Ryad Bianco

Three days in Marrakesh that felt like a travel in time

Pros: The breakfast was fantastic. It is served on the rooftop terrace on sunny days.

Pros: Convenient location on the outskirts of the Medina. There was hot water in the bathroom and sufficient toiletries provided. Air conditioning available. Polite host, Mohamed, with average English communication skills. Small, authentic room in a riad, with a rooftop terrace. Completely sufficient for a short stay.

Cons: Late breakfast (8:30–9:00 AM), which is not suitable for tourists’ schedules. We personally missed two breakfasts because of this. Otherwise, the breakfast is tasty. On the last morning, we managed to have it only because it was exceptionally served at 7:30 AM upon our request.

Pros: The hospitality 10/10, and was close enough to a lot of places of interest

Cons: Maybe the beds for me were too hard

Pros: we really enjoyed our stay here. Mohammed was really helpful and friendly. we were made very comfortable. it is also in a great location close to the souks

Pros: Welcoming and comfortable traditional ryad in the heart of the Marrakesh medina. Friendly and helpful staff. Even provided a car to meet me at the airport.

Affordable Central Rustic Riad

Pros: Mohammad was amazing and so kind. The facilities were great with typical rustic Riad flare....The price was excellent as was the location.

Cons: The nearby restaurant plays loud music each night...the bathrooms are typical Riad with difficult plumbing and tight layout.

Nice riad not too far from the hot spots

Pros: The riad was good overall, it is accessed via a few minutes’ walk through the alleys. The breakfast was excellent and the host was friendly though at times overbearing. I found the setting to be quiet and did not hear any noise from the adjacent rooms. The small amount of noise in the area was easily dispatched with earplugs.

Cons: The main knock is the comfort of the room. The bed and couch were both quite hard. It was unpleasant to sit even briefly to read. The shower head bracket was quite broken so the head could not be hung, it had to be hand held the entire time. The riad is nice, but it does feel like you’re intruding on a private home - there is seating on the ground floor that feels like it’s the host’s home or personal work space that you pass through to access your room. I learned after staying that many riads will give you some bread and a boiled egg to go if you have an early departure, this one simply informed me that for my 7am departure they could do nothing for food, which made for a difficult start to my day as nothing is open at that time.

Pros: I liked facilities in the room and design inside the room

Cons: Internet connection is very bad

Warm little homestay in the heart of the Medina

Pros: The Riad is a lovely little homestay with 5 rooms total. The host Mohammad is such a lovely guy and treated us very kindly throughout our whole stay. We loved sitting up on the terrace in the evenings and Mohammad made us local mint tea to enjoy up there and spent some time chatting with us. The breakfast is amazing value for the price you pay for the stay. Location is also incredible, only around the corner for the main drop-off point for taxis and it is located in the Medina so the option for exploring the souks is right at your doorstep! Will definitely stay there again next time we visit Marrakech!

Stay in a nice Riad in the Medina with great Staff ❤️

Pros: The Riad is not huge but very nice! The position is great, in the center but next to a nice street. The owner, Mohammed, is a very nice guy, he really took care of us and we thank him very much for his kindness. The ladies working there are very nice too (one of them also feeds the stray cats outside, which is huge plus for us ❤️) Overall nice people in a calm and nice place. Breakfast is great too!
