Nice Riad, a little out of the way. Quiet area. The proprietors are very nice. Made sure we got to the airport even though there was a problem with the transport. The in-house dinner was ok but you're better off going to the restaurant on Riad Larrouse Square a few blocks away.

No frills
Easy to find
Located in the Medina
Close to shopping stalls
Staff is helpful and speaks ok English
Tips - wear comfortable walking shoes not flip flops or Moroccan slippers and be prepared to haggle for everything! Especially watch out for anyone that acts like they are trying to be helpful. They will ask you for money afterwards and usually without really helping you. This is common in all of the cities in Morocco.

Traditional riad

Despite the property undergoing some renovations, i enjoyed my 3 night stay. It is located right in amongst the narrow streets and alley ways of the old centre. Easy walk down through the bazaars to the msin square. Be prepared for a walk through a maze abd its helpful to havd google maps! Staff were very friendly, breakfast fabulous and juddt an authentic experience.

The staff make this Riad, they can’t do enough for you. They made reservations for us, booked taxis, picked us up from the airport, walked us part way to our destination on one occasion as we were worried we’d get lost etc.
The rooms were cleaned daily and had everything you need including a proper hairdryer. Convenient location. Breakfast was great too.

Hi all,

My partner and I stayed here at the lovely Riad Haraka for 10 nights as a central base as we were hiking up Mount Toubkal. We were picked up at the airport promptly which was great because after reading other reviews about the location, we were slightly worried about getting lost. When the door opened, we were welcomed by a great guy who checked us in, took our bags to our room and served us tea on the terrace whilst chatting to us which was nice.

There was a slight issue on the first night. Our room we booked was double booked so we had to stay in another room. This wasn’t a major issue, the temporary room was nice for the 1 night and we moved rooms at 10am the next morning.

The Riad

This Riad is gorgeous. Love the décor and it’s so peaceful. They have a pet turtle and we fed him a few times on the terrace  Other guests were friendly. Staff were great. They took us in to Jema El Fena to show us the way which was nice. Breakfast was huge and tasty and served whenever you came down. Rooms and Riad extremely clean, always came back to a lovely made room with fresh towels etc. We had Tagine with them one lunch and it was very tasty and reasonably priced at 150dh pp. Sweet tea is a must, I loved it.

The room

We booked the Junior Suite. Great room!! Bed was fantastic, lovely décor and en-suite with a good shower etc. nothing I can say other than we loved it.

The location

It’s very true – you can get lost walking the streets. One thing I did was select a central

We arrived late to the city and they had a driver waiting for us in the train station, who took us to the hotel. once we arrived they gave us tea and explained us how to move in the city. The room was very nice decorated and clean. the breakfast was not buffet but it was very nice as well. the whole experience was great.

Beautiful Moroccan Riad

The hotel (Riad) was beautiful and tastefully decorated. Management were especially kind and accommodating. Breakfast was really nice.

Touts- Do not ask for directions from any young men on the street. If you do, they assume you want a guide and will follow you for as long as you allow and then demand money from you. The hotel is about a 20 minute walk to the souk and finding your way back is difficult at first. The only hassle free way to ask for directions is to ask a shopkeeper (as they are anchored to their shop) and will give directions freely and without obligation.

Would recommend

I traveled to Marrakech with a friend. The riad is located in the centre and we arrived really late so we felt a little unsafe on our way to the hotel but Cathy and the guys who worked there made us feel very welcome and safe. Best customer service I have received was in this riad! I would 100% recommend it, we really enjoyed our stay.

Amazing riad!

my husband and I stayed at the Riad during our stay in Morocco for our honeymoon. Upon arrival, we were both surprised at how narrow the roads were to get to our hotel and amazed at how cars were passing through it. The hotel was not exactly at the location on google maps, but was not far. You cannot reach the Riad by car but need to walk less than 5 minutes from a parking lot. Even though we arrived late at night, we were greeted by Said, Riad host, and amazing moroccan tea. He was very welcoming and showed us our room which we were so glad had AC because it is hot in Morocco! We both loved our experience in Morocco and at the Riad, the staff were always so nice and very helpful if we needed to go out to get water or food, they would accompany us since it is very easy to get lost in the square. The RIad is beautifully decorated and immerses you in the culture, we both wanted a more authentic experience than staying at a hotel and you get exactly that at the Riad. Having only 6 rooms, you can get to know the other guests and interact with the staff on a more personal level. They make you feel like old friends and like this is your home away from home as well. We would highly recommend the Riad to anyone planning a trip to Marrakech. The people were so welcoming and made sure our stay was amazing.

Worst stays ever. Unfriendly behaviour by Owner.

This was the most notorious neighborhoods I have ever stayed in my life in any country. Riad's are just homes converted to a hotel. The owner was a grumpy fellow and not friendly at all. Only cash and no credit card. The only saving grace was the morning breakfast. Not a friendly place to be in. The neighborhood sucks.

Al llegar la zona no está arreglada en cuanto a las calles o limpieza, pero es la apariencias general de la zona. Pero el riad en si y los trabajadores son maravillosos. Te dan la atención y facilidades que necesites.
Está a media hora andando hasta la plaza Fna, una delicia perderse entre sus callejones.

Tu hogar en Marrakech

Este Riad es un oasis de paz dentro de la medina. Aunque se encuentra algo retirado de la famosa plaza Jamma el Fna, en realidad está a un paseo de 15 minutos y se agradece estar en una zona algo más tranquila. Además está muy cerca de restaurantes de calidad.
Pero lo mejor de todo es el trato recibido en todo momento por Catia y su equipo, siempre dispuestos a facilitarnos la vida y hacernos sentir como en casa. Destacar también su cocina, de platos típicos marroquíes,es también muy recomendable.

Jolie petite terrasse au calme. Possibilité de repas le soir sur simple demande... Endroit calme et accueillant.

Riad acceuillant

Je recommande cet endroit qui possède toutes les qualités pour passer un bon moment à Marrakech : lieu agréable, personnel au petit soin et arrangeant, bonne situation, petit déjeuner bon et copieux, bonne literie. Les chambres sont un peu petites et donne directement sur le patio, ce qui manque un peu d'intimité quand on est en bas mais je pense que c'est typique des Riad. Au global ce fut quand même un très bon séjour.

Very hard to find with GPS and full of touts nearb

The hotel is not located where it shows on the map. We tried finding it with Google Maps, but weren't able to. Some touts got to us and we accepted their \"help\" because there was nothing we could do. They got us there but, of course, demanded money for it. Thankfully I only had a few coins in my wallet, and gave them about 22dh, which they were not at all happy about and kept asking for more. After we punched the hotel door a few times, the owner appeared and they vanished. The owner's wife said that she sent us a text, she didn't say what she wrote, but we didn't get it since we don't have mobile signal outside Brazil. They should send people emails instead.
The owner was nice and even spoke portuguese. But when we complained about the touts and the wrong location of the hotel on hotels.com, he completely ignored us, and seemed annoyed by our question, so we decided to let it go. We memorized the way to the hotel and thankfully didn't get lost again.
The shower head was broken, we had to hold it while taking a shower. There was only a shower curtain, so the bathroom floor got wet.
It is very hard to sleep past 7a.m., there was a lot of noise of plates and silverware being handled.
Breakfast is plain and the guy who serves it takes a long time to prepare it. We had to wait for over 20 minutes on our first day.
I would not stay there again and would not recommend to anyone going to Marrakech, there are many nicer hotels outside the medina with similar prices.
