Riad Lalla Mogador Review

This 1930s dar -- completely renovated in 2005 -- offers a variety of good-value rooms in a homely environment, where guests are handed a key to the front door and management is discreet and unobtrusive. The hotel is located in a small alcove just a short walk from the Bab Marrakech medina entrance, and guests step through a low, heavy door into a tranquil ground-floor courtyard, where the four original columns are accompanied by a gurgling fountain. The rooms -- located on the three upper floors off verandas of blue railings and accessed by a steep, narrow staircase -- are all individually furnished with cotton and wool bed linens; carpets; and curtains in colors of ocean blue, deep burgundy, and gold. Some rooms offer a private balcony, others a fireplace or small lounge; the suites offer both split-level and single-floor configurations that can accommodate up to four people. Most have tadelakt-rendered bathrooms with welcoming exterior windows. Breakfast can be taken privately in the courtyard or on the communal rooftop terrace with great beach and medina views. Guests are welcome to venture out to the Quartier des Dunes to use the pool at sister property Riad Zahra .

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
