Guest Reviews
- philippe (10/5): A recommander et refaire - Accueil. Service. Disponibilité. Eaux fraîche dans chambre un plus
- STEPHANE (10/5): - Très bon séjour personnel formidable très beau Riad Un peu dure à trouver.
- ANASTASIA (8/5): -
- Rubén (4/5): No volvería - El personal El colchón, las almohadas, el olor a humedad, la falta de limpieza, la ubicación
- Sonia (10/5): Exceptionnel Riad ! - Un immense merci à Ismaël pour ce séjour absolument parfait ! Ce Riad est une véritable pépite au cœur de la médina : idéalement situé, tout en restant incroyablement calme et reposant. Dès notre arrivée, nous avons été accueillis avec une grande gentillesse et une attention exceptionnelle.
Ismaël est un hôte remarquable, aux petits soins du début à la fin. Toujours disponible, extrêmement gentil, attentif aux moindres détails, il fait tout pour que l’on se sente comme à la maison. Son professionnalisme et sa bienveillance rendent le séjour encore plus agréable.
Le Riad est magnifique, très confortable et d’une propreté irréprochable grâce au travail formidable de la dame qui s’occupe du ménage. Le petit déjeuner est également excellent, copieux et délicieux.
Nous repartons avec de merveilleux souvenirs et recommandons ce Riad les yeux fermés. Une adresse exceptionnelle où nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir ! Tout était parfait !
- jean-francois (9/5): - Emplacement, l'accueil et la disponibilité du personnel.
- Roméo (10/5): Super séjour - Emplacement gentillesse
- Alessandro (9/5): Bel riad caratteristico nel cuore della medina - Riad tranquillo e caratteristico. Ottima e varia la colazione a base dolce. E' possibile anche cenare su richiesta. Letto comodo e camera pulita. Personale molto cortese e disponibile ad aiutarvi con preziosi consigli per districarsi nella caotica Marrakech. Il riad non è per nulla facile da trovare anche perché il vicolo di ingresso è talmente pieno di merci appese che sembra l'ingresso di una bottega.
- douglas (10/5): Excellent host who can arrange anything. Very friendly - Great location
- Sophie (9/5): Fabuleux! - Emplacement idéal. Petit déjeuner fabuleux!
Merci à Ismaël pour l’accueil et les conseils.
- Maureen (10/5): - Le personnel ❤️ Rien
- Lucia (10/5): Excelente - El alojamiento estaba súper limpio. Muy bien ubicado a unos 4’ de la plaza. Ismail te ayuda en todo, además nos ofreció la posibilidad de traslado hasta el aeropuerto, cosa que tranquiliza, de hecho la ida y la vuelta la contratamos con el, en la llegada te explica los sitios turísticos y donde puedes ir a comer y cenar. El desayuno que te ponen en el Riad es perfecto y está todo buenísimo. Sin duda repetiría y lo aconsejo a todo el que vaya. No hay nada
- Anna (10/5): Perfect! - Everything was perfect! Really good hospitality, all the staff were very nice and helpful. I definitely recommend!
- Jordi (10/5): Nos hemos sentido como en casa. Ismail es un anfitrión excepcional - La hospitalidad, la higiene, el cuidado de las instalaciones y la atención y disposición del personal para hacer lo más cómoda posible nuestra estancia
- Lesgourgues (10/5): Un super séjour à Marrakech dans un riad très agréable au cœur de la Médina avec un hôte, Ismail, très attentionné et de -
- Vincent (9/5): - Sehr schönes Riad, sehr nettes und zuvorkommendes Personal. Besonders die Abholung vom Flughafen war im Nachhinein betrachtet sehr praktisch. Auch eine kurze Erklärung zum Verhalten in Marrakesch und ein paar Tipps zur Stadt waren super. Ansonsten war das Personal auch sehr freundlich und sehr zuvorkommend. Nichts ein Pool wäre noch ganz nett gewesen
- Svetlana (8/5): Behageligt og godt ophold i et par nætter for rimelig ok pris. - Det var stille og behageligt.
Mange steder at hvile, tæt på medianen. Venlig vært og rengøringsdame. Jeg savnede vinduerne ud. Stien til selve riaden var meget forsømt og beskidt.
- Bianca (3/5): - Sehr netter Vermieter, Unterkunft sehr zentral Muffig, klammes Zimmer. Kakerlaken!
