Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Riad jest w świetnej lokalizacji, idealnie by wpaść na szybki prysznic i odpoczynek w połowie zwiedzania. Śniadania były przepyszne, codziennie wieczorem już czekaliśmy na poranek na słonecznym patio. Personel bardzo miły i pomocny, pokój czysty i zadbany. Całym sercem polecamy!
Het personeel was heel vriendelijk. De Riad Tawkane op zich is ok. Netjes opgeknapt. Airconditioning in de kamer.
* De Locatie is vreselijk! We zijn vreselijk geschrokken van de vuile, vervallen omgeving. * Minimaal 700 meter lopen door smalle stoffige straten. * Er komen geen taxi's nog bussen bij de locatie. * Slepen met de koffers door de vieze straten. * Durfden niet in het donker terug te lopen naar Riad Tawkane. * Geen TV in de kamer/het gebouw. * Enige vermaak is het bed in de kamer. 😟 * Geen stoelen in de kamer. * De Riad staat in een woonwijk. Tot heel laat in de avond/nacht spelende kinderen vlak onder onze kamer ➡️ Heel veel lawaai! * Alle andere gasten, zijn tijdens ons verblijf 1 tot hooguit 4 dagen gebleven. Tijdens ons verblijf van 2 weken (veel te lang) waren we vaak helemaal alleen in het gebouw.
The stay was incredible 😊 The riad was very clean and comfortable. The girls who served breakfast were very friendly and helpful 🥰 We really enjoyed the breakfast! The transfers with Mohammed were great too. Thank you for sharing a little bit of Morocco with us. We will always remember them 🤍
Struttura molto pulita e curata. Ogni giorno ci cambiavano gli asciugamani e, su richiesta, anche le lenzuola. La colazione è ottima e il personale è stato sempre cortese, disponibile e davvero bravissimo. La struttura è molto carina e in una posizione strategica, centrale e vicina ai vari mercati, a circa 15 minuti dalla Medina. Per quanto riguarda la posizione, non possiamo assolutamente lamentarci: davvero top! Un ringraziamento speciale anche al proprietario, sempre disponibile e gentilissimo. Siamo rimasti in contatto tramite Booking per qualsiasi esigenza e si è sempre dimostrato presente e pronto ad aiutarci. Siamo stati davvero bene e consigliamo assolutamente questa struttura!
Pobyt w Riadzie Tawkane był rewelacyjny. Piękny wystrój, wszystko niezwykle czyste, zadbane. Najwspanialsza była jednak obsługa - niezwykle pomocna i sympatyczna. Polecam gorąco!
Le personnel bienveillant, respectueux et attentifs
L’emplacement
Excellente chambre comme sur les photos. Les personnes sont chaleureuses à l’arrivée et prête à aider.
Quand on loue un riad c'est qu'on a une envie d'être confronté au quotidien des habitants sans chercher le confort d'un hôtel qui propose tous les services avec une belle façade. Ici, le riad donne directement dans les ruelles. On est au coeur de la vie des habitants. Le personnel est très accueillant, sympatique et à l'écoute (Ayoub). Petit déjeuner au top en terrasse. La chambre et salle de bain : comme sur les photos. Chambre bien décorée. Navette depuis l'aéroport organisée à la demande. Bon rapport qualité prix. Nous avons séjourné 1 semaine, 2 adultes et 2 ados (deux chambres).
Un petit plus serait peut-être un frigo.
Миниатюрный и очень красивый и уютный риад. Если бы я снова оказалась в Марракеше, то без сомнения снова остановилась бы здесь. Красота помещения в каждой детали, удобная кровать, чистота. Находится в Медине, но в тихой ее части, где нет никакого шума и сомнительных элементов. Самое роскошное здание Марракеша - Медресе Бен Юсефа в одной минуте ходьбы и любой выход в центр проходит через неё, что делает каждую прогулку нарядной. Меня встречал Ayoub. Все подробно рассказал о городе и его особенностях, всегда был на связи и не оставил без внимания ни одной просьбы (даже помог купить билеты в музей, тк моя карта не работает). Исключительный сервис. Спасибо за гостеприимство !
Really great location and lovely staff. The riad was authentic.
The room didn't have much natural light.
