Quiet Riad in the heart of Marrakech
Great Riad, in a superb location, was a little hard to find, no parking, so closest is private parking Djmaa El fna (in official parking). Ayoub the young guy working there could speak English and was helpful. Would definitely recommend this place.

Brilliant riad
This riad was a brilliant choice, I went with my 7 year old son who also loved staying there. I found the service extremely personable and all especially manager of riad going above and beyond for everything. They organised trips for me even at really short notices, ensured I was escorted if I needed that and well if I return to marrakech I can't imagine staying elsewhere. The room was simply but beautifully decorated and in line with riads overall decor. Our rooms were cleaned daily and air conditioned. The air conditioning saved us as Marrakech was extremely hot over 43 degrees so is a must. Dinner could also be ordered if you didn't want to go out and I found the dishes delicious!! Location is literally 5 minutes from the square and yes for a few minutes you would be walking through what looks like alleyways, it's easy to remember with land and wall markings. I also found it safe as me and my son would often return after 10pm. Just a really great riad and definitely recommend it.

nice place, few things to work on...
Perfectly located, nice management and beautiful inside. Car pickup was way overpriced compared to regular taxis, breakfast was basic, and bathroom have little water (no hot water). Overall, a good experience in magical Marrakesh!
Response from riad bibtia on 14 Feb 2015
whoever you are (anonymous) what you say we take it in consideration. However, regarding the transfer we charge, for the price, we come to get you at the medina's door, avoiding you to lose yourself or to have to pay a false guide... who sometimes ask up to 20€! Sorry for the hot water who was long to arrive up to your water, but the city was doing some work in the local water network, and so the pressure was a bit low. It's apparently fixed since you left. Our breakfast is Morrocan, with bread, pancakes, jam, fruit juice and coffee or tea. It is maybe not like it is where ever you live, but here is Morroco ! Anyway, the most important is that you had some good time visiting Marrakech... Regards, Françoise & Julien

A Gem in the Medina
The Riad is in the middle of everything you want to see in the Medina, this is a wonderful old style riad in the heart of the medina staffed by some great folks who will go the extra distance to insure your trip is the best [if you can dream it, they can make it happen]. Food is authentic and really good, and you can get private cooking lessons in the Moroccan style. I know a rating of all "5" looks over-rated, but there is really nothing to find fault with in this traditional riad. It would be hard to get any deeper into the Moroccan culture without giving up in the comforts that made our stay so nice. We are already planning our return for next year.

Hidden Gem In Marrakech Jungle
Thank you Julien & Françoise for such a wonderful experience in Marrakech. Your hospitality made a huge difference on my second trip to this city. I would definitely recommend to book Riad Bibtia to anyone who wants to stay at the authentic old medina, in a superb location with high comfort standards - quiet, clean, cosy and beautiful riad. Everything was perfect from the begining to the end!

Most beautiful hotel with the best staff ever
This hotel is extremely difficult to find - we ended up photographing our way in after paying young boys a few times to get us home. However, the tunnels and narow corridors that lead to the place make it even more intriguing, and it is in an amazing central location. The place is breathtakingly beautiful and comfortable with many interesting places to relax. The breakfast was great and serving quickly, warmly, whenever you need it. The best part about this place by far is the staff. They are above and beyond in every way, truly sweet people. I've never felt more taken care of at any hotel ever. Even inviting me to tea, or bringing us snack and a huka on the roof just because they thought we would llke it. I would not stay anywhere else in Marrakech, and I wish all hotels were this intimate, beautiful, and comfortable.

Riad molto molto carino, vicinissimo alla piazza jema el fna. Complicato da trovare ma, una volta arrivati, pensi di aver faticato per una giusta causa! Colori, profumi e tranquillità ripagano ampiamente i giri a vuoto fatti nella medina. Mustafá, il proprietario, è comunque disponibile a recuperarvi per indicarvi la giusta via. Il té marocchino di benvenuto, ci ha rimessi al mondo. Sul tetto l'immancabile terrazza dalla quale si può ammirare tutta Marrakech. Colazione discreta. Camere piccole ma davvero confortevoli e accoglienti

Struttura carina e sufficientemente pulita. Bello e caratteristico il "giardino" al piano terra, dove viene servita una buona colazione. La camera, almeno la mia, era molto piccola con un solo comodino e niente armadio, solo una specie di madia/cassettone. Bagno ok. Il personale è stato sempre molto gentile.

Prachtige traditionele riad &vriendelijk personeel
De riad was een prachtig traditionele riad met heel vriendelijk personeel. Het ontbijt dat was inbegrepen was ook traditioneel en genoeg om een paar uur de oude stad te verkennen. Ook was er elke ochtend een andere ontbijt klaargemaakt. Het personeel was ontzettend vriendelijk en stond altijd voor je klaar wanneer dat nodig was. Ze kwamen met goede en handige tips en klantvriendelijkheid stond bij hun bovenaan. Echt een aanrader!

