Breakfast was probably our highlight. Would have been nice to be asked wether we preferred tea or coffee, rather than serving us coffee which we both detest. Also, I could understand French and the key moment when my husband had returned in the hotel late ruined our stay. I was not going to use the services in offer more than what was expected, if you had let me in with the extra key. I just needed a bed to rest on after a day being away. Other than that please continue enjoying welcoming guests because it is a lovely place you have

Location is a bit awkward if you're on foot and not used to Marrakech traffic and the water pressure was very low. But the staff was perfect, room was amazing and everything else was perfect.

I would easily go back without a doubt

Nice room. Simple, clean. We loved the old doors and wrought iron fixtures. The place could use some updating. The bathroom smelled a bit off from the plumbing. The hot tub on the roof was cold. Our room could use some paint, shower tiles need to be redone. Nothing major but needs some sprucing up. The atmosphere was calm and quiet and it definitely gave offered fhe authentic feel we were looking for. The staff were lovely to deal with, very friendly and accommodating. The place is a bit tricky to find but that’s part of the adventure. It’s about a 10 minute walk to the nearest square, which isn’t bad, but watch out for traffic.

Highly recommended

The Riad La Porte Rouge was a fantastic hotel to stay at. Full of charm and personality.

The owner and his staff practically bent over backwards to ensure our stay was as comfortable as possible.

I found the room to be clean and a great size for me, my wife and son.

Due to the time of year we visited, the room was particularly cold at night. The air conditioning unit didn't help much but the Riad was kind enough to lend us their portable heater which helped to take the edge off a bit.

The water in the shower was also a bit temperamental and I ended up with a luke warm or colder than I'd like shower on one or two occassions.

Really not a deal breaker though.

The location was a very straightforward walk to the centre, it took about 30 - 35 minutes and was safe and pleasant so long as you watch out for motorbikes.

Overall, my family and I very much enjoyed staying at this Riad and would recommend it.

Estuvimos 3 noches en el Riad y no tuvimos ningún problema con nuestra habitación, la cama muy cómoda y contamos con todo lo necesario para nuestra estancia.

Mustafa fue el mejor anfitrión que el Riad puede tener, siempre muy atento y educado.

Lo único que podríamos recomendar es que se cobre o se recuerde al hacer el Check-in la cantidad a pagar por el impuesto de estancia ya que el último día horas antes de irnos al aeropuerto nos lo cobraron y ya no teníamos más efectivo y no aceptaban tarjeta para pagarlo.

Excellent service. Big rooms
Did not have card facilities when I had to pay for services after querying items in the bill. I had to set off in the dark in search of a cash point which was very stressful as I didn’t feel safe.
6 euros for a pot of mint tea is very steep when you can have full menus for that same price outside the property.
Despite advertising a pool it was not in use with tables and a flower pot clearly blocking access.
The advertised jacuzzi was neither hot or fully functioning (only 3 spouts worked) and parts of it were sharp to the touch cutting the skin when sitting on the tiles.
Nearly 30 minutes walk to the Medina but close to Badi Palace and Saadien Tombs.

The property itself is amazing. An authentic Moroccan experience. Hospitality exceeded expectations.
The only thing of concern was to find the property. My husband and I had our own car. Navigation brought us in the proximity of the property. But without the help of a local we would not have been able to find it. We had to park our car on the street( we were told it was safe). Then we had to walk with our luggage approximately 500 m through narrow passages to our hotel. This was an experience of its own , but I suggest that the property places some signs to be easily found. Bazaar around the property was noisy and dirty. Locals are friendly and helpful.

I loved everything about this Riad, it’s located near the Jma el fnaa, the souk, and the palace so it’s a beautiful location. The inside of this riad is magical, it’s super clean and the colours are beautiful. Our room was cleaned every day and the place was spotless. We woke up to a breakfast of Moroccan pancakes and jams, as well as coffee or tea. Loved it all! Wish we stayed longer!

