Riad Persephone

Stepping into your room was like stepping into a fairy tale, each room was unique in size, shape and decor. It is very close to Jemma el Fnaa, and easy to get to - once you know your way, and has a pleasant rooftop terrace. Lots of great restaurants nearby, and plentiful shopping in the souks. The staff were lovely, and very helpful.

Not all rooms are soundproof, and the noise from the square goes late into the evening on the weekends. You will need someone to guide you there the first time, and it is not accessible by taxi, except for early mornings before the square starts to become active.

The place is meant for you to unplug from daily routine, work and worries, and just relax, the interiors are fable like, very artistic. The staff is kind, helpful, supportive. When you have breakfast there are several bookshelves with an impressive choice of topics and titles, in several languages. a journey in the journey. On the rooftop there is a jacuzzi that is perfect to observe the sun setting over Jma El Fna. Another small, yet pleasant pool is on the ground floor of the riad. Very centrally located, easy to reach, easily indicated.

Riad Persephone is a little Gem in the hustle and Bustle of Jemaa el-Fnna literally a 2 minute walk away. On arrival the staff couldn't have been more helpful, carried our cases up to our rooms which were wonderful, so traditional with all modern comforts, super air conditioning and a mini fridge in the room which was ideal. The Riad itself is stunningly beautiful with a roof top sitting are with Plunge pool, plenty of sun umbrellas for shade. Also the pool inside the riad next to the Hamam which was an added bonus in my opinion, lovely cool shaded library area where we chose to have breakfast every morning which I must add was delicious, we were there for 3 days and each morning we had a variation of breakfast goodies, some savoury and some sweet, and wonderful coffee. On the day we booked out the staff printed our flight boarding pass for us {which we hadn't realised we needed as the airport would not accept just the virtual copy} we were also allowed to leave our luggage as we had an evening flight and checkout is at midday (which is great imo). We had an amazing time and will definitely stay again and recommend to family and friends . Thank you Riad Persephone ...

Nothing to dislike

Central location Nice looking riad Welcome lunch was nice

Did not get enough info from staff on the day we arrived The room did not have toiletries. One staff member told us to get them from a shop. Had to call and request again and were only provided body wash and shampoo. Did not get any help moving our luggage to the room. Some help would have been appreciated. Mattress was old and my partner and I had achy backs the next day.
