Riad Al Badia

Felt like a second home. We traveled with a toddler. The staff is very nice and helpfull. Room was cleaned very well and daily. The only point of improvement is the humidity in the room. It felt very high.

This is a very well kept and beautiful traditional riad within walking distance to the main squares and markets. Each of the rooms has the name of a local palace and when you enter, they have the right size, natural light, are super clean and comfy. The breakfast was delicious, the right start for the day. For our last evening, we booked in advance, dinner at the hotel, this was a unique and exquisite experience. Lastly and for us the most important, the staff were very friendly and caring, specially Yousef, who made our stay unique, he gave us great indications and tips, organised excursions to the Atlas and was always available.

Aside from a mix up with the airport transfer when we landed, we had an excellent stay at Riad Al Badia. Youssef and his team were excellent hosts. We received a fantastic service including breakfast each morning and would highly recommend the evening meal at the Riad as well. Definitely recommend this to anyone looking to visit Marrakesh. Great location and value for money.

The staff was super friendly and treated my wife and I like family. They arranged transportation, day trips, a wonderful welcome dinner and scrumptious homemade breakfast every morning. Our room was cleaned daily and it was a great retreat from the hustle and bustle of the Medina. We want to especially thank our wonderful hosts once again for a fantastic time in Marrakech and the surrounding areas. I also would like to thank Kareem who was provided by the Riad as our driver for our day trips. He was an absolute pleasure and made each trip special by going out of his way to have us experience Morocco at its heart.. I don’t believe we could have enjoyed our time without this amazing team. We will definitely be back, if nothing else than to visit our new family from Marrakech!

We booked this property for our first trip to Marrakech based on someone telling us that staying in a Riad was the way to go for first timers. The host maintained communication with us prior to our trip and arranged for us to be picked up from the airport which was convenient. We were picked up in a large comfortable van and brought to the location. We got out and had a walk to the actual property. We were a little taken aback by the location and we’re wary about staying there just because it didn’t look appealing from the street. Once we went in we were greeted by very hospitable ladies with tea. We arrived early and they were able to get us into our room within 30 minutes. Our entire trip they were extremely hospitable and told us how to get around and what to do while staying in Marrakech. I would totally recommend staying here, don’t let the outside fool you. It’s a short walk to the Medina and souks. Plenty of restaurant options close by.

Staff were very good, even though slight issues with language barrier. Property moderately clean but everything feels a touch unloved. Bed was comfortable, had air conditioning. Location was about 20 minutes to the main square. If you require a twin room youll be on top floor which is 34 steps to climb

This was my first visit to Marrakesh and I had no idea what to expect. The busy nature of Marrakesh hits you as you get out of the airport. When I arrived at the Riad Al Badia, which is only about 20mins from the airport, it was in a residential neighbourhood. I was not sure what to expect. The moment the door opened, I saw the beaming smile of Youssef, I knew this was going to be a great stay. My hotel room was on the top floor, terrace area. I fell in love with the whole concept of a Riad style place to stay. If I could, I would live in one! The Riad Al Badia is a charming place, very comfortable to stay. Nothing beats the warmth of the staff who were always so pleased to serve you. The location is so well placed for you to explore the souks and the main attraction of Jemma el-Fnna. There is a nice local shop as you make your way to the Riad, which sells water and a few essentials that you may want. The location is safe and convenient. The main thing to keep in mind is that this is a Riad, not a hotel. These are family homes that have been converted for tourists. Breakfast was fantastic. I left full every morning, not needing to eat until much later in the day. At the time of my stay, we had other guests from the USA, UK, France, China and Spain. When I get a chance to revisit Marrakesh, I will be staying here again.

No the location that I was expecting but the staff was nice and very helpful. But it is close to the main attractions. The room was very clean but needs to be updated

I had a great stay at Riad Al Badia. I only stayed for one night and wish I could have stayed more. Laurent contacted me immediately after I made my booking to welcome me and to offer to arrange transportation and a dinner for my stay. The pickup was fast and efficient and the dinner was wonderful. It was the best meal I’ve had in Morocco so far.
