I loved my stay at Riad Africa. The property is beautiful and located close to the main path in the souk. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They even gave me a free room upgrade. The room was lovely, comfortable, and the breakfast was tasty. I'd definitely recommend this location and would happily stay again when back in Marrakech!

The economy room is excruciatingly small and claustrophobic - pretty much a closet. This is not apparent in the pictures taken and when asking front desk to upgrade had to pay full price of the new room to get the upgrade - this is really unacceptable.

Travelling with another couple. They stayed at Riad Africa but we got bumped to Riad Explore 650 m up the souk and down another back alley. Had early flight. no way to sleep with the noise outside and inside. Pro tip: DO NOT BOOK ACCOMODATIONS IN THE MEDINA! Almost got mugged at 3 am trying to get our cab after clerk said he would walk us down but was no where to be found. Room was updated and nice but good luck sleeping with all the noise of dogs, cats, neighbors, motor cycles etc which does not stop at anytime. Very poor choice by us. Our fault for not knowing what we were doing.

Arrived to be told that the room I had booked was not available, and we were being put in there sister riad. At 1st I was not impressed . Once taken to the other riad I changed my mind. It was amazing, the room had everything that you wanted. Kettle, fridge, tea and coffee, smart tv and air-conditioning. Room was very clean. Only downside I can say is the shower was always cold. Breakfast was amazing and and the hosts were great, nothing was too much trouble. They even gave my wife and I a amazing evening dinner for the inconvenience. Would definitely stay here again.