- Blanca (7/5): Riad bien para un par de noches - El Riad está bien calidad-precio. Es bonito, está cerca de lo principal, el personal es amable y está limpio. El desayuno no tiene proteína ni fruta. Si te toca alguna de las habitaciones de planta baja, lleva tapones u olvídate de dormir temprano o levantarte más tarde de las 8. Tampoco podrás abrir las ventanas para que entre luz o ventilar. Solo hay gel en la ducha, rebajado con agua. Nada es grave, pero no me parece de un Riad con más de un 9 de puntuación.
- Matteo (10/5): Un angolo di pace nel cuore della Medina - Ismahil è stato fantastico trovandoci il taxi sia per l’arrivo che per il ritorno, dandoci consigli su tutto. Ci ha fatto sentire a casa accogliendoci con te e torta, venendoci a perdere di persona. Il Riad é in una posizione ottima sia per muoversi a piedi che da raggiungere con taxi. Un Riad autentico rinnovato con attenzione e design. Camere ampie, ricche di dettagli, pulite e letto molto comodo. Colazione molto buona! Torneremo sicuramente. Niente
- Palma (7/5): Boa localização mas difícil de lá chegar, pessoas incríveis mas limpeza a desejar - Sem dúvida as pessoas, tanto o Ismael como a senhora que nos servia o pequeno almoço eram impecáveis A limpeza não era incrível e como o nosso quarto era no andar de baixo , ainda acabaram por entrar algumas baratas. Os tapetes não pareciam de todo limpos
- Alexandra (8/5): It was ok! - El lugar está bonito y cómodo
Ismail muy atento y nos dio buenas recomendaciones El Desayuno más o menos
- Alaïs (10/5): - Nous avons passé 2 nuits fabuleuses dans ce Riad. Idéalement placé, dans une rue au calme, décoré magnifiquement.
Ismail nous a très bien accueillis et s'est rendu disponible tout le long de notre séjour, toujours avec le sourire et de bons conseils pour nos visites et expériences culinaires marocaines! Un grand merci aussi à Kamar, qui a été aux petits soins avec nous lors des petits déjeuners très copieux !
Nous recommandons vivement ce logement !
- DESIREE (10/5): - Estuvimos como en casa todo muy limpio, muy atentos. El trato Ismail fue de 10, siempre super resolutivo y muy familiar!!!Lo recomendamos y seguramente volveremos al Riad!!! Gracias por todo Llegar al Riad tu primer día es un poco lioso, pero cuando ya sales un par de veces ya lo memorizas y llegas sin problemas!!!
- lillian (9/5): Ismail was wonderful in having us feel welcome and giving us direction with the things we were looking for. He helped u - It was close to everything, it was clean and staff, Ismail and the cook were wonderful, and very helpful. The location a bit off the beaten path
- Corentin (10/5): Probablement le meilleur Riad où séjourner à Kech, vous serez comme chez vous - L’emplacement, le lieu, le personnel
- Bi_Ha (9/5): - Anas hat uns über WhatsApp beim Finden eines Parkplatzes geholfen. Wir empfehlen Parking AGUERZAM. Es kostet 7 Euro die Nacht und ist ein Festpreis. Das Riad liegt etwas versteckt und Google Maps stimmt hier nicht. Ein Foto der Eingangstür füge ich bei. Aber mit Hilfe von zwei freundlichen Einheimischen haben wir es schnell gefunden. Vor Ort hat uns Ismail mit vielen Tipps geholfen. Der detaillierte Stadtplan, den wir von ihm bekamen, war sehr hilfreich. Herzlichen Dank.
Er hat uns auch leckeres Frühstück serviert. Auch Karma, die geputzt hat, hat uns mal einen Tee zwischendurch gemacht und am Vortag fürs Frühstück vorgebacken. Vielen lieben Dank Karma. Alle sind sehr freundlich. In unserem Zimmer Marrakchia im Erdgeschoss war die Luftfeuchtigkeit recht hoch. Durch die Nutzung der Klimaanlage war es besser.
- leonardo (9/5): Abbiamo soggiornato due notti in questo riad e ci siamo trovati davvero bene. La posizione è ottima, nel cuore della Med -
- Idaira Tejera (10/5): - Todo INCREÍBLE! Es muy bonito, la cama es muy cómoda, las instalaciones muy limpias, el desayuno muy rico. El personal del Riad te trata como familia!
Lo único a tener en cuenta es que al menos en mí caso el GPS no iba muy bien y me costó un poco encontrar la entrada, pero como observación para tener en cuenta, no es culpa del Riad. Ya una vez fuimos el resto de veces no te hace falta ni GPS.
Volveremos y recomendaremos éste alojamiento.
