We stayed at the Riad El Nour for one week in July 2010. It was the first time to Morocco for the both of us and we couldn't have picked a better place to stay. From the moment we stepped in the door we were welcomed with an extensive and bespoke brief about the many wonderful things Marrakech has to offer. The riad itself was beautiful, fantastically clean and comfortable and querkily, individualisticaly, unlike anywhere we have ever stayed before. It was also incredible value for money. The dinner we had in the adjacent Riad Karmela (under same ownership) was delicious and the setting just as beautiful. The breakfast that was also served here was very good too. The rooftop terrace was the perfect place to sunbathe, read and relax, and the dip pool was wonderful to cool off in.
The taxi from the airport provided by the Riad is much recommended, the driver was lovely and very helpful. The staff were all friendly, polite and extremely accommodating. The room was kept very clean daily with a fresh bottle of much needed water every morning, clean towels and the rooftop terrace kept tidy with towels and shade provided.
We took on board much of the advice given to us by the Riad owners and found it to be spot on. We would thoroughly recommend dining at both La Tanjia restaurant and Le Fondouk whilst in Marrakech if anyone gets the chance!
Should anyone be planning a trip to Marrakech anytime soon we would be only too happy to recommend to them the Riad El Nour or Riad Karmela for a perfect trip!
