Review of Riad Eldar 3*

Our riad was exactly as shown in the pictures. It has a wonderful design and ambiance. My spouse and I stayed in the cheapest package on the ground floor, so we could hear the sounds and laughter of people coming in and out of the hotel. It wasn’t too disturbing though. The breakfasts were very nice and cultural. The staff were both very attentive and always smiling. The room was cleaned every day. We felt safe and at peace. You can stay here comfortably and enjoy your time.
For those who want to explore Marrakech, you should know that the most striking place is the Jamaa El Fna square. The riad is about a 20–25 minute walk through the souks to the square. This is not really a problem, but if you want to return home from the square or the souks after 11 p. M. Some of the streets inside the market are closed. It’s not easy to find your way back using Google or other online map tools. At night, some people on the streets tell you that you won’t be able to find your way and they bother or intimidate you. If you accept their help, they demand a lot of money, and if you refuse, they can become aggressive and try to start a fight. Unfortunately, this was a bad experience for us. Aside from this issue, everyone was wonderful. Perhaps the hotel owners could give a warning about such situations in advance and provide guidance. Other than that, everything was excellent.
As Muslims, we normally use a bidet shower for cleaning, but unfortunately it was not available in the bathroom. This was a big inconvenience for us.