Alojamiento muy limpio y cuidado, buen desayuno y personal amable. Viajaba sola y mi vuelo salía muy temprano. No tenia como llegar al aeropuerto ya que no contraté con antelación el transporte privado, pero Ayoub me acompañó a buscar un taxi. Se agradece mucho en una ciudad que no conoces.
Nada.
The concierge, Ayoub, was extremely helpful giving me key locations in my map to check out! Loved his recommmedations and his eagerness to ensure I was taken care of
The shower sprayed onto the bathroom floor
I really appreciated the excellent service and the kindness of the staff. Everyone was very welcoming, helpful, and friendly.
Honestly, I didn’t find anything I didn’t like. Everything was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, and the price was also very reasonable. Overall, everything was great.
Acogedor y local. Lo mejor sin duda el trato con el personal, en especial Ayoub. Este trabajador tiene un buen nivel de inglés que permite comunicarte fluidamente, muy recomendado en un país que solo hablan árabe y francés. Estuvo volcado, preocupado por nosotros, y ayudándonos durante toda la estancia cono si fuese nuestro propio guía. Las otras dos chicas del Riad también fueron super amables, y sus desayunos eran increíbles, se les veía muy trabajadoras, pero por la barrera del idioma nos comunicamos poco.
Le ponemos un 10, nos encantó.
“A beautiful property in an amazing location. Ayoub and Aisha were always incredibly kind and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it.”
A lovely riad with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The hosts were incredibly friendly, the room was spotless, and the breakfast was fantastic. Highly recommended if you’re visiting Marrakech
El alojamiento tiene una estupenda relación calidad precio, todo estaba perfecto, es pequeño pero acogedor y tienes todo lo que necesitas.
One of the best places I’ve stayed in Marrakech. The riad is exceptionally clean, peaceful, and comfortable, with beautiful Moroccan décor that creates a truly authentic atmosphere. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive, helping us with everything from the moment we arrived. Breakfast was fresh and delicious every morning, and the location is perfect—right in the heart of the Medina, close to the main attractions while still offering a quiet and relaxing environment. I highly recommend Riad Tawkane to anyone visiting Marrakech and looking for a comfortable, clean, and welcoming place to stay. I will definitely choose it again on my next visit.
We loved our stay at Riad Tawkane! Friendly staff, a relaxing atmosphere, tasty breakfast, and excellent service from start to finish. A great choice for anyone visiting Marrakech.
Ήταν πολύ ευγενικό το προσωπικό και εξυπηρετικό και ήταν κεντρικά ώστε να υπάρχει πρόσβαση άμεση σε τοποθεσίες.
Δεν υπήρχε επαρκείς ηχομόνωση στο δωμάτιο.
El personal que nos atendió para el servicio de desayuno y limpieza, eran encantadoras y muy dispuestas a todo tipo de ayuda.
Estaba todo perfecto, las instalaciones muy cuidadas, magnífica limpieza, las camas muy cómodas y un desayuno riquísimo y abundante. Nos hospedamos 5 personas y hemos estado encantados, totalmente recomendable.
Beautiful riad with a warm atmosphere. The staff were attentive and helpful throughout our stay. Highly recommended!”
Très bel hôtel et bon petit dej. Belle déco Excentré de la place ( 10 min apied)
Tout était bien
The highlight of our trip was staying here. Warm hospitality, excellent service, and a truly authentic Moroccan experience.
We had a wonderful stay at Riad Tawkane. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the room was clean and comfortable, and the breakfast was delicious . The riad has a warm and relaxing atmosphere, making it the perfect place to stay in Marrakech. Thank you for your hospitality😊
De host was super vriendelijk en zorgde ervoor dat we bv het ontbijt een half uurtje vroeger kregen. Het bed was heel goed en de lakens enorm zacht.
De kamer is vrij klein en je hebt weinig ruimte voor je bagage
Excellent stay at Riad Tawkane! Friendly staff, clean and comfortable rooms, delicious breakfast, and a great location. Thank you for your warm hospitality. Highly recommended
We had a wonderful stay at Riad Tawkane. The staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, and always ready to help. The riad was clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated, creating a peaceful atmosphere. The breakfast was fresh and delicious in the morning, and the location was perfect for exploring Marrakech. Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable—we would happily return and highly recommend this riad to other travelers.”
Il Riad è in una posizione comodissima. Bello, pulito e con un’ottima colazione. Il proprietario è simpaticissimo e gentile, parla molto bene inglese e ci ha dato diversi consigli per muoverci nella Medina.
