The Riad was perfect for 3 adults (could easily have a few more). Loved the less tourist heavy location …. but still walking distance (10-15 min) to all the sights. We loved Marakesh and hope to be back. The communication with the owners was the best I’ve ever had - thank Rabia and Christophe. Also Hafida is amazing !! She is warm and welcoming on arrival and for breakfast everyday. She was incredibly help to answer questions and make recommendation for dinner, tours, etc. Thank you all for a wonderful family stay !!

Kafida the housekeeper was FANTASTIC ..The owners were very responsive and shared good information with us. The Riad was very comfortable. The only downside was that the showers were not top notch and the toilet tanks took a long time to refill after flushing.

Located conveniently within the Kasbah- short walk from the Saadian Tombs & Bab Aganou. Next to many excellent cafes and restaurants. There were issues with heating & hot water on our first day (it's pretty cold in January) but the host was very responsive and worked quickly to address our concerns. Although we booked one bedroom, Rabia allowed us to use one room for sleeping & the other for showering since the water pressure in our primary bedroom was inadequate. The place itself was huge for just the two of us & included access to two salons, a balcony & rooftop. The host also generously offered to arrange for taxi pick up/ drop off & breakfast was included. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and would love to return in warmer weather.

My partner and I stayed for two weeks in December 2025 and enjoyed our time spend in The Riad. The weather didn't helped so the roof cover wasn't open but I guess in the summer is really great. The Riad is typical morrocon and offers plenty of room for up to six persons. The communication with Rabia & Christophe the hosts -was faultless and Hafida did a great job , she makes nice fresh breakfast every morning , gave us advi e about the day trips, shopping, attractions and she responded quickly to all our enquiries. We definitely recommend the location. Thank you Rabia, Christophe and Hafida!

What a great experience. Hafida is an absolute gem. She took care of us from start to finish. Every day Hafida cooked us breakfast, she even helped us get to the local hammam or restaurants when we were lost. Morocco has become one of my favourite countries that I visited and it is predominantly because of the love and care the local people show to you. Amazing experience, would love to come again and again

Hafida really made our stay amazing! She helped us out if we had issues and was there any time we needed her. The rooftop section could be more cozy with more comfortable chairs, but overall is a great place to stay for a real Marrakech experience.

Absolutely stunning Riad, but what made our stay unforgettable was Hafida. She arranged for our pickup from the airport, walked us to the Riad, gave us a tour, and offered to book us any activities or recommend any shops. She came by every morning to prepare us a traditional Moroccan breakfast which was a great way to get a head start on our days! The location is right where all the excitement is, but tucked away in a quiet corner so we were able to wind down easily. I would absolutely stay here again in th be future, and there's plenty of room for the whole family! If you're ready for adventure in Marrakech, this is the perfect place to stay!

We enjoyed our stay in Rabia’s riad. The house is HUGE with room for a LOT more people than just me and my sister (!) and is equipped with everything you need and then some! Communication with Rabia was easy and fast — and a major highlight of the stay was the assistance we got from Hafida, the housekeeper, who is so knowledgeable about Marrakesh and incredibly helpful with logistics.
Breakfast!

We had a wonderful stay in Marrakech. The riad was incredibly beautiful, we took many pictures of the authentically restored rooms and of the terrace. Hafida was very lovely and accommodating, helping us with transport and reservations, as well as cooking delicious breakfasts and pouring Moroccan tea. Rabia was very easy to communicate with and extremely thorough sorting out our transfer for the airport, including additional help when our flight was canceled and our daughter arrived a day before we did, It was an unforgettable experience and we would highly recommend it!Many thanks to Rabia and Hafida for making our time in Marrakech fabulous!

Authentic riad in an excellent location

Rabia’s riad is a perfect place to stay if you want to explore Marrakesh. The Riad is beautifully decorated, spacious and comfortable. We loved the living room and the rooftop. Hafida helped us getting around the city, booked us hammam, restaurant, taxi and took care of us during our stay. She also made us wonderful pancakes for breakfast, that we appreciated very much

Dream Road, great location

Kasbah felt a quieter, safer location. However was never more than 20 mins walk to anywhere in the centre of Marrakech. Rabia and Hafida were always attentive and happy to help. Hafida’s breakfasts were a very welcome start to the morning. The terrace and courtyard were lovely to sit in. Great view over the rooftops

Charming riad

We had a wonderful stay at this riad in Marrakesh! The best part of the riad was the hostess, Hafida. Hafida made us feel completely at home with her warm and welcoming energy. She went above and beyond to ensure our comfort, always greeting us with a kind smile and offering thoughtful touches that made our stay extra special.The riad itself was charming—the beautiful renovations perfectly blended modern comfort with traditional Moroccan charm. Wifi was strong- no problems. Photos are accurate- room/bathroom with two beds is a bit small for 3 guests, but manageable, especially only for sleeping as there are plenty of larger common areas available in the home. Location good— agree with other reviews about finding specific landmarks to help you remember how to navigate back at night. But what truly made our experience was Hafida’s hospitality. Whether it was her delicious homemade breakfast, her helpful local recommendations, or just her lovely presence, she made our trip feel so much more personal and meaningful. Merci beaucoup pour tout Hafida, et merci de me permettre de practiquer mon francais!
