Riad Maizie

Cool and quiet. Breakfast was great. Owner was very helpful. Contact the riad to get a taxi to the place.

A friend and i had a 3 night stay with Riad Maizie. Prior to the trip i booked an airport transfer directly with them, i am very glad i did. The taxi arranged was good and took us as close as possible to the riad. We were greated by Youssef at this point and shown the way, meaning we did not wonder around, like others we saw going to their riads after arrival looking quite stressed, trying to figure out which way to go. It is tucked away and would be forgiven for not finding your way back, drop a pin in the location and google maps will solve this issue for you and you can return with no issues, or just ask a friendly local for help. It is located within easy walking distact of most places but so quiet at night i could not believe it! The riad was clean and had all we needed. We opted for food on arrival, which was probably the best of the tagines we tried whilst there. Communicating was easy with very fast responses so we could have everything organised prior to arrival, including a meal. The breakfast was filling and the coffee plentiful and fresh. Shampoo, conditioner and shower gel there for your use. We had a lovely sofa to sit on outside our rooms to wind down in the evening. Anyone wanting to stay in a riad that is clean but feels authentic with great service, i recommend staying here. 2 women travelling alone, we never felt unsafe there or in Marrakech at all.

Once you are there, the size of it is more like a bed and breakfast. The host and help are excellent. The breakfast is good enough and the location is central. Good value.

Riad Maizie is impossible to find without maps.me but once inside it is a glorious oasis amidst the craziness of the hustle and bustle (and mopeds) outside. It has wonderful authentic decoration and is really beautiful inside. The rooms and bathrooms are kept spotlessly clean by Raja who also makes a lovely breakfast each morning of coffee, fresh oj, yoghurt, olives, cheese triangles, breads and jam. There's a downstairs courtyard, a roof terrace and a middle floor mezzanine, all are shady and a wonderful temperature out of direct sun. Will, the owner, is working hard at getting the Riad to it's very best and we wish him every success
