My stay at Riad Pachavana was quite nice, although there were a few hiccups along the way. The warm hospitality from the staff, especially Hamza and Kamisa, truly made the experience shine.

Riad Pachavana offers a lovely ambiance with beautiful decor that makes you feel at home. The staff, especially Khamisa, are amazing and truly enhance the experience. However, the distance to Jemaa El Fna square felt longer than advertised, and the rooftop terrace could use more sunbeds.

The Riad is situated within the Medina, which means it's central, yet the walk to Jemaa El Fna square took longer than expected. While it was a quieter area, the initial approach to the Riad wasn't very pleasant.

The breakfast served in the courtyard was good, featuring fresh Moroccan bread, pancakes, and orange juice. But the dinner on my last night was the real highlight, particularly their Tajine, which was one of the best I had in Morocco.

My stay at Riad Pachavana had its highs and lows. The riad itself is beautiful and well-kept, with a serene atmosphere that provided a welcome escape from the lively streets of Marrakech. However, I experienced significant service issues, particularly with meal times and some staff interactions that left much to be desired. Overall, while the ambiance is charming. the hospitality could certainly improve.

I stayed in the Turquoise room, which offered a comfortable double bed and ensured privacy. However, I found it smaller than I expected and shared a wall with the adjacent room, which made things a bit noisy.
Service

The service was incredibly welcoming at times, especially from Hamiza, who provided great local guidance. Yet, I faced moments where staff displayed rudeness and didn't adhere to the service standards expected. It felt frustrating, especially when I experienced delays waiting for basic service like water.

Breakfast offerings were decent but quite basic, primarily sweet items with limited choice. Dining experiences felt below par compared to other places I stayed in Morocco, as they lacked local authenticity and varied options.

The location was ideal in terms of culture, yet it's quite a walk to Djemaa El Fna square-more like 30 minutes rather than the advertised 20. The path to the Riad wasn't the most pleasant, but it felt like an oasis once inside.