Crafty and Unprofessional

Upon arrival the riad was disappointing. Cat was lounging in the waiting area on couch. I insisted on another room because the first was very inhospitable \"cold &damp\". I ask for another room and was granted a room up two flights of stairs. The second room was warmer but very little. For the price that each night cost I felt it was not worth a third of what was charged. I have no complaint about the food or dinners prepared, but helper name Mustafa was a very shady character. He talked about discounts on drinks and dinner but when I had paid for dinner for three nights at the beginning of my stay I was led to believe that all charges had been paid. But on the last night I was told I owed another 100 or more dollars by being charged for seltzer water which I was offered. He never said anthing about what it cost at the time I said I would have some with my dinner. The next night he just brought it to the table. Our Moroccan guide said Riad Le Porte Rogue was not worth the price that it charged and he wouldn't advise anyone to stay at it for 109 dollars a night and I agreed after staying there. After I question Mr. Mustafa about the charges he got very angry that night and the next morning he would not speak to us. He was very unprofessional and was not an accomodating person. I would not advise anyone to stay there and I know there are better and more pleasing Riads in Morocco.I will never spend money on this type of Riad again. IT WAS NOT WORTH IT AT ALL.

A gem of a place to stay in! Solo-female traveler here and I couldn't have found a better spot to stay in Marrakech. The staff in this Riad are really welcoming, kind, and helpful people. You can book many excursions with the hotel, hammams, and have amazing dinners! Mustafa will help you know the real prices, so please don't rush in buying anything! I felt at home in La Porte Rouge, the neighborhood is safe day and night and you are close to the Kings Palace! A good 15 min walk to the Medina. If I ever return, it will be here!

The first thing they tell you when you arrive is to make yourself at home and they actually mean it. The team there will go above and beyond to make sure you’re comfortable and enjoying your stay.

Besides the food, they also have a variety of excursions and tours for you to partake in (at a price, of course). In terms of location, it’s a 30 minute walk to the Medina.

I like to thank Jaleel, Mustapha, Fauzia for providing above and beyond customer service. The moment walking in the riad felt like your living in the real Morocco. The scenery of the riad is a wow experience. The place carries very peaceful and calm energy to relax. The rooms carry decorative design bringing fabulous moroccan accessories, painting to keep your eyes focused in the room. I appreciate Mustapha for always taking care me like am a part of his family. Jalil for always answering any of my concerns or complaints in a timely manner. Fauzia for always being welcoming, open about my room accommodation. Everyone in the riad worked as a team. Mustapha always had my breakfast ready by request for dietary reasons. The dinner tajine was amazing. Cooked very fresh no stomach upsets. I had eaten dinner three times at riad la Porte.

Seeing above that I was meant to receive a beverage credit, view, and upgrade it is disappointing that I did not. Overall, I liked the riad. It was decorated in a traditional style and was homey in its feel. There was a housecat who kept trying to jump on my lap. The staff was friendly but the older fellow, host and cook, wavered btwn grumpy and mildly friendly. His cooking was good, though, and I enjoyed the home cooked style meals. My room was very pretty and traditional, but I will say my bathroom had some issues (the shower drain was clogged and one of the shower faucet handles kept falling off and being brass hurt when it hit my foot). It was a solid base, and comforting as Marrakech with its busy streets, throngs of tourists, hawkers, & hustle can be overwhelming for visitors & a woman alone (me). The staff was helpful getting me drivers but I will warn you that I was quite overcharged for that as after the first stop I asked the driver to cancel the rest & drop me at the Yves St. Laurent St. and just get a ride back & was still charged for the whole day. I managed to get the down $10 at the end, but only with some serious discussion. $46 USD is too much anyway, but esp in my case. It is $2-4 for a taxi almost anywhere there. Just beware of being charged US/EU prices for things that are actually cheap here. Also bring cash for massages. The city in general made me feel a bit overcharged wherever they could, to be honest.