- Alexandre (10/5): - Accueil du personnel, fantastique petit déjeuner et proximité avec la place Jemaa El fna
- Jan-Hendrik (10/5): -
- Emmanouil (10/5): Great stay - Very clean and a perfect location what else you need. In addition Ismael can help you with any info and guarantee good private tours All good
- Kristen (9/5): -
- Elisa (7/5): Good one for a short stay - The accommodation was in a very good, central location. The people there were extremely polite, helpful, and kind. The breakfast was excellent, comparable to that of a 4-star hotel. The rooms are beautifully decorated. We had booked two double rooms: the one on the upper floor was perfect, but the ground-floor room was small, and since its openings faced the courtyard, it was very noisy. You were forced to keep the shutters closed at all times not to be seen. The owner could consider installing soundproof interior windows, as it was really impossible to sleep after 8 a.m., and there was constant noise during the day due to arrivals and departures
- Sarah (10/5): AMAZING! We will come back for sure! Lovely Personal and beautiful Riad! :-D - Das Bett war sehr bequem und das Zimmer geräumig. Die Dusche war super - immer heisses Wasser! Das Frühstück war sehr reichlich und lecker. Das Riad ist etwas verstreckt, aber sehr nahe am Place el Fnah und daher ideal gelegen! In der Nacht sehr ruhig. gar nichts zu bemengeln :-)
- FREDERIC (8/5): - L'emplacement, peu de chambres Riad en gestion ce qui enlève l' âme du riad.
Petit déjeuner pris dans le minuscule bureau à cause de la pluie. Pas de pièce prévue en cas de mauvais temps
- Ioana Alexandra (8/5): Ottimo - Staff cordiale e posizione comoda, colazione ottima
- Rafaela Rosario (10/5): Café da manhã incrível, localização espetacular, atendimento ótimo e limpeza impecável. - Café da manhã incrível, com muita variedade e qualidade. A localização é espetacular, perfeita para explorar a cidade. O atendimento foi ótimo em todos os momentos e a limpeza impecável. Recomendo muito! Não tenha nada que tenha me desagradado.
- Clothilde (10/5): parfait, ismaël parle énormément de langue cela facilite bcp de choses ! - l’accueil d’Ismael, le travail de la femme de ménage aussi, tout était parfait, la proximité de tout rien, tout était parfait
- Ludovica (10/5): - La location, molto tranquilla e curata. Ismael molto disponibile e gentile Non molto segnalato, essendo quindi nelle vie laterali non è stato immediato trovarlo. Ovviamente essendo in una posizione molto centrale Maps non è affidabile.
- Svensson (10/5): - This riad was absolutely amazing. Ismail was very nice and led us to the riad in the middle of the night when we arrived late at the airport. It was also very nice talking to him and drinking tea.
- elena (10/5): Un piccolo angolo di magia e relax nel cuore della medina - Abbiamo avuto un soggiorno meraviglioso al Riad El Maktoub. Il riad è magico, tranquillo e pieno di fascino. Posizione nella zona migliore della medina, a pochi passi da piazza Jemaa el- Fna, ma in una stradina laterale, quindi molto silenzioso. Abbiamo davvero apprezzato il nostro soggiorno e l’ospitalità calorosa ci ha fatto sentire come a casa, grazie a Ismail e ai colleghi in cucina che ci hanno preparato una cena ben oltre la mezzanotte il giorno dell’arrivo e una colazione all’alba il giorno della partenza. Conserveremo un bellissimo ricordo di questo soggiorno, consigliamo vivamente questo posto e torneremmo sicuramente. All’inizio abbiamo avuto un piccolo problema con il trasferimento dall’aeroporto, perché non siamo riusciti a trovare l’autista e nessuno rispondeva al telefono. Dopo un bel po’ di attesa, abbiamo dovuto prendere un altro taxi. Trovare il riad da soli all’interno della medina (di notte, con tutto chiuso) non é stato facile, perché Google Maps non lo individua correttamente. Tuttavia, appena siamo arrivati, abbiamo trovato Ismail che ha gestito la situazione in modo rapido e professionale, molto calmo e attento, mettendo insieme all’ultimo e offrendoci un’ottima cena e ovviamente non addebitandoci il costo del transfer di cui non abbiamo usufruito. Da quel momento in poi tutto è stato perfetto.
