Riad Irene

Pascal and Irene were excellent hosts who made sure we were comfortable and gave us a lot of tips to navigate the souk. Room was clean and the breakfast was delicious!

Nous avons passé un très bon moment, des hôtes très sympas, très bien accueilli, accès à la médina comme a la ville nouvelle très facilement, point de prise en charge excursions à 5 minutes, je recommande

Olimme 4 yötä Riad Irenessä ja olimme erittäin tyytyväisiä valintaamme. Isäntä pariskunta Pascal ja Irene ja henkilökunta olivat erittäin ystävällisiä ja tunsimme olomme heti kotoisaksi. Tilasimme Riadin kautta lentokentältä noudon (hinta n.12€) Meitä odotettiin kyltin kanssa lentoasemalla ja Pascal tuli meitä vastaan vanhan kaupungin muurille jotta varmasti löydämme perille vanhan kaupunkin sokkeloisilla kujilla. Hotellilla Pascal antoi meille itse tekemänsä kartan ja ohjeet joiden avulla pystyimme heti liikkumaan eksymättä. Aamiainen 8.30-11.00 oli tuoretta leipää erilaisia marmeladeja, pähkinätahnaa, jogurtti, banaania tuorepuristettua appelsiinimehua, kahvia tai teetä ja joka aamu paistettiin crepejä tai lättyjä. Ei buffet vaan jokaiselle tarjoiltiin erikseen pöytään, kun aamiaiselle saapui. Voin todellakin suositella tätä Riadia lämpimästi, varmasti löytyy ylellisempiäkin Riadeja mutta meille juuri tämä oli täydellinen. Ravintoloita löyty useampi 10 min rauhallisen kävelyn päästä. Myös basaarialueen alkuun on sama matka.

The riad was beautiful, the owners and staff were wonderful, and the breakfast was delicious and beautifully presented. The riad is in the Medina and some of the surrounding buildings appeared to have been damaged in the 2023 earthquake and have yet to be repaired. Also, some of the passages nearby were dark and in the process of being improved, but we never felt unsafe in the surrounding area. We felt like we were guests in a royal palace!

We were met by Pascal, riad owner, by the closest city gate. He showed us the 200m route to the riad. Upon opening the door to the property, we were amazed at the contrast! A beautiful entrance area welcomes you to a home set around a lovely courtyard furnished with three bistro style tables & chairs. This outside area has trees, terracotta pots of plants, small birds flying around & a lovely tiled water feature. A bedroom on one side, dining room & lounge the other, and a kitchen on the third side. Stairs which lead to the first floor with four further bedrooms - two large and one smaller overlooking the courtyard, another smaller with a street view. There are also seated areas overlooking the courtyard. The room that we stayed in - Essaouira Suite - was a good size with plenty of space, large bed, two armchairs & low table, sideboard, wardrobe with hangars and a stand for suitcase. Beautiful soft furnishings and rugs covering the tiled floor, windows and glazed door overlooking the courtyard. A/C to heat or cool. The ensuite shower room was a good size although no shower enclosure meant the floor got wet. More stairs to rooftop terrace. Sunbeds, sofas, tables & chairs. Ample bkfst of yoghurt, fruit, rolls & varied pastries/pancakes. An ancient city is always going to have its challenges re conditions and cleanliness - having said this I witnessed many people sweeping the pathway outside their property & many damping down to prevent dust. Lovely staff. We would revisit.

Merci a zakia et abdou pour leur gentillesse .petit dejeuner copieux.

Tutto perfetto come da prenotazione . Proprietari molto gentili e disponibili . Il Riad non è raggiungibile in auto ma in pochi minuti a piedi . Il Riad è posizionato nella medina molto comodo a tutto.

Amazing service and very kind, helpful hosts! The rooms are beautiful and the riad itself is super charming. We especially enjoyed the relaxing rooftop and great food. The location is perfect: close to both the center and pick-up locations outside of the Medina.

We had an amazing time staying in a Riad in the Medina. We got to learn about the culture and the people's daily lives, which was great. The hosts were super friendly and made us feel right at home. The place is charming. The only thing we thought could be improved was the breakfast, which could have been more varied. It can get a bit tiresome eating exactly the same food every day if you're staying more than 2 days.

