My family and I (wife and 2 kids ages 11 and 8) had a very good time at Riad Fatuoma. This is a very traditional Moroccan accommodation that will allow you to have a full and real Moroccan experience. If you are expecting or are used to luxury or even Premier Inn-style accommodation, this is not the place for you. The accommodation is very modest, simple, and basic, but again, it provides you with an excellent experience of real Morocco (which is what many people are looking for when visiting Marrakech) at a very affordable price. The Riad is located in the old town, so get ready to walk around a labyrinth of narrow and very busy streets with high contrasts (i.e. some of them will be very touristy while others will show you the poor side of the city and its people). The area is very safe to walk at any time of the day. We had the full board. In the mornings, the breakfast was basic but tasty and traditional. For lunch and dinner, we had to tell in advance the host (Mohamed) what we wanted. These mainly consisted of Beef Tajin (a very traditional and tasty Moroccan dish), pizza, tacos and fish. Overall, the food was OK. There are plenty of stores, restaurants, corner stores, etc. around the Riad. It is located about 15-20 minutes walk to the medina, which we visited during the morning, afternoon and night as it presents three completely different faces. The only issue we had was that the room was extremely small for four people, we did not even have space where to put the suitcases, so we put them on the floor but then struggled to move around the room. We could not use the wardrobes either as the beds blocked their doors. I am not sure if the room was suitable for four people as advertised in Love Holidays. However, after a couple of days, we got used to this and just carried on well with our holiday. The toilet was of a good size but the water pressure was very poor. Also, the shower did not have a shower curtain so we had to be careful not to spill water throughout the entire bathroom. The room had air conditioning, which worked very well. The internet in the room was acceptable, although, after heavy rain, we found some issues with it. Overall, the room and in general the Riad were clean. One of the highlights of the stay was Mohamed, the Riad host, who was always there making sure that we had a pleasant time. He gave us his WhatsApp number so we communicated fast with him. He responded to all our requests very quickly and effectively. Overall, we would highly recommend Riad Fatuoma if you want to have an authentic Moroccan experience and if you are not fuzzy about modest accommodation.
