“Quite, peaceful and full of wonder and kindness”

Breakfast was fantastic. The space and place was so beautiful, quiet and full of wonder.

“A wonderful garden and pool with fabulous food.”

This is a beautiful old Ksar in the middle of the countryside with an exquisite garden and pool. We were on a self drive holiday, aiming to end up for the last few days in Marrakesh. On reading riad reviews they all talked of lack of privacy, safety and value for money. We booked Ksar Salha for one night as it’s 30 minutes from Marrakesh while we decided what to do. It took us about 10 minutes after we arrived to decide to stay there for our last 3 nights and drive into Marrakesh as we needed. (An easy drive with good parking right by Jemma el F’na). This maison d’hotes is really wonderful. The house is glorious. The garden is lush and full of birds and butterflies. You can see the snow capped Atlas Mountains from the rooms. It really is a blissful place to stay. We opted to eat in every night and had absolutely delicious meals. The best briwates in the world; and the chicken with lemon was sublime. Compared to riads in Marrakesh the value for money was amazing. And we got to experience all the hustle and bustle we needed and then retreat to (I hate to use this phrase but…) an oasis of calm and luxury. The couple who own it were helpful with recommendations, and attentive, but also left us to just enjoy our surroundings. I think this is now one of my favourite hotels ever.

The hospitality was very considered and a wonderful relaxing ambience. The food was cooked with love and all our needs were adapted to.

“Beautiful place for peace and quiet”

Amazing Building beautiful gardens excellent food.

“Fatiha and Sherif were wonderful hosts and the property was amazing!!”

The property and grounds were absolutely beautiful and the family running it were so helpful and hospitable, we would definitely recommend and come back!!

“We would definately revisit”

Beautiful family run walled property around 30 minutes outside Marrakech. Excellent hosts and facilities who helped organise anything we needed.

“Just delightful”

Our stay was super relaxing and the staff were lovely . The food was great we loved the property and would be happy to return. Our room would have benefited from a mirror over the table in the bedroom and it would have been good to be able to make a hot drink in the bedroom.

Disappointing experience at Hotel Ksar Salha – False handicap claims and poor service I stayed for seven days at Hotel Ksar Salha in Marrakech with my friend, who uses a wheelchair. My friend specifically chose this hotel because it is listed as being accessible for people with disabilities. I regret having to write this review, as I am self-employed and work with clients, but precisely because of that, it is important to highlight the lack of customer care and service. Having visited Morocco over 25 times, I have never experienced such a poorly run hotel with such appalling service. Regarding the disability facilities, there were numerous shortcomings, and if my friend had travelled alone, she would not have been able to navigate the hotel at all. Not even the toilets were wheelchair accessible. On a positive note, I can mention the attractive rooms, lovely gardens, and a beautiful swimming pool (which, regrettably, was also not wheelchair accessible). Everything else was utterly unacceptable — confusing, unclear descriptions, and poor communication. The hotel only offered one menu that was served throughout the day. There was a set price for lunch and the same price for dinner, but we had to pay extra in the evening. The portions served were small, and the food was overpriced considering the quality and service. There was no cleaning or vacuuming of our rooms. We had to request staff to clean, and when we did, they did so sporadically. We had to ask every day for the rooms to be cleaned. Additionally, no bed linen was changed during the seven days we stayed. We booked the hotel including breakfast, but the breakfast was very dull; however, when we complained, it was improved quite significantly. Charging 3,000 MAD/DIRHAMS per day for such a poor hotel, including breakfast in Marrakech is simply too much. The high prices do not reflect the standard or quality of service. We did not experience any of the warm and authentic Moroccan hospitality that one would

We had the most amazing 7 night stay at Ksar Salha! This is a 9th century castle, located about 25mins drive from marrakech. The property is so well maintained, clean, quiet, and equipped with all the modern amenities you would need. It sits on a beautiful, well maintained garden equipped with a heated pool, gym, various seating areas that allow the guests to enjoy the space without intruding upon each other, and it's own hammam! The castle is a family hierloom that's been passed down the generations and is currently run by the charming Sharif and his wonderful wife. To say they care for their guests is an understatement. You get the sort of individualised care and attention you'd normally only receive at high-end hotels in big cities. Sharif and his wife were always at hand to help, but never intrusive. They facilitated all our travel and took care of all our dinning needs to a high standard. There were brilliant small touches too, for example leaving an umbrella outside our door when it was raining, without us asking. We were celebrating a birthday, and they plucked fresh red and white roses from their garden and decorated our room. Plus, the hammam massage is simply amazing. I really can't recommend Ksar Salha enough, and will certainly be back for another visit.

“Great Riad”

Lonely Riad. Great food. Lovely host and staff. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Very quiet and relaxing. Room was lovely with fantastic balcony with views to the Atlas Mountains. Nice heated pool.

“Ksar Salha, a true palace”

An absolute Oasis, we loved the calm atmosphere and the hospitality of the family and staff. We were welcomed into a grand and beautiful family home and garden. We were able to swim every day as the pool was heated to 24 degrees. The views of the snow capped Atlas Mountains from our room terrace were breathtaking both af sunrise snd sunset. Unlike many riads Ksar Salha serve the famous Casablanca beer as well as table wines. The home cooked food was excellent and we ate in the same dining room and felt like honoured guests. There was an extensive menu to choose from, all freshly prepared for each meal. Fatia gave us cooking lessons in her kitchen, we made our own evening meal and 4 different types of breakfast breads, what a treat! In the colder evenings a roaring cedar log fire was lit in the salon. Fatia arranged for us to be driven to, and picked up from the authentic local Souk, held on a Sunday, a totally different experience from the Marakech Medina. Fatia and her family and the team of staff have created a wonderful relaxing environment. Thank you all XXX

“Enjoyed our stay in a beautiful traditional Morrocan hotel.”

Beautiful hotel, run by a lovely family. We had a beautiful room with a huge balcony overlooking the garden. Pool was lovely, everywhere was spotlessly clean.

Perfect accommodation outside of Marrakesh. The staff is very polite and are willing to help you where possible. If you are looking for a very calm and relaxed environment this is the place!

“Great host, who took good care of all their guests.”

I liked the peace and quiet. It was isolated and that was what I was looking for.

Such a wonderful stay in a beautiful, peaceful place. The staff were lovely and food delicious.

“Beautiful and tranquil.”

The location was a quiet area outside of Marrakech and was lovely and tranquil. The staff were lovely and accommodating with everything we asked. We appreciated the service and helpfulness a lot.

“Peaceful and beautiful oasis near Marrakech”

We had an exciting week in Morroco, and for the last 3 days, we wanted to relax somewhere close enough to Marakesh, but far from the crowd and noise. This place was stunning, with its royal garden and more facilities than we expected (tennis court, ...). The house itself and supporting objects have lots of history and details, combining smoothly ancient with modern times. We loved it.

“Gorgeous Grounds with limited rooms - would be perfect for a stay for those seeking privacy / peace”

Large Pool with sun loungers and fantastic outdoor area with ample seating / plants. Spacious rooms that are beautifully decorated.
