Reviews of Riad Sable Chaud

Breakfast was very good. staff very nice and the Riad very comfy. Also the roundtrip to the airport was arranged very well!

One small thing.. the trip to the Agafay desert booked via the accommodation was a little overpriced. The trip itself was very good!

the staff are very friendly, the breakie is excellent, the location is convenient to the different markets.

Fantastic home cooked fresh breakfast, fresh fruit. Perfect before your day out ahead.

There was nothing to dislike

The property is a great riad, breakfast was a fixed menu, the staff was nice, the location was good for people who want to live the real Medina

It could have been more clean, no change of towel, and we paid extra for the water in the room when it’s essential

The location was excellent, right in the centre of the Medina. If you want to feel like you're staying in an authentic part of town, this was great. The hotel was very beautifully decorated. We loved the Moroccan designs and patterns. The room was comfortable, extra blanket and a shower. There was plenty of plug sockets, lights and a safe. Food is provided if requested, as are trips recommendations and journeys back to the airport. All staff were very friendly and helpful, they went out of their way to help us and accommodate our needs, and communicated in a variety of languages, such as English, Spanish, French etc. The room was secure and we were given keys to use throughout our stay.

Whilst the kitchen was open, the staff went out of their way to help provide for us. However, once closed, there was nothing available to help ourselves such as drink making facilities that we could access in the room or communal areas. It would be beneficial to have either a tea or coffee maker for guests to help themselves or/and a drinks machine for water or soft drinks. The hotel provided food for breakfast and dinner, if requested. We were a bit disappointed with the food. On the first evening we were given Moroccan Tagine, which was very flavourful. My husband enjoyed his and found it filling as he had the chicken. But the vegetarian option was just the vegetables, nothing else. A few slices of potatoes, sliced carrot and half a tin of peas. That was considered an acceptable vegetarian meal! There wasn't a menu and we had no idea what we were getting until it arrived. I think we were charged far too much for the quantity given, especially the veggie options, which was essentially the accompanying vegetables for the meat dish. The breakfast was described as Mediterranean. But sadly, it was not. The tiny pancakes and crepes were absolutely delicious, and had they offered us more I probably wouldn't be mentioning the breakfast now. However, besides the small crepe or pancake, there was a small piece of fruit (no choice), dry, stale bread (not toast), and a cake or biscuit. No cereal, yoghurts, choice of fruits, pastries, toast, eggs. It was more like a snack than a meal. Which was a shame, because the staff were so very lovely and helpful. I think if they could add to their menu, including a reasonable veggie option, add more choice to the breakfast and make drinks available in the rooms or communal area, I would give it 10/10. I would stay again, but eat somewhere else.

Rooms were nice and clean. The staff was super available and very very welcoming. Discreet and peaceful atmosphere as there aren't many rooms. The riad is like a home and gives you the feel of the Moroccan tradition. Very quiet. The area in which the riad is located is about 25 min walk to the main square and only 5 min to the "busy area.

The terrace could be better taken care of, it would boost the experience for the clients.

The staff were very nice.

Water shortage.

Fatima the cook was excellent, spoke English, Spanish, Arabic and Berber. The cleaner was great also...she understood English and did an excellent job. Thank you to Mohammed for taking me to the pharmacy when I was so ill.

The other employee Mo Mo was aggressive with trying to sell excursions, rude, did not speak English, angry and was the driver who was supposed to pick us up at the airport who didn't pick us up. He did not give us a receipt when we left so at the last minute we paid a lot more money in cash that we did not expect. The place is very hard to find,, luggage in a wheelbarrow has to transported..narrow streets and no mention of this online

The staff were all so lovely, very comfortable room and the food was delicious!

- very friendly, helpfull staff - a really nice place to stay - our 'base camp' each time we came back to Marrakesh

Nice rooms, clean , we were given a bigger room. Nice breakfast. Lovely Lady who did breakfast. Rooms always remade when we came back in.

Area is run down. No trouble at all though. Booked trips through the owner, and paid a lot more than should of done. He is also a tour guide and drove us to Ourika Valley, ate lunch with us and disappeared and we were left to pay for his. Very cheeky !!

There were a lot of friendly people cleaning the riad and the rooftop terras was provided with nice bed to relax on.

The pictures of the terras were romanticized. The pictures did not lie but made it look more cute. We thought the riad was provided with a rooftop swimmingpool, however this turned out to be a watertap with no water inside.

I loved the size of the room. The food was amazing, and Mohamed was very nice.

Everything was great, nothing to complain about.

It was truly exceptional having the opportunity to stay in a Riad in the heart of the Medina. The staff were so warm, friendly and helpful. Special mention to Mohammed who was indispensable and helped with everything from booking my excursions to walking me to the nearest ATM. As a solo traveller it meant the world to have an extra cushion of support and care.

Very large and tastefully furnished room. Comfortable bed and good wifi. The breakfast prepared by the ladies was good and varied. Their incredible courtesy.

The dinner was below expectations, but probably because it was heated in the riad and not cooked expressly.

The staff were very friendly and attentive. The riad traditional and quiet. Our bedroom and bathroom were comfortable and adequate. The tagines were excellent.

The stairs to the upper floors need better hand rails. Some of the posts supporting the ropes were loose! The lighting in the bedroom, whilst varied and atmospheric, could have a brighter option also.
