I’m just back from another fantastic stay at Raid Cocoon This is my second time here and I just love the place. Big thanks to Osama and Jamal and of course Corinne for looking after me on my stay nothing was a problem to them anything I asked was attended to would highly recommend I stayed in the Nirvana suite which has the advantage of its own private terrace which is great for sun bathing which is fantastic. Place is impeccably clean and the two cleaning ladies are fantastic as well, will definitely be back again 😁

We loved our stay at Riad Cocoon! Corinne and her staff were really efficient, friendly and they went out of their way to help us plan any holiday activities in and around Marrakech. The Riad is a very restful and relaxing place, close to main areas of interest in Marrakech. Breakfast was fresh everyday and was very good quality and we had a very good evening meal at the Riad on a couple of days. Our room was air conditioned and was clean and comfortable.

We have just returned from a 5 night stay at Riad Cocoon. It is an oasis in the middle of the Medina, and I cannot praise it highly enough. The staff are all amazing. We dined at the riad on our first evening, and each dish was delicious. Special thanks must go to Corinne! There are several great restaurants and cafes within a few minutes walk too. We had a massage at the riad too, which was fantastic and very much needed after a long day in the souks! I would happily recommended Riad Cocoon to anyone visiting Marrakech.

The riad was nice, lots of character and conveniently located for the souks. The staff were really helpful and friendly and couldn't do enough for you. We started with a hamam spa and enjoyed the experience. (first time for both of us)
I found the mopeds around the medina were a hazard and the fumes were unpleasant. It took me a couple of days to relax as it was so full on.
We tried some roof top great restaurants, walked for miles and soaked up the vibrancy of Marrakech. Our hot air balloon trip was a highlight for both of us.
A trip to Marrakech has been on the bucket list for a long time, and I'm really glad we went.

Best Riad in Marrakech

We stayed here for 4-nights at the end of April during Ramadan and what a time we had. Corrine has an exceptional Riad just a 2-minute walk from being in the Medina, but you would think you’re nowhere near as it’s so peaceful. Everything about the stay was amazing and Corrine and the team make you feel at home and are able to help with everything. They provided us with excellent recommendations on places to eat, drink, and visit, which made our time in Marrakech much better. Jemaa was great and always able to help us with any questions and really made our stay at Riad Cocoon! He was always on hand to help with issues with our room, any questions we had about Marrakech or Morrocan culture and he made our stay much more interesting and relaxing. The food prepared by the riad is sensational, the breakfast each morning is incredible and the chef is amazing, and I would highly recommend having at least one meal at the riad as it provides much more authentic cuisine. All in all, would 100% visit Marrakech again and would not hesitate to stay at Riad Cocoon!!

Luxury Riad in central location; fantastic service

I stay in a lot of hotels for both business and pleasure, but very rarely have I stayed somewhere so welcoming as Riad Cocoon. The Riad itself is beautiful inside and is in a great location: you're right in the middle of the medina but as soon as you step inside the building you're instantly transported away from the hustle and bustle of the city outside. The roof terrace in particular was a very peaceful place to relax and I enjoyed a delicious meal there my first night. Corinne and her staff were very friendly without being in the least bit intrusive. Overall, I couldn't have asked for more and I hope to return next time I'm in Marrakech.

The name describes it perfectly - it is a perfect escape from the hustle of the Medina. From the warm welcome, the moment we left we felt like honoured guests. Our every want and need was anticipated and met. The food was outstanding and drinks and snacks appeared wherever we sat down. We enjoyed cooling off in the little pool. We found the beds a bit small and hard and the pillows didn't suit us very well, but were replaced on request. A delightful stay with wonderful staff.

Riad Cocoon- very attentive & comfortable Riad.