- Nina Gabriell (10/5): Unser Aufenthalt war hervorragend, wir waren mitten in der Medina, die Lage war sauber und das Personal zuvorkommend und - Sehr gut, Ismail war sehr hilfsbereit und immer zuvorkommend. Das die Klimaanlage nicht wirklich funktionierte, ansonsten alles hervorragend:)
- Maria (9/5): - Todo
- Manuela (10/5): - Una estancia increíble en Riad El Maktoub desde el primer momento nos sentimos como en casa Ismail es una persona muy amable y siempre atento a todo con una sonrisa que te hace sentir cómodo el riad es muy bonito limpio y tranquilo en plena medina las habitaciones son cómodas y el desayuno muy bueno cada mañana también el riad ofrece excursiones si las necesitas durante tu estancia pero nosotros ya teníamos todo reservado antes de llegar aun así Ismail siempre estuvo disponible para ayudarnos con todo y darnos buenos consejos sin duda un lugar que recomendamos y al que volveríamos otra vez Todo estuvo excepcional.
- MARIE ANGE (9/5): - Un petit riad de 5 chambres à 5 minutes de la place jemaa efna.
Le personnel est accueillant et gentil.
Les chambres confortables.
Un excellent rapport qualité prix
Je recommande
- Walter (7/5): Personal hervorragend - Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis in Ordnung - Ismail und die Küchen-Dame waren immer sehr freundlich, aufmerksam und zuvorkommend ! Ismail half und auch sehr, als wir die Nachricht erhielten, dass sich unser Abflug um mehr als 9 Stunden verzögert Das Frühstück war sehr umfangreich und lecker. Der Raum neben dem Bett war sehr eng.
Bad und Dusche waren aber groß genug.
- Stamatis (10/5): Θα το ξανά προτιμούσα σίγουρα - Η εμπειρία μας στο ριάντ ήταν υπέροχη, αλλά αυτό που την έκανε πραγματικά ξεχωριστή ήταν ο Ismail. Από την πρώτη στιγμή μας υποδέχτηκε με χαμόγελο και επαγγελματισμό. Ήταν πάντα διαθέσιμος, προσεκτικός και φρόντιζε κάθε λεπτομέρεια με ειλικρινές ενδιαφέρον. Μας βοήθησε με τα πάντα, από προτάσεις μέχρι οργάνωση δραστηριοτήτων κάνοντάς μας να νιώσουμε σαν στο σπίτι μας. Ακόμα και όταν χρειαστήκαμε άμεσα βοήθεια ήταν πρόθυμος και διαθέσιμος να βοηθήσει. Ο Ismail δεν είναι απλώς επαγγελματίας, είναι ένας άνθρωπος που αγαπά αυτό που κάνει και αυτό φαίνεται σε κάθε του κίνηση. Χάρη σε αυτόν, η διαμονή μας ήταν άψογη και αξέχαστη. Τον συνιστούμε ανεπιφύλακτα.
- T (9/5): Geweldig - De gastheer Ismail doet zo erg zijn best om het iedereen naar de zin te maken. Hij geeft tips, als je vragen hebt krijg je een duidelijk antwoord waar je wat aan hebt.de locatie is perfect.
Als je op maps gaat lopen is het lastig vinden, maar als je tegenover de patisserie chezbrahim (geel met blauw) door een tunneltje gaat kom je er . Het was een beetje vochtig in onze kamer.
Maar dat maakt voor de score niets uit.
- Vijaya (8/5): I really liked the stay here, it needed some help finding the exact location of the stay but since people in Marrakesh a - I have never stayed in a Riad before hence I loved this concept
Although it’s similar to Airbnb but with staff cooking for you and looking after you in case you need anything
- emilie (10/5): Riad adorable et bien placé - Le Riad est conforme à la description, il est calme, propre et plein de charme.
Ismail, notre hôte est plein de très bons conseils (lieux à visiter, lieu de change, petits restaurants sympas, etc....) N'hésiter pas à boire un thé avec lui, c'est très agréable d'échanger avec lui. La dame qui fait le ménage est très gentille et discrète et prépare de très bons petits déjeuners. La difficulté pour trouver le Riad. Aucun réseau avec orange... Comme il est situé dans la médina et que c'est un vrai labyrinthe c'est un peu compliqué la première fois. :)
peut être envisager que le propriétaire envoie en amont la façon de s'y rendre.
- Maria (10/5): - Desayuno espectacular, cerca del centro y personal super amable. Nos trataron de maravilla y repetiremos sin duda la próxima vez !
Gracias por habernos tratado tan bien, nos llevamos muy buen recuerdo de Marruecos💖
- Léa (9/5): Superbe séjour - L'emplacement est superbe pour les visites touristiques. Ismail est très serviable pour différentes demandes. Il vous conseillera et aidera sur beaucoup de sujets.
