The Kbour and Chou Riad was a lovely place to stay in Marrakech. Nicolas is a very easy going, pleasant and helpful person serving as your host for the stay. The courtyard is beautifully decorated with plants and furniture, making for a relaxing and serene environment. The Koubba Suite was large and comfortable. The room dƩcor was tasteful and all in beautiful Moroccan style. The bathroom is huge, with a magnificent high brick ceiling. There is a large bathtub. The bed is comfortable and the room is quiet. We had dinner up on the roof terrace the first evening of our stay. The food was delicious, the environment wonderful and the service friendly and attentive. Breakfast is served on the rooftop terrace each morning, which was delicious. There are two pet dogs in the riad (Bobby and Labas (sp?)) who are very friendly and keep an eye on things around the riad. There is also a cat, which is a slight problem for people like me who have a mild allergy to cats, but it stays to itself for the most part and was not a big problem. The staff at the riad are extremely nice and eager to help, especially Azziz and Khalid, who made the meals a particularly enjoyable experience. The location of the riad is in the Medina, about a 10-minute walk to the souks and 20 minutes to Jemaa El-Fna, which puts it away from the most touristy areas and which felt like a more authentic, local neighbourhood. I would highly recommend this riad for a stay in Marrakech.
