利瓦酒店 - 馬拉喀什

Hassan and his friends (the people working there) were all very talkative, so if you’re into making new friends and learning a few arab words as you go along this is the riad for you! Unfortunately we weren’t, we just wanted to relax when we got there. First night we got sent to a different riad next door as our room ‘was not ready’, and that riad was great! Nice bathroom, cool aircondition and a big bed. When we finally got to Riva Riad the next day, the pool was tiny, and it did not feel right to go there in a bikini, as it was in the middle of the riad, where everyone would eat as well. It was kinda annoying, as we were both looking forward to swimming some in the pool, but swimming is impossible in such a small pool. The room itself is another story. The sheets were spotty and I do not even want to think about what those spots were, and our shower overflooded (which they fixed quite quickly when made aware I must add). Air condition can barely be called air condition, as it wasn’t cold, so in July our room was very hot! The bed was also short so our feet would poke out the end. They didn’t really seem aware of our reservation, asked if we had ordered breakfast etc, so we had to repeat ourself a lot - yes we had ordered with breakfast, we were staying for three nights etc. They also kept asking what page we had our reservation through. Did not seem like they had heard about hotels.com before...

It was one of my favorite places to stay on our whole trip because of the hospitality the service and the pool I enjoyed it and would definitely stay there any time I'm in Marakesh
