Riad Persephone

Very nice stay! Super friendly staff and excellent location for tourism.

I’m giving it a 1 because i had a live wire hanging from above my door that led to me getting shocked when I opened it two days after I mentioned a current of electricity shocking me when I used the sink and bathroom. The room also smelled like poop.

We stayed in Riad Persephone for 4 nights at the end of February. The riad itself has the right vibe that we were looking for in a typical Marrakech Riad. It's a bit rustic shabby chic, no perfect finishes, edges or airs and graces, some areas in need a little attention and care but generally did the job well. The courtyard is decorated with lovely plants and trees, true morrocan style furniture and a lovely breakfast is served here. Great coffee and orange juice, lovely pancakes and jams. The rooftop areas could do with some attention as some spaces are used for storage and could easily be presented more beautifully for a better experience. The standard rooms are small, comfy beds with enough storage for a few days and a rustic bathroom with lovely tilework. Some aspects need updating though like new shower curtains, shower surrounds have a bit of mould and more towels would be useful. The rooms weren't great at keeping out the noise of the city but you're in the centre of marrakech, a stones throw from the main jemaa el fna square so expect this! I brought ear plugs and had no trouble. Overall a lovely stay and perfect location. We felt safe and the staff were super friendly and helpful. Recommended.

Lovely Riad. Friendly hosts and delicious breakfast. Welcomed upon arrival. Very close to some lovely restaurants! Would recommend to others. Room had good functioning air conditioning. Would have given 5/5 if room was a bit more soundproof.