Everything 🥰 Ayoub,Aisha and the rest of the staff are all good,caring and loving people. They took care of me and my daughter and made us feel safe and comfortable. The assisted us from the time we check in up to when we check out. They arranged our transportation to and from the airport. ❤️❤️❤️
None
La colazione era preparata fresca ogni mattina ed è stata uno degli aspetti migliori del soggiorno. Un ringraziamento particolare alle due signore addette, sempre molto gentili, disponibili e attente alle esigenze degli ospiti. Buono anche il sistema di aria condizionata, che ha funzionato efficacemente durante tutta la permanenza. L'acqua calda era sempre disponibile.
La camera assegnata, situata al piano terra, era piuttosto piccola e poco confortevole. Mancavano grucce per appendere gli abiti e una sedia o un appoggio per sistemare i propri effetti personali. Il tappeto risultava molto sporco e il piumino sul letto era eccessivamente pesante e non adatto alle temperature del periodo. Anche la biancheria da bagno appariva piuttosto usurata. Il bagno necessiterebbe di una migliore manutenzione: i rubinetti sono vecchi e rendono difficile regolare correttamente la temperatura dell'acqua. L'aspetto più negativo del soggiorno è stata però la presenza di blatte in camera, un problema che dovrebbe essere affrontato con urgenza. Nel complesso, la cordialità del personale e la buona colazione non sono riuscite a compensare alcune carenze importanti in termini di pulizia, manutenzione e comfort della camera
The room was clean and the bed very comfortable. The Riad is in a very quiet location of the Madina far away from the busy part
Nothing
The riad is well designed, comfortable and clean. The staff, Ayoub, Aicha and Safaa were very welcoming and kind. We found the riad to be in the perfect location for exploring the medina. Would definitely recommend staying here, it had everything we needed and is good value for money.
Riad caratteristici sul centro storico .
Purtroppo Internet nella zona non funziona quindi un po difficile da raggiungere senza un aiuto
Estaba limpio, las camas super cómodas. Limpias y dos almohadones para elegir. El personal super amable.
The host was very welcoming, breakfast was amazing and the riad was beautiful
Riad v centru Mediny, docházková vzdálenost k trhu, na náměstí. Snídaně se podává na terase, za nás byla dostačující a moc dobrá. Pan majitel je velmi příjemný a umí dobře anglicky.
V pokoji je velká vlhkost, byli jsme v pokoji v přízemí. A také byl slyšet hluk z okolních pokojů
Goede ontvangst, lekker ontbijt, goed bed.
Moeilijk te vinden maar host is beschikbaar
Magnifique petit riad, calme, merci beaucoup à Safa, Haïcha et Taoufiq un personnel vraiment aux petits soins pour nous, je recommande vraiment 😍😊
La posizione della struttura ottima, molto pulita e dentro del Riad era veramente molto tranquillo!
Pulizia, accoglienza, gentilezza e disponibilità del personale hanno reso il nostro soggiorno molto confortevole. Attente alle esigenze senza glutine per la colazione
Un piccolo gioiello nascosto nel cuore della Medina di Marrakech. Arrivarci è parte dell’esperienza: il contrasto con ciò che si vede intorno è fortissimo, quasi spiazzante, ma appena si apre la porta del Riad sembra di entrare in un altro mondo. Un luogo curato con amore, silenzioso, autentico e incredibilmente pulito. Le camere non sono grandi, ma sono dei veri bijoux: bellissime, accoglienti, con bagni impeccabili e un’atmosfera che ti fa sentire subito a casa. Il Riad ha poche stanze e questo rende tutto ancora più intimo e speciale. Un ringraziamento speciale ad Aicha e Safae, due ragazze meravigliose che ogni mattina preparano una colazione deliziosa, genuina e ricca di cose fatte in casa. La spremuta d’arancia fresca è indimenticabile, così come il tè marocchino servito con grande gentilezza anche nel pomeriggio. Il proprietario,Taouifiq, è una persona davvero cordiale e attenta: ama conoscere i suoi ospiti e riesce a creare un’atmosfera calda e familiare rara da trovare. Io me ne sono innamorata. Più che un soggiorno, è stata un’esperienza. Un posto autentico dove tornerei subito
Niente
Location - it is really convenient for visiting anything in the old part of the city! it is a bit sketchy to get to the riad (but then again, it's like that in whole Morocco :D ), but luckily, the staff is there if needed! Breakfast - it was really tasty, especially the strawberry jam!!! Rooms - they were quite comfortable, the bathroom is a bit different from what we are used to, but it really gives to the traditional vibe Rooftop - best part of the riad! it's so nice to sit there in the morning and evening! Staff - they walked us to/from the taxis when we needed transport, everyone was so nice, and special props to Aisha! Would stay here again for sure!

