We booked this place via a friend of ours, who knows the owner and made us a recommendation. While she had told us how nice it was, it definitely exceeded expectations. After making your way to the Riad via the busy, winding streets of the souk you are greeted by what can only be described as a little piece of... More

I choose this riad after reviewing several properties and travellers' reviews and, after staying there, I found it reasonably priced in comparison to others, especially considering its very central location. The location is very quiet, at the bottom of a narrow alley inside the main souk area - which might seem somehow intimidating at first (at night the market is... More

We chose this Riad after reading other Trip Advisor reviews, After corresponding with the owner, we made our reservation and paid a deposit. Before we did this the owner Cathy said she would send a driver to meet us at the railway station, at no cost to us. After we paid the deposit this service was withdrawn. She then arranged... More

We were initially a bit worried about faxing our credit card details, but don't worry, Cathy will quickly send you a receipt. The owner Cathy and her staff are attentive and charming and went out of their way to make our stay pleasant. Sala , one of the staff, met us from our taxi and, relieving us of our cases,... More

Stayed three nights in Riad Dollar des Sables in Marrakech (Feb 6-9, 2011). Although it is just a two-minute walk from the hustle bustle of the famous Djemaa el fna and right in the heart of the Medina where hundreds of souks are, the guest house with a particular charm is situated in a calm neighborhood. Its whole staff is... More

I had the opportunity to come back and forth from trekking in the dessert and climbing the Atlas Mountains to this little Riad. And suffice to say, on all accounts I was more than pleasantly surprised with the quality of the service provided. It ranged from the small scented petals on the bed linen, the arranging of my messy clothes... More

Fantastic service from all the staff in the Riad and Cathy, the English-speaking owner, was so helpful and knowledgable and recommended some of the more reliable places to shop. Fantastic recommendations for places to eat and drink in the medina - Cafe Arabe and Villa Flore being highlights. Highly recommend an evening meal cooked by Mouna, the Riad's resident cook... More

My wife and I stayed in the 'Dollar des Sables Suite' for 4 nights for our Honeymoon at the start of October 2010. Overall it was a great choice of accommodation. Cathy and her staff really are wonderful hosts. I would recommend the airport pick-up option. I was a bit dubious about this at first as they charge £17. My... More

This wonderful Riad is a real gem, tastefully and sumtiously decorated it is a real treat for the senses, Cathy and her staff take time to welcome you and make every effort to ensure you have a wonderful stay.
