Walking into Riad Viva off the rather messy side street was like walking into an oasis of pure calm and beauty? Such amazing staff and a feeling of total peace and tranquility within a very busy and slightly manic city! The pool is a small plunge pool really but I can only imagine on a hot day it must be perfect! Loved the rooftop sitting/ sun bathing area. The room was beautiful, basic and I wondered about the cleanliness of the rugs and cushions but the bed itself abd bathroom were excellent. Breakfast was lovely, and nothing was ever too much. Really loved this overnight and a warm welcome awaits those who venture to find it

Disliked: Staff & service
I stayed in Marrakech for 9 days and at three Riads. This was the most disappointing stay. The staff met us for our airport transfer and just said, “follow me” no hello, no checking to see who we were. Just took off at an abrupt pace with no offer to help with our bags. We travelled light (just backpacks and one carry on suitcase) but still struggled to keep up in the heat with our bags following the staff through the twisting alleyways. We were asked to pay as soon as we arrived, they told us the card reader was only for larger payments (our total was over 100 euros) and we needed to pay in cash immediately. We didn’t have enough so out we went to get more from the atm. When we returned, they had no change and asked us to go out and get more to pay the next day. Our room was fine, if a bit lacking. Two towels for showering but no hand towels or wash clothes. The whole area is under construction and everything was dusty. The staff showing us the room turned on the light for us, it flickered and kept going out so she just turned it off and then left. The rooftop was a nice place to relax and the morning we left another staff offered us a light breakfast before we had to depart which was a nice touch. Overall, I wouldn’t stay here again. It felt dated, impersonal, and like we were an inconvenience for being there. If you’re on a budget and just need a place to sleep this will suffice. If you’re looking for an enjoyable stay, consider other Riads.

L’accueil est toujours aussi agréable et le personnel bienveillant et toujours prompt à satisfaire nos demandes. L’emplacement du Riad est parfait, très jolie vue sur le jardin de la Mamounia depuis la terrasse, à qq minutes à pied des souks… Nous le recommandons 👍

Séjour agréable

Accueil chaleureux et très souriant. Le Riad est très beau, propre et petit dejeuner bon et copieux. Bonne localisation, tout se fait à pied. Très belle terrasse et petite piscine agréable pour se rafraichir. A savoir : le riad se situe dans une zone pseudo piétonne (pas de possibilité de deposer les bagages au pied du Riad). Le parking public payant est à 5 min a pied.

This is classic Morocco. You walk down alleys in the Medina to a traditional door with a small sign. Once you step inside, you are in a traditional home, complete with tiled central courtyard open to the skies (they have a roof that closes over) and a central fountain. My room was off the courtyard with a wooden grill over the window and shutters on the inside for privacy. It was a very quiet place, clean and comfortable. I had a glass of wine by the fountain and had a traditional dinner of Moroccan salads and lemon chicken tagine for dinner. (Breakfast was a banana because I don't eat wheat.) They arranged for a taxi to the airport. The driver arrived on time and walked me back out of the alleys. The airport is about 15 minutes away. The taxi, dinner and drinks must be paid for in cash. They accepted dollars, euros and dirhams. When it came time to run the credit card for the room, the machine wasn’t working. I was prepared to pay cash, but the attendant wildly miscalculated the exchange rate (over $20) and would not acknowledge his error. Finally, we were saved when the machine started working.

Very friendly and beautiful Riad, staff great, on site Hamam and massage highly recommended, breakfast tasty and useful though only continental. Nothing too much trouble for them, only downside is location is slightly concerning down a dead end alley which late at night can feel uncomfortable, though we experienced no real issues just one instance of begging.

Nice riad that offers value for money

Very nice riad in a good location that offers good value for money. Only let down was the breakfest the day of departure. We checked out early and we told that they would have a small breakfest ready. It was indeed small and much less than the day before. The guy at the riad did not care much and just replied that the shops were not open..

