Fatima and family were very friendly and welcoming, and extremely helpful. Fatima spoke good English and gave us great directions and advice on where to go and where to avoid which made our trip easy and enjoyable. Would definitely recommend.
Our two nights in Marrakech was highlighted by this Riad! Lovely, beautiful and quiet with birds flying inside the riad. The owners were some of the best hosts we’ve met in Morocco with their genuine hospitality! They’re just very nice people! Did I mention their wonderfully made breakfast? Highly recommend Riad Tamarrakecht.

This is a very beautiful property in a good location within the Medina. The walk to the main square is reasonably straight forward. The breakfast is good. However we had some significant issues. We had a very beautiful room but the air conditioning was not working. This was important because it was extremely hot outside. We were there for three days and complained every day but the ac was not repaired. The owner came to our room and checked it and said it would be fixed but nothing happened. We knew it wasn't working because our daughter had a room on her own that was very cool. The other problem was our arrival. We were driving and needed to park outside the walled city. We were told someone would meet us at the wall entrance and tell us where to park and where to go. We were not warned that there were hustlers who would try and get us to go elsewhere and drive into the Riad and demand money from us. There was quite a bit of ugliness involved with this. Later on, someone came to pick us up for a food tour and it turned out he was a hustler too who had overheard a phone call. He supposedly took us to the car and then demanded money--but he had nothing to do with the cooking class. The Riad staff should be checking and warning its guests about these people. Often the guy who was sitting at the desk was on his cell phone and didn't even notice who was coming and going.
Very nice room, lovely courtyard & historic traditional beauty, also close to the souks.
Fatima was tremendously helpful and patient with us when our travel plans went awry after our luggage didn’t make it on to the plane.
I loved staying at this Riad with my husband. Fatima was a gem and her family was as well. She went out of her way to tell us where to go, how much to pay for things and when we told her we wanted spices and tea, her mother went and got them for us so that we wouldn’t get ripped off. Breakfast was great everyday and this Riad in Marrakech helped make the trip an even better one. I highly recommend this Riad.
Our first Riad experience and the best of all during our 2+ week visit to Morocco. A lovely family run Riad. The staff was so willing to help us in every way. It is beautiful and calm. Perfect in the craziness of the Medina. Delicious breakfasts every day. Each one different. A great place to stay
My friend and I stayed at this property for 5 nights (both females travelling) in September. The riad is in the old part of Marrakech which, in our opinion had more cons than pros. We would definitely suggest staying in a more popular/new area.
The riad entrance looks like a residential door and you can often knock for a very long time to gain entry back into the riad. As the area itself didn't feel particularly safe, they could most definitely work on this issue; especially during evening/night.
This is because we're not sure if this is an issue everywhere, but we found groups of men lingering outside shouting abuse and generally harassing us everyday.
The owner herself was very nice, helpful and hospitable. The room was clean however the ground floor room can get very humid despite the AC. Local amenities aren't great - as it's an old part of the city.
Riad Tamarrakecht is absolutely stunning! The royal suite is immaculately ornate, and Fatima is an angel! She made us feel like family and welcomed us with sweet drinks, treats and a thorough orientation of the city. She offered priceless advice and always responded to us with a smile and a friendly demeanour. We couldn’t have been more happy with our accommodation and would LOVE to return again!
The interior in here are out of this world. The pools with rose petals floating in the water, the terrace, and the rooms all show the amount of work and care the owners put into the riad. The owners themselves are wonderful people as well, trying to help with everything we ask them. In a place like Marrakech, it feels good to know that you can trust your riad for recommendations. They got up early to make us breakfast at 6:30AM since we needed to leave on a tour, they explained the map of the Medina to us over and over again, we just couldn’t ask anything more!
Exceptional hospitality from a wonderful family owned Riad. The attention paid to us and the welcoming nature of the owners was second to none. I would highly recommend a stay here for anyone visiting Morocco. Rooms were 1st class and a most scrumptious fresh totally home made breakfast every morning. Excellent!!

