Riad Sesame - one of our favorite parts of Morocco

We LOVED the Riad Sesame. It is in the old city and thus, walkable to everywhere within the old city walls. Latifa is the host and was so incredibly kind. She made the breakfast each morning and when she realized we had some dietary restrictions, she made a huge effort to make delicious food that we could eat. She was so kind and helpful. The hotel itself is so neat to look at. We couldn't have been more happy.

Perfect Riad for our stay with most lovely host

We loved our stay at Riad Sesame. As soon as we arrived the hostess gave us tea and cookies and helped us with our bags while her son showed us the roof. It was quiet, comfortable, clean, and in a great location to walk anywhere in the city. We walked from the train station, which was a long but nice walk, and then we walked everywhere in the city. There are a number of places for food and shopping right down the street. We had breakfast every morning on the roof terrace and it was delicious and really peaceful, I also spent a few hours reading up there in the sun. The best part though was the hospitality from the hostess who runs it, she was wonderful (she doesn't speak a lot of English - so learn a few words in French of Arabic to chat with her :) and made us feel really welcome.

Lovely Riad near to Souks and Medina

The lady at the Hotel could not speak English but she was a very warm and attentive host. she ensured that the room was cleaned daily, sheets changed and provided us with a heater as we were cold at night. Nothing was too much for her and when we asked for an omelette at breakfast, the next day we had one. When we left we were helped with our suitcases and she followed us out onto the main road and hailed a tax for us. She was sorry to see us go and we felt as if we were leaving a friend behind.

Il Riad è molto semplice e ben tenuto, un'oasi di pace all'interno del caos della Medina di Marrakech. Nei dintorni ci sono molti locali, ristoranti e negozi e in circa quindici minuti di camminata si raggiunge la piazza Jemaa el Fna. Personale gentilissimo e disponibile, soprattutto Latifa la proprietaria. Colazione ottima. grazie di tutto! :)

séjour riad sésame

séjour de 3 nuits ,prévu initialement en couple mais suite à accident de ma compagne,je me suis retrouvé en solo. acceuil sympa mais je pense que le personnel est hypocrite.J'ai demande au propriétaire le remboursement du second petit déjeuner qui n'a pas été consommé mais refus catégorique. confort de la chambre minimal ,pas de télévision alors que sur le site il est annoncé télévision présente. j'ai fait une réclamation auprès d'hotels.com mais la réponse apportée m'a mis en colère contre le personnel de ce riad. Je déconseille de séjourner dans ce riad ,il y a mieux et moins cher et surtout le plus important pour moi c'est l'honneteté du personnel ce qui n'est pas le cas dans ce riad.

Fantastisches Hotel, leider sehr laut

Großes, schönes Zimmer, sehr schmackhaftes (inkludiertes Frühstück). Nach Rat fragen kann man nur, wenn man Französisch kann; Englisch wird keines gesprochen. Leider sind die Zimmer direkt neben dem Speisesaal, der von der Familie offenbar als Wohnzimmer genutzt wird: Abends wurde stets direkt vor meiner Tür lautstark diskutiert und gelacht, sodass ich nie vor Mitternacht schlafen konnte.

Bastante acolhedor

O Riad é simples, mas bastante acolhedor. Embora seja necessário caminhadas para chegar aos locais turísticos, sua localização é estratégica para chegar tanto aos pontos da medina como também a parte moderna de Marrakech. Mas o que há de melhor neste Riad é Latiffa, a recepcionista que com sua simpatia cativante conquista todos os hóspedes.

wir hatten eine sehr schöneZeit gehabt

Von Marrakesch CTM Bus station (Banhnhof nähe) zum Hotel Sesam wollte der Taxi Fahrer umgerechnet 6 Euro für 3 Km??, Ok wir waren zu zweit mit zwei großen Gepäcks trotzdem habe ich abgelehnt, dann kam jemand auf mich zu, für 4 Euro bis zu Hotel (immer verhandeln). Mit Smartphone und GPS geht alles einfach. Angekommen, frau Latifa hat uns herzlich empfangen mit Tee und Kuchen das war echt super. Frühstück beinhaltet Marmelade Butter Kaffee und Baguette für 25 Euro die Nacht + Taxe ist OK. Wir haben das Mittagsessen immer draussen genommen. man kann JAmaa lafna 10 min zu fuss erreichen. Taxis nehmen diese Strecke nie an. weil zu kurz ist. sonst immer ansteigen dann die richtung nennen. Kostet meisten 10 DH (1 Euro). besucht haben wir Palace Bahia und Sitti Fatma (50 km südlich von Marrakesch) groß Taxi kostet 2 bis 3 Euro pro person. Ausflug ist empfehlenswert.

Alojamiento muy recomendable

Riad Sesame ha sido un gran acierto. Servicio muy bueno de los dueños,habitación grande y limpia. Wifi gratis. Desayuno rico y abundante,que sirven en la terraza. Situado a 8 minutos andando de la famosa plaza Fna. Recomendamos elegir este Hotel por la posibilidad de dormir en un auténtico Riad en Marrakech,confortable,decorado al detalle,muy limpio y cerca del centro.

Prima Riad, verzorgd, vriendelijke eigenaresse.

Goed slaapadres. Zeer vriendelijke, behulpzame dame des huizes.(=Franstalig) Ze verzorgt een prima ontbijtje op het dakterras. Leuke Marrokaans ingerichte kamer/ gemeenschappelijke zitruimte beneden. Goed onderhouden. Mijn tv vertoonde tijdelijk alleen Duitse zenders. Maar ja, wie kijkt er nog tv als je een mobiel/tablet en een goede gratis Wi-Fi verbinding op je kamer hebt. Riad is gesitueerd in een verborgen straatje in de volkswijk "Bab Doukala". Zie aldaar hoe de locals hun dagelijkse boodschappen doen. Zelf heb ik geen "petit taxi" gebruikt en kon prima naar alle bezienswaardigheden lopen. (tip: download een app met offline navigatie want je verdwaald in de souks)

Riad calme et bien placé dans la médina, a 15 minutes à pied de guéliz. Des patrons très gentils et un personnel chaleureux et accueillant. En bref on s'y sent très vite comme chez soi! j'ai déjà séjourné dans de grands hôtels mais c'est définitivement l'adresse que je préfère. JE RECOMMANDE À 100%
