Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Our stay at Rihad Al Wifak was wonderful. The place is lovely and extremely neat. It’s located in a very peaceful area of the Medina and it’s very quiet at nighttime too. Breakfast was delicious and with a nice variety of freshly made Moroccan breads and jams and traditional amlou. The host, Ibrahim, was phenomenal! He was extremely friendly and welcoming. He also gave us plenty of suggestions to get around town and not only. He was so kind to help us out with our own itinerary by providing lots of information about the best road to take in order to travel across the country and the most amazing stops and attractions to check out along the way. Our stay at Riad Al Wifak was so good we even decided to book an additional night at their place the night before flying back to our country. Extremely recommended!
Absolutely brilliant Riad. Beautiful rooms and a gorgeous pool.
Le Riad est un véritable havre de tranquillité et idéalement situé dans la Médina pour qui veut déambuler dans les souks. Un grand merci à Brahim qui est très accueillant et très arrangeant. Les repas étaient parfaits.
Les propriétaires Zachia et son mari sont très accueillants et toujours dispo Petit déjeuner très bon
Rien
Emplacement proche de la place jemaa el fna, propreté chambre et sdb même si vétustes, piscine
Petit déjeuner hyper basique même pas un jus d orange frais!! dommage! manque total de renseignements et d informations
Alles sehr gepflegt und sauber. Schönes Design. Unglaublich nette zuvorkommende Besitzer. Jederzeit wieder gerne
What a great place. So happy we found it. An exceptional Riad, newly restored with much love and attention to detail using local craftsman. The lovely hosts were always there and showed great flexibility when I made a mistake with the booking dates. Great breakfast on the rooftop. Hope to see you soon again!
The facility is near good restaurants. Very attentive staff. Clean facility.
La atención excelente. Abraham nos brindó un excelente servicio. Las instalaciones son iguales que en las fotos. El desayuno espectacular
Un poco sucias las calles para llegar al Riad, basura por todos lados
Once you are inside the Riad you felt safe and comfortable with a pleasant garden vibe and traditional terrace where the breakfast was served. The pool was small but clean and cold which was essential for cooling after a day in the Madena. The rooms were comfortable and spacious with good air conditioning.
Wifi was kind of poor. No tv(but not there for tv) Had to pay for bottled water within the Riad and thought that should be included in the price that wasn’t cheap for the stay. Wasn’t explained at the beginning of the stay about the city tax. The alley to the Riad was misleading because of how poor shape the a couple of lots were where debris from a demolished building was laid to rest as some garbage was also in the debris. Once you passed by it however you became used to the disheveled appearance. Reaching the main alley ways put your mind to rest.
The breakfast quite good, warming staff and service, decoration very beautiful
It is a bit hard to find but basically ok, typical for Riad
L’emplacement est vraiment idéal dans la médina et le gérant du Riad Ibrahim est adorable prévenant et arrive à satisfaire chaque demande de ses clients. L’établissement est extrêmement calme et les petits déjeuners particulièrement délicieux et tout est fait maison ! Une très belle surprise en découvrant ces lieux ! Encore merci à Ibrahim pour sa disponibilité et sa gentillesse !
Verrassende locatie! Locatie op loopafstand van de souk. Zeer behulpzame en vriendelijke eigenaar.
Niets
The staff were fantastic, going over and above to make our stay so memorable. Breakfast was a tasty selection of eggs (cooked to order), fresh breads, preserves, fruit and yogurt plus freshly brewed coffee, all served on the lovely roof terrace. Our room was welcoming and stylish with everything we needed for our stay (hairdryer, toiletries etc) and the location of the riad perfect, approximately 15-20 minutes walk from Jemaa el Fna square, with plenty of shopping en route!
Nothing!
Потрясающие люди! Хозяин Хамид приятный мужчина, который выслушает любую просьбу и поможет. Для нашего приезда он подготовил цветы на день рождения девушки, подсказывал варианты с ужинами, организовал экскурсию. Завтраки - отвал башки. Вкусно, понятно и с марокканским вайбом. Мы первый раз попробовали амлю и влюбилась. Ну и очень красиво внутри риада, интерьеры на 10 баллов из 10. Плюс хорошее расположение. Живёте внутри старого города, но немного вдали от шума.
Важный нюанс - такси не привезет к риаду. Дорога в 5 минутах от места. Поэтому посмотрите на карте как идти, или попросите вас встретить. Мы приехали ночью и пошли сами, эта было интересно, но повторять бы я не стал. Плюс из мелочей - в нашем номере очень специфически пах комод.
The hosts were very kind, helpful and always available. The food and breakfasts were a real treat. The rooms were spacious enough and comfortable. We were in a great location close to the souks and main attractions, but very quiet. The place was just really pretty and we had a great time.
