I really enjoyed my stay at the Riad, the staff were polite, friendly and helpful. The location was ideal just off the path to the souks and a short walk to the main square, overall would highly recommend.

June 29, 2026 - Amazing Riad. If coming to Marrakech, this is your place to stay. Very clean, staff friendly and helpful. If I could give it 10 stars I would. Great location in the Medina No need to get a walking tour since you are in the Medina itself. Great food as well. As an American being in Morocco for the first time I felt completely safe not only in the Riad but also the Medina. In summary, this is where you should stay. I’ll definitely be back!

A beautiful Riad to say the least. They have a great breakfast buffet in the mornings. The rooftop terrace is breaktaking. Staff are friendly and always ready to help. The pool is well maintained. The location is hard to find but worth the experience as it’s not far from the entrance to the souks. The Riad is perfectly located - close to the Medina and souks.

I loved my stay at Riad Africa. The property is beautiful and located close to the main path in the souk. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They even gave me a free room upgrade. The room was lovely, comfortable, and the breakfast was tasty. I'd definitely recommend this location and would happily stay again when back in Marrakech!

We had a great visit to Riad Africa. The hotel is well situated in the souq, but at the same time just down a little quiet side street. The hotel is beautiful inside and looks like the pictures. It was quiet and tranquil and the rooftop terrace was lovely, particularly for breakfast and at sunset. Our room was very nice, right by a smaller pool than the one in the photos, with a double bed and a single bed, and good air conditioning. The beds were really comfortable, we both slept very well, and there were plenty of power sockets for us. The bathroom wasn't huge but perfectly adequate with a nice quite powerful shower. The staff were all really helpful and friendly. My son was delighted at how good the Wifi was. The hotel sells some drinks - water, soft drinks etc - and there is a small shop just where the lanes from the hotel meet the main souq. There is a taxi rank about a five minute walk away. For our trip to Riad Africa from the airport, we arranged that the hotel picked us up so that we could be shown to the hotel, and that was really helpful. Once someone shows you the way once, it is really easy to find. Hoping to be back soon.

The economy room is excruciatingly small and claustrophobic - pretty much a closet. This is not apparent in the pictures taken and when asking front desk to upgrade had to pay full price of the new room to get the upgrade - this is really unacceptable.
