Even though it has all been said, our stay in Dar Silsila was perfect. Even when there was a problem, which is not even worth mentioning Jean Patrick went all out to solve things, making you feel like it was never a problem.
We stayed here twice first on the roof top suite and later on a regular room, the experience was unique and I hope it stays the same. Some other comments have noted on the lack of showercurtain , which would completely spoil the typical decor of the place, "please this is Morocco things are different" and thank God for that! Not being able to use a credit card when you have less than a few nights stay, I found perfectly reasonable since the commissions are too much. It is impossible to have better service for such a good price! You feel at home but even better, as if you were the most special person to ever visit the Riad. Truly you get the service of a five star hotel, but with the personal touch of staying in a smaller scale, more intimate place.

“An oasis of calm in the chaos of Marrakech”

We stayed for 4 nights in June and had a fantastic time. The Riad is beautiful, maintained to a high standard and the staff couldn't have been more pleasent or accomodating. Don't be put off by the walk to the Riad (we were a bit worried about where we were headed) - once you get through the doors you will be amazed by the transformation. Great location for enjoying (?) the experience of the Souks and walking to the Square. I would definitely recommend this Riad to others. SW & MB

“Loved dar silsila”

Jean patrick and his staff were outstanding in every way. The staff were always warm and friendly and efficient, happy in their jobs and always looking to meet our needs. We were keen to learn how to cook chicken tagine. Our chef instructed us, allowed us to watch the preparation and explained the ingredients which we ate later at dinner. Jean Patrick organised a meal for us out of town for our last night even ensuring our taxi would be on hand to take us back to the Riad. The meal was exceptional and traditional but at a place that visitors would probably not find without local direction. Our accommodation, the ambience, standard of hygiene were excellent. Thank you Jean Patrick from New Zealand for an unforgettable Morroccan experience.

We had an excellent stay at this Riad. From beginning to end, everything went as planned. Jean Patrick made every effort to help us make the most out of our visit and his staff were exceptionally warn, welcoming and professional (trilingual!) The Riad is beautifully decorated and a real oasis of calm in the Medina. Its location is ideal - central but in a safe and easily accessible place. It was definitely worth taking Jean Patrick's offer of a lift from the airport as it would have been difficult to find it on our own the first time (after that it was easy). Jean Patrick also offered us a meal on the first night and this was excellent too. We would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend it to any of our friends. We booked it through the riads morrocco website but next time would go direct to Jean Patrick's own site. This place really lives up to its promise. Can't fault it. We also stayed at Riad Watier in Essaouria which was fantastic.

“Our peacful space in the Medina”

Dar Silsila

Jun 10, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

We stayed with Jean Patrick for 5 nights. We stayed in two rooms as he did his best to accommodate us at short notice. The first being the Sun Terrace room which was heaven for me. On the roof we had loads of space and privacy plus the advantage to be able to walk out directly onto the terrace and see the wonderful view of Marrakesh by 'roof top'. As Dar Silsila is situated a stones throw from Koutoubia, I enjoyed hearing the calls for pray and we where so close to everything it was easy to access the Medina, to get out into the new modern city and beyond with ease. The staff where very friendly, helpful and looked after us making our stay very comfortable. We love the ambiance of this Dar and the attention to detail with the decor makes it somewhere we are happy to relax around in. It is not our first stay here and is by no means our last.
