AMAZING, very typical and immersive Riad, nice and clean, confortable and warm, and Simo is a great host !! We will keep beautiful memories of this travel. We stayed in Simo’s Riad for a few days, early December, and Simo became a friend, he was a great host and very helpful during our stay in Marrakech. Simo actually has two hotels, one is located just near the airport, “Dar Sarsar Airport”, and the other one, “Dar Sarsar Artistic Music”, is located right inside the Medina, which is amazing if you’re walking, the location is perfect to visit Marrakech properly. Simo has been amazing with us, very available and reliable, we spoke on the phone before we left England. When we arrived he found a bottle of wine for us, no matter what you need, Simo can help you. He even drove us back to the airport, and the day before he drove us to the Agafay desert and came to pick us up on the next day, for a very friendly price. The Riad in the Medina is a very typical house with a beautiful open patio, all the rooms are accessible from the patio. It is located in a very secure place, you can lock the door with a padlock, but it’s perfectly safe anyway. The room was really nice and the price was very reasonable, little kitchen if needed, private shower, toilet and bathroom in our room with lovely warm water. It is a typical Medina house so it is very immersive, nice and warm room, confortable bed and thick mattress, with a cupboard for your clothes and a table with chair if you need to work. I could only recommend it, we were very glad to choose this Riad, and to be fair we can’t wait to go back !!! ADVICE : Google maps won’t be your best friend on this trip, so I advice you download an ‘offline map’ of Marrakech on Google map, with the hotel’s wifi, because you can get lost quite quickly ;) Always go in the direction of ‘Rue Azbezt’ and you’ll find the Riad.

The riad owner is very friendly and full of hospitality, and he supports all what you need. When you first visit the riad, you may have a little difficulty to find the place because Medina is like a maze. If that's the case, it's located right behind the Riad Karmela (4 star hotel). You can check the location on the map and get the direction there easily. Once you find the Riad Karmela, Dar Sarsar is literally right behind there. Also, this means the security is great here. The security person is right there 24/7. And the location is perfect and close to everywhere you want to explore when you are in Marrakech. You cannot really find the room like this especially with this price range in such a great location. Since the tiles and walls are newly replaced few weeks ago from now (Sep/2023), you can enjoy the extra clean but still traditional Moroccan architecture style. To see and to actually live in the traditional artisan work is something you cannot experience in a high-end hotel. You can enjoy not just being the hotel guest like in any other places, but feeling the home. As for the cleanness of the place, some people may find it the level of the cleanness is different, depending on where you are from. For me, as a Japanese, where everything is super organized and all is crazy neat/clean/sanitized, it was different. It doesn't mean the place is not clean. It's just the concept of the cleanness is different. But if you find the difference is uncomfortable, you can ask the owner to clean the room. (To me, it was just comfortable as it is though.) He is very open to your requests and the staff will take care of them right away. And the great thing is the owner has a great personality that the guest can easily ask what you want. He always cares if you are happy with everything he can provide. I booked the room for 1 week first, and I was thinking if it wasn't nice I could change the place after 1 week.

Simo is an excellent host who goes out of his way to understand your needs and assist you in any way possible. Imeme, who works at the riad, is also fantastic. She is very friendly and provides valuable advice on making the most of your time in Marrakesh, including tips on visiting places and buying things.

Improvements can be made in communication, especially before the trip to reduce misunderstandings. The staff is eager to improve. Clear communication is the key.

Good location, decently priced. it is self catering Riad, very simple property, Simo who manage this is amazing, very accomodating to everything we needed as group of friends traveling. Thank you!

My stay here was very good. I was picked up from the airport, and the owners family treated me like one of their own. I lost medication, the owner happily took me to doctor, also translated for me. The most genuine people run this hotel, I can't thank them enough for making my stay comfortable. I'll be coming back to this place whenever in Marrakech

The hospitality is unmatched! When we arrived a woman started making tea for us. The location is good close to the center and the markets yet quite. The place is beautiful and feels homely, cosy. It is also artistic, we painted and left behind art. The host really encourages creativity in the space.