Excellent riad and perfect location!! It's on the edge of the Medina, so it's not loud like I would assume many others are.

The staff were very friendly and just kind and laid-back. I really appreciated them! Would DEFINITELY recommend this as a great, traditional place to stay. (the WIFI only works downstairs and the water is hot, but the pressure is a bit low, but that is how they all are)

I LOVE the decor and the resident cat. If you happen to be there on a Friday night, I'd highly recommend doing the folkloric night where they have traditional musicians come with dancing and a nice dinner.

Only thing that could be improved is the shuttle from the airport. Most of the other riads seem to arrange to hold up a sign with your name on it, but this one is confusing in that you have to exit and then go behind all the people waiting to find a tall banner with like 10 riads listed on it. (not the clearest thing to do when arriving super early/late at night).

The riad was very nice and authentic, however the rooms are in need of refurbishment. Firstly in the bathroom, there is a hole in the ceiling and therefore is a leak so water drips down on you. Secondly, in the shower, a lot of the tiles were cracked. Thirdly, the shower head was a broken and in need of replacement as it set off 2 separate streams. Also, I found a red stain on my towel which was unpleasant. The riad's location is not the best. The riad is located next to a nice mosque, however don't worry about over sleeping as you will probably be woken up early in the morning due to the call to prayer (mu'azzin) nearby. Otherwise, the hospitality was very nice.

Un Riad muy bonito, buen servicio, siempre limpio y muy atentos. Los desayunos podrían mejorar un poquito, y sería bueno informar que hay un gato como mascota dentro del Riad. En el Riad se puede usar la piscina, y me pareció que sería muy útil informar a los turistas el tipo de ropa que sugieran usar antes de llegar al Riad. El masaje en el Riad es algo que recomiendo, por un buen precio y muy relajante después de un largo día por La Médina e ideal antes de dormir. A nuestra salida ya habíamos agotado nuestro efectivo y solicitamos unas bebidas, las cuales no pudimos adquirir pues nos indicaron que sólo se podía pagar en efectivo, una mala despedida pues hacía mucho calor al esperar unas horas el taxi al aeropuerto. A pesar de un par de cosas que podrían mejorar, definitivamente me gustaría volver a hospedarme en este bonito y acogedor lugar.

The main square is a 20 min walk (of which 10 mins are already through a busy street with shops in the heart of the medina). It felt very safe and it was a nice walk back to the hotel.

This was our first time in Marrakesh staying at a Riad. After doing extensive research, we decided to book Riad La porte Rouge based on previous reviews and we weren't disappointed. As soon as we stepped in, our host Jalil made us felt like it was our home, greeted us with Moroccan Tea and gave us all the informations that we needed by explaining where to visit and marked everything for us on the map provided. He also planned our first day out with Ameen who was exceptionally great, nothing was too much for him when we were asking him all sorts of questions and to take us back to places. Jalil also planned our Hammam with another Riad and it was a great experience for all of us, in a different setting and we got to visit a different part of the city as well.

The food was exceptional at the Riad as we've had most our dinners there, full of flavours and different tagines everyday. I can't recommend the Riad enough to our friends here and we are already planning our next trip soon. Jalil, Ameen and Mo were awesome and please keep up the good work.

This place is amazing! Jalil was our host along with Max the riad cat and he (Jalil) was better than any hotel concierge! He knew all the places we wanted to go and booked all the excursions and restaurants and taxis he showed us the routes to take and recommended places to go too. We were upgraded when we arrived and the room was spacious and stunning! The air con certainly helped after arriving back from all day shopping and exploring. The riad is only a 10-15 minute walk to the main square. It’s a short taxi ride from the main souks that you always see online. There’s a jacuzzi (only half works) on the roof with sun beds and a pretty seating area in the shade a freezing cold pool in the reception area. Overall the riad is lovely! Looks questionable from the street however it’s a lovely little hideaway surprisingly quiet.

