Residence Alounsse

The pool was excellent, and the accommodation was clean and well maintained. Staff were very kind and went out of their way to make us comfortable. We had a very pleasant stay and would definitely come back.

The atmosphere at Riad Dar Sido was quiet and welcoming, with a real authentic feel. It’s beautifully decorated, and the staff were kind and attentive. A lovely, peaceful place for a relaxing stay in Marrakech, highly recommended.

Could happily stay here forever. The Riad is beautiful and stylish, and made our Marrakech visit even better. We were happy with every part of our stay, from start to finish. The most stunning hotel you’ll ever visit!

The only small downside was hearing people in the next room. Sound insulation isn’t great, though that seems common in riads. We kept quiet at night so we wouldn’t disturb the neighbours, and they were respectful too. Still, if I return to Marrakesh, I’d stay here again in a heartbeat. The staff were lovely: Abdel, Hassan, and especially Wadeed were always smiling and looked after us. We arrived after midnight and Abdel was waiting, carried our bags, and checked us in quickly. It’s close to the centre but on a quiet, well developed street, away from Medina’s noisy lanes. A taxi to medina cost 39 dirhams (3 USD /Eur) maximum, day or night. Our first room was underground, a deluxe double, but Wadeed at reception immediately upgraded us to a second-floor suite when I politely asked about changing rooms. It was spacious, clean, and just like the pictures. The bathroom was nice, towels fresh, and hot water ran all the time. Some people mention low water pressure, but that’s common in Morocco with the city’s 100-year-old plumbing, and it didn’t bother us. Breakfast was delicious and fresh. The breakfast area, terrace, and lounge chair were great places to relax after a long day.