Le petit déjeuner et le repas est très bon.
La chambre très jolie et calme. Le lit est un peu petit pour 2.
Il faudrait peut-être fournir un plan en avance pour trouver le Riad car ce n'est pas facile dutout.
Le repas du soir est un peu cher (20 euros/per) mais il reste excellent.
- Kruse (10/5): - Das Personal war super freundlich, und das Frühstück war auch sehr gut.
Alles sauber, gute Lage, süße Zimmer.
Chippy ist die beste :)
- Sonia (8/5): Recomendable - Muy limpio todo, impecable. Buena ubicación en medio de todo. Desayuno, si te gusta desayunar dulce, muy bueno.
Buena atención y servicio de las personas que lo gestionan Al ser un Riad con patio interior existe poca intimidad ya que se escucha mucho a las personas que están en el patio hablando al entrar y salir del hotel.
Algo difícil de encontrar la puerta de entrada pues el GPS te dice q está en la calle principal cuando la entrada está en el callejón trasero.
- Tina Lapirtis (8/5): Vi vil varmt anbefale stedet. - Der var rigtig god morgenmad og en hyggelig gårdhave at spise den i. En meget smuk riad, der ligger centralt i Marrakech og alligevel var der roligt. Personalet var venlige og imødekommende. Vi vil anbefale at undersøge priser, hvis personalet hjælper med transport til andre dele af Marrakech, da vi oplevede at betale betydelig overpris. Men ellers får stedet vores varmeste anbefalinger ift. beliggenhed, indretning, atmosfære og åbenhed.
- Benzo (10/5): La vera Marrakech - Il nostro soggiorno al Riad El Maktoub è stato davvero eccezionale e gran parte di questa esperienza è grazie a Ismail fin dal primo momento ci ha accolti con grande professionalità gentilezza e attenzione è sempre stato disponibile e presente assicurandosi che tutto fosse perfetto durante il nostro soggiorno la sua conoscenza di Marrakech è impressionante e i suoi consigli su ristoranti luoghi da visitare ed escursioni sono stati sempre perfetti Ismail rappresenta il vero significato dell’ospitalità e va oltre ogni aspettativa facendo sentire ogni ospite speciale e a proprio agio il riad è bellissimo tranquillo e ben gestito ma ciò che lo rende davvero indimenticabile è la qualità del servizio offerto da Ismail è senza dubbio uno dei migliori host che abbiamo mai incontrato e una vera risorsa per il Riad El Maktoub consigliamo vivamente questo posto a chiunque voglia vivere un’esperienza autentica e memorabile a Marrakech
- Carnevale (10/5): Ci sono molti riad a Marrakech ma c’è solo un Ismail Riad El Maktoub non è solo un posto dove dormire diventa qualcosa d - Riad El Maktoub non è solo un posto dove dormire diventa qualcosa di speciale grazie a Ismail è il re dell’ospitalità 🤴 non solo perché fa tutto perfettamente ma per come ti fa sentire dal primo momento
Tutto è naturale tranquillo e semplice capisce quello che gli ospiti vogliono senza parlare sempre presente sempre professionale con un’energia positiva che cambia tutta l’esperienza
Non lavora soltanto crea ricordi anche nei momenti più semplici spiega la città con passione consiglia i posti migliori e cura ogni dettaglio
Ismail non è solo parte del riad è la sua anima e il motivo per cui le persone non dimenticano mai il loro soggiorno e vogliono tornare
Se vieni a Marrakech e non incontri Ismail hai perso qualcosa di davvero raro
- lucie (10/5): Incroyable séjour au Ryad El Maktoub ! - La gentillesse de Ismaël (un grand merci à lui d’avoir été au petit soin, à l’écoute. C’est un homme très intéressant. La beauté du Ryad et des chambres, son emplacement, les petits déjeuners exceptionnels. Merci aussi à la cuisinière
Un grand merci pour ce séjour incroyable. Tout était parfait !
- Carola (10/5): - Ismael und die Dame, die sich um die Zimmer gekümmert hat, waren sehr herzlich und aufmerksam. Abendessen und Frühstück waren hervorragend und reichlich.
Die Lage in der Medina ist unschlagbar, nur wenige Minuten zum Jemaa el-Fnaa oder zum Badi Palast.
Ich habe mich sehr wohl gefühlt und komme gerne wieder.
