Fodor's "Run by the same proprietor as the long-standing and nearby backpackers' Hotel Essaouira, this budget option is a cut above the rest." Full review
DK Eyewitness "A restored 19th-century residence that falls between a riad and hotel, it has 17 rooms around a central courtyard with a fountain and grand staircase."
Rough Guide "Run by the same management as the Essaouira, this more upmarket hostelry is just as homely and is already establishing itself as a favourite among Marrakesh’s mid-range accommodation."
Lonely Planet "A 19th-century riad with small rooms cheerfully decorated with plenty of traditional flourishes and a prime location just off Rue Riad Zitoun el-Kedim." Full review
Frommer's "At times the reception area can get quite busy and the staff consequently a trifle gruff, but overall it's a cheery place with a distinct "international traveler" atmosphere." Full review
Independent "Jnane Mogador, 116 Riad Zitoune Kedim is the most salubrious low-budget riad in the medina. It is unheated in winter. Doubles start at 380 dirhams (£27), room only."

Rough Guide "Though not as famous as the Mamounia, this is arguably Marrakesh’s classiest hotel, a gorgeous nineteenth-century mansion that’s been restored with fine traditional workmanship."
Star Service "This hotel, on a tiny side street in the center of the busy medina, has roots that go back to the 1940s, when it was a posh restaurant and social center for Marrakech's expatriate community." Full review
