"Some of the prices quoted in the information for this hotel have gone up so check with Francoise first (it may have already been changed as I write this review). This is an amazing Riad with very friendly and helpful staff (nothing was too much trouble) - it is in probably the best location in Marrakech for tourism in the older part of town. There are some great little restaurants close by as well (Jama, BlackChich and dejeuner a la marrakech) They also helped us arrange some day trips - we...

"We spent 1 week in Marrakech as a group of 8 friends. Ali and Jannat, the hosts, are extremely lovely people, very hospitable. They were only in the house in the morning to prepare our breakfast, the rest of the day was completely private. We were able to use the riad, which is actually designed for 10 people, for eight people without any other guests after prior enquiry. We would book there again at any time."

Top Marrakech Hotel Reviews

Sofitel Marrakech Palais Imperial & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel."

Riad Andalla Spa

8/10 Good

"Very clean room, quiet and good breakfast !"

Riad Marraplace

10/10 Excellent

"5/5. An excellent stay next to Jemaa el-Fna Square, perfectly located for exploring the souks. Although the sign was a little hard to spot, the riad itself was easy to find and much more accessible than others I encountered. Getting in and out was straightforward, even during the rain. The service was exceptional. The front desk staff were incredibly helpful and happy to assist with everything. The entire property was extremely clean. My room was smaller than at my previous riad, but cozy and comfortable for one or two people. The bathroom was compact, with a great shower, a toilet that worked perfectly, and a useful handheld bidet sprayer. One unexpected highlight was the bathroom’s fragrance diffuser: it smelled spectacular and made both the bathroom and bedroom smell wonderful. The air conditioning worked perfectly and kept the room comfortably cold. I also appreciated the modern keycard access alongside the riad’s traditional character. Breakfast was excellent. Allow a little extra time, as there was only one waiter during my stay, but he was very pleasant and welcoming. Excellent hospitality, spotless surroundings, and a convenient location. I would absolutely recommend staying here."

Savoy Le Grand Hotel

"Great location."

TUI BLUE Medina Gardens – Adults Only – All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"One of our many stays here and whilst we would return, there is room for improvements. The rooms are lovely and spacious; however, our room was very noisy late at night due to being adjacent to a nightclub and service areas. Unfortunately earplugs were not available at the front desk. Food is always fantastic with plenty of options and the grounds are stunning and well maintained. Waiting staff in the restaurant and bars are wonderful and the rooms were well kept by housekeepers."