- Virginia (8/5): - Muy céntrico , amabilidad del personal y desayuno excelente No había opción de habitaciones con camas individuales. La cama de matrimonio para compartir un poco pequeña
- Samuele (10/5): Ottima esperienza! - Io e la mia ragazza abbiamo avuto un’esperienza meravigliosa al Riad El Maktoub. Il riad è bellissimo, pulito e autentico con un’atmosfera tranquilla che ti fa sentire subito in Marocco. Le camere sono confortevoli e curate nei dettagli, l'ospitalità di Ismael è incredibile, sempre gentile disponibile e attento, si prende cura degli ospiti creando un'atmosfera familiare e rendendo tutto facile e piacevole.
Il riad offre anche escursioni nel deserto e trasferimenti dall’aeroporto tutto perfettamente organizzato.
Consiglio questo posto a chi visita il Marocco.
Grazie Ismail tornerò sicuramente!
- Καραμπάγια (9/5): - We had a very comfortable stay in the Riad . Ismail was helpful, always available and the other lady was very warmly and friendly !! Just a little noisy at the night
- Gregor (8/5): Ruhiges und gepflegtes Riad, perfekt für einen Aufenthalt in Marrakesch geeignet. - Uns hat das Riad sehr gut gefallen. Es ist ein schönes, gepflegtes und ruhiges Haus mit einer sehr angenehmen Atmosphäre im Innenhof – besonders beim Frühstück und Abendessen. Unser Zimmer war sauber und das gesamte Personal ausgesprochen freundlich. Ein besonderes Dankeschön an Ismail für den leckeren Tee!
Sehr hilfreich war auch, dass uns das Personal Sehenswürdigkeiten sowie Cafés und Restaurants auf einer Karte eingezeichnet und empfohlen hat. Bei Fragen oder wenn wir uns unsicher waren, konnten wir uns jederzeit melden und haben immer Unterstützung bekommen. Das Riad liegt etwas verwinkelt in einer ruhigen Seitengasse. Gerade wenn man zum ersten Mal in Marrakesch ist, kann es – besonders im Dunkeln – etwas schwierig sein, den Eingang zu finden. Eine kleine Beschilderung ab der Hauptgasse könnte hier vielleicht helfen.
- W (10/5): - Ismail was friendly and helpful
- Lucia (10/5): Estancia absolutamente maravillosa - El Riad es exactamente como en las fotos, absolutamente precioso. La gente que nos atendió maravillosa, fueron súper majos desde el primer momento. El desayuno una maravilla, muy completo y estaba riquísimo. Recomiendo quedarse aquí 100%, además la ubicación es perfecta. Nos encantó. Nos gustó todo
- Moritz Karl (10/5): - Super nettes Personal, super Frühstück, super Lage - würde es immer wieder buchen.
- ALESSANDRA (10/5): -
- Kevin (10/5): - El alojamiento está en una ubicación bastante céntrica, su personal es encantador. Ismail está pendiente de todo. Ha sido una experiencia maravillosa, lo recomiendo.
- Laura (9/5): Estancia muy buena - Muy bonito por dentro. Es pequeño pero muy lindo Todo en general estuvo bien
- Sébastien (10/5): - Ismael a été très accueillant au Riad et le petit déjeuner était délicieux !
- Beatriz (10/5): Riad acolhedor, anfitrião incrível, ótima experiência - O Ismail é um anfitrião incrível! Foi espetacular connosco durante a nossa estadia, fez nos sentir em casa. A sra que trata dos pequenos almoços e da limpeza do quarto é super querida. O riad é lindo, simples e muito acolhedor. Foi uma experiência muito boa. Se eu voltar a marraquexe vou de certeza voltar a ficar neste Riad.
O preço é muito bom também.
- Fitzhenry (10/5): Fantastic Riad in the heart of the Medina. Very friendly staff and Ismail had a wealth of information that he was more t -
- Paula Amorim (9/5): Uma agradável surpresa - A localização é excelente, os funcionarios são muito simpaticos, ambiente familiar. nada a apontar
- Viamonte (10/5): - Foi uma excelente experiência. O quarto era limpo e confortável, o pequeno-almoço era delicioso e o todas as pessoas do staff era muito simpáticas e atenciosas. Recomendo!
- Tine (9/5): Nice and helpful host. Really nice place. - Really cosy and nice place.
