. They went out of their way to make us feel welcome and were happy to answer any questions we had. |Do stay here! You won’t regret it. And such...
Read morePositive |Centrally located Riad Andalla was great for views over the Jmaa El Fna. It was very clean and room comfortable (although my room had no window, making it slightly claustrophobic). |Staff were helpful - printed my boarding pass which I’d forgotten to bring with me. |Unplugged phone when I went out and forgotten to unplug and was afraid of it melting. This was the second plug I’d bought (more on that below)||Negative|Breakfast (which was included) is carb heavy) |Don’t ask for recommendations. The manicure/pedicure place they recommended was the worst mani/pedi I’ve ever had. |Forgot my plug/adaptor in UK. The shop they recommended sold me one that melted and destroyed my original Apple cable. |Asked them to book me a taxi for 9am. Repeatedly told them the time for taxi pick up so there could be no mistakes. I even saw him write it down. Yet at 858am when I asked where was taxi they said it’s booked for 930am. I told them I had to leave immediately and they said ok it’s coming now. It didn’t. I got into the taxi at 930am. ||This short break was supposed to be a stress free break. This final part of my time in Marrakech made me so anxious that it really marred my holiday. At airport had to run to ensure I was not late. Also no time to check out duty free which I really...
