Quiet spot, convenient location
Lovely Riad (not that we have seen any others!) but every room had a bathroom and the tiling/wood features were really beautiful. Appreciated the laundry facilities too. Location was ideal - in quiet spot but 2 minutes gets you to the heart of the Kaaba and the Tombs. Hafida was so helpful and patient with us. We only speak English so Google Translate was a blessing. She helped organize so much for us - cooking class, spa, printing airline tickets and would take us to places to ensure we got to where we needed to go.

The property is adorable! I was fascinated by the decoration of the riad. The host Rabia communication was clear and Hafida the lady who was there to give us the keys was amazing. She offerd us tea, cookies and drew a map for the attractions around. We walked almost everywhere as the Road is close to many places. The neighborhood is safe and the Riad is spacious and spotoess. I will definitely book it again and recommend it to my family and friends.

Unique Stay
Loved the idea of staying in such an historic type of house. Was well decorated to allow you the full experience of Morrocco from plush furnishings to carved wooden doors to winding staircases. Appreciated that a few rooms had AC but not all, otherwise we would've stayed inside too much. Two patios were great for different reasons. One was great for yoga and had a washing machine and clothes line. The top patio allowed for sunset views and a quiet place in the evening to sit away from the noise. We didn't care for the location. It was initially hard to orient to, especially in the evening. When you go out, make sure you identify unique landmarks that will help you get home! Being close to the tomb is a big help buy only gets you so far. Once you get on the 'street' everything is clean and quiet, but first you do go down a market street that has sounds and smells of butchers, produce sellers, etc. So expect that. It can be wet and a bit grungy. Would we stay there again? Yes. There were only two of us but we loved migrating to different rooms throughout our stay. Especially the 3rd floor living space. Also to note, my son was able to successfully telework from the building so internet was quite good. And you will get amazing hit and crispy msmmen for breakfast!

Home away from home
The prior reviews for this Riad were spot on. We very much appreciated the inclusive airport pick-up. The location is very convenient for the main market, Medina, sites to be visited such as the palace, dining options, an ATM that actually charged a low fee and did not run out of cash, and access to taxis. It was hard to believe after walking down some tight streets (yes, I was hit by a careless motorbike) that such a large, clean, comfortable home is hidden behind the gated door. The hosts quickly responded to all of our inquiries and immediately addressed an issue we had with the internet. So many people have said very kind words for Hafida. Again, spot on. She is friendly with a constant smile, amazing and a great cook. The air-conditioning for the upstairs worked perfectly - note, the downstairs bedroom does not have air-conditioning, but it was still not uncomfortable. Numerous places to sit and relax after a busy day(s) of walking around. An open rooftop terrace to take in the sights and sounds of the city. We stayed two (2) nights in Marrakech and then went on a tour of the Sahara. Upon returning to Marrakech we were fortunate to be able to return to Riad Dar Almoravide for another night. It truly felt like we were going back to our very comfortable home. This home, the hosts, and Hafida all deserve 10 out of 10 for their respective ratings. One (1) word of advice, be sure to use landmarks to find your way back to the Riad. It is easy to get lost in the city.

Pristine riad in great location.
The riad was in a great location, super clean, and quiet at night. The terrace was perfect for relaxing in the evenings and enjoying the cool air. Hafida was super kind and helpful. Only had a couple issues: the bedroom with two beds has an AC that doesn’t work, the confusing information in the listing regarding airport transfers (they only cover transfers from the airport), and the terrible WiFi. I work remotely and needed the WiFi so had to move to a local cafe or other location in order to work. All in all would definitely recommend.

A Wonderful Stay!
We loved staying here! The space was gorgeous with exquisite attention to detail. The neighborhood was quiet and allowed for easy exploration of the nearby areas. Rabia was very responsive to our many questions and Hafida was a pure delight to interact with while in the home. We really appreciated the transfer from the train station, the filtered water, and the various communal sitting areas. We recommend this Riad without hesitation.

We had a great stay here in Marrakech. Right in the heart of the Medina. Hafida was an amazing host/cook/resource. Very warm, kind and helpful. The place was huge with many more rooms than we could possibly use. Rooftop view was great, looking over the city. Would definitely stay here again!

Marrakech charm
Beautiful moroccan home in the more traditional part of Medina. The place had multiple floors and beds and gives you a true Moroccan ambience. It is surrounded by plenty of shops and local Stores , restaurants . Hafida is a sweet and humble lady who frequents the property prepared daily breakfast and is very helpful for information concerning the area and helped us with scheduling taxis and bought us a few groceries . She also made a traditional meal for us called tagine which was great ! Thank you Hafida! Overall our stay was amazing . Owners communicated clearly with us from the start. Would definitely return to this vrbo upon our next trip to Morocco .

