Mr & Mrs Smith

This tranquil riad, just off a residential street, is the perfect setting to escape from the chaos that is Marrakech! The staff service is faultless, they really couldn't do enough for you. The food, cooked to order for guests, in the evening was deliciously authentic.

I struggle to think of anything that could make this hotel any better.

This was a fab riad in a great location. Food was amazing and the roof terrace was excellent for a bottle of rose in the afternoon.

One of the most pleasant experiences my wife and I have had in a small boutique hotel. Staff excellent. Service excellent. Food excellent. Would recommend without hesitation.

I would recommend two lovely restaurants: Le Comptoir which is in the new town of Marrakech and has belly dancing and sensational food. It also has a very trendy and cool bar upstairs, a room where you can smoke shisha on the ground floor, the terrace area at the front and the main restaurant. It is very hip and trendy and has that dark misty Moroccan feel. Another restaurant to recommend would be Le Fondouk which is in the Medina, the old town of Marrakech. You are met by a restaurant guide out in the street with a candle who guides you to the restaurant, at first you are slightly mistrusting of this individual as it is not the norm, but honestly he does work for the restaurant and guides you there and back for your departure taxi. The roof terrace is the place to eat and the menus are so funky, given to you like scripts – very cool and very trendy!

During our wanders around Marrakech, we wandered into Kosy Bar (+212 (0)24 380324) in Place des Ferblantiers near the ruins of El Badi Palace. They do great sushi for when you've had enough lamb and chicken tajines.

Don't miss out on Café de la Poste (+33 (0)1 4265 8810) – a great French restaurant which has a lovely bar upstairs, prices are not low but is well worth a drink before or after dinner.
