Riad Le Rihani

A beautiful riad with a truly authentic atmosphere. The long, narrow pool was perfect for cooling off after spending the day exploring the souks. The riad was wonderfully peaceful and intimate, not too large, which often made it feel as though you had the entire place to yourself. The rooms had a slightly more modern touch while still preserving the character and spirit of the riad. They were very comfortable, and the air conditioning was excellent — a real luxury after a hot day in Marrakech. Overall, a charming and relaxing place to stay.

Staff was absolutely great!

A beautifully restored riad in the heart of the medina — quiet, elegant, full of character. The location is ideal: everything is walkable, yet once inside, the noise of the city disappears completely. Breakfast was very good. Nadine was attentive and well-organized, handling transfers and practical details seamlessly.

Nothing worth mentioning.

Location in the Medina was close to the big Jamaa El Fna square and about a 5 minute walk from the taxi drop off point. The Riad was large, clean and well kept. The staff were excellent and very attentive offering lots of insider knowledge about places to visit, such as the 7-star La Mammounia hotel with beautiful gardens and few tourists. The room we had was comfortable with a large bed and nice shower. Breakfast was included and set us up well for the day. We hadn’t planned to eat more than once or twice during our5-day stay at the Riad but ended up dining there 4 times as the food was so good and affordable. The wines offered were good and many as full size or half size bottles. It was possible to have unfinished bottles stored for later, and we often finished the wine up on the roof terrace watching the sun set from comfortable sunbeds or tables. Having this large rooftop terrace was a big plus and something that not all Riad’s have. The Riad also had a wellness area (hammam) and a long narrow pool in the centre of the courtyard (48hrs notice to have it headed). We didn’t use the wellness facilities as the weather in March was good. I understand it to be a good option on a rainy day. We were there a week before the end of Ramadan but visitors should not be concerned about availability of food and drink in the city, which is very welcoming to tourists.

It did not really inconvenience us as we did not have a rental car but because the Riad is in the Medina, it is not possible to park a car on site. Taxis are affordable and Riad Le Rihani arranged airport transfers in and out for us including a member of staff assigned to take our luggage to the taxi pick up point 5 minutes away. So there was nothing we found a problem at this Riad.