The service at Riad Cocoon was very good. The staff are very attentive to your needs and as a female solo traveler they checked in frequently to check I was doing okay and if I needed any help/ tips for restaurants and activities etc while visiting Marrakech. Corinne the owner is very professional and makes sure you are satisfied with your stay. They also accommodated a late pick up and check in when I arrived from the airport late. Definitely take advantage of ordering the airport transfer upon arrival as the Médina can be very confusing on your first visit. The only negative, if you could even call it that, is the rooster next door who gives you a nice early wake up call each morning if you are a light sleeper. Overall it was a great stay and I would recommend this road to friends and family.

Disingenuous host

Warmly greeted by our host ushered in for mint tea, then the hard sales pitch for activities began. We had already arranged multiple activities some months before our arrival which did not go down well with Corinne who proceeded to tell us we will have a terrible time and will probley regret not booking with her I'm guessing commission involved. Well I can tell you we had a sublime time on all our activities after all the research we did it's what we expected. The room was basic but disappointing simple errors tarnished the experience all the towel rails and hooks very loose in fact with little effort you can pull them out the wall!! Needles to say we avoided hanging anything on them which is most inconvenient. we stayed one night for diner on the delightful roof terrace, but after 40 minutes wait for drinks delightful don't cut it any more and since we where the only guests up there I'm at a lose for words. By this point we where looking forward to moving on to our next location raid cocoon in our rear mirror.

She has everything prepared for your visit and will personally ensure all your needs are met - dinner reservations, taxis, excursions, etc. The staff are very attentive and will make sure your stay is comfortable.

Tranquil riad with great service

Great, peaceful, and small spot in in the medina and close to souks and square but just a bit outside of the busiest parts. The service from Corine and Ali was great. They can help with all aspects of the trip, from airport transfer to excursions and of course directions around town and in the souks. We took the excursion that Corine conceived of herself that involved a small trek in the Atlas mountains and it was great. She even stopped by the train station to pick up tickets for us so that we could go on the excursion. The weather wasn't great when we were there, so we weren't able to take full advantage of the great terrace where meals and drinks are served when it's sunny and warm. The food is really good, so definitely recommend eating dinner there at least once. Would definitely stay there again.

Good stay in a nice cosy place. The owner was very friendly and helpful in helping us navigate the city during our stay. Her personalized attention and guidance is one of the key benefits in staying here. Rest, the rooms were to our expectation (nicely maintained, clean but the shower pressure is a bit low on the top floor) and the staff was super helpful. The food (lunch/ dinner) at the Riad is much more expensive than neighbouring specialized eating places, but I don't know if this is the general trend across Riads in Marrakesh. Would surely recommend this place for a stay.

PERFECT PLACE TO STAY, glad we chose Riad Cocoon

I have never posted a hotel review despite of all my travels with my wife. We have stayed at least in 15 different hotels in the past year throughout the world. However, Riad Cocoon simply deserves all my stars and an outstanding review. Me and my wife booked Cocoon for 3 nights, even before arriving there staff and Corinne, the wonderful owner, who closely supervises the place, knew our names and all of our needs. In fact, everything was personalized to fit our schedule; breakfast, dinner, massages - and allowed us flexibility. Corinne's suggestions allowed us to make the most of our short stay in Marrakech. On top, the room rate and spa pampering are very inexpensive given the personalized service they provide. By far one of the best places we have stayed when traveling and you should not look further if you want to have a pain-free trip to Marrakesh. Corinne took care of everything: from shuttle pick up to arranging a day trip to the Berber village, which is a must. Also, do not miss the opportunity to enjoy a great hamman and relaxation massage from the spa at Cocoon for a fair price. I could keep going and writing all the great things that made Riad Cocoon exceed our expectations, but if you are going to Marrakech you should stay there and see this with your own eyes. Thanks Riad Cocoon for making this a lifetime experience. Hope to see you all soon.

