Fantastic! Would definitely stay again! The caretaker Rachida is amazing she went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and well taken care of. She attended to our every need and went out of her way to show us around the city and also helped us get the best deals at the souks. The food was wonderful! It is as advertised. Spacious, peaceful, relaxing and does have A/C! It was clean and seems well maintained for an over 100 year old ryiad. A real gem, a true Moroccan experience. When you are in the ryiad you feel like you leave the hustle and bustle behind and enter a peaceful relaxing space. Definitely would recommend.

Wonderful Stay for a Large Group

Our two American families (four adults, four teens, five children) enjoyed three lovely nights in Riad Agdid. We were warmly welcomed on our arrival and felt right at home in the beautifully appointed rooms. Stunning tile and design throughout! All was clean and comfortable, with lovely outdoor and indoor gathering spaces. The best part of the whole experience really was Rashida (the “house mom”), as other reviews have mentioned. She is warm, generous, and kind, the Moroccan older sister/grandmother that you always wanted, who showed us around the souks, helped us find places to eat, and prepared wonderful meals for us at the riad. We used Google Translate to communicate, as everyone only spoke French or Arabic, and sadly we spoke only a little French. We felt very safe and right at home. Thank you so much, Rashida and Armand!

Incredible Riad Experience!

Overall an incredible stay! This place is perfect for a large group of friends! The Riad is beautiful and very well-kept! The “house-mom” Rachida is wonderful. The cooking, her hospitality, and even her guiding us through the souk! She made the experience 100% better. We would have really been lost without her! She’s a true gem and an asset to the property! Also our driver Karin was able to take us everywhere we wanted to go! He was prompt, affordable, and wonderful. The whole trip was incredible!! We loved our stay, and we would 100% stay here again!

AMAZING STAY AT THE RIAD AGDID

We were six people stayed for 4 nights. We arranged or Rachida to prepare dinner for us on the 1st night (unfortunately are flight was delayed and we arrived late), Rachida welcomed us and prepared a lovely dinner. Its true what the reviews say Rachida made our stay amazing, giving advice and showing us around the area - it was a very personal service and she definitely went beyond the expected. The Riad is 15 min walk from the main square - its an oasis in a crazy place, lots of space, plunge pool on top floor, spacious bedrooms and just a very relaxing place. We definitely recommend.

Excellent Riad for Medina access

We were 6 people (including children), and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Rachida, our wonderful caretaker and cook, was amazing. Rachida has a great sense of humor—we had a lot of laughs using Google translation app with her, from French to English, and back. Kids loved the pool and we had tons of space. Rachida’s Moroccan breakfasts and dinners were the best! She helped us with shopping and travel information and cab arrangements. We will definitely go back.

Very nice stay

Recommended! The riad is beautiful and comfortable (conveniently located, spacious, clean, well-furnished*), but it is Rashida who made this a true five-star experience for us. Her good advice, wonderful cooking, and most especially her warmth and generosity will stay with us. We felt so welcomed! (* Two tiny suggestions: replace the bathroom towels with new ones and change out some of the indoor lightbulbs for a warmer light.)

We had the most amazing stay at this beautiful Riad.

Before we arrived, we felt well taken care of. The host Pierre responded promptly and effectively to all our questions, and he also assisted us with the transport and the bookings of the dinners at the riad. The best part was the staff, Rashida who works there, she is so kind and caring. From the beginning to the end, Rachida took good care of us and made sure we had everything we needed. The Riad is really beautiful and clean, it is exactly as you see it in the photo, curated, traditional style, comfortable and ideal for a group of friends.. Our rooms were nice and cozy all with en suite . The breakfast and dinner made by Rashida were delicious, We loved sitting on the terrace and relaxing with a drink . Rashida , who works there is amazing. Thanks to Pierre for making such a wonderful place in a great location. The location was great…a short walk away from the more hectic part of the medina but still closed to everything. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again.

The Riad was lovely and great to have exclusive use. It was well positioned for a stroll into the medina, clean and well stocked with utensils. Rachida is a star who made us feel immediately welcome and always helpful with advice for trips out and local information, she looked after us so well & also cooked us some of the best Morrocon food we tasted our entire trip. Great place, highly recommend!

An excellent stay

We enjoyed four nights in this lovely Riad, a short and fascinating walk from the centre of Marrakech. The Riad is beautiful, huge and a great place to relax after the heat, dust and noise of the souks. Rachida was a lovely, kind and genuine housekeeper who went above and beyond to help us have a great stay. She guided us on her arm to Djemaa El Fna on the first evening which was really helpful as it gave us confidence for our subsequent independent trips each day. Rachida also made us delicious breakfasts every morning and we enjoyed our morning chats with her - she is a real blessing!