Riad Tamarrakecht was fantastic. The hotel is conveniently located close to one of the gates to the Medina, which made it easy to find. In addition to this, they actually sent a person to meet us at the gate and guide us to the Riad. Once we arrive, they provided us with a map of the Medina and with detailed information on how to navigate through it. This made our visit to the Medina much more enjoyable. Breakfast was good and the room was comfy and spacious. We recommend Riad Tamarrakecht to anyone who wants to visit Marrakesh.

This Riad is quite simply, wonderful! Run by the dearest family, who are all so helpful and kind. There is ample room to roam and lounge, and a very lovely pool and water features that soothe the weary soul. A true oasis in the midst of the chaos that is Marrakech. Each bedroom is decorated differently (stayed in two different rooms, by choice) and was impressed by both. Great beds, linens and towels, bath products, very spacious and very good a/c. What more could you ask for?! It was hard to leave...highly recommend this Riad for a brief or long stay...would return in a heartbeat!
Once inside this Riad it is beautiful, nicely furnished and spotlessly clean. The owners are superb, very pleasant and helpful. We had an early flight but the owner got up early to give us breakfast at 6.30am. Over and beyond the call of duty in my opinion and was much appreciated. We only spent the one night here, our last night in Morocco and would strongly recommend asking the Riad to arrange a taxi who will park near as possible and walk you to the door as we tried to find our own way and it was hard with locals trying to relieve you of your money to help or show you the way. It was a little unnerving as it was getting dusk and not another tourist in site. I am sure once you are settled in it is not a problem but hesitancy in Morocco is asking for unwanted attention. My only negative were the walls are a little thin, surprising as this Riad is a recent build. I found most Riad's have this problem but we just happened to have a noisy neighbour. No outside window may not suit everyone, there was a window looking to the pool area though. A good size room for a Riad. To conclude. owners, decor and cleanliness make this a good choice.
Loved the Riad. A very calm and relaxing atmosphere, you wouldn’t know you were in the middle of the Médina. The staff were delightful. Sara was especially helpful and caring. Felt very welcome. 15 minute walk to the Djemaa el Fna. A cultural walk to say the least, at the heart of Marrakech life. Would happily return.
Beautiful family operated Riad! About 15 mins walk to the main square. Very clean and nicely decorated rooms. Loved the pools with rose petals. Zahra and Fatima were very helpful, the warm hospitality of their family made us feel like home. We felt extremely safe inside the Riad.
We stayed at this hotel, and was extremely happy with our stay. The hotel is located in a bustling area of the Medina and within walking distance to the Souks and other touristy areas. The alleyways where this hotel is located can be a bit uneasy for a tourist at first sight, but it was certainly no problem each of the times we walked alone throughout the neighborhoods to get into the Souks. The hotel itself is fantastic. We truly enjoyed our days staying here and all of the hotel staff were amazing to us. Spoke English fluently, and even offered insights to the best areas to visit during our stay in Morocco. The hotel includes complimentary breakfast, which was definitely a highlight to our stay as we could chose to sit either near the pool or on the rooftop terrace. Breakfast includes waitstaff so you truly get a restaurant feel while enjoying a Moroccan style breakfast. We will stay here again if we are ever in Morocco again.
Gorgeous property, very quiet amidst the chaos of the Medina. Super friendly and helpful staff. Mohktar was the best - provided outstanding advice and directions - including a custom hand drawn map - for an area where GPS is only 80% effective. Do be cautious with the overly “helpful” people in the Médina. Not dangerous, but aggressive to earn money
Gorgeous riad with a stunning interior. The staff were welcoming and very friendly, showing us directions for sights in Marrakech and providing us with tea upon arrival. The room was spacious and clean. There is also a rooftop terrace where you can relax and enjoy views. We were also able to have breakfast early in the morning upon request. Would definitely return again, highly recommended!
Absolutely amazing place to stay, lovely hosts--and fabulous location with a rooftop terrace! Delicious breakfast on top of that--and a great value!!! 100% recommended!
Really beautiful Riad in a nice location 10-15 minutes walk from the main souks and square.
Room was lovely and breakfast on the roof each morning was amazing, with some different treats and juices each day we were there.
The hosts were one of the main reasons Tamarrakect stood out, with the place being run by a family that made all the guests feel welcome and able to ask for help on anything.
They also had a super cute hotel puppy to play with, so 5* just for him
