"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

Mövenpick Hotel Mansour Eddahbi Marrakech

10/10 Excellent

"It’s a great hotel, it’s massive in size. If you want a boutique experience then this would not be the place to stay. But if you want a grandiose experience this would be the place to stay."

Riad Marraplace

10/10 Excellent

"My wife and I travel all over the world and we have been to fancy hotels that offer the best of the best but we’ve never had a more homey feeling, the staff was super helpful and friendly. A small room but super cozy clean and everything we needed. Location was right where you wanna be, close to everything and a very good breakfast."

La Mamounia

10/10 Excellent

"Simply said: FAIRYTALE! All your senses will be engaged in such a manner that is hard to explain from the moment you walk in. Staff is above and beyond. You will not want to leave."

Kenzi Rose Garden

8/10 Good

"Everything was great! Pools were nice, only thing is food is super repetitive and even if you paid for your buffet you’re not allowed to fill up your water bottle while it’s 40+ degrees out and I thought that was a bit bizarre. It’s just water."

Riad Jona

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is one of the best I have ever stayed. Room very spacious and cleaned daily. Location is great right in middle of old town close to everything and the hustle and bustle of the town. Rooftop chill area was a nice surprise with pool and hot tub and plenty of loungers. Staff were helpful and pleasant."
