If you're looking for the luxury tourist experience, this isn't it. If you want to experience the authentic vibrancy of a bustling, exciting city from the very heart of the action - book this hotel. We absolutely loved our trip to Marrakech. We loved where the Riad was situated, right in the middle of a busy residential area. We learned to follow the maze of alleyways, through street after street of colourful market stalls, jostling with scooters (some carrying the whole family), donkeys, tok-toks, trucks, locals and tourists, all the way to the Square. The sights, sounds and smells of the city are an assault to the senses in the best way. Mountains of dates, veg, sticky pastries, Aladdin's lamps, crockery, spices and goat heads piled on tables, or even on rugs on the ground. A rhythmic boom of Moroccan drums, the wail of the snake-charmers' pipe and the regular call to prayer from the minarets mingle with the chatter of the crowds. The smells of incense burning, tagines cooking and the abundance of herbs and spices for sale make it a truly immersive experience. The local people were friendly, welcoming and keen to make a few dirham. Aouad and his team were helpful and gracious. Riad Nerja was charming. We really had the most memorable holiday and highly recommend staying here to any intrepid explorer.
