Riad Saad keeps things simple in the way a small medina guesthouse does. Breakfast is included and served in the dining room, with fruit and in-room breakfast on offer, and Moroccan specialities can be arranged for dinner on request. The riad is built around a central patio with a fountain and has a planted rooftop terrace. Free WiFi runs throughout at 105 Mbps, the front desk is staffed around the clock with express check-in and check-out, and housekeeping is daily. A tour desk can set up cooking classes, cultural tours and walking or bike tours, and car and bicycle hire and an airport shuttle can be arranged for an extra charge. Public parking is available nearby for a fee.
Riad Saad stands at 99 Sidi Boulouqate, deep in the Medina of Marrakech and a two-minute walk from Jemaa el-Fnaa square. Marrakech-Menara Airport is only about three kilometres away — roughly a twenty-minute drive by the time you clear the medina traffic — and taxis run to the edge of the old town, from where the riad is a short walk through the lanes. The lanes here are narrow and mostly closed to cars, so vehicles stop at the nearest gate and staff can help with luggage. Marrakesh train station, with services to Casablanca and beyond, is around three kilometres away, and the Jamaa El Fna bus stop is a few minutes on foot. Public parking is available nearby for a fee.
You could hardly be more central. Jemaa el-Fnaa — the UNESCO-listed square with its storytellers, food stalls and snake charmers — is barely 220 metres away, and the souks spread out from its northern edge. Within a short walk are the Bahia Palace, the ruined El Badi Palace and the Saadian Tombs, along with the Dar Si Said Museum of Moroccan arts and the courtyards of Le Jardin Secret. The Ben Youssef Madrasa lies a little further north through the medina. For a change of pace, the Jardin Majorelle and the Yves Saint Laurent Museum are about two and a half kilometres away in the Ville Nouvelle, an easy taxi ride. Spring and autumn are the kindest seasons; wear shoes with grip for the uneven medina paving.
