Dar Touyir Hotel Marrakech - Reviews - Marrakech

First of all, I want to apologize for the English I'm Using in this review. English is not my native language, and I'm not that good in writing in foreign languages.

Now the review of the Dar Touyir 'Riad' in Marrakesh. When we arrived at the airport just outside of Marrakesh, we had absolutely no idea where we could find the Dar Touyir Riad, but there was a taxi waiting for us (send by the hotel owners), to take us to the riad, in the middle of the Medina.

When we arrived at the front door of the riad, we assumed we were brought to a wrong address. the street was dusty, there was no sign on the door, and it didn't look like a hotel at all. but when the taxi-driver knocked on the door, and it opened, we knew it was the right place after all:

a beautifull white-plastered courtyard, flanked with flowers, and a small fountain in the middle! just amazing. we were welcomed by the staff and we were invited to have a cup of Moroccan Tea.

our room was, just like the other 6 rooms in the riad, located along the courtyard. the room was very clean, and after a while the staff brought some fresh flowers and some maroccan cookies in. the bathroom was clean as well, but had no bath (just toilet and shower).

the staff will provide new towels every day, and clean the sheets of your bed, when your out.

and Every morning, Breakfast is served (at any time you want) on the roof-terrace. this terrace is fantastic: lots of beatiful plants, plenty of room to have your breakfast in the shade, but you can take a seat in the sun as well.

finaly, the riad provides free bottles of water or soda, and when you pay €15 pp you can have a delicious maroccan diner!

here a small summary of the pro's of Dar Touyir:
-the staff is very friendly
-everything is very clean
-the place just looks beautifull
-it's a perfect location (in the medina) to explore the beautiful 'red city' of Marrakesh

some things that we can improve in Dar Touyir:
-The staff doesn't speak English (most of them at least), so you have to speak French to them. The owner speaks fluently English, French, Dutch and a little bit of German/Arabic/Berber.
-the doors of your room can not be locked from the outside, so when you leave the riad, your door stays open. seams a bit weird, but nevertheless the raid is a very safe place, and i can not imagine that anything will be stolen when you're out.
