Riyad El Cadi

We stayed in the Ottoman Suite at Riyad El Cadi and was very impressed with the size and the level of sophistication with how it was decorated. It was gorgeous. There are two living room spaces along with a bedroom. We had lunch on our first day there, and it was delicious. They served it in the main courtyard which is lovely. A couple of the details I appreciated was that they left plenty of big bottles of water for us every day, and this was complimentary. The bath products which use argan oil were really nice, too! The staff were all very kind, welcoming, and warm. The breakfasts on the roof were good, and the atmosphere was just stunning. The only suggestion is that the riad offers a couple of options for breakfast. We ate the same thing every morning. All in all, we had a very memorable and special time in Marrakech and staying at Riyad El Cadi was a highlight!

A fantastic hotel and an oasis of calm. The hotel staff are very kind, professional and friendly. Nothing was too much for them. We were also given an upgrade to a suite free of charge and the breakfasts on the roof top were delicious. We will be returning very soon.

One big scam!! Watch out I have had two times dinner with my friend who stayed in that hotel. After four days he had to pay €450 for 4 nights as agreed, BUT €900,- for two times dinner with only 3 friends. €80 for some salads for example. Complete RIP off. Owner offered a free lunch If he might come back. Never ever go there!!!

Six riads merged into one, with interlinking corridors and beautiful courtyards the Riyad as another reviewer stated "is an oasis of calm" especially as it is so close to the surrounding Medina and the legendary Djemaa El Fna. The staff are wonderful, nothing is to much trouble, they are happy to book tours and recommend restaurants, they even escort you to restaurants as it is easy to get lost in the labyrinth of alleyways that is old Marrakech. Rooms are spacious and the majority have living room spaces as well. We had dinner at the Riyad whilst there, it is a set menu but was really tasty as was the local wine, all in a wonderful setting. The pro's of Riyad El Cadi far outweigh the cons. However there are some cons, the spacious rooms are hard to heat in Winter and can get cold. Breakfast is served on the rooftop, lovely maybe in Spring & Autumn drinking in the views, but cold in Winter and you sit there eating a lovely breakfast in a heavy sweater and coat. If you arrive after 1pm, the taxi is not allowed into Djemma El Fna and drops you off, and you are met by the hotel porter and you have a 10 minute walk to the Riyad. Would we stay at Riyad El Cadi when we return to Marrakech the answer is yes!

True hospitality. The Riyad is a beautiful building - actually a series of interconnected spaces around central courtyards, one with a plunge pool. Just a few minutes from the madness of the Medina you find incredible quiet. Our Tanger room was perfect, opening out onto small courtyards on both sides of us. The air is perfumed with the scent of citrus. Dining is an intimate experience whether in the evening on petal strewn tables or at breakfast on the roof terrace with the call to prayer and the sound of swifts echoing about us. A fabulous hotel and base but what shines out is the kindness of Khadija and her team.

One of the best hotel experience. The Riad is incredibly beautiful, location is just perfect and the staff welcomed us as if we were family. Big thank you to all the staff and especially Saïd and Karim. I recommand 200%.
