Riad les Bougainvilliers

This place is right off one of the main shopping alleys in the medina so it's fun to have that hustle and bustle within a one-minute walk but the riad itself is quiet and peaceful. It's a 5 minute walk to the main plaza. The decor and rooms were lovely and the breakfast was good. The staff were very nice, accommodating, and helpful. Definitely stay in a Riad over a hotel when in Marrakesh!

Situated about 25-30 minutes from Marrakech main airport (RAK) the hotel is a convenient location both in terms of distance from the airport and the busy downtown old Medina area. We booked a return journey whilst at home which was less than £50/60Euros/$62 in total. One tip, is that your driver will actually be outside the main entrance as you exit into the arrivals hall – and you cannot return once you have exited. There are some pick ups inside, but these were the minority. An additional point of note is that the Hotel/Riad is not accessible by vehicle. Your driver will probably drop you off at the end of the nearest street which is about 200m from the turning to enter the Riad. Your driver will be able to call a street porter to take your bags to the door for a 20 Dirham tip (£1.80/2Euros/$2). Alternatively you can walk if you prefer. The Riad itself is quite indistinct and down a quiet lane. There is a round plaque on the outside door, but no other identifying features. If unsure just as a local, as they are all quite friendly. You have to press the buzzer to gain entry and there is a 24hr member of staff to greet you upon arrival. There are no forms or paperwork to fill in, nor do you need to hand over a credit card for the city room taxes – as you pay these at the end of your stay in cash. For 4 of us for 5 nights it was 520Dhs. You enter a small entrance lobby and your room will either be on the ground or upper floors. The family rooms are on the ground level. We stayed in the ‘Orchidee’ room, which comprised 2 rooms, one with a double bed and the other had 2 single beds. The rooms are clean and functional with a full size bath and shower room with hairdryer and heated towel rail. If you are expecting all mod cons then these traditional riads are not for you. There are no TVs, tea or coffee facilities or fancy toiletries. Sure there are some nice smelling shower gels and shampoo, but they are tiny and will last you one wash. The double room has a large wardrobe area with small writing desk, chair and small separate table, with a collapsible luggage rack. The double bed is on the firm side, but the bedding was of good quality, clean and fresh. The air conditioning was fully functional and much needed. The wifi is free, and although not the fastest, was enough for us all to check our emails and make whatsapp calls when needed. There is also a nice roof terrace where you can sunbathe or have breakfast, but does get quite hot There is also a small rectangular plunge pool on the ground floor to cool off in, which seemed to get regular use. It was clean and well maintained. There are also no room cards to use, just an optional key and padlock if you wish, although the building is very secure and each room has a functioning safe. You can close yourself in at night via a bar across the door. Breakfast is just off the centre court yard (or in it if you wish), which is a very basic and simple affair. It is served between 8am and 10am and comprises
