I loved my stay at Ryad El Borj; it was a stunning oasis right in the heart of Marrakesh, with excellent service from Daniel and Ali. The location was perfect, close to all the city's main attractions yet providing a peaceful retreat. The food was good, especially the homemade tagines. However, the breakfast service could be a bit slow at times, and the WiFi was spot on but might vary in different areas of the Riad.