Nothing
Super séjour dans le Riad de Mohamed. Un personnel toujours au petit soin avec nous. Nous avons pu profiter d'un massage marocain à domicile dans le Hammam. À cause d'un départ tôt le matin, Mohamed nous a préparé un petit-déjeuner personnel. Je recommande à tout point de vue !!! Un grand merci.
El Riad, además de muy bonito y acogedor, se encuentra idealmente ubicado, cerca de todo, pero lo suficientemente alejado para respirar tranquilidad. El personal fue muy atento y servicial y los desayunos en la azotea la forma más deliciosa para empezar un día de vacaciones. Sin ninguna duda repetiría.
No hubo nada que no me gustase.
Le riad est bien situé très proche des souks et de la place. Calme et paisible, vous n'entendez aucun bruit une fois à l'intérieur, patio décoré avec goût, très relaxant ! Les petits déjeuner sont variés et excellents ! Personnel au petit soin et de bons conseils, mention spéciale pour Ibraim, disponible tout le séjour et de bons conseils également. Accueil chaleureux !
Rien à dire, chambre très bien équipée peut-être prévoir une raclette pour la douche de la chambre de 3 personnes mais sinon tout était parfait.
Nous avons passé un agréable séjour. Le lieu est magnifique, confortable et d’une propreté irréprochable. Le petit déjeuner était copieux et délicieux, un vrai plus pour bien commencer la journée. Un grand merci à Ibrahim qui a été aux petits soins tout au long du séjour, toujours disponible et attentionné.
Le seul petit bémol concerne l’absence de clé pour la porte extérieure, mais Ibrahim était toujours là pour nous ouvrir à n’importe quelle heure.
Emplacement / petit dej
Bâche dues aux pluies > moins lumineux, plus sombre, odeurs pas très agréables dans les chambres
Le personnel est d’une gentillesse incroyable. En plus d’être bien situé, le Riad est beau, confortable et au calme. C’est vraiment un plaisir d’y séjourner.
Rien, tout est au top !
A lovely riad with authentic Moroccan charm. The rooms are clean and comfortable, breakfast is fresh and tasty, and the staff are warm and helpful. Perfect location—close to the medina yet peaceful. Highly recommended!
Abbiamo soggiornato in questa struttura e non avremmo potuto fare scelta migliore. La colazione è stata senza dubbio uno dei momenti più piacevoli dell’intero viaggio. Per quanto riguarda il servizio, Ibrahim con grande professionalità è stato disponibile a qualsiasi ora del giorno e della notte per supportarci per ogni necessità e organizzazione. Consigliato
Un super accueil, l’équipe est bienveillante. Un grand merci à Ibrahim pour sa gentillesse et sa disponibilité.
Le mobilier, les espaces, l'emplacement
Isolation phonique largement insuffisante dans la chambre car porte et fenêtres ajourées
The Riad is beautiful and centrally located - just walking distance from all the buzz of the Souks and restaurants. The room was impeccable and very comfortable. The staff at the Riad looks after you like family. Your host Ibrahim is the best! has a wealth of information and is quick to answer any questions or requests you may have. If you are looking for comfort and special service, Riad al Wifak has you covered.
nothing - leaving after our holiday
Beautiful, clean, comfortable, great location, breakfast was fantastic and the host and all the staff were incredible welcoming, helpful and friendly- would highly recommend and we will return.
The location, breakfast and ambience were brilliant. Ibrahim was so welcoming and always helpful and arranged taxis and a local guide for us.
It would be lovely to have access to a kettle in the room. But apart from that everything was very perfect.
Frokosten var helt fantastisk! Koselig sitteplasser og nydelig mat. Solfylt og fint. Veldig hyggelig vertskap, og Ibrahim hjalp oss med alt vi trengte. (Spørsmål om frokost, firhjuling-kjøring (og bestilte for oss), restauranter, steder vi burde oppleve og mye annet) Utrolig koselig Riad, og helt stille og rolig inne der. Første kvelden fikk vi middag på Riaden, og det var utrolig god mat. Anbefaler alle som skal hit å takke ja til et middagsmåltid! Vil absolutt anbefale dette stedet til andre, ingen tvil!
Tutto! Posizione e pulizia. Colazione abbondante, ottima e cucinata sul momento. Il personale gentilissimo, soprattutto Ibrahim (spero di averlo scritto corretto) molto disponibile e pronto a dare consigli. A noi ha organizzato un tour privato di un pomeriggio nel deserto di Agafay con giro sul cammello e cena al tramonto.stupendo!
The host was really nice, and the rooms/bathrooms were very clean. The breakfast was the best part and gave a true Moroccan experience.
The wifi was sometimes slow but overall a really good experience and stay.
