We arrived at Marrakech after spending 3 fabulous days in Fes in a lovely riad, so Dar Silsila had a lot to live up to. Luckily it did! We were picked up at the train station, which was a big help, and taken to the riad, which is just inside the medina. The riad is stunning - modern (not decorated in the traditional Moroccan style), beautiful and full of tiny little details that made it perfect. The rose petals scattered in the bathroom when we arrived were lovely! The room and bathroom were large and there were lots of seating areas in the riad for sitting in the open courtyard and reading after a busy day in the souks. The breakfasts were lovely with home made yoghurts, bread, fruit and lovely morcoccan crumpets and pancakes every day. The mint tea was also excellent. But best of all was the location. It's just a 5 mintues walk from the souks and the big square, perfect for dinner and shopping, but also close to a busy street where you can get cash and pick up taxis. The service was also wonderful - the owner Jean Patrik was really helpful and even drive us to the airport himself when there was a mix up with our taxi back to the airport. If you're planning a trip to Marrakech, I'd really recommend you stay here.

We found this location via TRIPADVISOR and all we can do is confirm the excellent rating. A beautiful location in the medina of Marrakech - when you arrive there at night as we did it's a bit thrilling to walk through the narrow alleys, but don't worry, it's safe! You knock at the big, wooden door and paradise opens up! A relaxed, stylish atmosphere, very peaceful and far away from the hustle and bustle of this exciting city. Especially the waterfall in the "patio" and all the roses wherever you look immediately calm you down. The rooms (9 in total) are all perfectly designed in a different style, so are the salons where you breakfast, tea or dinner. On top of the riad you find a spacious roof terrace with a good view over the roofs of Marrakech.

The service is excellent. Patron Jean Patrick - who was out this evening - just called when we have entered the door to make sure that we have arrived well. If you need help with regards to reaturants, shopping locations or train tickets - he will organize it for you with the help of his extremely friendly staff. Follow his advice and have dinner at the Al Fassia - excellent food and don't miss the Morrocan salad (kind of Italian antipasti with oriental influence).

If we go to Marrakech again, we will surely stay at this hip place!

Best regards from Hamburg, Germany!

I have just come back from spending a short week at Dar Silsila and found my stay there amazing. Our room was very clean and comfortable and the breakfast was lovely!!!!!

Jean-Patrick and his team make one feel really welcome and the service and attention to detail are excellent. The mint tea was lovely but my favourite part were the homemade biscuits - I'm having withdrawal symptons already!!!

I cannot rate this Riad highly enough and would without doubt recommend this as 'the place to stay' in Marrakech!!!

Dar Silsila is a very special riad, located near the smart boutique shops off Rue Mouassine and close to the souks and main square, making it very accessible to get to most places on foot.

We stayed for 6 nights at the Riad and wished it had been longer as Jean Patrick and his staff made it an exceptional and memorable week. Jean Patrick's service was the best I have experienced from organising the airport transfers to booking our restaurants (and asking for the best tables) and spa session to honest advice on the places to visit and the best ways to get there. We were made to feel very at home at Dar Silsila to the extent that we grew very attached to it and did not want to leave!

The riad itself is a serene and relaxing oasis from the hubbub of the medina but it was Jean Patrick's beautiful furnishings and design with little wacky touches that I loved the most, particularly the African Suite!

Abdul was also fantastic! He greeted us when we first arrived with delicious mint tea and mouth-watering biscuits (which we had to have every day after that) and his friendly and professional service was greatly appreciated. The girls and the night porter were also lovely and always greeted us with big smiles and could not do enough for us!

Overall, it was an incredible stay, due to Jean Patrick and his staff for making our first time in Marrakech effortless and very special in every way, thank you! I look forward to returning to Dar Silsila many times over!
