RIAD XO

Great staff.

Walk path going to property

Beautiful aesthetic, fragrance and wonderfully attentive staff

Excellent location, a 3 minute walk from Medersa Ben Youssef. Wonderful facilities and ambience with pleasant outdoor seating to work or read, lovely rooftop restaurant area and excellent room facilities. Secure entrance and excellent tips for dining etc. The staff were wonderful - incredibly helpful and pleasant.

The location is a little lonely - located on a stretch of road where building is ongoing and which is therefore very quiet at night. This will probably be resolved relatively quickly but for the moment perhaps not the best for solo female travellers walking home after dark.

Beautiful pool Tranquil and calm Friendly staff

It was our first time in Marrakech and we decided to stay in a Riad in the Medina. The Riad xo was absolutely fantastic. The location was the north so slightly quieter but really easy to get everywhere. The quality of the rooms and the grounds were 5 star, it was so tranquil and incredibly beautiful. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff, the introductory talk was really helpful in order for us to navigate Marrakech as first time visitors. They facilitated taxis and also accommodated me who is gluten free at breakfast, following a comment on arrival. The eye for detail was second to none. I would highly recommend the Riad xo.

Amazing property set in the heart of Marrakech. Beautiful architecture of the riad itself with an amazing vibe and atmosphere. Staff were exceptional, attentive and very friendly, always a step ahead.

Can’t fault a thing!

Newly renovated property and beautiful little touches everywhere. Lots of space for every eventuality. The staff were very happy and polite. The breakfast was nice also, with fresh fruits, pancakes etc (very complete). Really close to the souks and the big square.

We booked a superior room (balcony included) for more money. When we finalised at the end, we had been given a standard room. When we questioned this, it was explained that the large window counted as a balcony (and thus a superior room). Furthermore it was right under the restaurant (breakfast and dinner you can listen to the chairs being dragged across floors). Save money and get a standard room. The spa was very underwhelming. It was very expensive for what they are offering. At 700MAD (~€70) each; we booked a hamman, scrubbing and massage. The hamman and scrubbing was in a small room, so and so hygiene with the mop in the same room. The hamman was also cold, which made us cold for the unheated massage room. Squeaky massage chairs and lacking a general finesse (for the price). We went to the local hamman the next day, which was 300 MAD for the same quality. Lastly they only accept cash, and cash machines are far and few in Marrakesh/rarely working.

We loved our week long stay at Riad XO. The Riad is really well appointed, peaceful and includes lots of communal sitting areas and located in an excellent part of the medina. The breakfast at the Riad was particularly good. The Riad is a located in a quiet and safe neighbourhood and just a stone’s throw away from all the major sites. All the staff at the Riad were excellent and really helpful, and contributed to making Riad XO the truly exceptionable place it is.
