The staff could not have been more helpful. They were good with a friend who had mobility issues which had not been anticipated before the holiday. The staff met us at the nearest point in the old part of the Medina to which a taxi can come and took our luggage. They were happy to book tables at busier restaurants and even show us walking routes. This Riad is lovely with an interesting history and a great collection of historic artefacts. We would strongly recommend it for any able bodied traveller as it has lots of stairs and quaint low doorways

A very hidden gem

The riad and the room were beautiful. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. And the food and coffee was excellent. My only negative was the location - its a trek down countless back-alleys and doesnt feel super safe walking alone at night, though it is well lit. Not something that can be changed - and they did send a porter to meet the vehicle and carry the bags - but something to be mindful of.

This is a glorious sprawling maze of a property with real character. You are yards from bustling streets, souks and the Jemaa el-Fnaa square of the old town, but inside the property the courtyards and rooftops are peaceful. The staff are extremely helpful and attentive.

Marrakesh oasis of calm

A fantastic place very close to the madness of the city providing a oasis of calm and quietness. Being built from 5 adjoining houses there are narrow corridors and staircases but that just adds to the character of the place. Central gardens dominate the spaces around the rooms with several lounge areas to relax in. A stunning roof top terrace provides extensive views ove the city and the Atlas mountains beyond. Service is exemplary and nothing too much trouble. Will certainly recommend and return.

First time in Morocco. Arrived at the airport as planned and the car arranged by the hotel was eagerly awaiting our arrival. Took us straight to hotel no fuss, This place was like the Tardis. First impression Looked small from outside but as you go in the hotel triples in size. Had a very friendly and informative host Khadija, Map given to us with a complimentary drink on arrival. the workers were also very friendly and would happily assist whenever asked and always offered to make a drink every time we went exploring the hotel. the room we stayed in was amazing and the WIFI also was great. It was also bang in the centre of the old Medina and the famous marketplace outside our door place. Everything around us was walking distance and if we needed to go further taxis were readily available. Thank you Khadija, Marwan and Badar for always being available to answer any questions and providing useful information about activities. Would highly recommend this place, And when I visit again In’Sha’Allah this is where I’ll be staying. Thank you for a great visit and experience.

Wonderful Riad right in the centre of the old town. Beautiful surroundings in a courtyard setting. Very comfortable and safe and super helpful. After having to do a 9 hr detour from the mountains, their porter came to take our luggage and take us there at 4 am in the morning. Definitely recommend this Riad.

Family trip to Marrakech

Though my family and I have traveled around the world, the search for a Riad felt very challenging due to many Riads not accepting children and lack of riads with rooms that could accomodate our family. We finally found Riyad El Cadi which had larger rooms (Ottoman Suite, Master Suite, Blue House) and decided to book given the great reviews. I can say without hesitation that this turned out to be a wonderful decision for our family. Riyad El Cadi is very well situated for navigating around the medina. It is impeccably clean and well-maintained. Service is top notch - we had a few hiccups due to things perhaps getting lost in translation, but anything we arranged through Julia or Khadijah was perfect. Lastly, they upgraded us to the Master Suite from the Ottoman suite and the size was perfect for our family of 5 (three children, 10, 7 and 2). We had our own private patio as well as a minibar and private rooftop terrace. If you are traveling to Marrakech with a family (or not), I cannot recommend this accomodation enough. Thank you, Julia, Khadijah, Karim, Said and everyone for making our stay so memorable that it feels like a delightful dream. The Khan family hopes to see you all again someday insha'Allah!

Experience real Moroccan hospitality.

Nothing was too much trouble for the staff of the Riyad El Cadi. The Riyad is situated directly in the middle of Marrakech right next to the bustling markets, it’s a great place to explore this amazingly interesting city. On arrival at the hotel rather late in the evening the Riyad provided us with a beautifully home cooked Moroccan meal which we ate in the lovely surrounding of the Riyads courtyard. The breakfasts on the roof terrace were also especially delightful.

Nice place, nice people working there. Rigth at the center, at the city, lovely roof area. Great breakfast But if you a not clear you are gonna get the expensive solution.

Bra hotell med med några brister

Hotellet var helt ok och vi trivdes i stort. Sängarna är lite för hårda och det var myror på golvet. Ett problem var att receptionen inte var helt flytande på engelska så en del blev "lost in translation" som t ex kostnaden för taxi som hotellet bokade och som blev dubbelt så dyr som förväntat. Det var dessutom oklart vid bokningen om frukost ingick eller ej och ingen upplysning gavs om vad kostnaden skulle bli. Det skulle de gärna kunnat vara tydligare med. Men överlag var personalen trevlig och tillmötesgående.
