Beautiful old riad right in the heart of medina Marrakech. Steps away from spectacular shopping and sight seeing. The courtyard is a peaceful relaxing oasis to rest up during the heat of the day. Room is beautiful and clean. Gorgeous lodgings and very friendly accommodating staff.

Location, terrace had a lovely view, service was the best we've had in our trips. The staff went above and beyond our needs and made our stay exceptional. We will definitely stay here again.

Krystal

Most of the staff was very friendly & helpful... it is a noisy, friendly Riad during the day. Quiet at night & I had a cozy room.

Syd

United States of America

I felt as if I were the Queen of Marrakesh in Riad Chorfa. Houssen and all the staff members treated us like family and attended to us as royalty. My friend's luggage got lost on our flight into Marrakesh and we drove Houssen crazy calling the airport looking for it and not one moment we felt a bit of recitation/unwilling from him to do so, always so helpful and pleasant, everyone there was. The Riad itself is cozy and going with a group of friends I can see myself not leaving the Riad and just hanging out in the many sofas, terraces they have throughout the property, and we did so a few night for the sunset. The Riad is well located in the medina, not to far in from where the car/taxi can drop you off. I will defiantly make my way back to Morocco and you will find me at Riad Chorfa again.

Wonderful interior, great location. My kids loved it and wanted to stay longer. Outstanding terrace. Really a special one of a kind place.

The property is located in old town Marrakech and is the perfect location for exploring Marrakech, Hamza and the Guys working at the Riad couldn’t have been nicer and more helpful. Absolute Gem!

The design of the hotel is brilliant! There are so many corners for photos. All staff were very nice and helpful. I love that they welcomed us with their Moroccan tea.

The riad is perfectly located, 5 min walking to the main square and close to several good restaurants. We stayed in 2 different rooms (both Suites, #10 and #1) since we went on a 2D/1N desert excursion in the middle of our stay. Room #10 had direct access to the Riad's rooftop, which was awesome. On the other hand, room #1 is the one behind the most beautiful door on the Riad's interior courtyard, that gave us access to the common areas where breakfast (complete and with very good options) was served. The staff is amazing and helped us arranging everything – from excursions, to transfers and even to a swimming pool (on a different Riad of the same group) on one of the hottest days of our stay. The rooms and the common areas were always perfectly clean.

Riad Chorfa - What can I say! They made sure everything was perfect from the minute we landed. The driver was knowledgeable, polite and got us to our Riad in no time. The Riad is also located conveniently to all the shopping area and square. From there our bags were carried to the Riad...we were welcomed with delicious cookies and mint tea and I had even had a surprise birthday cake. Our suite was beautiful and smelled amazing, it had rose petals and candles all over the room. The staff were so amazing, friendly and made us feel like family. Their food is also delicious and I can't think of anything that I needed or wanted that the staff didn't fulfill. My husband and I will definitely be staying here again on our next trip to Marrakech.

“Relaxing stay at Stylish Riad”
- • Business trip
- • Couple
- • Stayed 3 nights
The Air conditioner was barely working ... and it makes quite a big difference in summer as temperatures in Marrakesh are crazy high. AC was extremely old, it made these awful noises and kept leaking so it was very hard for us to have a good night of sleep even though the room and bed were quite nice.
The staff was very helpful and nice since the beginning (strongly recommend their airport transfer service, the car is great, driver is very nice also and they will get you to the riad much easier mainly if you are arriving late at night) , the riad was stylish and wonderfully decorated, the breakfast is very nice although it could be a bit more varied. They always had small activities prepared by the small "pool" as well as everything very clean. Their rooftop was one of the highlights it has this beautiful view of the city as well as these small stylish corners with sofas/ tanning beds where you can always get privacy and relax.
