Riad Sable Chaud

Prós: As senhoras da cozinha e da limpeza eram adoráveis! Inclusivamente, a senhora da limpeza (que não me lembro do nome) deu-nos umas pequenas lembranças. Muito querida mesmo! O senhor que nos atendeu inicialmente também era simpático. Riad super silencioso de noite, situado numa zona calma, onde apenas passam motas e fica a uns 20 minutos da Praça Jemaa El Fna. O nosso quarto era o ……… não tinha janelas para a rua, apenas uma para dentro do Riad. Ótimo wifi no quarto. Bom AC. Os sofás no terraço eram agradáveis. Contras: O senhor (penso chamar-se Momo) parecia bastante simpático, mas revelou-se um autêntico interesseiro, especialmente na forma como tentou vender as excursões/tours. Denunciou-se em variadíssimas atitudes: primeiro tentou vender-nos os preços absurdos deles, depois quando baixou fez-nos acreditar que baixou de tal forma que ficou sem comissão, dizendo-nos que aos Portugueses e Espanhóis como eramos vizinhos e ganhávamos pouco faziam-nos bons preços, aos de outros países eles pagavam na boa o preço de tabela deles. Mesmo assim ficavam de longe mais caras do que no Get Your Guide e afins. Então passou a ser tudo mau na boca dele e dizia que os comentários bons eram pagos às pessoas para dar classificações altas. Mas o dele não!! Nas atividades dele vinham à porta do Riad buscar-nos, nas dos outros não…e então não podíamos tomar o pequeno-almoço (já pago) no Riad pois era cedo. Uma grande mentira! Nem no dele nos foram buscar ao Riad e ainda esperámos tempo sem fim pelo motorista. Cancelámos a segunda atividade com ele e claramente ficou chateado, nem se interessou em nos perguntar se correu tudo bem na atividade vendida por ele! Coincidência ou não, a da internet correu bem e no fim tiveram essa atenção. Pequeno-almoço fraco e com pouca quantidade, tivemos que pedir sempre mais. Para além de que, a comida era toda aquecida, inclusivamente o pão! O chá não era grande coisa. Piscina lá dentro não tinha água com boa cor. Piscina no terraço é um engodo pelas fotos, parece uma pequena fonte…e sem água! Simplesmente não serve para nada!

Fatima has not only a big heart, she also serves delicious breakfast and meals. Together with Zaida they make this place a lovely Riad to stay. Momo organized our Trips really well. Thanks for being so caring with us and making sure, we have a relaxing time.

Want to have the best Moroccan experience with family, stay here. Absolutely amazing, Fatima made the most wonderful breakfast for us each day. All the staff went over and above and nothing was an issue. Stayed with family, 4 of us in the room. Clean, spacious and gives you the best Moroccan experience. Rooftop is an added bonus to relax. Amazing neighbourhood you will come back with lots of friends in Morocco. I am already planning the next trip and could not recommend it enough. Mum was always up for helping about exertions and dinner in the evening. Location is wonderful. Everything is so readily available So I have to get out and local market is open till early hours of the morning restaurants, restaurants, shops, and walking distance to all the immunities, Saida was very sweet and made sure we had everything in the rooms available without ever asking for it. Truly a wonderful experience in Morocco and staying here made it hundred times better.

Great welcome. Very comfortable room and bed. Nothing was too much trouble for any of our requests. For a true Riad experience this is it. We had meals and breakfast and everything was cooked freshly. Thanks

I and my wife really enjoyed our stay at Riad Sable Chaud. I wanted to go for something more traditional than a hotel, and staying at this Riad was definitely what I wanted. The room was tidy when we arrived and the working assistant made sure it was kept spotless. The staff at the Riad were amazing, especially the sister who cleaned up the rooms. The breakfast and mint tea was a nice touch too, however, we did not eat lunch or dinner at the Riad so I cannot comment on that. The showers had hot water which was great. The location is good too, a 20-minute (ish) walk and you can get to Koutobia, Jemaa el Frna, Souks, etc.

very clean place thanks to the two women who work there, very helpful and kind. really nice. Unlike Momo, the gentleman who welcomed us on the first day was helpful, kind and in the following days we had a mix-up for arrangements made for excursions and from that moment on he was very grumpy towards us. he didn't even say hello to us when we left, and we waited 30 minutes for the taxi to go back to the airport. very clean place, everything perfect, except for the behavior of Momo.

We stayed for a week at the Riad and it was perfect. The building is cool, beautiful and well decorated. The plunge pool was such a bonus. Very clean and well kept by Fatima who was a delight, always with a massive friendly smile. We dined one evening there, absolutely delicious, and had the best breakfasts every moring served by Sabri. Perfect location for a walk to the palace, Jemaa el-fnaa, souks etc. and Momo can organise many trips further affield. I highly recommend it. Thank you!

We stayed at the riad for 1 week. The place is very peaceful, far away from the mess of marrakech. But still walking distance to Jeema el fna and the main attractions. We needed a relaxing and quiet place and we found it. Only thing we heard it was the birds, of the garden! The place is very Moroccan style and the host, momo, he will make you feel the real Moroccan atmosphere. With beautiful tea and amazing food! Definitely to try. The cleaning lady ( she wears glasses) I don't know her name, was top class. She was very sweet, our room was spotless, and every day she left a different detail ( a rose, for example) which we found so kind and when we left she gave us a small gift. We didn't speak, as we have no French or Arabic but we felt very spoiled all the time. In front of the riad there is a bakery, real Moroccan making bread. They are very nice and they showed us their place and how they make the bread. Lovely people! For breakfast momo gave us every day a different kind of pastry so we got to try different things. The only problem is internet, it's very slow and it's really annoying, if you need it do not rely on it. There is a lovely terrace , you can stay on sunbeds or have a meal, see the sunset. Also there is a very small pool which we did not use. I cried already the day before to leave and also the day we left, I will miss the place. Thanks Riad sable chaud! Laura and Gavin
