Riad Tarba & spa

If you are looking for a TRUE Riad experience, this place is for you. Set in the Old town, you will experience everything you see in the movies and more. The staff is warm, friendly and eager to help. At breakfast you are greeted by bees, which can be overwhelming, but a beautiful delight as they will not bite you unless swatted and provoked. The rooms are cozy. If you need extra room in a bed, I would suggest you opt for couples room, as the bed is bigger. The area around the Riad is very traditional and if you are coming from a major city, it may be intimidating and feel unsafe, but we had no problems walking at night. It was great to be « in the mix » and see the vibrant culture and people. Again this is the Old Town, and it is VERY animated and alive. We didn’t eat at the Riad, so I can offer no opinion on the food. My niece got an in-house massage and was very pleased. Be prepared to walk, bring comfortable shoes. All in all we enjoyed our experience and the Riad was a solid 4+ for its accessibility and connection to and in the Old Town.

Finding the property in the dark was a little challenging but once we located it we were delighted in the interior. Unfortunately the surroundings were not great but you have to remember where you are! Vehicles other an motorbikes are unable to take you straight to the riad so you have about a 10 min walk from the nearest road. Our room was lovely, spacious and clean, the bed was really comfortable and the aircon was a welcome bonus. The staff are polite, friendly and very helpful, nothing was too much trouble for any of them. We enjoyed our breakfasts which put us on for the remainder of the day. The property which was located about 2 mins from the small shops and 15 mins walk to the main square. All in all a good budget friendly place to stay when visiting Marrakech.

Quality stayb

The room was small but clean. The staff were friendly and courteous. I booked at a reasonable price because of its location, but was charged extra “tax” of $50 USD when we arrived. Btw, the location is so far off the beaten path that you cannot take a taxi or car to the Riad. Expect to walk a while with your luggage. They “complimentary” booked a taxi to take us to the airport but charged us $26 to take the taxi there. Overall, if you can, do a little more research than me. We were desperate and limited on time.
