Amazing place—if in doubt do it!! We were traveling with our 1 year old baby and wanted a family friendly but quiet and very clean place. The interior is meticulously maintained—so much attention to detail. The whole property was spotless. Staff were very attentive and kind and great at anticipating our needs with the baby. Safe quiet place a little ways out of the Medina but it feels like an oasis and is very worth the stay.

I enjoyed my stay. The staff was great, very helpful, and welcoming. My room was great and the riad was beautiful. You need to walk to get to the riad, about a minute from the nearest car-accessible street. On my arrival, my taxi driver had no idea where to drop me off so be prepared with that information. I had an early 7 AM flight and they arranged for a taxi to pick me up at 5 AM.

The most charming thing about this property was the friendly staff there, especially Youssef, who gave a very welcoming greeting to myself when I first arrived. The team was very attentive and friendly. Even though it’s my first time in Marrakesh, it’s made me feel like home. Since it’s not a big property, I like the fact that it’s quiet , peaceful and the place you want to go back to after all the craziness on the streets of Marrakesh. The room was very clean, although a bit noisy at night for me , perhaps because I was on the ground floor. I could hear guests coming in in the evening or noise at the backstreet behind the property. The other great thing about the property was that it served breakfast whenever you’re ready, you don’t need to rush, it’s perfect for holiday. I will come back again definitely!

We stayed in Marrakech for 9 nights and split our time between three Riads. Riad Al Badia was the best! We wished we had stayed there the entire time. The room was clean and beautiful, the food was the best we had in the city, and the service was absolutely 5 stars. The team there is amazing and we truly felt like we were able to relax and enjoy our time. We can’t wait to come back.

We received a very warm welcome from Youssef and he gave us lots of advice that we found useful in navigating the area. In addition Abdul provided useful advice with restaurants and day trips. We also had a lovely meal prepared for us by Latifa. It was definitely the most delicious meal that we had whilst in Marrakech. We were both impressed with the cleanliness of the property.

The staff were amazing, and there's clearly so much thought in everything they've done. the decor was calming and like something out of a Zara home lookbook - we were snapping photos for our design scrapbook. I've already recommended Riad Al Badia to my family and we will choose nowhere else on our next trip to Marrakech. 10/10

Perfection.
I cannot fault this Riad. The rooms are clean and charming, the cleaning staff do a wonderful job and the hosting is the best I've ever experienced. On arrival we were given so much help getting around Marrakech with tips about the best routes, sights and restaurants and our hosts were always so friendly and happy to chat with us when we got back for the evening. You have to try the food here at least once it was so lovely. Even the WiFi is good! A perfect little riad wallkng distance from the main market square but quiet and peaceful at night tucked away in the local residential streets.

An unique experience
This is a very well kept and beautiful traditional riad within walking distance to the main squares and markets. Each of the rooms has the name of a local palace and when you enter, they have the right size, natural light, are super clean and comfy. The breakfast was delicious, the right start for the day. For our last evening, we booked in advance, dinner at the hotel, this was a unique and exquisite experience. Lastly and for us the most important, the staff were very friendly and caring, specially Yousef, who made our stay unique, he gave us great indications and tips, organised excursions to the Atlas and was always available.

Lovely Riad location with very caring staff
Aside from a mix up with the airport transfer when we landed, we had an excellent stay at Riad Al Badia. Youssef and his team were excellent hosts. We received a fantastic service including breakfast each morning and would highly recommend the evening meal at the Riad as well. Definitely recommend this to anyone looking to visit Marrakesh. Great location and value for money.

The staff was super friendly and treated my wife and I like family. They arranged transportation, day trips, a wonderful welcome dinner and scrumptious homemade breakfast every morning. Our room was cleaned daily and it was a great retreat from the hustle and bustle of the Medina. We want to especially thank our wonderful hosts once again for a fantastic time in Marrakech and the surrounding areas. I also would like to thank Kareem who was provided by the Riad as our driver for our day trips. He was an absolute pleasure and made each trip special by going out of his way to have us experience Morocco at its heart.. I don’t believe we could have enjoyed our time without this amazing team. We will definitely be back, if nothing else than to visit our new family from Marrakech!

We booked this property for our first trip to Marrakech based on someone telling us that staying in a Riad was the way to go for first timers. The host maintained communication with us prior to our trip and arranged for us to be picked up from the airport which was convenient. We were picked up in a large comfortable van and brought to the location. We got out and had a walk to the actual property. We were a little taken aback by the location and we’re wary about staying there just because it didn’t look appealing from the street. Once we went in we were greeted by very hospitable ladies with tea. We arrived early and they were able to get us into our room within 30 minutes. Our entire trip they were extremely hospitable and told us how to get around and what to do while staying in Marrakech. I would totally recommend staying here, don’t let the outside fool you. It’s a short walk to the Medina and souks. Plenty of restaurant options close by.

This was my first visit to Marrakesh and I had no idea what to expect. The busy nature of Marrakesh hits you as you get out of the airport. When I arrived at the Riad Al Badia, which is only about 20mins from the airport, it was in a residential neighbourhood. I was not sure what to expect. The moment the door opened, I saw the beaming smile of Youssef, I knew this was going to be a great stay. My hotel room was on the top floor, terrace area. I fell in love with the whole concept of a Riad style place to stay. If I could, I would live in one! The Riad Al Badia is a charming place, very comfortable to stay. Nothing beats the warmth of the staff who were always so pleased to serve you. The location is so well placed for you to explore the souks and the main attraction of Jemma el-Fnna. There is a nice local shop as you make your way to the Riad, which sells water and a few essentials that you may want. The location is safe and convenient. The main thing to keep in mind is that this is a Riad, not a hotel. These are family homes that have been converted for tourists. Breakfast was fantastic. I left full every morning, not needing to eat until much later in the day. At the time of my stay, we had other guests from the USA, UK, France, China and Spain. When I get a chance to revisit Marrakesh, I will be staying here again.

I had a great stay at Riad Al Badia. I only stayed for one night and wish I could have stayed more. Laurent contacted me immediately after I made my booking to welcome me and to offer to arrange transportation and a dinner for my stay. The pickup was fast and efficient and the dinner was wonderful.

This was a wonderful place to stay. You felt as though you were at a private villa and had your personal staff on hand for anything you wished. Youssef and the ladies were so helpful with every aspect of your stay. From the point you entered, you had hot tea poured and relaxed and enjoyed. You could have dinner prepared and the chef would go to the market and choose fresh vegetables to prepare. The meals were of the most highest of quality. Dinner was tasty and breakfast was very delicious as well. The rooms were quiet and beds super comfortable. The linens and bath towels were so soft and wonderful. Such a wonderful stay