Overall, my first impression of La Porte rouge was disappointing firstly because our transfer wasn’t outside the terminal - instead he was out of the airport in a corner without any signage with our names or Riad name. The Riad was in a sketchy neighbourhood not close to the square or surrounding souks at least a 15-20 minute walk. The manager was rude and pushy and insisted we have our traditional dinner upon arrival which was at 10pm in the evening which was disappointing and unappetising. However , the female staff were very polite and friendly. Also bare in mind they prefer not to take credit card and charge a fee so have cash with you. Overall the Riad itself was pleasant with a nice rooftop and a standard breakfast however the service and location were lacking heavily.

Jelli and Mustafa of the hotel staff were some of the nicest people we met in Morocco and ensured we had a great time. The tagine we were served at dinner was possibly the best we had during our 5 day trip in Morocco and the breakfasts were delicious. Jelli sent out for fresh mint leaves to make us tea and arranged for a wonderful guide (can't remember name) who showed us around the souk without pressuring us at all, in stark contrast to our guide in Fes who was all about the commissions and skipped showing us some sights to get us to buy more. They also arranged for us to see the Fantasia show and dinner at Chez Ali which was a wonderful show. We were so impressed by the tranquil atmosphere they managed to create with a mosque and the crazy medina literally around the corner. Highly recommended!

Nicely decorated. Overall musky.
Staff service and food deplorable. On my second night I looked down from the balcony into the patio and saw that they served the same horrrrrible welcome food to the visitors without a menu choice.
Stale reheated food was breakfast.
I paid for seven nights and stayed 2 nights. Preferred to lose 5 nights of my non refundable money.

This was a beautiful Riyadh thats about 15 minute walk to main square. The staff was nice and i got the best massage in my life there. Seriously book their masseuse.
They really need to hire more people to keep the service quality. In mornings there is literally ONE person cooking breakfast, serving breakfast, doing checkouts, booking tours, hailing taxis, answering questions, replacing toiletries etc.
They need more staff

Attractive surroundings. Staff just like family and eager to please. Quiet at night apart from hearing the mosque chanting which was expected but did wake me up for the first five nights. We had a very pleasant day at Marrakech retreat organised by Riad La Porte Rouge. Was sad to leave and say goodbye to them.

The pictures of the property were probably a few years old and weren't reflective of the hotel now. The breakfasts were very poor, the room we had was cold, draughty with poor security and also very dark with no tea making facilities, TV and the toilet stopped flushing and needed fixing. As well, there was a shortage of hot water! The location wasn't the best either with most attractions some walk away.

Would highly recommend this riad. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Particular praise for Mustafa who went above and beyond. Located approx 20 minutes from main square, the walk in itself is an experience of the local culture. The riad is missing some of the usuals of a modern hotel like coffee in bedroom or swimming pool but its not a hotel, its a riad and a completely different experience. The wifi access was great. The communal lounge area was very comfortable and a lovely area to chat to other guests.

The stay at Riad La Porte Rouge was amazing. It was such a unique experience and one that we will not forget. This was our first time in Marrakech and we felt completely at home and welcomed by the staff. Mustafa was very caring and helped with any requests we had including booking the camel riding which was a great experience.

The breakfast and dinners were delicious and it took us around 15 minutes to walk to the Souks. All in all, we had a great time and would highly recommend this Riad to anyone looking to experience true Marrakech. Thanks again to the staff!!

Lovely hotel with really helpful staff who went above and beyond in their help and kindness. The location is a bit of a walk from the main areas and doesn't have many restaurants in the immediate vicinity but it was easy to pick up a petit taxi right outside, plus it is just a lovely place so we would still highly recommend it! The food was great and the staff organised us both a camel ride and a caleche ride so we hardly had to do anything! Fabulous holiday! Oh, and Max the cat was a great ambassador as well!