Ein Rias zum Wohlfühlen

Wir verbrachten 6 Tage im Rias Viva und unsere Erwartungen wurden nicht enttäuscht. Das Riad ist der hübsch, gepflegt und mit viel Liebe gestaltet. Das Personal war immer hilfsbereit und freundlich, die Massage bei Amal war sehr gut und ist nur zu empfehlen. Auch der kleine Pool, der vor allem unsere Tochter ( 8 Jahre) sehr gefallen hat und der in einem Riad nicht Gang und Gäbe ist, war immer für eine Erfrischung willkommen. Das Riad liegt in einer ruhigen Seitenstraße am Rande der Medina und dennoch sind alle Sehenswürdigkeiten gut zu Fuß zu erreichen. Obwohl unser Zimmer im Erdgeschoß lag, habe ich es nie als laut empfunden. Im Gegenteil, ich fand es sehr schön, nicht in der Anonymität eines großen Hotels zu wohnen, sondern Teil einer kleinen Gemeinschaft des Riads und seiner Nachbarschaft zu sein. Wir werden bestimmt nicht das letzte mal im Riad Viva gewesen sein.

Sofort wieder würde ich das Viva buchen. Alle Mitarbeiter sind hilfsbereit und sehr freundlich. Die Lage ist für die wesentlichen Sehenswürdigkeiten ideal. Lassen Sie sich abholen. Das erste Mal dorthinzufinden ist eine Herausforderung. Das Frühstück auf der Dachterasse ab 8.00 Uhr lässt wenig Wünsche offen (kein Buffet). Amal und Yusuf sind besonders zuvorkommend. Gute Mitarbeiterauswahl!

Sehr gute Location für Marrakech!

Yusuf ist sein eigentlicher Name, für Deutsche nennt er sich Joseph, für Spanier Jose,...er begrüßt den Gast mit einer Ruhe und Freundlichkeit, die ihresgleichen sucht. Er ist nicht nur für die Rezeption zuständig sondern serviert einem auch das wundervolle Frühstück auf der Dachterasse. Lassen Sie sich vom Flughafen abholen, das Riad ist nicht leicht zu finden. An der Einrichtung fällt die Liebe zum Detail auf. Auf der Dachterasse sind auch einige Liegen und ein Pool. Die Aussicht ist auch den Garten des besten Hotels Marrakechs: La Mamounia. Unbedingt mal hingehen! Keine kurze Hose, keine Turnschuhe also fein anziehen. Wenn es das Budget hergigt, empfehle ich das Mittagsbuffet am Pool dieses Luxushotels. Ein Traum an Auswahl und Qualität. Es besteht die Gefahr zu viel zu essen. Der Preis ist mit knapp 70 Euro happig. Man lebt nur einmal. 12.30 bis 15.30 mit Wifi Code. Beim Riad Viva kann man nichts falsch machen. Nicht mehr weiter suchen - einfach Buchen!

Riad Viva rekommenderas!

Vi bodde 3 tjejer i oktober 2015 på Riad viva en natt. Det låg lite krångligt till, men man kände att man fick ta del av det riktiga Marrakech när man promenerade genom det vindlade gränderna som ledde till den vackra oas som är Riad Viva. Vi fick ett varmt bemötande av personalen som hjälpte till med mycket, och de dukade upp en mysig autentisk marockansk middag, med bland det godaste vi åt under hela resan. På det hela var Riad Viva otroligt vackert, välkomnande och inspirerande.

Very nice Riad, Convenient, Great Service and Food

Like most Riads in the Medina, you walk through narrow, dirty streets and then enter a doorway into a beautiful, charming oasis. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Breakfast is typical for the area- very good, but too much food. We had ours on the lovely roof top overlooking the most expensive hotel and garden in Marrakech. Though a few steps away from the main square of the Medina, it was a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of being in the very center at the end of the day. The first night in Morocco, we decided to eat at the Riad instead of dealing with finding a suitable restaurant and it was definitely worth it. We are vegetarians and the food was marvelous!

Idyllic Riad, great location, first class service

Just came back from staying at the Riad Viva. This was my second stay and what brought me back was the beautiful roof terrace, great rooms all of which are decorated and furnished in an authentic Moroccan style, and excellent staff - especially Rahal - nothing was too much trouble for him and he really made my stay a memorable one. Thinking about going back a third time - that's how good it is.

Stunning Riad and amazing staff

My mum and I stayed for 4 nights in this wonderful Riad. Just on the outskirts of the medina, it was an ideal location for walking everywhere. It was a lovely neighbourhood and everyone was so friendly! The Riad itself was beautiful and just what you needed to rest up after the hectic hustle and bustle. We were welcomed in and made to feel at ease. Nothing was too much trouble and they treated us so well. All the staff were wonderful and so friendly. Amal gave me a massage and pedicure and was so kind. We didn't want to leave! Especially not from the terrace where we enjoyed sitting by the pool, listening to the birds and having food brought to us. It was a delightful holiday and i would thoroughly recommend this Riad!
