Riad Bab Yacout & SPA

Pros: We were superbly looked after through our stay. The food, the room, and the care were all exceptional. Thank you

Pros: Wonderful stay, highly recommended. The riad was absolutely amazing. We really loved the beautiful and peaceful common areas, which created a very relaxing atmosphere. The staff were incredibly welcoming, kind, and helpful, making us feel truly at home. Breakfasts were excellent, fresh, and delicious, and we looked forward to them every morning. The location is also perfect, right in the medina and within easy walking distance of everything. We truly enjoyed our stay and would gladly come back

A truly wonderful experience!

Pros: Riad Bab Yacout was beautiful! We loved everything about it. It was clean, well situated and we felt so at home there. The breakfast was delicious and changed each day, but the best thing of all was the staff. They could not have been more friendly, welcoming and helpful and after a 3 night stay we were really sad to say goodbye. Hachim gave us such useful information throughout our trip and Ali was wonderful from giving us mint tea and cake (delicious) when we arrived, finding us umbrellas for the rain, serving breakfast and even showing us to the closest restaurant on our first night and taking our bags to the taxi stop on our last morning. We would recommend Riad Bab Yacout to anyone and look forward to returning one day.

Bab Yacout rules!

Pros: Great front desk workers, everybody was kind and could talk good English or French. Ali was super helpful and would cook for us, prepare some tea, carry our luggage, or get a taxi for us. The Riad is beautiful - good old historical building in the Medina- there is a bright patio in the center and an awesome terrace with stunning views. Rooms were incredible, comfortable beds and relaxing hot shower, also with AC. Super fast room service, they can clean up your room in less than an hour.

Cons: It can get pretty cold in winter, luckily the AC's got you covered! We couldn't enjoy the spa due to rainy weather, hopefully next time because we are definitely coming back!!

Pros: I had a wonderful stay!. Everyone’s hospitality was absolutely amazing. From the moment I stepped inside, I was welcomed with tea and made to feel at home. The riad itself is incredibly beautiful, and my room was huge, comfortable bed, excellent facilities, and a very relaxing atmosphere. All of the staff members were fantastic, especially Ali, who always checked in to see if I needed anything and was super friendly throughout my stay. He was excellent!! Everyone went above and beyond my expectations. This was my first time in Morocco, and they truly made me feel at home. Also the breakfast!! Was so delicious! It’s a real shame I could only stay for one night, but I will 100% be coming back. The riad is located in a quieter area of Marrakech, yet still within walking distance of the main square, a perfect location, especially if it’s your first time in the city. Everything about this place is just beautiful.

Pros: Very friendly, committed, and helpful staff available 24/7. Comfortable, firm mattress. Unlimited access to hot water at all times. Good-quality Wi-Fi internet. Efficiently functioning air conditioning (we used the heating mode in December). Clean rooms, serviced daily. Within a very short walking distance (approximately a few to several minutes) are the Jardin Majorelle and the YSL Museum. The RIAD is located in the medina, right next to the city walls. Just outside the walls, beyond the gate, only a few minutes’ walk from the Riad, there is a large local market with vegetables, fruit, and various goods (used by locals, not tourist souks), as well as a large stand for inexpensive taxis and buses. The airport is located nearby; however, due to traffic, the taxi ride takes approximately 30–40 minutes. The RIAD can assist with arranging a taxi; the fare to the airport is 16 EUR.

Cons: Although the surrounding markets and shops offer very inexpensive, fresh, and seasonal fruits, vegetables, and other local food products, RIAD BAB YAKUT served the cheapest juices and jams from large, mass-market packages for breakfast, with a high sugar content. The lighting in the room was poor and gloomy. During our stay, the RIAD did not offer any SPA services. We were offered a New Year’s Eve event at our riad. The offer sounded very attractive – it promised a magical evening on the rooftop, a romantic candlelit dinner, beautiful music, and an elegant view of Marrakech. It was also suggested that the offer was limited. In reality, however, it turned out to be an ordinary rooftop dinner with a random mix of guests from various riads, at least some of whom must have felt confused, as they had dressed as if for a proper New Year’s Eve ball in Europe. Due to an insufficient number of participants at this RIAD, the New Year’s Eve event was moved to another RIAD — an important consideration for guests traveling with a small child. The price for New Year’s Eve was €42 per adult and €25 per child and included dinner (two starters, a main course, and two desserts). The music consisted of popular English-language hits played from a mobile phone. Tables were set up on the rooftop, where it was cold in December. The food was very tasty. The staff of RIAD BAB YAKUT escorted us to the event and back to the RIAD and engaged us in conversation; however, overall, the New Year’s Eve offer was weak or overpriced.

Lovely Riad in the Medina

Pros: Beautiful riad in the medina. When we arrived we were welcomed into the courtyard and served traditional Moroccan tea. The courtyard and rooftop were lovely places to relax away from the chaos of the city. The staff were welcoming and friendly, it had a real family feel and they helped us with local recommendations and tips for onwards travel. The room was spacious with heating/air con and a powerful hot shower. The decor throughout the riad is beautiful and calming.

Pros: Great place to stay with amazing moroccan style and vibe. Hosts were great and extremely helpfull.Girls in the kitchen as well. Geat mint tea and great coffee. Would highly recommend this place to friends and family.

Pros: Location is within walking distance to all major attractions, nice breakfast, amazing staff

Cons: Overall, we liked everything, just a small recommendation would be to add a carpet or maybe just provide slippers since it wasn’t really comfortable to walk in the room

Pros: Very nice Riad in Medina, easy access with taxi, quite area, not too noisy, nice and rich breakfast. The staff was very kind. Special thank to Mouhamoud and Ali for theirs kindness and courtesy. Not the cheapest Riad but definetly worth the money. I slept in the suite rom. Highly recommended. I will be back.
