A wonderful stay at Riad Africa!
A wonderful stay at Riad Africa!
We had a fantastic stay at Riad Africa. The hotel was clean, the location was great, and the facilities were very good. It was lovely to have somewhere peaceful and quiet to return to after a busy day exploring, away from the hustle and bustle. The swimming pool was a real bonus and perfect for cooling off after a hot day sightseeing.
All the staff were absolutely amazing and couldn’t do enough to help us. They made us feel so welcome, comfortable and safe throughout our stay. A special mention to the reception staff, who were fantastic and had so much knowledge of the local area, always happy to offer advice and recommendations.
We genuinely couldn’t fault our experience and would highly recommend Riad Africa to anyone visiting. We would definitely return in the future!
Riad was great value for money, breakfast was just what you would expect. We enjoyed it on the roof terrace. There is also an area for sunbathing which was very private.
Thank you to all the team for making our stay so enjoyable.
Nice stay!
Riad Africa was a nice stay! Perfect location, short walk to the main square and the main souks! Bed was comfy, room was clean! The breakfast could have been a little better. The food was a little cold, so would have been a bit nicer if it was warm, and would have been nice to have a bit more variation. The tea and juice were lovely. The staff were lovely too! Overall, nice stay!

Wedding Anniversary
We visited Marrakech together to celebrate our Wedding Anniversary. What an amazing cultural city with so much to offer. This is a lovely small authentic Riad, close to the Square and the Souks. We were welcomed with Mint Tea on arrival, which was a nice touch, especially as it was so hot. The lovely Manager paid a tip to the man with the luggage on our behalf until we could get small change, when we asked for Ice he popped down the shop! He and his staff were always so helpful when giving us tips for local places to eat. We booked a Superior River Room and were lucky to be upgraded to a Junior Suite, Rose Petals included for our special day. Ask for fresh cooked Omelettes at breakfast, they are very good! I would recommend this as a good 3 star central option

Nice but not 4 star
Whilst the Riad Africa has a feel of authenticity, it does lack some polish on the final product. We had a room next to the reception on the ground floor which was very noisy late in the evening and early morning when people were checking out or leaving on excursions. The room was clean and reasonably comfortable. The breakfast was a little disappointing, lacking fresh fruit and much variety. The location is excellent if a bit tricky to find on arrival. Staff were very helpful. We did not use the spa and did not see anyone else use it. It was not that inviting.

Good Location
The location is very good. 10 mins max to walk to Jemaa el-Fnaa and the souks. Basically you can walk everywhere from and to the hotel even the train station. I booked for the cheapest room but they seem to upgrade me to their standard room which is good. No replacement of new coffee&tea or tissue from housekeeping. Staffs are ok to good. Breakfast is a bit limited but its Morocco standard.