- Qin Xin (10/5): Beautiful Riad in the heart of the Medina - The Riad was beautiful. It was clean and had a nice roof top, especially for sunset. The staff were excellent and very helpful! I would recommend getting there when its still light as google maps takes you to the wrong place - it's the medina there are side alleys everywhere, you just have to go a street over - there are street lights all around too. The breakfast was generous and exceptional. I couldn't recommend Ismail and the woman who services the Riad, they are a wonderful team and make you feel very welcome - they are genuinely so nice and work extremely hard to keep the riad and guests looked after! I would highly recommend and thanks for having us! :) I would recommend taking some ear plugs. Like all riads, sound proofing isn't always the best and if you are on the ground floor it might just help you sleep a bit better if you have noisy guests :)
- Oscar (10/5): Experiencia mágica en Riad El Maktoub Nuestra estancia en Riad El Maktoub fue simplemente perfecta. Desde el primer mom - Ubicación Todo me gustó
- Marta (10/5): - Nuestra experiencia en el Riad fue simplemente excepcional. Un lugar lleno de encanto, tranquilidad y auténtica esencia marroquí. Las habitaciones son cómodas, el ambiente relajante y el desayuno delicioso, preparado con mucho cuidado cada mañana.
Queremos destacar especialmente a Ismail, cuya presencia marca realmente la diferencia. Profesional, atento y siempre dispuesto a ayudar con una sonrisa sincera. No organiza actividades directamente, pero para cualquier huésped que lo necesite, está siempre disponible para ofrecer consejos, recomendaciones y ayudar a organizar experiencias desde el riad.
Ismail tiene algo especial: una energía positiva y una hospitalidad natural que hacen sentir a los viajeros como en casa. Su manera de tratar a los huéspedes transforma una simple estancia en una experiencia mágica e inolvidable.
Un riad altamente recomendable para quienes buscan calidad, autenticidad y un servicio humano excepcional.
Sin duda volveremos.
- Gosset (10/5): Séjour mémorable et super agréable. À refaire. - Nous avons adoré le petit déjeuné qui était délicieux, l’emplacement est super et le personnel très très agréable. Encore merci pour la gentillesse et l’hospitalité. À bientôt j’espère.
- Taja23 (10/5): - Ismail was super helpful, giving us all the important tips and always being there for us. The airport transfer was smooth, and the breakfast, made by a really nice lady, was amazing. The location was really good and central. The bathroom has a cool traditional vibe, but no doors, so keep that in mind if it bothers you.
- Stefano (10/5): Abbiamo passato un soggiorno davvero meraviglioso al riad, tutto perfetto dall’inizio alla fine. Il posto è bellissimo, -
- Laura (3/5): Terrible Experience - Beautiful pool, nice breakfast From the very first moment, the nighttime front desk agent was belittling and strange— informing us that we were traveling poorly and that all of the tours we had booked (and had already been on!) were bad; “you should have seen it years ago,” he said. “you wasted your money.” He informed us we were nothing but targets for people who would take advantage of us, which felt like he was creating an idea of Moroccan people as predatory, which I found offensive, especially considering the riad’s focus on glorifying African culture and how his comments seemed to denigrate African people. He also stayed up late talking to guests quite loudly in the main space, which kept us awake. Wi-Fi did not work in the bed. The daytime employee was immensely kind, as was the owner, but we would never stay again. I asked this employee twice not to speak to us in such a belittling/negative way on our honeymoon but it did not work.
- Álvarez (10/5): - Ubicación, limpieza, ambiente tranquilo , decoración tradicional marroqui y sobre todo el personal, Ismail encantador !!!

- Diana (10/5): I arrived as a guest and left feeling like a friend - I don’t usually write long reviews, but this place genuinely deserves one.
Riyad El Maktoub felt like more than just somewhere to sleep in Marrakech. From the first moment, the check in was easy and relaxed, no stress, no confusion, just a warm welcome.
But the real reason this stay meant so much to me was Ismail.
He didn’t just “do his job.” He helped me with transportation, carried my luggage without me even asking twice, and was always ready with mint tea like he somehow knew exactly when I needed it. He shared real local recommendations, not tourist traps, and answered all my questions with patience and honesty.
The part that really stayed with me? On his free time, he joined me for a bike ride around Marrakech so I could explore the city properly and feel safe doing it. Who does that? That level of kindness and care is rare.
If you stay here, talk to Ismail. Trust his suggestions. If you want tours around Morocco or just honest advice, he will guide you in the best way.

- Cristian (10/5): Fantastic stay, fantastic staff, especially “el jefe Ismael”!!! - We had a wonderful stay at Riad El Maktoub in Marrakech. The location is fantastic — perfectly situated in a strategic area of the Medina, with excellent restaurants just a few steps away. Grand Bazar, for example, was outstanding and became one of our favorite spots.