Really good location within walking distance of most attractions "The staff... incredible, friendly, genuine, always helpful, kind... brilliant. The place was spotlessly clean, super comfortable, stylish
This was our second stay at Riad tawkane and it was just as amazing as the first. The location is perfect, not too far from the square and there are restaurants near by. The Riad is beautiful as are all the staff. Ayoub is the perfect host, he makes your stay hassle free and is always on hand to help. Highly recommended.
Much a beautiful stay in a great location! Ayoub was an amazing host who was super helpful with lots of information. Definitely recommend!!
"Beautiful Riad in the perfect location. Staff were always friendly and incredibly helpful. Lovely big breakfast included. We had a wonderful time!"
Sorprendida, me gustó muchísimo el alojamiento. Todo en muy buen estado, muy limpio y muy serviciales. Es tal cual las fotos. Cama, almohadas y nórdico súper cómodos!! También tiene aire acondicionado. El Riad es precioso.
Beyond expectations ! Best riad I’ve spend time in ✨ All the staff is amazing, helpful, and make everything feel easy! Thank you so so much Ayoub 🙏🏼 The bed is super comfortable, the terrace is lovely with different levels to enjoy a panoramic view of Marrakech. Oh and the decor and smells are absolutely marvelous! Highly recommend it !
Nothing :)
Nuestro anfitrión Ayoub muy amable, pendiente siempre, dispuesto a dar recomendaciones, casi todas las tarde te recibe en el Riad para saber como estuvo tu día. Se sirve un desayuno muy rico, las chicas muy amables también. El lugar muy limpio, super cómodo muy cerca de la medina y de los puntos de recogida para los tours.
Bardzo pomocna i miła obsługa. Ładny i czysty pokój. Dobra lokalizacja, blisko mediny - wszędzie chodziliśmy pieszo. Polecam skorzystać z oferty taksówki proponowanej przez obiekt, aby nie mieć problemu z trafieniem - nie można podjechać pod drzwi a lokalizacja jest dość nieoczywista.
Bardzo mały pokój. Brak możliwości podjechania pod sam obiekt.
La gentillesse et la disponibilité des hôtes
La chambre single est très mignonne mais vraiment très petite . Il n'y a pas d'endroit où poser ses bagages . Ils auraient pu gagner de l'espace pour cette chambre en empiétant sur le pourtour ( balcon ) du 1er étage . Ainsi il y aurait eu une mini alcôve pour poser les bagages ouverts et se servir directement dedans
La propreté, Bon petit déjeuner, La terrasse disponible sur les toits, L'organisation du transfert aéroport, La situation dans la médina mais très calme.
Rien
We werden heel vriendelijk ontvangen en konden zelfs vroeger op de dag in onze kamer terecht. De kamer was mooi en eenvoudig ingericht, netjes en voorzien van een gezellige badkamer. Het ontbijt was eenvoudig. Op de tweede ochtend moesten we al vertrekken voor het ontbijt geserveerd zou worden. We kregen een tasje met cake en bekers versgeperst appelsiensap mee.
The staff were friendly and helpful. The location was great in a quiet area. Rooms nicely decorated. Very good, substantial breakfast.
Superior Double Room was far too small for us…measurements listed NOT correct…felt very cramped. Hard for two people to move around with our luggage. No hooks to hang things.
Ontbijt was goed. Personeel super vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Prima locatie
Douche was niet erg goed water werd snel koud. Geen kast.
Ontbijt was lekker, kamers schoon en het personeel wil je overal mee helpen
.
Great location, great breakfast, but the best thing was the advice and help Ayoub gave us in organizing our days.
Very little soundproofing in the rooms. You can hear all the noises coming from the entrance, so bring earplugs!!
Een prachtige Riad midden in de Medina dichtbij de bezienswaardigheden. Het heerlijke ontbijt werd geserveerd op het dakterras. Aanrader !!
