The riad was quite far from the entrance and we had to drag our bags over 5 minutes through the Medina to get to the riad. There also was a horrible stench right outside the riad. They were extremely nice once we made it inside the venture to get there just was not pleasant. The bathroom also did not have a door which was gross. Lastly their recommended transportation to and from the airport was overpriced and he was extremely rude.

We had a wonderful stay in Marrakech at Riad Assala. The staff were all really friendly and extremely helpful. When we arrived from the airport in the transport they had arranged for us Ahmed met us at our taxi and took our cases through the narrow streets to the Riad where we were greeted by Fatima and Mustafa and offered mint tea as we settled in. They were also very accomodating to my wife's need of a gluten free diet and provided us with delicious food (breakfast every day and some dinners). The location in the heart of the medina was great being within walking distance of most of the main tourist attractions. When we left they once again organised our transport to the airport and Ahmed helped take our cases to the pick up point ensuring that we and our luggage were safely aboard. We would heartily recommend Riad Assala to anyone visiting Marrakech.

Let me start by saying I was a little nervous about using Expedia to pick us up at the airport and drop us off at the hotel. If you are anything like me don’t worry it work for us. I was extremely happy a repensative was sent to pick us up from drop off point. I do not know if they knew we wasn’t moving because it so busy when you are dropped off, but it was appreciated. This should be a norm for all guest if it’s not. Arrived and was greeted with open arms, the hotel staff really took care of us. They guide us every step of the way. They were very understanding of language barriers and found the person who spoke English well. The room was comfortable, beware the water is so hot. Loved it. Also the dinner was great on first night to get your bearing. I asked for a laundry mat and they even washed our clothes for a small fee which freed us up too enjoy more of Morocco. This was one of the best Raid we have stayed in. So if you book you shouldn’t be disappointed. Rooms are decent size for money, no tv but we not there too watch tv. Enjoyed our stayed and if we go back we will definitely book again. The bed was a little too firm for my taste, however it was clean.

Ahmed & Fatima made our stay at Riad Assala. They were accommodating and kind, even with the language barrier. The riad itself is like a quiet refuge in the busy city. We loved it so much we booked with them again at the end of our stay. One thing to note: it’s a little tricky to find (you have to go down a few internal alleys). It’s helpful to download map.me app to give you precise directions.

Disappointing and not worth the money at all
We did NOT enjoy our experience at Riad Assala at all. 1) After making the reservation, Catherine emailed us to ask if we would like dinner arranged for our arrival. We followed up with her via email 5 times to ask re: menu, pricing and other details, but never heard back. When we arrived to check in, we were told that they had dinner ready for us. We weren't hungry and felt guilty for turning down food prepared for us; however it was $35 per person, and we did not want to pay that much for a dinner we didn't want. The staff insisted that we ordered it but we showed them our booking to confirm that we did not. 2) One night my husband fell ill and we couldn't go out for dinner. I asked the riad staff if they could order food delivery for me (since I don't speak french and most delivery places required an order in french), but they declined and said it wasn't allowed. I asked if they had anything at the riad I could eat (I was willing to pay); they said nothing was available. I went to bed hungry that night. I was extremely upset. 3) Overall, there was a sense of stinginess at the riad. Anytime we asked for something, the answer was no. No extra egg, no soap, no water. They were very rigid in their rules. 4) Make sure you get the hotel to arrange for pickup from airport or you will never find it yourself. Positives: The staff was usually helpful and would go outside the riad to show us directions. They were nice people.