Séjour de découverte de Marrakech. Le Riad Irène est extraordinaire, d'un très bon confort (excellente literie, décoration soignée) Irène et Pascal, très sympathiques, nous ont réservé un accueil chaleureux, à l'écoute de nos attentes en matières de découvertes de la ville. Petits déjeuners copieux et variés assurés par Zakia et Abdou aux petits soins pour nous durant tout le séjour.

Our hosts were anazing, as were the Staff and the accommodation. The rooftop was a fantastic lounge area and a sunbathers delight. Nothing was too much trouble and Irene's authentic meal on our last night was the perfect end to our holiday.

Stayed in double room which was clean, had air conditioning, shower room and hairdryer. Towels were clean but had seen better days. Zakia and Abdou, who manage the Riad, were amazing. They were always available, helpful and made us feel like we were staying in their home. Continental style breakfast was provided and we had an evening meal at the Riad which was delicious. We loved the roof top terrace. The Riad is within walking distance of the souks but far enough away to be fairly quiet. A taxi was organised to pick us up and take us to the airport which worked well and was a reasonable price. The Riad is not accessible by cars but we were accompanied both ways by Zakia on the the short walk to and from the taxi. If you want an authentic Riad experience, Riad Irene is definitely one to consider.

Very much enjoyed our stay at Riad Irene. There was nothing to find fault with in our acomodation, the room & bathroom were superb, bedroom spacious, the decor & furnishing were lovely & the bed was super comfy. We very much enjoyed the breakfast every morning. The owner Pascal was very helpful as it was our first visit to Marrakech, providing us with a guide book, map & some recommendations of good places to eat as the riad was only serving breakfast during our stay & not evening meals. The location is a little tricky to find if you are new to the city but as Pascal arranged our taxi to & from the airport this was not a problem for us. We only got lost one night try to finding our way back after dark but that all part of the charm of being in the Medina.

Tolle Unterkunft, Toller und hilfsbereiter Gastgeber. Jederzeit wieder 👍

We had a lovely stay at Riad Irene, it is well appointed to discover the northern side of the Medina, it’s about a 15 minute walk from the start of the souks, through a maze of twisting back streets, you can also easily navigate within the city walls to reach many fascinating monuments and travel highlights from restaurants to Hammams to local vendors and tours. We really enjoyed our stay.

What a gem! Everything was perfect. The owners Pascal and Irene are professional, kind and go out of their way to ensure guests have an amazing stay. It’s all the little things that make this place so special. The attention to detail in the decor, the cleanliness of the whole place, Zakia and Abdou the diligent and caring staff and the quality of the food just a few things to mention. I would recommend you book a dinner there. The clientele that visits are also quality and everyone so friendly and considerate. The room itself is exactly as described and the quality of the bed is fantastic. Lots of space and a very nice bathroom with a powerful shower and hot water 24/7. I will definitely visit again and highly recommend this place.

Un Riad muy cuidado dentro de la Medina, estuvimos sólo 3 noches, no se puede pedir más, sobre todo el capital humano, tanto Abdou como Zakia hicieron de nuestro paso por Marrakech fuera de esos viajes para repetir. Muy agradecidos por su hospitalidad y buen hacer. Sin duda repetiremos

Bel endroit avec du charme et du personnel charmant gentil serviable L'emplacement est plutôt a l'écart des souks donc c calme mais il faut marcher pas mal ou prendre un taxi pour avoir du choix en restauration

This riad is fabulous, spotlessly clean and tidy, homely, the communal areas and so lovely with the fountain and the palm trees and the room was comfortable, slept so well. Breakfast was great, pancakes and jams, bread rolls, the freshest orange juice and coffee or tea however you like it. Abdul met us at the entrance to the medina and walked us back as it was dark, we were met with mint tea which was amazing. Zakia cooking is great, we had a 3 course meal with wine in the dining room & she went the extra mile with candles and rose petals on the table. Nothing was too much trouble, they organised a taxi to pick us up and take us back to the airport, gave us a map of how to get to the square etc. we would definitely stay here again, it’s so quiet from the hustle and bustle from outside.

We had 3 nights in this very beautiful riad. Beautiful interieur all over the riad. Very helpful and friendly hosts. The riad was situated in a quiet and Secure area. Very nice and beautiful rooftopgarden. And a good breakfast. Thet have our best recommendations
