to get started.

The staff is extremely attentive. They truly take pride in their work, which is making sure you have an amazing time. Riad Vanilla is the perfect respite from the frenetic streets of Marrakech.

Erica, United States of America

Breakfast was delicious and the staff were so kind and helpful. I would recommend this place for anyone visiting Marrakech for the first time. Thanks again to all the staff for being so helpful and nice.

Jennifer, United States of America

The riad is wonderfully decorated, very confortable and super quiet. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We were provided with a map and detailed directions to the most important places to visit and best restaurants to have lunch and dine, which made our experience in Marrakech wonderful.

Filipe, Portugal

Everything was perfect - Nelly and her staff did an amazing job taking care of us. From the beginning we arrived very late off the train, we told them not to have dinner ready as we would be tired but when we arrived my very pregnant wife was starving and they didn't hesitate to make some food for her. This was just the beginning, the whole staff was extremely helpful and friendly throughout our stay. While some Riad's don't want kids, they welcomed our 2 year old boy and were glad to have us. Great place and I would highly recommend. - Also the hot tub on the roof is heavenly :)

Sean, Kenya

Ambience was excellent; perfect use of lighting. The decor was exceptional!

Michelle, United States of America

Paweł, Poland

The staff were amazing! They made this trip for us! Such incredible people who looked after us like kings! The Riad is also in a great location - 5 minutes walk to the Souk. We also had dinner in the Riad one evening and the food was great! The Jacuzzi on the roof was also amazing!!!

Nattiw, Netherlands

Gorgeous Riad. Great first-time in Marokko experience. Staff was top, we were looked after very well. Wonderful breakfast en very good beds. If you like the atmosphere of the Medina, this is a top location!

Yvonne, Netherlands

The staff are very nice and helpful. The location is hard to find but is in a quite neighborhood in the middle of the old medina. The place is intimate and relaxing. The breakfast was superb.

Mohamed, United Arab Emirates

The place is absolutely amazing. Everything was clean and the stuff was very friendly. This is very close to the main square in Marrakech

“Customer service was fantastic! Great location. Very easy to get around with welcoming and helpful staff.”

“I love this hotel. I honestly can't say enough about the lovely staff and how helpful they were. Our room was gorgeous. Bathrooms modern and the terrace is gorgeous. Very centrally located. Highly recommend this hotel. ”

Lizzy Graham

United States of America

“We loved riad vanilla!!! We came here on our honeymoon and it couldn't have been more perfect! They are the sweetest hosts in the world. So so welcoming and hospitable. Our flight was delayed FOUR hours and the driver waited for us until 4 in the morning with a sign and took us to the riad safe and sound. When we arrived, Aziz was waiting for us as well with some snacks and typical Moroccan mint tea which was delicious and very refreshing after a long day of travel. The next day, we were very sick from travel and post wedding and Aziz was so nice, he brought up some spices for our nasal congestion which helped a lot. Then he called the owner and he called us a touk touk to take us to the nearest pharmacy. Seriously. These are the nicest people in the world. I felt so at home and at ease. The breakfasts were so good. The Hammam was heavenly. I fell asleep and for hours after was on cloud 9. Overall and amazing trip and we already miss our staff! When leaving, Aziz packed us some snacks and some soaps with typical Moroccan scents and it was lovely. There were also 2 other sweet ladies (I forgot their name) who waited on us hand and foot. Absolutely amazing! The A/C works perfect also which was a plus. Oh and we loved our touk touk driver as well!!! He was so amazing and waited for us patiently everywhere and every day. Amazing place!! Congrats Riad Vanilla and thanks for a wonderful honeymoon!”

눉It is not easy to understand where the Riad is, as it is a small lettering on the door. Although it is very central, there is still a small walk in tighter streets which can make you get a bit lost. It is probably helpful to take the riad shuttle from the airport.
눇The riad is wonderfully decorated, very confortable and super quiet. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We were provided with a map and detailed directions to the most important places to visit and best restaurants to have lunch and dine, which made our experience in Marrakech wonderful.

눉The rooms didn't have showers - only baths which is not my preference. The Riad also does not have any really great indoor communal areas, so you are either in your room or on the roof. If it is cold, there is only the dining room.
