72 Hotel & Spa

The hotel is great! It’s really an oasis in the middle of the Medina. Hotel restaurant is delicious en service is perfect. My only criticism is that our room felt enclosed when we arrived; did not smell very fresh. Nevertheless, the room was very clean!

It's difficult to describe exactly how wonderful Riad 72 is - it's complete heaven! Beautiful interiors, wonderful food and the most attentive service. The Hamman and massage is an experience well worth opting for too if you have the time and such amazing value! I would recommend Riad 72 to any of my friends - Stefania and her team really do make it a home from home. 10/10

We arrived early at the Riad because of our early morning flight from the U.K. and were greeted with light refreshments and a warm welcome which was lovely because of the long wait at the airport. We were explained everything about the Riad, breakfast, souks, Riad policy’s, everything by Stefania including a mobile phone for emergencies. We were able to check in straight away too which was a bonus considering we arrived at 11 and check in wasn’t until 2. The room we had was the only one in the Riad with an upstairs that lead us to our own private terrace which was amazing. We had a beautiful view of the Koutoubia Mosque and surrounding area. Breakfast was fresh fruit with yoghurt and a small selection of bread/pastries each morning with fresh orange juice or tea/coffee/cappuccino. A nice healthy breakfast. We had lunch up on the terrace which was lovely too, after eating couscous and tagine for 3 days straight we needed something different and the Riad 72 burger was juicy with bread and a tasty dip for starters. We did not have dinner at the Riad so I cannot comment on that but we did have the hamman and massage which was great. A Moroccan lady who was sweet and funny. My partner and I had a great Hamman experience with her which I still laugh about even after we have come home. Tip make sure to drink plenty of water before you have the Hamman. The massage after was great too after a lot of walking my feet were hurting and they spent a good amount of time massaging the feet.

Road 72 is a beautiful place with excellent service in a perfect location. We booked two rooms both very well furnished creating an authentic atmosphere. The breakfast and dinners are well prepared and served and a delight to eat. The perfect location to visit both the old and newer parts of Marrakesh.

We had an amazing stay at Riad 72. Everything was perfected just for us upon arrival (which was very late, due to flight delays). We were welcomed with tea and pastries, to settle us in. My fiancee and I stayed for 4 nights, as a birthday treat for him and we loved every minute. Stefania and her team are all so freindly and welcoming, we were treated like family! Nothing was too much trouble, including advice on where to go and what to see, arranging tours, taxi's and anyhting else you needed whilst staying. The waiting and housekeeping team were also ever professional and always friendly and smiling. Our every need was catered for perfectly. One of the days when we had taken a walking tour around the Medina (highly recommend), we came back to the hotel and had lunch on the gorgeous roof terrace. The food was wonderful and the sun loungers and seating avaialable allowed us to enjoy a drink in the sunshine. A pleasure to stay here, we will definitely be back

Not as good as the website promised. The aim of the manageress is to get you to have hammans and go on their arranged trips. I was given a room that was on split levels (2 meters in height between bedroom and wardrobe) Not sensible for a 70 year old (although it was ok for me). Minor irritations - no shower cap and a shower base of stone with tiled floor (very slippy). The menu was 3X the price of elsewhere and not particularly good (but I only had dinner once). However the bed was good and the staff very nice. It was also close to the centre

Riad 72 is an excellent property! Staying at the Riad is like coming home at the end of a busy day. Upon arrival you are greeted with mint tea and cookies in courtyard. At night, it becomes magical with just enough light. The courtyard brings the outside inside. We had dinner their the first night which was delicious (Lamb Tanjia, Chicken Tagine, Moroccon Vegetables and Chocolate Mousse). They were mindful of the fact that I have food allergies and all of the staff were informed. Each morning, we could have breakfast either on the roof terrace or in the courtyard. The terrace was very romantic. Breakfast consisted of fresh yogurt, strawberries and bananas and pastry. Asma was our server at breakfast. The first morning, she knew me by face and knew of my allergies. I didn't have to worry about anything. At breakfast they made me eggs due to the fact that I could not eat the pastry. When it was time for bed the room was very comfortable and quiet. The staff is like the staff at a 5 star hotel. They are all amazing!!! Stefania and Medhi are both incredibly helpful and accommodating. They planned all of our guides and day trips from the Riad. In addition, Stefania and Medhi went out of their way to help us get a day trip to Rabat from Casablanca. This was above and beyond our expectations. Truly an amazing place!

An Absolute amazing little boutique Riad in walking distance to everything. The rooms are spacious, clean and nicely decorated. The manager and staff go out of their way to ensure you are having a good time. I highly recommend Riad 72

This Riad is magical. Upon arrival, the staff is at your service letting you pick out your soap fragrance, filling you in about the area, answering any questions you may have, and serving mint tea. The staff made us feel at home throughout our stay, constantly asking if there was anything else we needed. Our room was more like an apartment. It had a huge sitting area, spacious bedroom, bathroom with double vanity, bath and shower, and extra walk-in closet. The details were exquisite and the design was perfect. Loved seeing the amazing Moroccan style in every detail of the room. Breakfast was loveley. Fresh squeezed orange juice, 5 types of bread with cheese, jam, and butter. Fruit and yogurt as well. Everything very fresh We had hammam and dinner the last night (which takes 6 hours to cook). It was amazing. Hammam was a great experience and dinner was incredible. Only thing to note is that our room was off the main courtyard. At times, we had to close the shutters for some privacy, but then the room got a bit stuffy. Next time I’d ask for a room that wasn’t off the main courtyard, but it didn’t affect our stay too much. The location is walking distance from everything in the Médina, and really close to taxis should you want to get out of town. We had a fabulous time and this Riad was everything we wanted and more. We loved it!

My boyfriend and I booked Riad 72 for our first trip to Marrakech - so we didn't really have a good understanding of the concept of the Moroccan riad or the differences from a typical hotel. After our trip, we are convinced that staying at a riad was the way to go and that Riad 72 was the cream of the crop. The common areas are even more gorgeous than pictured online and our suite was spacious, comfortable and beautifully decorated. When compared with our lodgings in others cities in country, Riad 72 had by far the most local flavor and charm. The riad is tucked away into an alley near Bab Doukkala so it was centrally located (easy walking distance) for all sightseeing in the Medina but still far enough away from the more chaotic souks to be quiet and relaxing. More than anything else, the staff were wonderful and went out of their way to make sure we had a great experience in Marrakech. We booked a hammam at the riad and it was wonderful and competitively priced compared to some of the other spas in the city. We also enjoyed breakfasts and a couple of dinners at the riad and they were delicious. Do yourself a favor, stay here.
