Hotel arranged transfer from hotel. The guy who walked us from taxi to Riad wouldn't accept my 100 MAD tip and insisted I pay more. Being late at night, dark down alleyway we had no choice so 200 MAD it was as no smaller notes yet. Room was VERY small. Curtains were fraid. Bathroom is tiny. Major concern over safe in room. It's not electric, just a key which you hand in to reception when you leave for the day. Only had breakfast once and honestly wouldn't bother. Location wise it's very good. Reception staff we dealt with were friendly. Riad done. If I return to Marrakesh it will be to a hotel.

just off the souk.
We arrived just after Morocco had won their worid cup game,the roads were packed taxi was suck.After some time we got to the drop off point.a boy then had the bags and we followed(he was from the hotel).the hotel is clean well keep and the staff are helpful and courteous,yes its a bit scuffy on the edges, but we are in morocco and 3star. breakfast was continental,and we found it very good. by the way when you walk in the souk the bike has the right of way, they do not stop,try and get small notes 20,50,100 d,also you will need a e-sim for your phone.Idid not and got hit with a 50 pound bill for 20 mins,i got holafly at 4pound a day. the plunge pool was a good meeting point ti was 43 degrees.

Excellent experience
I’m shocked by some of the reviews for this Riad, I visited in December 2025 second time after staying in their sister hotel in the Atlas Mountains. I loved this Riad, food was fantastic, staff fantastic, location fantastic. I’m coming back next year and this is the only riad that I will stay in because I felt safe here ❤️❤️
Riad Africa - Hidden gem in Marrakech
Riad Africa an amazing hidden gem!! Although it is tucked away behind the main busy street and we did have a little trouble finding it initially, when we arrived the welcome from the staff was amazing! No hesitation to get us checked in early and a complimentary Moroccan tea and sweet bites upon our arrival. All the staff were very friendly and very helpful throughout our stay!
The two plunge pools were a welcome break from the heat of the city to cool off during the afternoon and a nice opportunity to relax and chat to the family and other guests! Both pools spotlessly clean and clean complimentary towels provided all day.
The room was an amazing traditional Moroccan space with large comfortable beds and very efficient air conditioning! Plenty of plug sockets and the bathroom was like a mini Roman spa with good quality toiletries and moisturisers provided and a lovely shower with plenty of hot water.
Breakfast was provided in the price which was great value and this was a mix of traditional Moroccan and continental selection and plenty of tea and coffee and juices.
All in all Road Africa is the perfect place to stay in Marrakesh, close enough to walk to all the tourist and cultural areas but away from the noise of the busy street markets. When we visit Marrakech again we will be booking again! Diolch 🫶
Pleasant stay
We had a very pleasant stay at Riad Africa as a group of 7.
The staff were friendly, helpful and very responsive throughout our stay. When we arrived, they gave us a tour of the riad and explained the facilities clearly, which made us feel very welcome.
I was especially impressed that a member of staff was still there to greet us when we returned at around 2am. Even before arriving in Morocco, I already had a very good impression of the team because they were always responsive and helpful when we communicated by email.
The location is excellent and very convenient for exploring Marrakech. You can easily access many of the main areas on foot. The riad itself is slightly hidden inside the small streets of the Medina, but we actually liked this because it meant there was much less noise from the busy streets outside.
One small point about breakfast is that it seemed there was only one round of hot coffee prepared. If you came down for breakfast around 8:30am, the coffee could already be quite cool. It would be better if fresh hot coffee could be topped up during the breakfast period.
Overall, we had a comfortable and enjoyable stay and would happily recommend Riad Africa to anyone visiting Marrakech.