The riad itself is beautiful, very clean, and exactly as shown in the photos. Our room was extremely comfortable, and the breakfast was truly wonderful. The lady who prepares and serves it is incredibly sweet and attentive, which made every morning special.
The price–quality ratio is excellent and offers great value for money. However, what made our stay truly exceptional was the attention from Ismael. From the moment we arrived, he took care of everything — organizing our arrival and departure, picking us up, recommending amazing places to eat every evening, and even making restaurant reservations for us. On a day when we had an early morning tour, he thoughtfully prepared a box lunch for us. He was attentive, helpful, and genuinely caring throughout our stay. Ismael is “el mejor jefe”.
We would return to this riad a thousand times and recommend it 100%. Thanks to Ismael, our stay was absolutely excellent. Nothing
- Danila Salerno (10/5): Riad meraviglioso! - Posizione eccellente: attrazioni principali molto vicine, soprattutto si trova a pochi passi dalla piazza centrale. Si è rivelata comodissima anche per market e negozi souvenir.
Meraviglioso benvenuto di Ismail, con un buonissimo tea caldo e alcuni consigli sui dintorni.
Patio molto grazioso: pulito e curato.
La camera si presentava esattamente come in foto: pulitissima, bellissima, composta da una miscela di colori perfettamente incastrati tra loro, comoda e con tutti i servizi perfettamente funzionanti.
Colazione abbondante e ricca di prelibatezze. Lo staff è stato molto accogliente e disponibile a supportare le nostre esigenze, anche in termini di orario. Non ci sono indicazioni dalla via principale, quindi, causa GPS un po' altalenante, abbiamo avuto qualche lieve difficoltà iniziale per trovare il Riad. Una volta identificata la via corretta, comunque, è stato molto semplice ritornare dopo le uscite.
- Santos Rojas (10/5): - El personal, la habitación, la estética del Riad nada
- Vanessa (10/5): - A localização é proxima de tudo. O serviço é exelente, sempre disponíveis. O pequeno almoço é exelente.
E temos que agradecer ao ISMAEL essencialmente pela disponibilidade e atenção. Voltamos sem dúvida
- alessandra (8/5): - Riad semplice, pulito e caratteristico.
Ismael è stato super disponibile organizzandoci transfert da/per aereoporto, consigliandoci posti da visitare e dove mangiare, prenotando direttamente lui su nostra richiesta. Consigliato
- LAURENT (9/5): Super séjour à Marrakech ! - C'était ma quatrième venue à Marrakech. Ce riad est très bien situé dans la médina. Très proche de la place Jemaa el fna, le personnel est très sympathique. Ismael et Qamar ont pris soin de nous. J'ai pu prendre un petit déjeuner un peu plus tôt me permettant de prendre le départ du marathon dans de bonnes conditions. Une navette pour venir nous chercher à l'aéroport nous a été proposée (en supplément), et cela a été très utile. Quand on ne connaît pas Marrakech, le riad peut être difficile à trouver, mais pour moi aucune difficulté. Merci Ismael et Qamar, et merci également à la gérante qui nous a toujours renseigné avant notre voyage. Étant au rez-de-chaussée, on entendait les autres occupants au moment des petits déjeuners. Insonorisation à améliorer.
- Bram (9/5): 2 dagen in Marrakesch voor roadtrip met Avis huurauto naar Merzouga zandduinen en daarna zuid-west kust - 1 van de vele prachtige Riads in de Medina van Marrakesch. Na boeking wordt je gevraagd of je een airport transfer wil. Advies om dat te doen want zelf je overnachting vinden in de nauwe straatjes. Je wordt tot de voordeur begeleid. Mooi gerenoveerd en heerlijke ontvangst. Ruim ontbijt. Optie voor diner in binnenplaats. Dakterras voor ondergaande zon. In het levendige centrum maar dikke muren dus absoluut stil. -
- Veronica (8/5): - O Riad providenciou transfer que funcionou perfeitamente e o atendimento a ajuda prestada pelo funcionário foi muito boa. As condiçoes do alojamento são boas em termos de higiene e a localização é ótima porque fica a 5 minutos da praça e do restaurante pepe nero para quem não quiser comer em restaurantes locais. Os acessos ao Riad são feitos através de ruas estreitas, muito sujas e escuras. Tem vários mendigos no acesso e pessoas que ficam simplesmente por lá. Nunca fomos abordados ou sentimos insegurança nesse acesso mas convém quem vai marcar ver o percurso e imaginar a fazê-lo de noite para verificar se é ou não uma opção. Fomos em casal mas não recomendo para viagem de mulheres andar pelos guetos.