Vänlig och hjälpsam personal
Accueil très chaleureux par les hôtes, la chambre est très confortable et spacieuse. Le petit déjeuner fait maison sur la terrasse est délicieux, et le dîner sur demande est excellent ! tout est parfait ! Je recommande !
De vriendelijkheid, goede locatie t.o.v. de Medina en de verzorgde uitstraling van de Rias. En natuurlijk de heerlijke ontbijtjes op het dakterras.
Limpieza, tranquilidad, buena cama y desayuno. Ibrahim siempre dispuesto a resolver dudas y a realizarte propuestas.
El Riad está en la zona de la Medina a la que no se llega en Taxi. Tienes que caminar un mínimo de 5-10 min. Reservamos 5 noches para disfrutar de Marrakech y podernos relajarnos en la piscina en los momentos de calor. Nos encontramos con la zona del patio cubierta por un plástico en la parte superior que no quitan hasta Mayo, ideal para los días de lluvia pero que impiden disfrutar de la piscina en días soleados. Si llegase a saberlo antes, hubiese elegido otra alternativa. En el Riad no hablan español. El precio pagado no se corresponde con lo que se paga en Europa por un alojamiento similar. Marrakech es maravilloso pero se está volviendo prohibitivo.
Ce Ryad a le luxe de la simplicité élégante, il est magnifique. L odeur délicate des orangers dans la cour est un enchantement. Il est très confortable chaque petit détail est pensé pour qu on se sente bien et tout est très confortable. Le petit dejeuner est délicieux, copieux et tout est fait maison. N’hésitez pas non plus à demander le dîner dans la cour le soir, il est bien meilleur que tous les restaurants que nous avons testés à Marrackech et c est très reposant et agréable de dîner dans une atmosphère calme apres l effervescence de la médina.
Rien
nice decoration, very friendly owner, attentive staff, lovely breakfast
Le Riad est très bien placé, très propre, le petit déjeuner est incroyable et Ibrahim et toute l’équipe sont très professionnels et font tout pour que le séjour se passe au mieux. Notre famille avec 3 enfants s’est sentie très bien accueillie! Le calme dans le Riad une fois la porte passée est très agréable ! Nous reviendrons avec plaisir !
De devoir partir
Beautiful place with excellence service and location. A very enjoyable stay.
Superb host- very accommodating, clean rooms, good value, nice breakfast (recommend dinner once at the Riad), good location! Would whole heartedly recommend
Couldn’t think of anything we didn’t like
If you’re someone like me who researches somewhere a thousand times before booking, stop the search here! This place lives up to the pictures and more. Once you’re inside it’s a quiet haven in the middle of Marrakech with all the tourist sites a maximum of 30 minutes walk away through the souks. We booked the standard room and it was so nice for two people. The hairdryer in the room is also really good, I didn’t bother using my travel one in the end. The lighting in the bathroom is great and there’s a mirror just about tall enough to see your outfit. They sorted our taxi from the airport which was really handy as we didn’t have to queue for one on arrival. As we arrived early evening, we had chicken tagine and desert at the hotel, and it was exactly what we needed after a long day of travelling. They offer a traditional Moroccan breakfast which we had three times during our stay and it differs slightly each time for some variety, but was equally just as good each time! They give you extra towels to have a dip in the pool (definitely recommend after a busy day of walking) and straw hats to keep you shaded from the harsh Moroccan sun. The terrace also gets sun late into the afternoon / early evening which was an added bonus. Unfortunately I became ill during our stay (food outside the riad) and it was like being looked after by mum and big brother. They also cooked dinner for my partner after finding out he hadn’t eaten all day as he was looking after me. Zakia and Ibrahim are the perfect hosts and nothing is too much trouble. Ibrahim also speaks perfect English so is always on hand to answer any questions or book things on your behalf.
Only 2 points of feedback I would give are: 1) the wardrobe - you can’t hang up dresses or trousers in there as the rail is at a low height, so it would be better to use hangers that also have something to fold these over. We hung a lot of our things on doors/hooks in the bathroom in the end. & 2) the only entry is through the main door that means a host always has to be available. Sometimes this can mean you wait for a few minutes, but honestly it’s a small price to pay given the extensive list of positives this riad has to offer.
The staff were exceptional. Very accommodating and got to wish us safe travels when we left very early in the morning. The riad was very clean. Breakfast was good. Overall we liked the riad. It was quiet.
Very good place for couples, small group or family. It was out of the madness of the main square and down an alley. So would be careful if alone trying to get back at night.
La struttura è molto bella. Le foto rispecchiano la realtà. Camera familiare ampia e pulita. Personale gentilissimo. Ibrahim ci ha dato buoni consigli ed è stato molto disponibile.
