Riyad El Cadi

This is a fabulous place to stay in Marrakech.

Pros: The location is perfect for exploring the Medina but it’s also easy to get to other interesting sites. The breakfast on the terrace was fresh and delicious. The riyad is really beautiful with several different and peaceful areas to relax. The pool was a bonus with very hot weather. We had dinner in the Riyad which was fantastic. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Cons: We were in a lovely room but be mindful there were narrow and winding stairs to get to it. Our luggage was delivered to our room by the very helpful staff however so that was not a problem.

Peaceful and quiet authentic Riyad right in the middle of the medina. Wonderful roof terrace

Pros: Staff were wonderful. The hotel location is incredibly quiet, even though it is a 2-minute walk from the souk. The roof terrace was wonderful and is a very strong positive for the hotel, perfect for sunsets. Great small pool for hot days. We had a very enjoyable dinner at the hotel. The design of the room was perfect. Would very happily stay again and recommend to family/friends

Cons: Wi-Fi is slightly patchy (due to building design/thickness of walls). But the Wi-Fi speed was extremely quick when close to a router.

Lovely place to stay - very cool and shabby chic

Pros: Brilliantly located just a 5 minute walk from the main square. An oasis of quiet and tranquility in the bustling city. Staff are amazing, nothing is too much trouble

Cons: Pool is in a courtyard that doesn’t get any sunlight so it’s freezing cold. Bed wasn’t very comfortable and we lost power to our room 2 out of 3 nights.

Beautiful place, exceptional persons

Pros: I cannot recommend enough this Riyad. It is beautiful and comfortable, but even more, the staff was super helpful and kind. This kindness was not only given to us as guests but to any people that we ran into at the market place (they were so polite that the walked us through the streets a couple of times so that we could find some places). It was an amazing and heart warming experience.

Pros: A perfect spot in the medina to stay with our kids. Beautiful rooftop breakfasts and super comfy beds!

Beautiful location, great service

Pros: Great communication. Host/ess and staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. We were received on time at the airport by the driver and greeted and escorted from the square the the Riad smoothly and without delay. A beautiful excursion to the mountains was arranged by them.

Cons: Breakfast during our 4-day stay was delicious, but options and variation in the food would have been appreciated.

Enjoyable!

Pros: The location is perfect, just a few minutes walking distance to the square! The blue house is so lovely, we had a great and memorable time there as a big family! Julia is amazing - she was trying her best to help us when we had difficulties and gave us the warmest hospitality. Her team was friendly and gave us the best service we could ever expect. Thank you so much.

We had a great stay despite the thunderstorms!

Pros: Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Wonderful food and great location…we didn’t get lost!

Cons: It wasn’t luxurious but that’s fine and was reflected in the cost.

Holiday 24\

Pros: The owner of the riyad was so lovely, really attentive and proper. The facilities were good. Even though our room didn't have air conditioning, they put in a powerful fan. And because it was so hot, they even brought us an extra fan without us asking. I like to sleep with two pillows, but there was only one, so I made do with what I had on the first night. When they cleaned our room, they brought an extra pillow. They even made us breakfast earlier than usual because we had to leave early. Overall, it was an amazing experience and really made our holiday. I would definitely recommend it.

Nice, comfortable and excellent food and very attentive service.

Pros: Traditional Riyad in the Medina. The food was excellent and presented incredibly well. The staff couldn’t do enough - especially Said - who stands out and is a perfect gentleman and goes way beyond the expected to please.

Cons: Needs a little TLC but need to remember that the city suffered from the earthquake last year - so repairs are ongoing. To reach Riyad El Cadi, you need to walk approx 150m from the Souk and whilst perfectly safe - can look a little intimidating. We had no issues whatsoever.
