Gallery Kasbah

It's quiet, comfortable and relaxing once you are inside the riad, and the staff is very helpful. If you are arriving by cab, you will most likely be dropped off near the tower of Kasbah Mosque, which is about as close as you can get by car. From there it's about a 5 minutes' walk. A first-time visitor will find it quite challenging, or even impossible, to find their way to the riad; the best option is to pre-arrange with the riad so one of their staff will meet you where you get dropped off and escort you to the place. Or better still, arrange with the riad for pickup at the airport so that the driver is also aware of the end to end logistics and can contact the riad on your behalf if there is any confusion. You will pass through a crowded, chaotic marketplace and some narrow alleys, and even an opening cut into (what seems like) an old city wall, to get to the riad. If you are looking for a quiet, clean and refined neighborhood for your stay in Marrakech then this is not for you. If you like to be right in the middle of a commercial + residential neighborhood in the old city and stay among the local residents, then you are in the right place. Overall, we had a pleasant stay and we never felt unsafe or harassed. A big plus is that you can walk to many of the top sights in the old city from there, and other common attractions are a reasonable cab ride away. Be prepared to negotiate down the cab fare, or you will be overcharged.

The kitchen and breakfast staff were awesome especially Abderazak, the cleaning staff was lovely. However, there was no Toothpaste in the room, no body wash, only hand wash. There was also no robe for the pool as well as no first aid box as someone in the group was ill over night and the front desk said there wasn't any first aid box. The breakfast had birds and that wasn't sanitary.
