Our stay at Riad Christina has been excellent. The riad itself has a beautiful and traditional decoration full of contrasts and colours. The rooms are medium big and bed very comfortable. We have slept like babies! And the breakfast is traditional and delicious. Be ready for that sweet! The stuff is super kind always with a smile, especially Ismael, his energy is contagious. Thank you so much for this beautiful stay. Thank you for opening your doors to us and taking care of every detail. I highly recommend this place when travelling to Marrakesh. Wish you all the best.

Lovely people, great value

I (female, 45) have just spent 4 nights at Road Christina with my son (16).

Everyone at the road was lovely and very helpful. We arranged for them to meet us at the airport with a private transfer (€20) and ordered from their menu for dinner on our first evening. It would be tricky to find the first time without being shown the way, so I definitely recommend a private transfer on arrival.

The dinner on our first night was excellent and we both thought the breakfasts were excellent, too. Really generous and we never managed to finish everything put out for breakfast, although my son gave it a good try!

They can arrange excursions for you or do them privately with the road. This wasn't within our budget, but if it's your first time in Marrakech then it would probably make life easier.

Everything was spotlessly clean.

Thank you all very much! Shukran!

Clean place. Hard to get too! Taxis do not come by this area so you have to walk with luggage to the middle of souk market. Very inconvenient. Staff was nice and helped us get back but charged me more than stated on Expedia. Not reliable prices. And inconvenient location . Didn’t feel much safe

As a solo female, arriving late at night I was a little apprehensive walking down the narrow streets to my Riad as transport cannot park anywhere near, but as I later found out, it is perfectly safe. As soon as you walk through the door at Riad Christina, you are wowed with it's charming, traditional décor and are greeted with mint tea. The staff are all lovely, welcoming and helpful with different degrees of English. My room was nicely decorated and had everything I needed. The breakfast was served on the roof terrace, it arrived promptly after sitting down and change a little each day and was enough to set you up for the day. It is conveniently situated within a 6 minute walk to the main Jemmaa el-Fnaa square but despite it's proximity, it is lovely and peaceful. I would recommend this little gem.

It began with them spending 15 minutes trying to sell me on devices I did not want despite repeatedly asking if I could just go to my room. It ended with them doing my laundry, but not actually drying my clothes and stiffing them all wet into my bag, and telling me they were done.

Stunning property, so close to the market, we would not consider staying anywhere else if we visit Marrakech again. Just a heads up, taxis can't drop off at the hotel, so they park and staff come to get you. Was not expecting the walk down the alleyways, turned out to be part of the charm, once we got an understanding of the area.

This was a lovely place to stay. Small friendly and very close to the centre.
When we first arrived we were a little concerned about the small dark alleys we were having to walk through but Hassan assured us we were safe and of course he was right. He also advised us where
to eat what to avoid to keep us well and how to haggle. The hotel also arranged a couple of private tours which were excellent.It was a great week Thankyou for

Great stay

My experience in Marrakech wouldn’t have been nearly as good if it wasn’t for my stay at this Riad. Hassan and team made me feel well looked after and provided me with great hospitality. I was picked up and dropped to the airport and they also helped me book an excursion in the desert. I was also served lovely food throughout my stay. I can’t complain at all about the service I had and would highly recommend people book this Riad.

Mustapha, Ismael, Hassan went out of their way to make us comfortable and make us feel like family. We were there when the earthquake happened 1 wk ago. The Riad remained intact. No one really knew what to do, but the Riad staff remained calm and tried to help people navigate, although no one had any information. I cannot say enough about the humanity of these men. We felt well cared for and not anonymous. Thank you

The only thing that I gotta note is the way to the Riad but even that is no problem, just book a transport via the Riad and they will bring you right in front of it.

My daughter and I spent 8 nights. It was a wonderful experience. Mustapha (spelling?) And everyone were lovely. They were friendly, hospitable and kind. They truly wanted you to feel comfortable and at home. Breakfast was lovely and tasty. We ate dinner at the Riad 3 times. It was delicious. Breakfast & dinner were presented beautifully. Getting use to navigating the narrow alley ways can be difficult. BEWARE of locals \"helping\" to find your way back. Most are looking for money. You will experiece this many times. BUT the riad is beautiful & a wonderful way to decompress. Highly recommend.

