"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

Riad Andalla Spa

10/10 Excellent

"This place was absolutely amazing especially the staff they make you feel truly at home and very welcomed would definitely stay here again and again. The location is only few mins walk from jemee el fna which was very convenient. If you are looking for the best riad in Marrakesh then this is the one would 100 percent recommend."

Radisson Blu Hotel, Marrakech Carré Eden

8/10 Good

"The rooms were clean and the breakfast was nice. The staff were helpful - however problems with the safe in the room occurred a couple of times and the process to resolve them was confusing."

Kennedy Hospitality Resort

8/10 Good

"Clean room and good staff"

Mövenpick Hotel Mansour Eddahbi Marrakech

10/10 Excellent

"11/10 — An Exceptional Hotel Experience Mövenpick Marrakech is truly more than a hotel—it is an experience. From the moment we arrived, everything was exceptional. The hotel is beautifully maintained, extremely clean, and every detail is taken care of. The staff are absolutely amazing. They go above and beyond to make sure you have everything you need, and their genuine hospitality makes you feel truly welcomed and cared for. The breakfast is one of the richest and most impressive I have ever experienced. The variety is incredible, everything is fresh, and the quantity is never an issue—the dishes and plates are constantly replenished. There are also live cooking stations, which make breakfast feel like a complete dining experience rather than simply a hotel buffet. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and immaculate, and the hotel offers excellent amenities. The pools are exceptionally clean and beautifully maintained, making them perfect for relaxing. The lobbies are huge and elegant, with lovely touches such as chocolate tasting and a dedicated Moroccan tea station. Everywhere you look, there is attention to cleanliness, comfort, quality, and service. I would honestly rate this hotel 11/10. It exceeded my expectations in every way. From the incredible staff and spectacular breakfast to the beautiful amenities and immaculate surroundings, Mövenpick Marrakech is truly more than amazing. I would absolutely return and highly recommend it."

TUI BLUE Medina Gardens – Adults Only – All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"The staff are amazing. The location cannot be beaten - walking distance from the square, souks, parks, thin the medina walls, but a safe haven, of relaxation to escape the bustle"

La Mamounia

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was stunning and service was immaculate to the smallest detail."

Barcelo Palmeraie Oasis Resort

8/10 Good

"The room was clean, the staff were okay. Hassan one of the kitchen staff was very helpful. Most of the food was bland meaning there was no salt and no spices added to the food. They didn't have varieties of food. Some of the foods were labelled and others were not, so I couldn't eat the unlabelled ones since I didn't know what they were. All in all the food was manageable but not fantastic."