Best stay
The Riad was difficult to find eventhough the way is actually easy (when you know it) Ibrahim was the nicest staff ever, he showed us the way around, told us the best restaurants and all the things you need to know. He also brought us cake from the market as we needed to stay at home since it was raining. The Riad itself was super beautiful and sooo sweet. All the decoration was just like on the pictures. The breakfast was basic but definitely worth to take. You feel so comfortable and home. We also got a 3 bed bedroom eventhough we booked a doubleroom, so we had some extra space. I would definitely stay there for another time! It’s just like 5 min walking distance from the main street and the big Souks and the big square. I honestly loved the stay there.

Bastante dejado
en mi tercera estancia en Marrakech, es sin duda la peor de las Riads en las que he estado, humedad, frio, dejadez y falta de hospitalidad, contratamos transfer aeropuerto y no se presentó, estubimos mucho tiempo esperando y despues de llamar dos veces pidiendo el transfer tuvimos que usar taxi, al llegar ni una sola disculpa, ni un té de bienvenida, pedimos un dia el desayuno una hora antes porque ibamos de excurión y quisieron cobrarnos suplementos, el desayuno consiste en pan con mermelada y un croaisant, nada comparado a lo que nos han ofrecido otras Riads, el personal salvo el chico del último día no hizo por entenderse, no he tenido ningún problema de comunicación con nadie en marruecos jamás, cobran 10% por pago tarjeta credito, 2,5 euros por persona dia taxas, reservé nuevamente transfer para el regreso y me dijeron que 20 euros, cuando llegó el momento ya eran 45, no ponen toallas, el suelo de la ducha completamente lleno de humedad. Eso si barato es, pero por 10 euros mas la noche yo no me lo pensaba.

Gracias por su estadía en nuestro riad Lamento el malentendido de que los tienes. * El día de su llegada, le envié nuestro conductor al aereport pero no lo encontró porque tomó un taxi (le pagamos al chófer por su actuación y sin pedirle un reembolso ...) * Normalmente el desayuno se sirve de 8:30 a 10:30 / 11h. De lo contrario, tiene que pagar un suplemento, tiene el desayuno 1:30 antes del horario normal para 7 personas y no ha pagado nada ... * Nuestro desayuno es variable (baguettes pan marroquí baguettes huevo café leche zumo de naranja viennoiserie veces fruta confuture mantequilla miel ... * En cuanto a la comunicación, trato de hablar contigo, pero desafortunadamente uno de tus amigos comenzó a gritarme lo que no encuentro agradable ... * Cuando realiza un pago con tarjeta, debe pagar un 5% más y no un 10% (tarifa de tarjeta bancaria). * Los impuestos de estadías son de 2.5 € por persona y están bien marcados en su reserva de reserva. * Usted era 7 personas (20 € es el precio para un máximo de 3 personas). * las habitaciones se limpian todos los días (con cambio de toallas). Gracias de nuevo por tu estadía. Atentamente, Khadija

Charming riad in central Medina
The riad is located in the area of Mouassine. Its very central (5 min from Jmal Fnaa) yet very quiet at night. Breakfast is served at your convenience after 8.30 am and there is a lovely roof terrace from which you can enjoy the sunset in the evening. Nice staff and great authentic experience of the Medina.

Schönes Riad+bester Service in Stadtmitte
Das Hotel/Riad war spitzenmäßig. Es gibt absolut nichts zu meckern. Täglich frisches Marrokanisches Frühstück. Die Bedienung kann zwar nur französisch, aber mit Händen und Füßen konnte man sich super verständen und sie erfüllte einem jeden Wunsch. Der Rezeptionist "Osama" hat uns sämtliche Tipps, Reservierungen und Empfehlungen gegeben. Des Weitern hat er uns die Angst vor der Stadt genommen und uns alles über die marrokanische Kultur erklärt. Wer einen familiären, ruhigen, aufschlussreichen Urlaub wünscht, sollte sich ein Zimmer im Riad Bibtia buchen. Wir haben uns Tag und Nacht dort willkommen und zuhause gefühlt. ES WAR PERFEKT.

Erlebnisreich mitten in der Medina
Im Riad Bibtia wohnt man mitten in der "Medina" und kann von dort aus fußläufig Bazar, Souks und La Place erreichen. Der weit verzweigte Bazar ist abenteuerlich; knatternde Mopeds, Eselskarren und Radfahrer suchen ihren Weg zwischen den Fußgängern. Auf LA PLACE findet man in den abendlichen Garküchen ein preiswertes, schmackhaftes Essen. Ebenso abenteuerlich ist es teilweise, wie versucht wird, die Waren zu verkaufen; sehr trickreich. Wir sahen den Palace Bahia und das traumhafte Hotel La Mahmoudia. Auf der einen Seite die teilweise Aufdringlichkeit der Verkäufer, auf der anderen große Freundlichkeit und Höflichkeit. An den Essplätzen wird man fast "hofiert", es schmeckt eigentlich überall gut. Resumee: überwiegend Wohlfühlcharakter in Marrakesch.

Vi hadde 3 fine døgn i Marrakech. Vertskapet var veldig hjelpsomme, med gode råd om hvor vi kunne få de beste opplevelsene i Medinaen. Hyggelig sted med bare 5-6 rom og personlig atmosfære. Godt kjøkken, vi spsiste 2 gode middager på Bibtia. Anbefales varmt.
