A little oasis of peace in the middle of the busy Medina. The staff is amazing and always goes the extra mile to accommodate. The bedrooms are large, clean and welcoming and the massages very needed after a long day walking in the Souk. Definitely recommend this property. ##### Valerie Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anna 22 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We spent 4 nights at this beautiful Riad. Very peaceful & in a great location at the top of the Medina which made exploring on foot very easy. A lovely breakfast each morning of breads and eggs up on the roof top. All the staff were friendly and so welcoming but I must call out Brahim, who gave us a very warm welcome, told us all there is to know on the local area and really looked after us during our stay & at breakfast. A wonderful stay. Thank you all. We can also ecommend the spa & the service provided by Maryam & Oumyma. We booked the duo couples hamman & massage and it was sheer bliss. Once I overcame my inhibitions of being half naked, with just the provided disposable knickers on, it was amazing. The hamman left our skin so soft and cleansed. The massage was so relaxing and included a facial. It was a wonderful treat after a couple of hectic days exploring the Medina. It ends with a delicious, refreshing mint tea. Thank you Maryam & Oumyma for making us feel so special & giving us renewed glowing skin! Such a wonderful Riad - we loved it. ##### Anna Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jozefien 6 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Our stay in the Riad was very pleasant!

The riad is very well located, literally some steps from the souk, but it remains calm, I had the impression to leave in the country side. The staff and owners are very friendly and helpful. We received a lot of helpful tips from everyone. We had the chance to book a massage, best decision ever, it was amazing. I loved the decoration of the riad, it is bright and full of light.

Don’t look any further, book this riad! My wife and I stayed here during our time in Marrakech. The owners and staff are incredibly welcoming and the property itself is a dream. We enjoyed watching the sunsets and drinking wine from the rooftop patio. We also booked a couples hamman (traditional Moroccan bath)/ massage and I’m still dreaming about the experience. ##### Brendan Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Sonal 11 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The Riad was a nice haven away from hustle and bustle of the markets. The owners were very helpful with tips during our stay. All of the staff were very accomodating. I especially likes that there was the shaded lounge areas to cool down after a long hot day but if you wanted some sun the terrace had plenty of areas to sit. Meals and drinks were lovely and tasty ##### Sonal Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Martha 18 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Look no further, this is the place to stay! Such a beautiful, clean, amazing location! I did lots of research on where to stay and im so glad i chose this place. The entrance seems a bit hidden but once you get into the riad, you discover such a gorgeous location. Everyone was extremely helpful and even had the opportunity to meet the owner who was friendly and assisted us with an issue himself. The food here is so good! The chicken tagine was the best i had in Morocco! Definitely going back here when i return! ##### Martha Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### J 10 Nov 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This Riad was lovely. Clean and quiet. The food at the on-site restaurant was very good. The room was comfortable and the pool was great to have after some long days out. The stand out was Marwan (manager/concierge ?). He was so helpful and fun to chat with. He made our experience a step above what we expected. ##### J ### 8/10 Good #### natalie F 22 Mar 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Cosy, central and welcoming! The Riad Raffaele is a cosy and beautiful property in the heart of the Souks. We felt at home the moment we arrived to fresh mint tea and cookies. The location is good, but the surrounding area itself is a little difficult to maneuver at night so I recommend knowing exactly where to go once it gets dark to avoid getting lost. The breakfast was lovely and the staff couldn't have been friendlier. The rooms are basic and the showers aren't very inviting but aside from that this place is a 10! ##### natalie F ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alicia Frieda 9 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This place is a true oasis!!! The rooms and the entire riad are modern and bright. The breakfast is excellent for a balanced start to the day. Thomas and his team are indescribably lovely and read every wish from your eyes and do everything to ensure that you have the best time there. Due to my asthma, we were allowed to change rooms on request, as the first one had no proper way of ventilating at night. The only thing I could „criticize“ would be the dust on the lamps hanging 3 metres high 😜 Thank you again and hope do be with you again very soon 😊 ##### Alicia Frieda Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### will 27 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Our stay at Riad Rafaele was perfect! The Riad is stunning as was our room. The pool is lovely and the rooftop is so nicely furnished and comfortable and quiet, an oasis in the bustling medina. The massages are great too and reasonably priced. When we arrived, Marwan greeted us with tea and info about the Medina which was enormously helpful. He even helped us in negotiating the return of a jacket we had left in a taxi. I can’t rave enough about Riad Rafaele! My only complaint is that the bar wasn’t always fully stocked with alcoholic beverages, but that’s a minor issue considering that most of Marrakech is alcohol free. ##### will Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Rukmini 5 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This riad is lovely, has mod cons and is situated in a lovely location, easy to get to all the souks and the taxi rank. However there are some areas for improvement bearing in mind that I have been to Marrakech