Riad in Marrakech
We completely enjoyed our stay. The location was perfectly located and our host was great with communication and accommodations. We had home cooked breakfast each morning by Hafida who was very kind, helpful and pleasant to be around. Hafida helped us in many ways which made our trip that much more enjoyable. We didn’t have to struggle with taxi service and she helped us organize our days and travel throughout Marrakech. Rabia our host was very accommodating and easy to communicate with. The Riad is authentic Moroccan which helped us experience the true culture. We loved the roof top where we spent many evening enjoying the outdoors. Thank you Rabia and Hafida!!! We wish you the best.

We couldn't have enjoyed our stay at this beautiful house more. It feels wonderfully Moroccan, is beautifully decorated, and the craftsmanship of the home is amazing. We were very comfortable, and the owners are great communicators - helpful and responsive. Another jewel in the crown of this lovely home is Hafida, one of the kindest and loveliest people we have ever met in our travels. She takes great care of this beautiful home. She provided wonderful breakfasts, and was so helpful with information about the area, assisting us with transport, and always making sure we were comfortable. We will never forget her!

Rabia’s riad is lovely. Central but quiet, and cool downstairs which was great in 45 degree heat! Halfida was really helpful and attentive when we needed anything. She provided good breakfasts. The transfers were pre-organised which was super reassuring arriving in a new city. Would stay again.

Beautiful riad all to yourself
Beautiful and clean property that you have all to yourself - no one else except your group/family/etc. Plenty of space, could easily sleep over a dozen people. A 10-minute walk to the main square (Jemaa el-Fnaa). The housekeeper, Hafida, made us dinner one night and it was fantastic. Strongly recommended accommodations!

We loved everything about our stay here. The home is beautiful, the location ideal and Hafida is a gem. She went over and above in answering our questions, booking a hamman and helping us arrange transport to our next destination. She even gave us an impromptu couscous cooking lesson and shared with us us harira. We look forward to a next visit.

This residence is a unique experience - situated in the midst of the old medina, it provides a calm, peaceful and comfortable environment. But above all, the host Hafida is the ultimate gift to any traveler. Her meals and her company are as sweet and savory as you could wish for. It was the place perfect place to land.

Cultural immersion in the heart of Marrakech
As a base for doing multiple side trips or to immerse yourself in Marrakech – or both -- you couldn’t choose a better whole-house vacation rental. Located in the kasbah, a quieter part of the medina, you can walk to all the old city sites: less than 10 minutes to Saadian Tombs and Badi Palace, 15 minutes to Bahia Palace and Dar Si Said, 22 minutes to Jemaa el-Fna and the souks, and a 15-minute cab ride to Jardin Majorelle. A local market is practically out the door and street food, good restaurants, cabs and carriages are nearby. The front door is nondescript and on one of the myriad small quiet side streets. The door opens almost directly into an open-to-the-sky courtyard – with a retractable roof. The kitchen, one small bedroom with full bath, a half bath, and a Moroccan-style sitting room are on this lowest floor surrounding the courtyard. Two bedrooms, both with full baths, are on the second floor (most couples will choose the more spacious one with Moroccan wooden doors facing the courtyard). On the third level is a half bath, a large sitting room with satellite TV, and access to a private deck. Up another level is the rooftop. Kids play outside the door but are quiet by 21:00 and the street is too small for traffic. Mosques are nearby so call to prayer is very noticeable, which we enjoyed. The home is clean, especially given that the roof is open to the sky in an air polluted city. Traditional wooden accents, tile, plaster work, and Moroccan furniture adorn the home. Everything is provided and functional as described, including wi-fi, heat, and air-con. And then there is Hafida. This joy of a traditional Moroccan woman is constantly smiling and freely offering information and conversation. Hafida lives nearby and checks in every morning after her kids are off to school. She cooks breakfast and will do laundry and cook extra meals for a modest cost. (Hafida’s couscous was awesome!) Please give Hafida our warmest regards when you visit: she is a gem. Rabia and Christophe checked in with us a few times before, during and after our visit. Both Hafida and Rabia were easily reached via WhatsApp. In short, this place is terrific. Take note, this home/riad is within the heart of the medina, the old walled city. If you are looking for a westernized hotel experience, choose an accommodation in the newer part of the city. Also, this home is traditionally designed with no windows facing the

Another Great Holiday
It would be our second trip to Marrakesh and we were not disappointed. We tend to always go for riads to get a greater feel of the culture of the Moroccan people and like on our first visit the hospitality was brilliant. Kudos to Hafida- who cooked all our meals (which was delicious) and she even made us an almond cake . She was friendly and also suggested places for us to visit. She helped to arrange our transportation to Essaouira- which was a brilliant day out- Marhaba Hafida. Our riad was comfortable , clean and very spacious. Rabia - the property owner responded very quickly to any queries and was always available to communicate with. In all, it was a wonderful holiday and I would suggest that if you are planning a holiday in Marrakesh- TRY OUT A RIAD

Excellent Marrakech Experience
The property is located close to sites, but quieter and less touristy then other Riads. Hafida was there with local information on the city and Muslim culture. We don’t speak Arabic or French, but used apps to communicate. The space is beautiful with traditional tiling and wood carving. There are a variety of areas to enjoy in the house- two sitting rooms and two terraces.