Cocoon amidst the Chaos

This was our first visit to Marrakech and we loathed it. No parts of the medina are pedestrianised and the general populace largely get around on 2 stroke engined mopeds. Whilst the constant worry of being run into is in itself stressful, the worse thing is the pollution - the air hangs blue with the fumes. I have slight asthma and found it really unpleasant. Another guest who was pregnant shared that she also was badly affected.
The medina is filthy, rubble, litter and general detritus everywhere. Many beggars, emaciated and badly treated donkeys pulling overloaded carts and colonies of feral cats. Youths follow you around trying to lead you to stores and telling you that the road ahead is closed. Just an assault on all the sensibilities.
The one jewel was the Riad Cocoon. We loved it and after 2 days, spent more time in the Riad than in further exploring Marrakech

The terrace was lovely and the staff was very amenable to all of our requests, including offering full cocktail service and dinner.

Didnt know what to expect from a riad but what we did get was exceptional. Staff were amazing and nothing was too much trouble. Everything i asked for from trips being organised, taxis being called and ice cool drinks on the roof was all catered for.Centre is very busy and the riad was 10 minute walk from centre or 3 minute taxi ride (taxis are cheap) and it felt like a welcome relief to get away from hustle and bustle and enjoy some tranquility. Trip to Atlas mountains was amazing and you can ask how long you want to trek for.Trek is at a steady pace and meeting berber family and having your meal cooked fir you was exceptional. I suggest a good scrub and massage when you get back to the riad to revinvorate yourself.

A lovely warm experience at Riad Cocoon with Corrine and her team. This is a lovely clean hotel set close enough to the medina but peacefully away too.

Everything was done to make our stay as special and relaxing as possible.The room (purple haze) was beautifully appointed and very clean and he in-house hammam and massage were well worth the expense.
The Riad is located very close to the soukhs but tucked away down a very unassuming side street. It felt like a hidden gem.
We only stayed for 2 days but coming back to the tranquil Riad in the evening after the bustle of the medina felt like coming home. We were very sorry to leave.

Great short break in central Marrakech

Spent a fantastic 4 day break in Marrakech. Early spring sunshine really made it along with a great hotel. The rooftop terrace was fantastic for breakfast and we had a good meal there on the evening that we arrived. We enjoyed bartering in the souks which were only 3 minutes walk away (although I suspect that the pros on the other side of the counter were better at it than we were). You should definitely visit the square at Jaama el Fna and get some refreshment at one of the rooftop terrace cafes (perhaps best at sunset). KosyBar was good for an evening drink looking out over a row of storks nests, and the Museum of Photography was well worth a visit. You should ignore directional advice from most of the local men who will tell you that the road ahead is blocked as it isn't (most of the time). The once in a while you will look a bit of a moron when you have to back track because you have gone down a cul de sac, but that's part of the joy when taken in good humour. All in all 10 out of 10 for a short break and only 3 hours flying time from London.

Great introduction to Marrakech

I booked this Riad based on the hotels.com and tripadvisor reviews. It was everything I expected and all of the other reviewers are spot on. The riad is very classy and home-y at the same time. Service was impeccable and all of the staff were extremely nice and accommodating. The owner, Corinne, in particular was very helpful. Being new to the city, she showed us how to navigate the streets and have the best time in the medina as possible. She showed us an app to download that was lifesaving for navigating the winding streets.

The food was also amazing, both for breakfast and dinner. The only knock is the distance from a main street to the riad. At night it can be a bit disconcerting to wander through the alleyways, but the same can be said about most riads in the medina.

It's a great location to walk from to see the souks and to get to the square where the nightlife is amazing. Corrine greeted us with Moroccan 'whisky', sweet mint tea, and spent time explaining what we could expect and how to react to the locals. We were made to feel incredibly welcome, shown our room then she took us on a personal walk around the streets to get our bearings. Our room was the smallest and cheapest but was perfectly comfortable and clean with en suite facilities. No TV or room for a table or chairs. There is a TV lounge downstairs however which was perfectly comfortable. We ate in the hotel on our first night, the food was lovely and the staff are always friendly and attentive. Nothing was too much trouble. Corrine recommended trips and even organised and booked everything that we wanted to do, again, nothing was too much trouble. Great hotel, great location.

