I loved my stay at Riad Africa. The property is beautiful and located close to the main path in the souk. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They even gave me a free room upgrade. The room was lovely, comfortable, and the breakfast was tasty. I'd definitely recommend this location and would happily stay again when back in Marrakech!

I chose this Riad since it was good value and also had the pools and spa. I booked the spa package which was excellent and refreshing. Place isn't new but it's charming and I had a nice stay there. The breakfast was simple but nice, beds comfortable and they had air-conditioning which is much needed as it was very hot. The staff went above and beyond to make your stay comfortable, very helpful and friendly. Overall it was an excellent stay.

Travelling with another couple. They stayed at Riad Africa but we got bumped to Riad Explore 650 m up the souk and down another back alley. Had early flight. no way to sleep with the noise outside and inside. Pro tip: DO NOT BOOK ACCOMODATIONS IN THE MEDINA! Almost got mugged at 3 am trying to get our cab after clerk said he would walk us down but was no where to be found. Room was updated and nice but good luck sleeping with all the noise of dogs, cats, neighbors, motor cycles etc which does not stop at anytime. Very poor choice by us. Our fault for not knowing what we were doing.

The economy room is excruciatingly small and claustrophobic - pretty much a closet. This is not apparent in the pictures taken and when asking front desk to upgrade had to pay full price of the new room to get the upgrade - this is really unacceptable.

Arrived to be told that the room I had booked was not available, and we were being put in there sister riad. At 1st I was not impressed . Once taken to the other riad I changed my mind. It was amazing, the room had everything that you wanted. Kettle, fridge, tea and coffee, smart tv and air-conditioning. Room was very clean. Only downside I can say is the shower was always cold. Breakfast was amazing and and the hosts were great, nothing was too much trouble. They even gave my wife and I a amazing evening dinner for the inconvenience. Would definitely stay here again.

My daughter and I had a good stay at this property. The room was comfortable, the bathroom was pretty small and didn’t drain very well. There was some construction noise early in the morning, probably work going on in one of the adjacent rooms. Since it happened on the day we were leaving, we didn’t bother to bring it up with the staff.

Not sure if the hype of this place lived up to expectations upon reading reviews. The host is lovely and more than welcoming however everything runs on “African time” so don’t expect to do anything on time. Its sometimes a nice change from the chaos outside the riad in Marrakech streets, but difficult with a hungry toddler. The property is well maintained, but down a quiet dirty street. The service was slow and they were unable to keep up with breakfast demand. The roof terrace was nice but worn and most of the shades broken.

The services provided by the property were ok. No complimentary tea or warm reception. Just water was provided. One issue I had and wasn’t addressed properly by the staff was about arranging a pickup from the station to Riad, I contacted the property via Expedia and there was no WhatsApp info, they didn’t respond to query in time. When I showed them unanswered messages the staff was trying to tell me that you may have contacted wrong property. I politely explained pls check this message it is sent directly to your property, there is no other property. I had to arrange a private pick up, wait at the station for 30 mins, pay extra for the trolley service and the staff response was “oh well you are here now”. One more time I asked for transportation back to the Airport I asked for help but their reference rates were very high as compared to services offered by others in the same area. To be clear these are not their direct services but extended services or through their affiliates. But for a tourist not familiar with the area and to get an end to end experience these were big gaps that I didn’t experience at any other Riad. All other Riads in Morocco were very helpful and arranged these services happily, Going out of their way and tried to make a good experience for me and my family.

The room was spotlessly clean and well equipped, but extremely small, especially the bathroom. It was a very slim single bed with a hard mattress, and noise during the night from the power unit. The breakfast was fine, and location good (nearby the road and the main square). Also very good and fast service at check-in.
