Riad Nouhal

Great place very close to the center of Marrakech and easy to get around

My personal experience was bad. The word RIAD in Morocco means a traditional Moroccan house with a small courtyard, a garden or a small pool of water in the middle; with rooms around it on two, three or four floors. The listing page states; ‘On site parking’ There is NO parking here as this house is in a small narrow street. I had rented a car, so this hotel was definitely not for me. Then the listing page reads, ‘24 hours front desk’.. there is NO receipt here, let alone a ‘desk’.. you have to knock at the front wooden door hard to get someone to open it from the inside. Some old lady in traditional clothes opened the door for me but couldn’t speak a word of English. My wife and I stood in the street while she phoned someone to come and translate. So it was another false statement on the listing page. The shower, the toilet and the wash basin were packed together next to each other in a tiny space. The bedding was stale and did not look clean. The listing page states, FRONT DESK SERVICES: ’Currency Exchange, Concierge Service, VIP Check-In Service, Express Check-In and Check-Out’ NONE OF THIS IS TRUE; there is No Front Desk here. This is a traditional Moroccan house, there is NO NAME of the Hotel written outside the house! Extremely hard to find. A local man saw me ‘looking lost’ and asked for five dollars to take me to this hotel on foot. My wife and I felt unsafe inside and outside this hotel. I had three nights booking but did not stay even one hour. I left this place and found another comfortable and safe hotel not far from the city centre. I wish to emphasise that it was my personal experience; other people will of course have their own opinion of this hotel. I definitely DO NOT RECOMMEND this hotel to anyone. Thanks for reading this rather extended review.

After waiting outside Riad Nouhal for around 20 minutes. The man finally opened the door and said they had no rooms left so he took us on a 15 minute walk to another hotel under the same management. We then arrived to Riad Mandalay, although breakfast was nice and the staff were friendly, we were placed in a room with no TV or a sofa so we had to eat on out beds on a small table. The A/C was also very bed as me and my family struggled to sleep despite the fact it was on the highest setting. We called the technician twice and we are still waiting for him to arrive. This is our 3rd night at we've been using small hand-fans to keep cool. I would not recommend.

The room are not clean, i have scratched the biggest bug I've ever seen. Nothing is furnished: no soap, towels are missing, walls of the room are not clean, there is no window in the room. I would never return here and the price is too expensive for what it is worth
