Breakfast was great and Hafiza made the tea for us and served pancackes. House was extremely clean and huge. We only used 2 rooms but they iffered to have more ready. Google maps are not very helpful there but Rabia arranged for pickup at train station and Hafiza received us at the mosque and gave us the tour of the house and served tea. Gave us ideas of the visit and even walked with us to a place to buy oil and stuff. Place was great but expensive so we only bought a couple of things. Overall, an excellent host and excellent experience. Strongly recommend this place to anyone visiting Marrakech as it is right in the middle of all yhe action, yet quite and private.

What a great experience. Hafida is an absolute gem. She took care of us from start to finish. Every day Hafida cooked us breakfast, she even helped us get to the local hammam or restaurants when we were lost. Morocco has become one of my favourite countries that I visited and it is predominantly because of the love and care the local people show to you. Amazing experience, would love to come again and again

Located conveniently within the Kasbah- short walk from the Saadian Tombs & Bab Aganou. Next to many excellent cafes and restaurants. There were issues with heating & hot water on our first day (it's pretty cold in January) but the host was very responsive and worked quickly to address our concerns. Although we booked one bedroom, Rabia allowed us to use one room for sleeping & the other for showering since the water pressure in our primary bedroom was inadequate. The place itself was huge for just the two of us & included access to two salons, a balcony & rooftop. The host also generously offered to arrange for taxi pick up/ drop off & breakfast was included. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and would love to return in warmer weather.

My partner and I stayed for two weeks in December 2025 and enjoyed our time spend in The Riad. The weather didn't helped so the roof cover wasn't open but I guess in the summer is really great. The Riad is typical morrocon and offers plenty of room for up to six persons. The communication with Rabia & Christophe the hosts -was faultless and Hafida did a great job , she makes nice fresh breakfast every morning , gave us advi e about the day trips, shopping, attractions and she responded quickly to all our enquiries. We definitely recommend the location. Thank you Rabia, Christophe and Hafida!

We enjoyed our stay in Rabia’s riad. The house is HUGE with room for a LOT more people than just me and my sister (!) and is equipped with everything you need and then some! Communication with Rabia was easy and fast — and a major highlight of the stay was the assistance we got from Hafida, the housekeeper, who is so knowledgeable about Marrakesh and incredibly helpful with logistics.

Authentic riad in an excellent location

Rabia’s riad is a perfect place to stay if you want to explore Marrakesh. The Riad is beautifully decorated, spacious and comfortable. We loved the living room and the rooftop. Hafida helped us getting around the city, booked us hammam, restaurant, taxi and took care of us during our stay. She also made us wonderful pancakes for breakfast, that we appreciated very much

Dream Road, great location

Kasbah felt a quieter, safer location. However was never more than 20 mins walk to anywhere in the centre of Marrakech. Rabia and Hafida were always attentive and happy to help. Hafida’s breakfasts were a very welcome start to the morning. The terrace and courtyard were lovely to sit in. Great view over the rooftops

A Wonderful Stay!

We loved staying here! The space was gorgeous with exquisite attention to detail. The neighborhood was quiet and allowed for easy exploration of the nearby areas. Rabia was very responsive to our many questions and Hafida was a pure delight to interact with while in the home. We really appreciated the transfer from the train station, the filtered water, and the various communal sitting areas. We recommend this Riad without hesitation.

Wonderful Riad

We had a great stay here in Marrakech. Right in the heart of the Medina. Hafida was an amazing host/cook/resource. Very warm, kind and helpful. The place was huge with many more rooms than we could possibly use. Rooftop view was great, looking over the city. Would definitely stay here again!

Perfect Tranquil Location

From start to finish this was a perfect place for first-timers to Marrakesh. Rabia was so patient and lovely answering all my questions via WhatsApp before our holiday. We were met by taxi at the airport and transferred seamlessly to the Kasbah, where Hafida then met us and walked us to the Riad, Hafida was very helpful, preparing lovely breakfasts every morning, making bookings for us, and giving advice; as well as being a lovely person. The Riad itself is wonderful; large, bright and airy; with en-suite bathrooms, and two terraces (one a roof terrace). This was the perfect place to stay and discover Marrakesh. We hope to stay again. Thank you.

The property is adorable! I was fascinated by the decoration of the riad. The host Rabia communication was clear and Hafida the lady who was there to give us the keys was amazing. She offerd us tea, cookies and drew a map for the attractions around. We walked almost everywhere as the Road is close to many places. The neighborhood is safe and the Riad is spacious and spotoess. I will definitely book it again and recommend it to my family and friends.

Oasis of peace in Kasbah

Thank you to Rabia and Christophe for allowing us to stay in their wonderful riad, right in the heart of the Kasbah. It is truly an oasis to be treasured. Everything went super smoothly from pick up at the airport to waving goodbye to the wonderful Hafida, who showed us the property, made breakfast for us, organized trips and shared her local knowledge with us. The riad has three levels with a beautiful terrace and then a further rooftop terrace from which we spent each evening looking out over the city as the sun set. Each room has been beautifully and carefully designed with much attention to detail. Overall we loved the riad and our Marrakesh experience!

Quiet spot, convenient location

Lovely Riad (not that we have seen any others!) but every room had a bathroom and the tiling/wood features were really beautiful. Appreciated the laundry facilities too. Location was ideal - in quiet spot but 2 minutes gets you to the heart of the Kaaba and the Tombs. Hafida was so helpful and patient with us. We only speak English so Google Translate was a blessing. She helped organize so much for us - cooking class, spa, printing airline tickets and would take us to places to ensure we got to where we needed to go.

Pristine riad in great location.

The riad was in a great location, super clean, and quiet at night. The terrace was perfect for relaxing in the evenings and enjoying the cool air. Hafida was super kind and helpful. Only had a couple issues: the bedroom with two beds has an AC that doesn’t work, the confusing information in the listing regarding airport transfers (they only cover transfers from the airport), and the terrible WiFi. I work remotely and needed the WiFi so had to move to a local cafe or other location in order to work. All in all would definitely recommend.

Beautiful moroccan home in the more traditional part of Medina. The place had multiple floors and beds and gives you a true Moroccan ambience. It is surrounded by plenty of shops and local Stores , restaurants . Hafida is a sweet and humble lady who frequents the property prepared daily breakfast and is very helpful for information concerning the area and helped us with scheduling taxis and bought us a few groceries . She also made a traditional meal for us called tagine which was great ! Thank you Hafida! Overall our stay was amazing . Owners communicated clearly with us from the start.
