Riad Charaï

We stayed for 1 week at the Riad. There is nothing to complain about. The location was great, the food was delicious , the staff were friendly and very welcoming. We met Abdul, Said and Abdherham and they were the most friendliest persons you can imagine. They were very helpful and welcomed us with open arms. Although the Riad is located a little bit outside of the city center, it is still accessible by foot (around 25min walk). However if you want to visit the new city (Geliz) i would recommend to take an uber as it is quite far. Our stay was outside of the holiday season which was perfect as it was very calm and quiet throughout the whole stay. if you plan to go during holiday season keep in mind that it might get quickly full during breakfast. The Riad tried to offer different dishes during breakfast which was nice since we were able to try new traditional foods. The food on their menu during lunch and dinner was delicious, especially the lamb and chicken tajine and the chicken pasta 10/10. Our room was very clean , cleaning staff came by every morning to change the towels and to make our bed. They sometimes folded our clothes and kept everything tidy. I would recommend this Riad to everyone.

Honestly couldn’t have wished for a better stay. There are tons of riads and we searched far and wide After we booked it a few people had said they didn’t like the area which worried it but couldn’t be further from the truth - the area is great, very accessible for taxis and only a short walk to all the action. Felt very safe The Riad itself is absolutely stunning, even better than the photos. We liked to go out so it was easy to leave but you have everything you need there and more. It’s very chilled with lots of staff to make your stay special, not small but not big with only a few people so feels like your own special place - shout out to Farouk for making our stay special

The riad common area’s are beautiful and very traditional. Breakfast is basic and light. The area wasn’t great in my opinion. It’s located right beside the north wall of Marrakesh old town which is about a 20 minute walk from the Medina. This was mostly fine but we did encounter issues with local scammers threatening us to pay them after following us while walking home claiming to be ‘offering their time to direct us’. If this is your first time in Morocco and your not used to the common tricks these obnoxious hustlers do, then I would recommend staying closer to the medina (if you want the old town experience) or in proper hotel in the new town, as this is less likely to happen in the touristy areas from what I saw. Also, the hotel offer dinner on the first night through message after you book. As we arrived around dinner time we asked if they could prepare for us about 3 days before. When we arrived they didn’t know what we were talking about when we mentioned it. This was annoying as the riad doesn't have a make to order restaurant, you need to give them a lot of notice.