twice before and stayed in local riads… on our arrival we were greeted warmly with refreshments but then were told that a staff member will be explaining the area on a map and this went on for quite some time which I felt was really unnecessary especially as we were not asked if we needed this information. We were quite tired, already had our days planned and booked museums and this was not needed. No other riad has subjected me to this and certainly not the way I would like to start the holiday. I had to ask twice to allow us to just get changed and start exploring the city. Their breakfasts were not substantial, especially as a vegetarian who does not eggs, they did not cater enough. I had asked for some yoghurt and they did not have any on any of the days. Again in contrast to other riads who have provided a far more substantial breakfast. They also had real problems with their card machine which I found quite stressful to be honest, and I wasn’t the only English person who experienced this. Again other riads I’ve stayed at did not have this problem. They are issues with their plumbing from scorching hot to very cold. ##### Rukmini Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jessie H. 17 Jul 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Wonderful oasis The Riad was amazing. We were welcomed by the staff with tea and biscuits and they were really helpful in terms of travel tips and where to eat. They also printed out our flight tickets and served breakfast at 6am for us. Really appreciated. The courtyards is so beautiful and we loved our room, which was beautifully designed. There is a small paddle pool on the courtyard but is more of a dip pool than a swimming pool:-) So if you are looking for a holiday where you stay by the pool, this is probably not it. But if you just need a place where to hide from all the craziness and heat outside, and relax, this is an oasis. ##### Jessie H. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Jaal Riad Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Les-Jardins-De-LAgdal-Hotel-Spa.h4366459.Hotel-Information) > > [Diwane Hotel & Spa Marrakech](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Diwane-Hotel-Spa-Marrakech.h1543510.Hotel-Information) > > [Les Jardins De La Medina](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Les-Jardins-De-La-Medina.h1184739.Hotel-Information) > > [Kenzi Rose Garden](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Kenzi-Rose-Garden.h1001423.Hotel-Information) > > [Aqua Mirage Club & Aqua Parc - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Aqua-Mirage-Club-Aqua-Parc-All-Inclusive.h10387148.Hotel-Information) > > [Les Deux Tours](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Les-Deux-Tours.h1353977.Hotel-Information) > > [Résidence Dar Lamia Marrakech](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Residence-Dar-Lamia-Marrakech.h6900080.Hotel-Information) > > [Sol Oasis Marrakech - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Sol-Oasis-Marrakech.h64033503.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Marrakech Hivernage](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Novotel-Marrakech-Hivernage.h2434358.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Plaza](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Opera-Plaza-Hotel-Marrakech.h5311411.Hotel-Information) > > [Labranda Targa Club Aqua Parc](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Labranda-Targa-Club-Aqua-Parc.h3171603.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Tikida Palmeraie - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Tikida-Palmeraie-All-Inclusive.h2955364.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheap stay in Marrakech Morocco - apartment for rent](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Cheap-Stay-In-Marrakech-Morocco-Apartment-For-Rent.h31613191.Hotel-Information) > > [Barcelo Palmeraie Oasis Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Barcelo-Palmeraie.h892428.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Tikida Garden - Adults Only - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Riu-Tikida-Garden-Adults-Only-All-Inclusive.h1178114.Hotel-Information) > > [El Olivar Palace Marrakech](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-ELOLIVAR-PALACE-MARRAKECH.h82862013.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa D'artiste Dar Jmel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Villa-Dartiste-Dar-Jmel.h42695726.Hotel-Information) > > [Sofitel Marrakech Palais Imperial & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Sofitel-Marrakech-Lounge-And-Spa.h906942.Hotel-Information) > > [Mövenpick Hotel Mansour Eddahbi Marrakech](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Movenpick-Hotel-Mansour-Eddahbi-Marrakech.h564721.Hotel-Information) > > [Marrakech Ryads Parc All inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Marrakech-Ryads-Parc-All-Inclusive.h4909192.Hotel-Information) > > [Pestana CR7 Marrakech](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Pestana-CR7-Marrakech.h71502736.Hotel-Information) > > [La Maison Des Oliviers](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-La-Maison-Des-Oliviers.h1717262.Hotel-Information) > > [Dar Sofil - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Dar-Sofil-Adults-Only.h16281048.Hotel-Information) > > [Savoy Le Grand Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Savoy-Le-Grand-Hotel.h12430665.Hotel-Information) > > [Rawabi Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Rawabi-Hotel-Spa-All-Inclusive-Available.h5328327.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Resort Marrakech](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Resort-Marrakech.h4270690.Hotel-Information) > > [Pickalbatros Hotel du Golf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Hotel-Du-Golf-Rotana.h4485836.Hotel-Information) > > [Nobu Hotel Marrakech](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-The-Pearl-Marrakech.h4909170.Hotel-Information) > > [Kenzi Club Agdal Medina All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Kenzi-Club-Agdal-Medina-All-Inclusive.h3741517.Hotel-Information) > > [Be Live Collection Marrakech Adults Only - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Be-Live-Collection-Marrakech-Adults-Only-All-Inclusive.h18100210.Hotel-Information)