We loved our experience at La Porte Rouge. The staff is charming and very accommodating. Be sure to enjoy dinner there as well because the food is absolutely delicious. And be sure to have Abdul arrange for a guide. It’s well worth the small fee. If you’re looking for an authentic Moroccan guest house experience this is it.

Max the cat (and Sultan) was a pleasant feature each day. The staff answered questions and were attentive at breakfast and whenever help was required. The roof top patio would be very pleasant in the warmer months - quiet, isolated and full of sun...the streets can be noisy and polluted and this would be a respite. I was there in December, a colder time, and didn’t benefit from it. I recommend La Porte Rouge for anyone who has never been to Marrakech. It also has many small local vendors nearby and one the 10 minute walk to the Médina - so you can buy oranges, baked goods, grilled meat and others at local prices with being hassled or overcharged.

Beautifully located next to the Royal Palace; Riad La Porte Rouge provided us with the escape that we needed.

I would like to give a MASSIVE thank you to ABDUL for his excellent Customer Service skills and hospitality, the trip wouldn’t have been the same without the service he provided, he definitely deserves recognition for his hard work and hospitality to EVERY single guest that arrives at the hotel. All other staff members are extremely friendly too but Abdul certainly stood out as memorable staff member I would like to see again in future.

I highly recommend the dinner at the hotel as it is top quality and a VERY good portion
The breakfast is basic but extremely delicious.

The city centre is a 20 minute walk from the hotel and although the walk is not the best it’s over reasonably quicker than it seems once you get used to the route.

The rooftop terrace is wonderful for those days when you want to escape the city.

Say hello to Max the cat, and welcome him as much as he welcomes you, he is adorable!

TOP TIPS: Keep an eye on your hotel bill and book excursions (if you haven’t pre booked any). We spent two weeks in Marrakech and went for the two night desert excursion in addition to the excursions we had booked already of which I would highly recommend.

Once you are inside the Riad everything is spectacular. The staff is incredibly kind, the rooms are nice and have a great soul. And the Riad is impeccably clean. The area is a bit chaotic and we had a really hard time finding the Riad (first trip first day. We were not used to Marrakesh chaos) and we did not find the walk to Jemma El-fns easy at all...But once we were used to it it was fine. It’s a 20 min walk. Inside the Riad is complete peace, no idea how but you cannot hear anything from outside. Very nice Riad and good price.

Not sure how this place came so highly rated. Here are the issues:
Location: Not near Bahia Palace. Not really near anything. In a very sketchy neighborhood. The woman next to us at breakfast was complaining about feeling extremely uncomfortable in the area. When we asked the evening staff person for restaurant recommendations nearby, he said there are none and offered to make us a \"hotdog\".
Room: The room smelled musty and the shower was dirty and in poor condition. I know this place is relatively inexpensive, but we stayed at another Riad earlier in the week that was clean and near everything.
Staff: Night staff was relatively useless in helping us navigate the area.
Food: We only had the breakfast, which was good except for the orange juice that tasted like Sunny Dew.

We had never heard of a \"Riad\" and were eager to try one. When the taxi pulled up in front of some muddy, dilapidated buildings in the old medina, we panicked. However, after going down some small twisting lanes we arrived at this stunningly beautiful oasis. It was a perfect 3-day visit. The guests tend to eat dinner in the Riad's and the cooking was excellent. The staff, Mustafa, Abdul, Fatima, and Rashida could not have been nicer. And, there is a big orange tabby named \"Max\" that everyone loves! Amal, the masseuse was also fabulous. La Porte Rouge is heaven on earth.

Beautiful gem with great hosts and decor. The Riad as manned 24 hours and the staff are very friendly. They even fixed us up early morning coffee and cakes on the day of our excursion. It’s 15 mins walk away from the busy and congested Médina area. Ideal if you don’t like noise. I would go back again.

A great place to stay

Outside the hustle and bustle of the souks but in with the local population. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Will help to organise any trips but note these will be at a cost that you can better elsewhere.
A great Riad, an old family home giving you a true experience of Marrakech.
