Hotel Riad Opale Marrakech (Marrakech, Morocco)

While guests seemed to like the riad in general, it seems it was the pool area and the surrounding courtyard that most impressed them. They felt that the pool was a decent size, more than big enough for actually swimming in, and that the surrounding courtyard was a cool and calm oasis in the bustling city.

While it was said to be on the southern edge of the medina, guests nonetheless found the riad's location very central and convenient. The Jamaa El Fna was said to be only a few minutes walk away, as were a number of other Marrakech attractions. Guests also seemed to like being in the historic district, feeling that it provided a more authentic experience.

Guests really seemed to approve of the décor of the riad, saying it was exactly what they were hoping for in a traditional Moroccan inn, and that it left them in no doubt at all as to where they were.

Firstly, it must be stated that the reviews of Riad Opale were overwhelmingly positive. It was hard to find negative reviews. It was mentioned that the hotel does not accept credit cards for payment on-site, which they found a little inconvenient.

Though not often mentioned, a few guests did say that they found the Wi-Fi system to be a bit unreliable, with the connection dropping every now and then.

Some guests pointed out that there were no locks on the bedroom doors. The riad is small and well looked after, so they did not really feel in danger, but did consider it a bit strange.