Don't bother with anywhere else.

Great hotel, great location, great staff, great food. Don't waste your time shopping around. If you want to stay in a Riad in the heart of the medina, you will not find anywhere better.

A heavenly haven in a bustling city!

What lacked in weather was more than made up for by the warm welcome awaiting us at Riad Cocoon - a hidden gem around 10-15 minutes away from the main square.
After booking the hotel, Corinne texted me to ask for my email so she could send me more info about our stay. It was a pleasant surprise and showed me this was more than your typical accommodation. Corinne soon emailed us over options of what to do at the Riad - transfers/dinner/spa etc. We booked transfer through her as it was only £30 return .
On arrival, we were treated to traditional Moroccan treats, a welcome reprieve after a very early start. Corinne had an itinerary ready for us to make sure we didn't miss the must-see sights in a short trip. She even offered to show us around the area and how to get to the Square. She helped us download an app on our phones (which worked without wifi and data) so we would never get lost - and it was a godsend!
We had lunch at the hotel on our first day - a traditional lamb tagine - and it was one of the best dishes I had. This is a small Riad with a small staff team, all of whom were friendly and accommodating at all times, ALWAYS wearing a smile! Our room (Green Eyes) was amazing, just what we needed for a romantic birthday trip with rose petals everywhere, an iPod with LOTS of music!
I'd definitely recommend anyone to stay here and being the traveller that I am, I know that when I go back to Marrakech, I will be staying here again. And I look forward to it!

Fantastic staff

I can't rate the cocoon highly enough. From before the trip Corrine was in touch to arrange transfers and to make sure that our first night was stress free. Hassan, Tariq and all of the staff looked after us, even showing us through the souk on the first day. The accommodation is excellent, and the position in the medina is perfect. Go, you won't be dissapointed. Many thanks to Corinne and the team.

Very Relaxing & Friendly

After a hectic first 5 days in Morocco we arrived at Riad Cocoon feeling pretty bedraggled, however on entering the Riad, we were instantly uplifted and made to feel welcome by Corinne and her team. Some reviews complain it is very small, but the less people the better and you get a much more personal service. The waterfall wall is a beautiful touch and the Riad smelled like a spa throughout. I had a hammam with gommage & full body massage which was amazing and soothed away the aches and knots gained from the camel ride in the desert the previous day! The iPod dock in the room was a lovely touch, as you don’t always want a TV and the breakfast was the most delicious we received in any of our accommodation throughout Morocco. We only stayed 1 night as a stop over from the desert trip to Essouira, but we wish we had stayed longer – incentive to return for a long weekend! Thank you to Corrine & Tareq especially, for a lovely stay.

Our stay at the Riad was just wonderful. Corrine and her staff are fantastic, tour guides, cocktail makers, friends - just brilliant. The room was spotless, food was fantastic and location perfect. Can not recommend staying here highly enough.

Fantastic place to stay in the Medina

We loved our stay at Riad Cocoon in the Nivarna Suite. Corinne & her staff could not have done more to ensure our stay was comfortable. The tips & hints we were given proved very useful & the recommendations of places to eat were excellant (never had a bad meal in 5 mights). Definitely will be going back!

Great Host

Lovely riad with a great host who made you feel at home from the moment you arrived. Would recommend the airport transfer offered by the riad for a stress free start to your holiday.

Beautiful Riad

We stayed for three nights at Riad Cocoon and it couldn't have been better. The staff are amazing and Corinne was brilliant and gave us so much information about what to do and where to eat and where to avoid. We had a couples hammam and a massage at the Riad that were beyond relaxing and very well priced. The breakfast was amazing and we ate at the Riad on our first night and the food and wine were lovely. I would definitely recommend this Riad to anyone travelling to Marrakech, you will not regret it.
