"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.

"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

Kenzi Rose Garden

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was amazing ,they advised us to go to Nouba restaurant which was marvelous ( highly recommended) Friendly staff in the bar , also reception. Swimming pool is good. Don’t spend too much time in Casablanca ( two days not more ) More activities can be found in Marrakesh. We are from Norway , USA and Iraq. Black cat used to be with us in the bar her name is Mimi, I wanted to invite her for a meal, I have been told she has been living in the hotel for 5 years and she likes to eat Italian food. Nic e hotel, we enjoyed our stay."

Savoy Le Grand Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay at the hotel. The staff were polite and helpful. The room service was also very good. The indoor and outdoor pools were the best part during our stay. In regard to breakfast, it would have been better to have more vegan options as they could only offer fruits and some chopped veggies. There is still some renovations going on in the hotel though we did not feel disturbed by it as we understand it is part of the process to make it better. Location is also great with access to mall, cafes and restaurants. Overall our stay at the hotel was amazing and we loved it."

Hotel Riu Tikida Palmeraie - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"The Food was good , the dinner area was clean and nice. The room need to get updated, specially the bathroom."
