avions la chambre Gentiane (la moins chère), elle est correcte pour un "1er prix", rien à dire. Chambre qui ferme à clef et il y a une armoire qui ferme également, penser à avoir un cadenas. Salle de bains avec 2 vasque et belle douche.Petit déjeuner copieux mais un peu répétif (domage).."

Nathalie et françois, le 29 avril 2009 "Great place to stay. French, English and Spanish spoken"
Note 10.0/10

"We stayed 4 nights in April 2009 at the ryad zouina in Marrakech.Simply lovely. Catherine and Maurice do their utmost to make your stay a pleasant one, and the Moroccan ladies who work in the house are adorable. Rooms are very clean and well kept, the swimming pool/ Jacuzzi in the patio is really ni

ce and the view from the terrace amazing. We came back just a few days ago but we are already quite determined to go back there asap with our three daughters. Out of 5 places we stayed at in various towns, Ryad Zouina was by far our favourite, though it was cheap. PS : Do have a go at the hammam ( you can go as a couple, unlike places in town...) and massages. They're just as delightful as the food served at the restaurant."

Benefits

Facilement accessible pour les voyageurs motorisés,très bien situé ( proximité des souks mais au calme/ proximité de la ville nouvelle aussi.Prestations dignes des hotels de prestige. Cuisine inoubliable à des tarifs défiants toute concurrence.Personnel souriant et très disponible. Que du bonheur !
