About Riad Explore
Opening to guests over the Christmas period in 2023, Riad Explore is one of the newest riads in Marrakech medina. Previously a Moroccan family home, it has been meticulously converted into a high-quality boutique riad guesthouse.
With 10 en-suite guest rooms, Riad Explore offers a high standard of comfort and is only 400m from the beating heart of Marrakech medina – Djemaa el Fna square.
Located in a safe and secure medina neighbourhood, guests have easy access to taxis, parking, a wide choice of restaurants, shops, and the famous medina souks!
The décor throughout Riad Explore is bright, white, and silver, with a touch of sepia in keeping with its theme of world exploration. More than 15 local artisans, each specialising in a different Moroccan craft, were used in the creation of the riad.

Ornate silver lanterns, elaborate plasterwork, Fez zillege, Saharan marble and tadelakt combine throughout, to expose an authentic and tranquil abode for today’s modern explorer.
Guest facilities include an indoor courtyard plunge pool, Moroccan salon (lounge), and two roof terraces (the high terrace has super views of the Atlas Mountains and Koutoubia minaret).
Riad Explore’s sister riad, Riad Africa, is only a few steps away - and a heated pool, spa, cooking school and roof-top bistro are available to guests staying at Riad Explore.
On the ground floor, around the courtyard and dipping pool, are 2 standard rooms (twin/double/triple or quads), a superior room (can sleep up to 5 guests) and a super cosy single (ideal for solo explorers who seek value and don’t mind a super small room).
On the first floor are 3 standard rooms (1 triple with a double and single bed or 3 singles; and 2 twin/double/triple or quad rooms); and a superior room (can sleep 5). On the second floor (terrace) are 2 twin or double standard rooms.
With a stay at Riad Explore, you'll be centrally located in Marrakech, just a 4-minute walk from Jemaa el-Fnaa and 11 minutes by foot from Koutoubia Mosque. This guesthouse is 0.6 mi (1 km) from Le Jardin Secret and 1.6 mi (2.6 km) from Avenue Mohamed VI.
Make yourself at home in one of the 10 guestrooms. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected. Conveniences include safes and desks, and housekeeping is provided daily. Featured amenities include dry cleaning/laundry services, a 24-hour front desk, and multilingual staff.

Shweta
Overall, terrible experience staying in this hotel. The Hotel does not have name on the door. There is no road access. Very hard to find the hotel.
Room was not for 4 people which we booked. 2 beds in the attic, even kids could not stand and sleep. They had to crawl to go to the bed. Very small and confine space for 2 beds in attic.
Staff was very unfriendly and had no sense of customer service.

Khurram
First and foremost, THE STAFF.!! Super friendly and super accommodating. Walid and his team are always there day and night to ensure that we have a comfortable and relaxing stay. He is also very knowledgable about the area. Very clean place and great location
Nicholina
Room was perfecy for a family of 5. Beautiful riad. House keeping daily. Friendly staff. Riad is in the perfect location.
Highly recommend and will stay there again.
Highly recommend and will stay there again.
Abdul Hakim
Great experience, best service from the person at front desk. Thanks for the great time.
Afan
Helpful staff, quiet, nice dipping feet pool, only 5 mins walk from main square, good breakfast included
Patrick
Great stay !
Riad explore staff is really friendly and we truly enjoyed our stay . Is hard finding a space for a family of 5 (upstairs bedroom just recommended for children not adults since ceiling is really low ) but the room was perfect for our family and to scape the heat . Breakfast was great they make delicious cappuccino’s and omelette.
Dominic
The Riad Explore is located right in the heart of the Medina in Marrakech. You are a 5 minute walk from Jemaa el-Fnaa, but you won't hear the noise from it. The rooms are impeccably cleaned daily and each room has all the amenities you would need. From the website, the room was EXACTLY as described and also matched the photo from their site.
The riad is very quiet (except from the guests themselves) and clean. It is very secure with cameras monitoring the front of the riad, the reception area and the public area, You are provided with a key to your room, but to enter the riad itself requires the front door being opened from riad staff. Since it is staffed 24/7 that is no problem. The A/C worked great but the TV service was wanting. But who cares about watching TV you have the Medina to watch!
Each morning, a free breakfast is served on the roof top from 8-10. They have a variety of breads and rolls, a couple juices and milk, various jams, meats and condiments, fruit and cereal. In addition, they could eggs to your preference and provide warm pancakes and bread.
I cannot thank the staff enough for my 10 day stay there. Ayaub and Lahgen went out of their way to ensure I had the best stay. From finding a place to buy bottled water at 2 AM to calling tour agencies to ensure my pick-up location, they were always happy to help and never asked to be compensated (but I did - numerous times).
My next trip to Morocco, I will not hesitate to stay here again!

Sarita
Amazing hospitality at Road Explore. Ayoub went out of his way preparing breakfast as well as preparing and bagging them for our early morning departure out of Marrakech.
Huseni
Very tiny rooms!!
We only stayed here for a night. We had the quadruple room. However the space felt very small and we were bumping into one another. Overall value for the money we spent was really good. However I feel there are other riads with bigger spaces that might be better options.
Santiago
Very nice people from the beginning to the end.. Breakfast was great…. I will definitely come back….
Luis
Good to experience a typical Moroccan Riad.
Floy
Beautiful place in yhe middle of shopping area.
Modar
We absolutely enjoyed staying at this property. Plenty of room for family of four great stuff clean Saif close to everything I would come back to this property and highly recommended.
Nasimul
Said they were 24 hour reception but arrived late and no one opened the door
Andrew
Quiet location off the main square by just a few minutes walk.
CORBIN
This new property is immaculately clean, safe, and comfortable. The young ladies working there were most cordial, and they served an amazing breakfast. Homza and Ali also provided excellent service and recommended many tourist sites along with providing an upgraded room! I highly recommend this Riad in Marrakech.
Diane
I only stood one night in a tourist condensed area. Riad is located among the alleys of merchant shops. The rias staff was available 24/7, attentive, and gracious. I was upgraded rooms from a single bed to a double, in a larger room, overlooking the patio. The place was very clean and hospitable. There is minor city noise. If you're a light sleeper, morning prayer will wake you around 4:30am it was nice though. Convenient location next to shops, dining, taxis, and atms
Omar
Even though the hotel is located within the Medina or the “old town” you can tell everything inside the hotel is new and modern. The staff is super hospitable making you feel right at home. The location is extremely convenient, 2 minute walk to the main square, or 2 minute walk to the streets for taxi services. Despite being very close to the main square, the hotel is really peaceful and quiet. Can’t recommend this place enough!!
Tamir
My recent stay at Riad Full Moon was nothing short of fantastic, largely thanks to the outstanding service provided by Ali and Hamza. Their genuine friendliness and helpfulness made my time there truly memorable. Additionally, the riad's location, was just a 5-minute walk from the main square, making it extremely convenient to get to anywhere. And to top it off, the buffet breakfast was a delicious start to each day. I highly recommend Riad Full Moon for its impeccable service, prime location, and the exceptional hospitality of all staff, especially Ali and Hamza.
Karen
We absolutely loved our experience at the Riad Explore. Perfectly located in the heart of of where you want to be...easy walking to souks, Jemaa el Fna, palaces etc. You are right there! All the rooms are named after famous people and are very Moroccan in decor. Great breakfast on the rooftop.
The staff was very helpful, fun and professional. We felt very safe. A little to find but so worth it and part of the charm of this sopecial place
