Very nice and peaceful riad, we had a lovely vegetarian couscous dinner on one night and staff were always very helpful, even taking us to our taxi back to the airport. Rooftop terrace was a very cosy place to relax and read.

Really lovely Riad. Clean, comfortable and close to main square with lots of shopping. Also easy to get to main attractions, most within walking distance or short taxi ride. The owner, Abdul, was very welcoming and helpful and so was his wife. I felt really at home there. Reasonably priced, would highly recommend! Oh, and basic breakfast included served on fabulous roof terrace!

I enjoyed my stay here. Abdul was lovely and welcoming. Although the place was very basic it was comfortable and clean. The breakfast was nice. It was quite hard to find the Riad to begin with. But once you get your bearings it’s close and easy to get to the main square and the souks. As a solo female traveller I felt safe in the area even though it felt quite chaotic when I first got there. No one bothered me and the locals/vendors were very friendly. I can recommend this Riad it was good value for money.

Check-in
Check-in was smooth and the owner was very friendly. This part of the experience was completely positive.
Stay
The riad has an excellent location: within two minutes you’re in the busy Medina, yet the rooms and the building are surprisingly quiet. Water pressure was great, there was always hot water, and the internet was fast.
However, the riad is very basic, and even with a member price I didn’t feel it offered good value. Communication was poor — before arrival they asked if I needed an airport transfer, but when I replied, I never received any answer.
Breakfast was very limited, only sweet items (pancakes and jam) and no savory options. By the third day I couldn’t eat it anymore. The room was small with a slightly stale smell, and there was no real storage space, so I had to live out of my suitcase during the entire stay.
Summary
Great location and quiet environment, but the overall comfort, breakfast, and communication don’t match the price. Good for travelers who only need the basics, but others may find it lacking.

Good stay in Medina. 👍
Good location, excellent freshly cooked breakfast on the terrace....(local breads, croissants, jams, eggs on some days) with fresh orange juice, tea and coffee.
Arranged a cab to collect us from the airport through them. No hassle!
Our room on the ground floor was a bit compact - we were given an option on a higher floor, but the circular stairway was a bit off-putting...
Abdul was amazing....he was always cleaning, sorting things out and always had a smile on his face! He went out of his way to help all the guests so as to make their hols perfect! WiFi was an issue on arrival, but was sorted out by the following day!

Homely Riad
The Riad is in a great location, set back from the main street so very quiet, lovely hosts who were very accommodating. Would definitely recommend for anyone staying in Marrakech, looking to explore the Medina and the souks.

This is an oasis in the heart of the medina, only minutes from the main square. The hosts are extremely kind and looked after us very well - great breakfast and help with booking excursions. Our room was simple but good - we slept well; the shower and toilet facilities were all good too. It's a little hard to find so I'd download a map onto a phone before you arrive.

The riad brings you peace and relaxation as soon as you walk into it. The room is well decorated with all amenities you need during your travel. The chef cooks excellent breakfast, and it is well served on daily until 11 am. The staff are super thoughtful and helpful to answer your questions. The best highlights of Marrakech!

We had a great stay at Riad Noor Charana. The hosts were very lovely and very willing to help us with taxi bookings.
The only thing that we had some difficulties with was that the wifi was a bit slower than what we are used to, which is to be expected.
Overall, I would 100% recommend this Riad to friends and family.

Nice clean hotel. Good breakfast. Close to Fena square (around 10 mins walk)
No receptionist and the cleaning lady checks you in. She is very nice and helpful
WIFI is terrible, barely works
There was a dripping noise from the toilet in my room that they couldn't fix at the moment and couldn't change my room.

I spent the first fifteen minutes after I arrived trying to convince them that I had paid online. The guy at the Riad expected me to pay again in cash and unfortunately his English was not very good. I ended up having to send receipt screenshots to someone on WhatsApp.
I didn’t actually stay at Riad Noor Charana even though that’s what I booked. I was put over in Riad Malfa. It was late and I didn’t feel like arguing with them.
My room at riad malfa was damp and smelled of mildew. I was happy it was just for one night.

Driving in Medina is definitely not for the faint-hearted. Abdul checked us in and was absolutely wonderful in directing us to a nearby car park to leave our car during our stay. He was really friendly throughout our stay. Thank you, Abdul!!
The place was very clean and considering it was in the heart of Medina, it was actually very quiet. Aircon rooms were fantastic. Breakfast each morning was fabulous. We would definitely stay her again.

I've stayed at Riad Noor Charana a number of times over the years and always have a great time. The rooms are simple but beautifully decorated and breakfast on the roof terrace is a real treat. The riad is in a great location and easily walkable from the souls and Jemma el Fna and the same lovely staff have worked there for years. My only feedback is that the WiFi barely worked which made making online bookings for restaurants and other attractions difficult and we had to use the WiFi in cafes and museums. With a lot of tourist attractions now requiring online booking good WiFi is essential.
