8/10 Good

My daughter and I had a good stay at this property. The room was comfortable, the bathroom was pretty small and didn’t drain very well. There was some construction noise early in the morning, probably work going on in one of the adjacent rooms. Since it happened on the day we were leaving, we didn’t bother to bring it up with the staff.

Fantastic

I had an fantastic stay. The people who worked here were super nice and helpful. The place was beautiful, clean and comfortable. Everything you can ever need and want. And it's super sentral, but without any noise from the streets. I wish i could live here 😄

Lisa Diane, 4-night trip

6/10 Okay

Not sure if the hype of this place lived up to expectations upon reading reviews. The host is lovely and more than welcoming however everything runs on “African time” so don’t expect to do anything on time. Its sometimes a nice change from the chaos outside the riad in Marrakech streets, but difficult with a hungry toddler. The property is well maintained, but down a quiet dirty street. The service was slow and they were unable to keep up with breakfast demand. The roof terrace was nice but worn and most of the shades broken.
Nathaniel, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

The room was spotlessly clean and well equipped, but extremely small, especially the bathroom. It was a very slim single bed with a hard mattress, and noise during the night from the power unit. The breakfast was fine, and location good (nearby the road and the main square). Also very good and fast service at check-in.
Rein Blaalid, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Excellent

I chose this Riad since it was good value and also had the pools and spa. I booked the spa package which was excellent and refreshing. Place isn't new but it's charming and I had a nice stay there. The breakfast was simple but nice, beds comfortable and they had air-conditioning which is much needed as it was very hot. The staff went above and beyond to make your stay comfortable, very helpful and friendly. Overall it was an excellent stay.

Central location but average comfort

Central location, in the heart of the old city. 10mins walk from main old city square. However property is old and cramped. More like 2 star standard

I liked everything about it, it was a special experience
Shafia, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Staying in this riad was such a unique experience and we loved our stay. Check-in was quick and easy and the staff was very friendly. The room was nice and clean and we really enjoyed the pool. It was pretty chilly, but we were visiting in August so it was a nice relief from the hot day. Breakfast in the morning was delicious. We also had our 8 year old with us and felt like this was a family friendly accomodation.
Kimberly, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great stay in a beautiful spot

Overall we really enjoyed our stay. The location was perfect (less than a 15 min walk to many Marrakech attractions) and the building was spotless and beautiful. I think the room we'd reserved was double booked because we were placed in a smaller room the first night, but were subsequently upgraded to a junior suit the second night. The staff were very helpful and did everything they could to improve our stay, including finding a room that was a bit more accessible for my mobility issues.
2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Had a delightful 8 night stay at this gorgeous riad. Great location. Very quiet and only a 5 minute walk to the bustling souks. The staff are so friendly and helpful and the roof terraces are so pretty where breakfast is served every morning. The riad boasts an elegant library comprising of sumptuous sofas with an array of books and a separate room for playing chess. Very comfortable canopied areas all around the riad if the heat is too much or in the event of a shower. Top terrace has loungers with large sun umbrellas and there is an abundance of outside seating with tables. It was a joy to stay there!
Mary, 8-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Really enjoyable stay.

Great experience. Location in Medina near Mellah was fantastic. Riad has real character and is well maintained. Terrace is very comfortable for relaxing. Worth doing the trip to the Casbah in the Atlas Mountains and also having a treatment in the Hamam at the Riad. Staff were extremely helpful (especially Issem) - not at all pushy but willing to make suggestions and discuss what suits. Overall, a really enjoyable trip.
Neil, 4-night trip

8/10 Good

Some of the outdoor furniture was shabby and outdoor space did not feel very relaxing. Nowhere to get a drink in the road - both would have been greatly appreciated after the hustle and bustle outside. Staff were very attentive and helpful, with service at breakfast and daily room cleaning deserving of a special mention. It was in the perfect location close to lots of restaurants. Not sure I would book the trips again as we were the only people in the groups!
MARY, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

It’s a 20 minute walk to Jemaa El Fnaa and 2 minute walk to Tinsmith Square. Google map doesn’t give the accurate location. It’s better to have the property pick you up.
Julie, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

A superbly welcoming and traditional Riad

Absolutely amazing! Hassan and the rest of the team were so friendly, welcoming, informative and helpful. They couldn't do enough to make it the best possible stay. The roof top terrace was superb, with secluded areas to sit separate from other families, with sheltered areas to sit out of the sun if needed. Breakfast was also served on the terrace which was a gorgeous setting. The riad was situated perfectly, at the bottom of the souks, but away from the main market square, which was about a 5 minute walk. The Riad gave us a unique and traditional experience of Marrakech, a very cultural holiday. I would definitely return to Riad Africa, we absolutely loved it! A Mum who travelled with 4 older teens/early 20's, who also thoroughly enjoyed staying here too. They even got into the pool, and spa, even though it was a little cold!!
Becky, 2-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Terrible experience—this hotel was apparently overbooked, so they sent us to another tiny hotel, charging us same high price. Credit card machine didn’t work and they demanded we pay the entire bill upfront in cash. Worst check-in experience I’ve ever had, this place is a complete rip-off. Now I’ll try to get some money back through Expedia.