OUR EXPERIENCE WITHIN THIS RIAD WAS DEFINITELY AN INCREDIBLE AND WONDERFUL. WE GAVE THIS TRIP ONLY GIRLS AND WE WERE CELEBRATING MY BIRTHDAY. THESE PEOPLE AND THIS PLACE MADE MY BIRTHDAY THE BEST EVER.SINCE WE ARRIVED WE WERE TREATED AS IF WE WERE AT HOME, HASSAN WAS OUR HOST AT ALL TIMES. THEY LOOKED FOR US AT THE AIRPORT AND TAKEN US BACK ON OUR LAST DAY. SINCE WE ARRIVED SMAIL RECEIVED US WITH HIS TRADITIONAL TEA AND EVERY DAY WE WERE THERE THEY MADE IT MAGICAL. THIS PLACE LOOKS BEAUTIFUL IN PHOTOS BUT WHEN THEY ARRIVE IT IS MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN IT SEES. THEY HELPED US BOOK VARIOUS TOURS AND ALL OF THEM EXCEEDED OUR EXPECTATIONS AND MOST IMPORTANTLY FOR US, ALL OF THEM WERE VERY SAFE. BASICALLY WE TRUSTED OUR TRIP TO HASSAN AND HE ONLY SHOWED US THE BEST OF MARRAKESH. WITHOUT A DOUBT WE WILL COME BACK AND RETURN 100 MORE TIMES TO RIAD CHRISTINA. IF YOU HAVE PLANS TO VISIT MARRAKECH BOOK THE BALLOON TOUR AND THE DINNER IN THE DESERT THEY WERE SIMPLY WONDERFUL EXPERIENCES. THANK YOU HASSAN, SMAIL AND ALL THE TEAM AT RIAD CHRISTINA. SHUKRAN

Hotel needs to stay clear about the parking. It was very difficult to find the parking. Additional hotel pictures are deceiving. They only show the inside. They don’t show the views of the outside small street in which they are located. I’d never pay £80 for such small rooms

We can't recommend Riad Christina enough. From the airport pick up (which as others have said, is recommended as finding the Riad is tricky the first time!) to the way a
the team want you to feel at home throughout your stay, we felt very looked after and relaxed during our trip. Hassan helped us organise excursions and a Hamman experience which saved us time and were great, daily breakfast on the terrace was gorgeous, and we were even supplied with a bit of medicine and tea when my partner was unwell - which was above & beyond in terms of service. Hopefully we'll be back!

Staff was very welcoming. They arranged a taxi to the airport at a great rate. They made accommodations to serve us breakfast before their official start time due to an early flight. I will say It’s a bit challenging finding the Riad. There’s a lot of chaos to enter and exit. It’s located in a pretty hectic area and there are no signs to guide you. Once you there though your fine. Overall great stay given the price.

We only booked this hotel because we were late booking and it was one of the few available with a central location. The rooms were very disappointing with no care taken on small things that make a big difference. The bedsheets were rough and scratchy making it hard to sleep, a light socket hung off the wall on its wires, fluff balls were swept up but left on a table top near the room, the lighting was poor in our rooms with ripped lampshades, one of the panels in the door to my room was coming loose etc etc.
Compared to a riad we had stayed in a few days earlier that was further from the centre but a comparable price this was a real drop in standards. My friend couldn't get his room to lock properly and the staff opened all the windows to our rooms when we were out, after telling us our valuables would be safe in the rooms, so anyone could have easily accessed our rooms from the walkway by the windows and stolen things. Nothing was stolen but the lack of care and general poor quality were very surprising.

As other guests have mentioned, the Riad wasn't the easiest to find on arrival but the location close to Jemaa El Fna is excellent. Delicious, filling breakfast every morning and we suggest you book an evening meal at Riad Christina - beautiful and what an effort was made.

Authentic riad; excellent and honest managers

This was our 1st of 3 riads while in Morocco, and the wonderful manager and the chef set the standards for the others in terms of being reliable, honest and courteous. Moustapha would always ask us when we wanted meals and what we would like. Amina, the professionally trained chef (and his wife) made the best authentic dishes and always with dessert too!
The first night was a little crazy because the passageways were overcrowded, and it was dark and cold.We arrived quite late but our hosts saved us with their hospitality and warm food.
Someone was always in the riad to answer when we would return.

Accueil chaleureux de Samo toujours disponible pour nos questions et qui a su nous suggérer de belles excursions, Ayman discret et efficace. Tout le personnel est souriant et lumineux. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié les excellents petits déjeuners typiques pris sur la terrasse et préparés par les dames du Riad, avec chaque matin une nouveauté !
