Riad Ta'achchaqa

We stayed at 3 riads in the Medina, this Riad was our favourite. Most comfortable beds. Best breakfast. Nicest rooftop surrounding scenery. It was the furthest Riad from the square that we stayed. We were unsure about the distance but it’s not far at all! Great staff. Would definitely stay again.

Nice and intimate Riad with very friendly staff. The location is within the laberynth of the Medina

very nice place. walking to the Riad may feel shady at first but once you enter the building it is very nice and comfortable. Staff is very helpful and room is clean. Make sure you remember how to get to the riad( wifi is terrible there so don't rely on google map all the time)

Staff friendly and keen to help. Once directions to and from the accommodation have been identified it really is pretty easy to access all the main areas of Marrakech. Slightly chilly at this time of the year (December) but staff do light an open fire in the evening. Would not recommend staying here with children.

We stayed here our first two nights in Marrakech. The staff was very friendly, we were greeted with tea / snacks which was perfect after our very long travel day. The room was very large, well appointed and comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay and it felt much more authentic then staying in a larger chain type hotel. The Riad was a little hard to find - I would recommend taking advantage of one of the guides to help you navigate the narrow streets. It was after dark when we arrived and would have been very difficult for us to find on our own.

No one spoken English at riad therefore, difficult to communicate. Didn't appreciate eating my breakfast with cats. Cooks was very nice. Location is great. Property does not reflect the pictures on website. It's not as clean and tidy.

This room was beautiful and a great value. For the price you can't go wrong!

If you want to get the real feel of the life and culture of Marrakesh....stay in the Medina. While tough to find initially, it is a short walk to the big square.

I'll say first that the only reason I gave four stars for 'Location' is that this Riad is incredibly difficult to find. As a result, I highly recommend going to their website after you've booked and emailing them about an airport pickup. It's a little pricey (well, pricey compared to just taking a taxi, though you could get out-negotiated or tricked there, too, so it balances out), but well-worth it to have someone lead you through the maze of alleys and tunnels to the Riad the first time. You might even get lost the second time you try to find your way back — I did. Otherwise, the place is wonderful. It's beautiful on the inside, the people who run the place and work there are incredibly accommodating and pleasant. I saw in a review somewhere before booking that the doors don't have their own keys, and that's true, but I never once felt like my possessions were in any danger, as the Riad is closed off from the rest of the world and there are staffers around on at all times. The breakfast is fairly simple (juice, coffee, Moroccan pancakes, eggs, bread, bowls of pomogranate seeds and cups of yogurt on alternating days, flatbread) — nothing to write home about, but good. The other meals that are available are wonderful; we had a three-part dinner ordered for the night we arrived, and it was fabulous. All in all, I'm really glad we booked this Riad — it's not the fanciest of the available options (we stopped through to eat and have coffee at some of the super high-end offerings during our stay in Marrakech), but it is very, very nice, especially for the price, and the people there made it a very relaxing place to stay, especially compared to the hustle and bustle of merchants and conmen that otherwise pervade the Medina area.

My girlfriend and I spent two nights in this Riad as well as one other in Marrakech and one in Essaouira. The location of this was a little different to the others as this was right in the heart of the souks. The maze that is the markets is difficult to navigate at the best of times and despite being seasoned travellers, we found locating this Riad near enough impossible without asking the locals. There are very few street names visible in Marrakech and this Riad has no signage what so ever, including on the front door. Despite this it was a nice little Riad with an excellent breakfast, a nice roof top terrace and two lovely Riad cats. The owner even got up early to make us breakfast on the last day which was a nice touch. The downsides were no padlocks on the room doors (you need to trust your fellow neighbours!), a surprise ‘city tax’ at the end and a need to ring the door bell whenever you wanted to be let in. I am not sure how safe the sooks are late at night and you need to be good with your bearing even having found this place! I will sit on the fence with this rating….

Our first experience in a Riad. Very dark room and bathroom, which seems to be normal for the Arab courtyard homes. The owners are extremely helpful and the breakfast was wonderful.

Finding the hotel is a mission impossible! Its not located in Google map, the phone number provided does`t exist, and you need a local guide or really big luck to spot it. Complete local experience - toilet without doors, apartment door without a lock. Though, the staff is great there - always responsible, provides guidance, tips and care at any time. And a hotel is very, very clean against and well-kept to Moroccan standards. Roof terrace - absolutely great, food - so,so. And have a chat with an orange cat :)

the riad had no clearly marked entrance with the number and name of the riad. No one answered the knock on the front door for five minutes. the surrounding neighborhood had no clearly marked street names and locals kept asking for money to guide us there. the experience outside was quite frightening, and once inside the one staff member we met spoke noting but arabic and very little french. The owner of the riad was no were to be found, and the one staff member called him over the phone. to sum up the experience we left immediately and walked the medina and found a safer cleaner more modern riad called Riad Darhani just a couple streets away, a perfect place for american travelers and very accommodating.

This Riad (small guest house) has only five rooms. But it also has five star service. It is probably one of the best hotel experiances I have ever had. I traveled there with my husband and five year old son. [...] the hotel manager tends to your every need. It is located in an ideal location near the famous square. The hotel is very tastefully decorated and makes you feel as if you are sleeping in a story from a thousand and one nights. My family loved this place.

We enjoyed our stay at this Riad, the room was lovely and the facilities good, including sun loungers on the roof area, a small lounge with a lit open fire and small area for sitting on the first floor. The courtyard is lovely and candle lit after dark. Our hosts were very helpful and we'd recommend staying here. It's difficult to find but that's not unusual with Riads.

Great location right in the Medina and easy and fast to go out & see stuff. Clean rooms, nothing fancy but if you want fancy book the Mamounia... Tip: As the prior posts already said it would be difficult to find I attach two photos how to find it: The first is the passage you need to find (don't follow google to the "closest point on the map": When coming from the south keep going straight ahead and follow the prolongation of rue Mouassine: Dar El Maâden, then you'll see the passageway with sign at the top on your left). Once you enter you'll directly see the signs on the second picture and from there no problem, just keep going...

Fantastic place and really sweet n nice owner and staff. Great location.

Agréable séjour dans ce charmant et chaleureux Riad, au coeur de la médina, endroit très reposant surtout après une journée sur la place jemà ´el fn'a, petit déjeuné complet avec produit typique du Maroc , je recommande vivement cet établissement , très bon accueil

This riad is really difficult to find. Wifi very slow and there was no door at the bathroom. Breakfast was delicious.

bon etat general
