Riad Riad Maizie
95 Derb al Cadi, Azbezt, Medina, 40000 Marrakesh, Morocco – Great location - show map
This Riad is great value for money. It's not the best I've been to in terms of cleanliness and facilities but it was fairly comfortable. It is in the medina but not very close to Jamma el Fna. And if you feel a little apprehensive about poorly lit alleyways, you may feel a bit uncomfortable about getting back at night. But if you're OK with that (and I feel VERY SAFE in Marrakech) and you enjoy a good, unconventional conversation with a slightly eccentric and extremely intelligent young Englishman (the manager, Will), you'll have a really good time. I know I did and will go back again. Will does his best to improve the facilities and the experience for his guests and I'm sure he'll continue to improve the place in his own unique way.

A serene little riad nestled in a quiet corner of the medina. Aside from the spacious and well lit bedroom, it was beautifully decorated with taste and character. The small collection of books, the cozy seating area by the window, the lush vines (and a cheeky cat) peering through it really made us feel at home. Generous sized bathroom with lovely warm tones, and the hot water was working properly with good pressure. Overall, everything was in good order and it was one of the best riads during our 3 weeks trip. As for the host - Will, thank you so much for your awesome hospitality and for letting us cuddle your fluffy cat. Too bad we had to rush our check-out to catch the bus, otherwise we would have loved to chat more with you and enjoy the yummy breakfast. Definitely worth the price and would book again the next time we visit Marrakech, cheers!

The staff are very accomodating with everything that you are looking for. Breakfast is served at anytime that is convenient for the guest.

It was very nice to stay here: caring and friendly staff, calm and beautiful place, cozy room. By chance I spent good time reading on a roof terrace: there was a lovely collection of books in my room :-) Thank you very much!

Loved warm welcome with Moroccan tea and orange juice. Enjoyed the room with private bathroom, peaceful environment, cats and having breakfast on the sunny roof.

Talkative host, homely feel, very clean, delicious food and the orange blossoms in the courtyard smelt delightful. Other guests were interesting too.

Our flight arrived really late, but our host Will picked us up from the drop off point for the taxi, since a car can't drive to the riad. At first the streets are a bit confusing, which resulted in me probably accidentally trying to open two other houses with the key. Oops! The riad is conveniently close to the big square and the souks, only a few minutes away. While the place itself is really quiet. We only had breakfast after the first day, since we left really early the other days, but I told our host that we grabbed some jam from the fridge and that was all good. It was also perfectly fine that I made a really late dinner. During the evenings we talked with Will and the other guests while drinking mint tea (of course!). Accompanied by the cats living at the riad. The room was large and cleaned every day. The bed a bit short, according to my partner, but he is almost 2 meters tall.

I booked it for it’s looks but the gem is in the staff. I informed upon booking that I fell ill in my trip at the desert and arriving at night by bus. Will, the manager and the son of the owner, arranged for a taxi to pick me up at the bus station. He then met me where I got dropped off by the taxi, carried my backpack all the way to the riad, and fixed a hot lemon drink for me. I felt so grateful. Here, you won’t feel like an intruder or a hotel guest, but more like a friend staying with them. The vibe is homey and chilled. And the breakfast is indeed generous up in the charming roof terrace. The location is perfect for exploring the nearby tourist’s sights but really quiet. I woke up with the birds chirping away.

Breakfast served on the sunny roof terrace with a view to the souk. Lovely !

The location is great, it was really nice to come back to the peaceful, green, very well hidden Riad after a busy day walking around buzzing Médina and chill. Or what's even better to spend a blissful hour or so under the AC. Will is a great host, he definitely makes it feel like home. Breakfasts were really good.

The building was renovated by local Moroccan artisans employing Tadelakt, Zellig and carved arabesques. The renovation of the riad features heavily in the book 'Cinnamon City'. The Riad is situated in the heart of one of the oldest neighborhoods in Marrakech.
Hi, my name is Will and I have lived in the Red city, Marrakech for seven years. I am originally from London, England. My favorite past times are cycling, painting and sculpting. I love Marrakech for the vibrancy of the people, the theatrical nightlife and all those wonderful flavors.
The mosque at the neighboring Ben Salah square dates from 1331, making the surrounding neighborhoods the oldest in the city. Local attractions are the Souks, Medersa Ben Yusuf and Jemaa el Fnaa square. There is a plethora of great restaurants close by.