Tutto ok
L'accueil par la propriétaire qui nous a expliqué les détails de la rénovation très réussie. C'est un endroit très beau et calme tout en étant proche du souk. Le petit déjeuner est excellent. La literie très confortable.
We were looking for an authentic experience and that is what we got. The riad is located at the northern end of the souks, so, so plenty of shops. Our host was vey helpful and more than will to assist us with local travel and sightseeing. He made us feel welcome. Breakfast each morning was a treat.
The riad is not completely accessible by car, so we had a 5 minute walk to meet ground transportation. This is where our host was a tremendous help. Wished the bathroom was heated.
Eine kleine und schön marokkanisch eingerichtete Unterkunft. Einfacher Luxus. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit ohne aufdringlich zu sein. In 5-10 Gehminuten ist man mitten inder Medina oder bei Restaurants.
Im Winter wird alleine durch die Lüftung geheizt. Dies ist bei Temperaturen unter 10 Grad eher suboptimal. Und wenn man das Glück/Pech hat und während der wenigen Regentage da ist, dann kann man nur kalt duschen, da das Warmwasser per Solaranlage geheizt wird. Es ist jedoch Klagen auf sehr hohem Niveau.
Il riad è bellissimo, luminoso, elegante e curato in ogni minimo dettaglio. Ibrahim ci ha accolto con una tazza di the e dei dolci buonissimi e si è mostrato disponibile e attento in ogni momento del nostro soggiorno. Abbiamo cenato al Riad la nostra prima sera con delle prelibatezze tipiche e squisite e siamo riusciti a organizzare anche un Hammam privato nel piccolo hammam del Riad, un’esperienza bellissima. La colazione è meravigliosa e la vista sui tetti di Marrakech è incantevole. Il Riad è situato perfettamente essendo al centro della Medina ma leggermente appartato. Lo consiglio assolutamente
Very beautiful Riad, very nice staff, we had a great stay.
Riad Al Wifak is very nice, menager Ibrahim is soooo wonderful, he will help with anything. I will recommend Riad Al Wifak,breakfast is super Only it is far from any atrocious

Everything was ok
Location was great, so accessible to everything we needed. Ibrahim was so welcoming and provided everything we needed and more, amazing host and has made us want to come back another time.
There’s nothing not to like, it was the best stay we’ve ever had and best service we’ve ever experienced.
Le Riad est très bien situé, authentique, confortable, Ibrahim et ses collègues aux petits soins, le petit déjeuner au soleil, sur le toit, délicieux et différent chaque jour !

Jako lijepo dvoriste i smjestaj i jako ljubazan domacin koji nam je puno pomogao oko organizacije.
Ulica je teska za pronaci i nije dostupna autom
The service was just amazing!! The breakfast was delicious! And the location is super central
Era un paraíso en medio de la Medina . El Riad es precioso pero sobretodo lo mejor del Riad es Ibrahim, un encanto de chico que estaba pendientes de nosotras 24h ayudándonos en absolutamente todo. Un amor de niño. Repetiríamos sin dudarlo y lo recomendaríamos 200%
Nos gustó absolutamente todo
Tout
appena varcata la porta di ingresso ci si immerge nella tranquillità e bellezza del Riad. colazione punto forte, 3 giorni di soggiorno, 3 giorni di varietà e bontà. Ibrahim sempre disponibile e cordiale :)

Das Riad ist eine kleine Oase & Ibrahim ist ein super Gastgeber - wir haben uns wirklich sehr wohlgefühlt! Unser Zimmer war sehr schön, das Bett bequem und das Frühstück jeden Morgen auf der Dachterrasse perfekt. Zu Fuß ist man sehr schnell bei sämtlichen Restaurants.
La déco était très raffinée, très jolie. Le personnel au petit soin... Le petit déjeuner est délicieux, copieux, fait maison et varie chaque jour. Ce lieu est un véritable hâvre de paix, dans un calme absolu au cœur de la Medina.

Nous avons passé un superbe séjour au Riad Al Wifak. Le petit-déjeuner était très complet et la chambre très agréable. Le riad est situé à quelques minutes à pieds des souks. Le personnel est très accueillant et bienveillant, et notamment Brahim qui s’est occupé de nous servir avec beaucoup de gentillesse.
Un très beau Riad, familial. Nous avons séjourné 3 nuits. L’accueil et l’hospitalité tout était au top. Ibrahim était à nos petits soins tout le long de notre séjour. Toujours prêt à nous rendre service. Le Riad est impeccable, propre, décoré avec beaucoup de goût . La literie est très confortable. Le toit terrasse est très agréable avec ses banquettes et ses bougainvilliers. Petit déjeuner très copieux et différent chaque matin. Réservez sans hésitation.