Amazing Riad Experience

Our group of 5 had an amazing stay at this property. It was easy to find when putting in the Riad Name (Riad Agdid), and we had no issues with taxi or tour pickup. Keep in mind, the Riad is a part of history and located walking distance from the Medina and it’s essentially an open courtyard with rooms off to the side so it’s as clean as the environment allows. Only issues was spotty wifi. That being said, what made our experience extra special was Rachida. She was there to welcome us and showed up every morning to serve a light breakfast or whatever we asked. Our group is the planning type but Rachida always offered to set things up for us or call us a taxi or make dinner reservations. All this despite the language barrier, none of us spoke French but she was determined to communicate with us via google translate and even walked with us hand in hand to the Medina and told us all the things to watch out for and made us feel safe and comfortable. She told us to think of her as our mom while we were in Morocco and we felt like she was part of our family. If you’re unsure about plans or visiting Marrakesh, I cannot recommend staying with Rachida enough, you will be taken care of, that is for sure.

Great Riad a short walk from the souks

Great Riad - in a busy area but once the door is closed it’s very peaceful. Lots of space and I imagine the central courtyard in the hotter months will be well used - we used the roof terrace every day. Great comma with Pierre and Rachida the housekeeper is a star.

Genuine Marrakech Experience

This property definitely gives one a genuine Marrakech experience, rather than a tourist-packaged experience, but with Rachida providing the care and attention that one could expect from most tourist packages. Staying at the riad allowed us plenty of space to socialise, be noisy at times, and relax as though we were in our own home, which was a nice change from staying in a hotel or other more formal/structured accommodation. Its location is in a very busy area, and sometimes noisy, but the call to prayer - very loud at the riad - was welcome and we all found it beautiful. There was plenty of space to spread out, with outdoor and indoor places to gather as a family, and comfortable lounge areas on the terrace/roof to enjoy the heat and sun. The bedrooms were well appointed and spacious. Rachida was very accommodating at all times, and was a huge help providing assistance in arranging tours, finding shops, and providing delicious (enormous!) breakfasts each day, and sometimes dinner as well. Our French is pretty spotty, but with the assistance of Google translate on everyone's phones we were able to communicate well with Rachida. She is a joy, and we could not have had such a wonderful stay without her!

We loved it!

We arrived at the Riad late evening and wondered if we had made a mistake, but as soon as we walked through the door we were completely taken aback. It’s just beautiful and feels a million miles away from the hustle and bustle outside. The inner courtyard is cool, relaxing and such a lovely communal outside space, as is the rooftop terrace area with the plunge pool. We visited early November and the temperature was perfect to enjoy all our meals outside. The Riad is ideally situated and is a short walk from Jemaa el Fna and the Souks. The walk takes you through a busy area of small businesses which gives you a feel of Moroccan day to day life. The real attraction and benefit of the Riad is Rachida who, from the minute we walked through the door, could not have done more to make our stay any better. She cooked beautiful breakfasts for us every morning, arranged taxis, booked restaurants for us and generally helped to make our stay very special every step of the way. Thank you Rachida, you are a superstar. Thanks also to Pierre for your quick response to all our queries. We would not have any hesitation in recommending Riad Agdid to any of our friends.

Riad Agdid is stunning!

Beginning with the gorgeous front door of Riad Agdid, I was blown away by how beautiful this home is. The house is a tranquil respite after touring Marrakesh. We rented a car and parked in front of the garage of the Riad and that worked well, we felt very safe here. Directly outside of the house there is a tiny store to get water, etc if you need it. But what really makes the stay so memorable is Rachida, the house manager. Her breakfasts are delicious and we had her made dinner for us twice, she is an exceptional cook!! She is also very kind and will truly make your time in Marrakech all the more special, she can recommend restaurants, shops and places to visit. We miss Riad Agdid and Rachida and truly intended on staying there again!

A cool oasis in the mdina

We arrived to a warm welcome from Pierre and his wife as well as Rashida. Raschida is a real gem who looked after us all during our stay. We enjoyed a great breakfast cooked by her each morning and after a long day travelling it was great to have a meal ready the evening we arrived.she also was a mine of local information and advice and although her English was limited as was my French we still managed some great conversation. The Riad is full of character and charm and has lots of places to sit and relax in sun or shade depending on your choice. Whist some of our party found the beds a bit firm it was a very comfortable place to stay. A short walk from the main square with a shop for essentials on the door step this place has everything you need

What a fabulous week - Real authentic experience!

What a place to stay! We had such a fantastic time staying at the Riad, it is a truly beautiful space with plenty of room for a group of friends or a family. The Riad is well located just a short walk through the market to the central square. Pierre was very accommodating and made our arrival in Morocco very straightforward. The star of the trip was Rachida; what a lovely, funny, sweet soul! She took us in for the week and made sure we wanted for nothing. We can’t thank her enough for making an incredible week that little bit more special. I would recommend staying here to anyone, hopefully we’ll be back one day!
