Our stay at Riad Cherrata was a Great experience. Location is very convenient, it’s very clean, amazing home made breakfast, all topped off by an incredible host, Valerie, who makes the stay very personal and special providing us with lots of information, a phone and arranged cars for us.

Valerie is an exceptionally attentive hostess. Location is convenient and quiet. Room was large, attractive and very clean (though with no outside-facing window - the one negative). Breakfasts were delicious and plentiful, and they generously accommodated special diets. Highly recommend this riad.

This beautiful riad is in the Médina (old town), easy walking distance to a miriad of restaurants, markets, palaces, and other sights. It is a little sanctuary within the bustle and excitement of Marrakech, and even has a rooftop lounge to relax, sun oneself, and view the city from the rooftops. Valerie, the host, went above and beyond – passing on so much local knowledge, and making sure we found our way around. We won’t hesitate to book at Riad Cherrata when we return to Marrakech.

A very special jewel.

My daughter and I stayed for 3 nights based a recommendation that it was good for female travellers and I could not agree more , we were excited but anxious as first timers to Marrakesh. . Valerie could not have been more hospitable. From booking, she made contact and offered help. She spent some time on arrival really explaining to first time Marrakesh visitors top tips in sights, getting around, taking taxis, and even gave us a phone in case we needed her or a taxi and a very useful ‘magic map’. Lovely Sedia is an amazing cook, her welcome tea and sweets to her pancakes and homemade jams were all delicious. ‘ I feel like a princess’ said my daughter. So did I. A very special place and Valeries’ tips and map meant we had a hassle free and terrific stay in this intoxicating city. Would unreservedly recommend this beautiful tranquil Riad.

Wonderful stay, you won’t be disappointed

Valerie and her guest services team were amazing! They went above and beyond what would be expected. Valerie provided us with thorough information on getting around Marrakech in a way that optimized our safety and fun. The bed was very comfortable and the Riad itself a quiet haven for restoration. Our laundry was able to be done same day, which was also hugely helpful. Breakfast was abundant and yummy.

They made me feel very at home and helped me with tour bookings, restaurant recommendations, airport pick ups etc. Moroccan style breakfast was also excellant. Could not recommend more highly.

Friendly, welcoming, perfect for female travelers.

My friend Nicola and I (2 women) travelled to Marrakech for 4 days. This Riad was perfectly setup for our every need/worry. Valerie and her team were very welcoming and ensured our stay went as smoothly as possible. The taxi pick up/drop off was all organised and on arrival we were welcomed with tea and snacks as she talked through the local amenities and directions. We were given a mobile (with credit) during our stay with useful numbers and her personal number for emergencies and queries (which was very useful when organising tours). The Riad/our room was beautiful and clean, with air-conditioning and useful things such as a safe, hairdryer, cotton buds etc. Last but not least, the breakfast was amazing... Homemade yoghurt and jams, local pastries and bread, pancakes, fruit and tea. I would definitely recommend this Riad and would without doubt stay here again if I go back :)

Amazing Riad

We really had an amazing stay at Riad Cherrata. Service is ultra friendly and generous. Valerie the owner gave us a great briefing on visiting Marrakech and it really helped us make the best out of our 3 days there. Sydia (not sure about the spelling) makes you feel at home and cooks amazing breakfasts (the bests we had in all our Morocan riads) Riad is very pretty, clean and comfortable. Terrace is cool with a great view on the city and Atlas mountains. Location is great, just a 5-10 minutes walking from central place and most sightings. Only minor thing we didn't like much is the fact that the toilets are not separated from main room. There is a small wall hiding it, and I guess some people don't mind this at all, but we were not too comfortable with the bathroom configuration. Other than this minor thing, we had an amazing stay and would definitely return. Highly recommended

Fabulous stay, beautiful riad, amazing staff

Loved this riad so much! The room is smart, simple and comfy with nice toiletries and linen. The view from the terrace is across the whole of Marrakech, across to the Koutoubia Mosque and beyond to the Atlas mountains. Breakfast is a fresh bread, fresh pancakes with home made jam, juice, tea and fruit. The lounge and breakfast area (inside at this time of year) is beautiful and comfy. But best of all is the service. Firstly from Valerie, the owner, with her hand drawn magic map and lengthy introduction to Marrakech. She was on hand throughout my stay (6 nights) to give suggestions and tips to make the best of my stay. Secondly from Sadia (apologies if the spelling is wrong) who greeted me and made tea for me when I returned late at night after a busy day or an evening meal - I don't speak a lot of French but somehow we always managed to understand each other and she was always cheerful and happy to help. The whole team were friendly and I was greeted every day and made to feel extremely welcome. I would definitely return here. The location can be a little tricky as it is in the medina which is a maze of streets. I wouldn't want to stay outside of the medina - this is the heart of Marrakech - but inevitably this means passing down streets which are small, quiet and occasionally a bit grubby. For me this is part of the experience but some travellers may not enjoy this. I should mention that I never felt threatened or unsafe. But it is not your sanitised European city!

very nice hotel in the old town of Marrakesh

The hotel is located very conveniently for those who would like to feel atmosphere of Medina (old town) of Marrakesh (situated at one of its narrow street). The staff (Valeria and the other ladies) were very friendly and helpful, introducing to us nature and the most interesting things of the city. Very remarkable thing were breakfasts, served individually and originated from Morocco's cuisine. I can really recommend the hotel, if you wish to experience real Marrakesh.

Lovely clean Riad

Riad is nice and central for visiting souks and Jemaa el Fnaa square. This was our first visit to Marrakech, the narrow street looked dirty and scary,so was glad to find the riad very clean and welcoming, there was no need to feel scared the people are friendly and children play out on the streets. The roof terrace was great with views to the snow topped Atlas Mountains and the roof tops of Jemaa el Fnaa square and beyond. Saadiya was on call 24/7 to open the door, make coffee, the beds and towels were changed daily, Isabella and Anne, who were friends of the owner came to welcome us and make sure every thing was ok, giving us tips about places to visit and how to travel around (as they both spoke English). French and Arabic are spoken and written on menus, English is not on menus. could not fault it. Hopefully will be back
