The riad in Marrakesh is unfortunately not very clean. The room looks fine on the surface and the courtyard of the riad is gorgeous. We have now spent a total of 4 days in the riad. The room on the first day was very dirty, especially the shower is a horror. The drain seems to have never been cleaned and has turned a bright mustard yellow over time. On the second, third and fourth days we were in the Atlas Mountains. On the fifth day we came back to the riad and asked for a different room. The management was kind enough to put us in room 6, which is on the first floor. However, the room here was not in the best condition either. The toilet did not always drain, the shower was dirty, the bed was so uncomfortable that from day 5 onwards I had such severe back pain that I could no longer sit up without help. My partner did not have any back problems, but he also found the pillows rock hard and the bed very uncomfortable. Unfortunately, I am also someone who is very picky when it comes to cleanliness. At the Riad, you get the feeling that everything was polished for the photos and then the Riad was left to decay. Sockets are not properly covered. Tiles are chipped and poorly patched or not patched at all. Joints are dirty. Everything is cleaned superficially, the bed is made and the floor is mopped. All in all, at first glance, it seems OK, but at second glance, you notice that the attention to detail is lacking. The manager was very friendly and competent, which unfortunately cannot be said of every employee. The taxi service confirmed the wrong pick-up time for us on the return flight, so that at the end, a Riad employee very rudely told us that we were late and that the driver was already waiting for us and was now leaving without us. Luckily, we were able to catch this at the last minute, but this is not good organization on the part of the Riad and the cooperating taxi company. When paying the bill, we were also charged the tourist tax several times, even though we had already paid for one day. You don't get honest advice, but rather get the feeling that the Riad is trying to add half a euro to all tourist activities. In some cases we were quoted three times the price for activities, so you should get comprehensive information first. The wellness offer is an overpriced joke.
