Riad l´Escale de Marrakech

Really nice Riad. Tarik is great. Away from the hustle and bustle of the Medina which is what we wanted. Clean, nice rooms, etc. Would definitely recommend. Easy to catch the 12 bus (4 dirham per trip) close by and takes about 25-30 minutes to the main square but costs 1/20th or less. Buses are busy but easy.

Friendly staff and a nice atmosphere make this Riad a great place to stay in Marrakech. For travelers who like to use public transportation, the area has a great bus to the Djamaa el ifna and beyond. I recommend this hotel highly.

Highly recommended. I stayed for 9 nights over two intervals and had a wonderful stay. The property is on a quiet street convenient to Cadi Ayyad University and a 15 minute taxi ride from the RAK airport. The Riad's staff were friendly, helpful, and attentive. The rooftop dining/lounging areas were a plus, especially at the end of the day when things cool off. Would recommend to future travelers and will return myself.

Experience: The staff at the Riad are incredibly accommodating. Adil went above and beyond to help with any request, and communicated with taxi drivers on our behalf (we had a very limited command of either French or Arabic). Amenities: Having WiFi and free breakfast is a big win, especially when you get good coffee and a selection of teas. Other amenities such as free bottled water, hot water and dependable heating /cooling unit are also a huge plus. I would advise communicating with the Riad, right after you book, so you know what room you'll be getting. The details may differ from what you see on the Hotels.com site (# of beds, size, layout, etc). Bathrooms are on the smaller aside but adequate and clean (make sure to have slippers with a good tread, so as not to slip coming in and out of the shower). Location: We quite enjoyed the peace and quiet of not being in / right by the medina. Other: Riad l'Escale was a great place to stay while experiencing Marrakech. We got to meet the owner who was very warm and welcoming, and hosted a lovely New Year's Eve party right in the Riad. I would definitely stay here again, if I'm back in the area.