Riad propre et au calme
Même si le Riad est au calme au niveau de la ville, vous entendrez tout le voisinage qui entre et sort pendant la nuit, comme ce fut le cas de jeunes qui sont rentrés à 4h du matin pour continuer leur soirée, il faut donc des boules quies, c'est l'inconvénient de ne pas avoir de fenêtres
Bon petit déjeuner sauf le café
Nous avions une chambre sous la terrasse. Les pieds des chaises sur la terrasses ne sont pas équilibrées, ce qui fait qu’au moindre mouvement de la personne assise dessus, cela fait énormément de bruit qui est également entendu depuis la chambre du 1er étage. Les occupants des autres chambres étaient très bruyants, à 2 h, 4h et minuit. Aucune intervention du gardien de nuit alors qu’ il était présent sur 2 nuits. Nous avons dû intervenir pour demander moins de bruit. Les chambres sont très étroites. Rien pour poser les valises dans une des chambres. Pas de cintres dans cette même chambre. Difficile de régler la température de l’eau de la douche, soit brûlante soit froide. L’eau déborde du bac à douche. Pas de bouteille d’eau dans la chambre
Muito limpo, confortável e pequeno almoço excelente e funcionários super atenciosos!
Profumata, pulita, accogliente. Colazione deliziosa ed abbondante, preparata ogni mattina per noi dalle signore dello staff. Il vero gioiello di questo Riad è Ayub, sempre presente, disponibile a tutte le ore, del giorno e della notte. È stato il valore aggiunto di questo soggiorno, grazie Ayub, per i tuoi consigli, la tua simpatia e la tua estrema gentilezza!
Ottima posizione, peccato per la stradina di accesso alla struttura priva di luce e a tratti fatiscente. Rispetta però i canoni marocchini.
Fijne plek, lieve mensen. Straal van de douche is echt heel zacht en ook geen handdouche wat echt heel ambetant was. Veel uitlaatgassen van brommers zodra je de raam open zet. Ontbijt niet zo uitgebreid.
La ubicación, lo bonito que era y la amabilidad de ayoub. La terraza muy bonita para el desayuno Es un Riad muy lindo, las habitaciones son muy pequeñas y resulta incómodo o difícil abrir maletas y prepararse
Por decir algo, todos los días nos sirvieron huevos en el desayuno y el último día nos dijeron que no.
Klimat, estetyczne wnętrze, wygodny twardy materac, czysta pościel, miły host i obsługa, smaczne śniadanie
Bardzo mało miejsca w pokoju i łazience, nieróżnorodne śniadania, fajnie jakby obsługa uprzedziła że to normalna praktyka oddać klucze na prywatnym parkingu, na który nas skierowali (nie wiedzieliśmy czy to scam)
Laccueil, le service et la tres grande disponibilite et bienveillance de lequipe vous rassure des votre arrivee et vous vous sentez comme chez vous. Par ailleurs les lits sont vraiment confortables et les ghambres sont faits tous les jours ainsi que le changement des serviettes!
A ameliiorer 2ou3 ceintres pour suspendre les pulls par exempleseraient acceptables un miroir dans la chambre car la douche est faiblement eclairee et relever le rebords de douche pour que leau ne setale pas dans toute la douche cela evite davoir tout le temps les pieds mouilles ! L emplacement est un peu plus eloigne de la place avoir un bon gps car il ny a pas de panneau dindication et difficile a trouver en soiree!
I stayed at this riad for 3 nights and overall had a very pleasant experience. The riad is quite small, with only a few rooms, which gives it a peaceful atmosphere. Everything was very clean, new, and tastefully decorated, and there is also a lovely rooftop terrace to relax on. The breakfasts were very good and nicely prepared, although adding some vegetables would make them even better. The staff were extremely kind, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything.
The riad is located in a quiet alley, which is great for avoiding the noise of the medina. However, the immediate surroundings are not very attractive, and taxis cannot reach the door, so you need to walk about 5 minutes from the nearest accessible point. The location is still very convenient, only about a 5-minute walk to the Ben Youssef Madrasa and around 15–20 minutes to the main square.
Lovely riad, tucked away in a quiet corner. The rooms, although small, were clean and smelt fresh with daily cleans. Also, private en suites that were pretty in itself. Breakfast was nice and served as you sat on the beautiful roof top. A total sun trap. All staff were friendly and happy. Making us feel at home.
