Riad Ben Youssef

A very authentic Riad with a wonderful host. This will definitely be my go to Riad when I visit Marrakesh again.

Pros: Stunning, authentic, feast for the eyes. The host, Hakim was a pleasure to meet- such a calm persona, he made us feel immediately welcome and comfortable.

Cons: The shower had no pressure and was impossible to get the temperature right.

Pros: Hakim is the best host, kind and helpful makes you feel safe straight Way. The riad is lovely, beautiful architecture and decor, tradicional without bejng pretencious. Located in the Medina but in a quiet area so feels like an oasis in the midst of the city chaos.

Excellent! We would love to go back .

Pros: Beautiful place to stay, very professional and kind staff specially akim, his recommendations were priceless and we would not enjoyed as much as we did without his advices

Cons: The drainage of rhe bathroom was kind of blocked

Brilliant staff, simple but quaint Riad

Pros: The staff are brilliant and friendly. Hakim is very helpful and the staff went above and beyond to make my partner’s birthday a special day. Location is very central, a lot of sights and the souks are between 5-30 min walk from the Riad. The stay was great value for money.

Cons: The floor can get very wet in the bathroom as the showers are open. For women I would say bring a little compact mirror/light as there is only a mirror in the bathroom and if you’re small & near sighted like me, it can be difficult to do your makeup in that lighting. Also bring a mini shampoo and conditioner as they are not provided. Breakfast is simple (one egg, morrocan crepes, coffee & orange juice) and the same every morning. If you partner is above 6’, you may need to ask for a bigger bed!

Good position, great host.

Pros: The Riad is located in a very quiet area of the centre a few steps from the Koranic school. Our host Hakim was super kind, solved various of our problems and was always at our disposal with always fast response times. Recommended.

Cons: Nothing.

Full on Marrakesh experience .

Pros: Traditional Riad in a great central location. Hakim and is staff are exceptional. Spotlessly clean. Bed made every day & clean towels . Hakim made great recommendations even meeting us on arrival in the taxi and guiding us to the Riad .

Cons: It’s a traditional Riad so very old but it does need a little tlc - our bathroom leaked and some of the furniture needs a refurb. However, we wanted a traditional Riad & that’s what we got , it would not deter us from staying again,

Pros: The accommodation was very beautiful and authentic. Our host Hakim was extremely kind and helpful. We were very satisfied with this Riad and would recommend it to other travelers.

Pros: I liked a lot about this riad. Main points are Very nice staff very nice location. The bed was very comfortable. Breakfast is basic (bread and 1 egg) but nice.

Cons: Nothing I really didn't like. Just dont expect 5 star luxury. It is an authentic experience for being in the medina. Shower is a bit weak and shampoo isn't the nicest.

Overall, my stay was wonderful — a welcoming, authentic riad with great hospitality, despite a few small areas for impro

Pros: I loved everything about this riad. The accommodation was exceptional, and the host Hakim and the staff were incredibly accommodating and helpful. I had to leave another place earlier than planned due to some issues, and they kindly arranged for me to check in a night earlier without any problem. As a solo traveller, I felt very supported — Hakim and his team were so friendly and attentive, helping me get my bearings in the city. The riad itself is beautifully run, right in the heart of the medina, within easy walking distance of all the main attractions and great restaurants. The pool was a real highlight — quiet, refreshing, and perfect for the hot weather. The whole place has an authentic and elegant style that made my stay both comfortable and memorable.

Cons: At the moment, there are some construction works next to the riad, which unfortunately create noise and a lot of dust. As the city is already quite dry, this can feel a little uncomfortable at times. The riad itself could also benefit from some minor decorating updates. For breakfast, I would have appreciated a bit more variety — some fresh fruit, tea as an alternative to coffee, and perhaps different styles of eggs.

Great location and fantastic value for money

Pros: Great location, however it is not accesible by car. But you will not be drop off far from the property. The location is excellent and the room was good. A bit small, but absolutely fine. The breafast is good, and the owner is excepcional. Lots of tips on what to do and what not to do. It is worth the stay just because of him. He made my staying in Morocco a lot better.
