The staff and Pilar were amazing! My friends and I were greeted by the staff and Pilar as we stepped out of our transportation. Upon entering the beautiful raid we washed our hands and were greeted by treats and tea. The room was clean, any question we had they were a quick to respond. Pilar and staff went above and beyond for us, which was truly appreciated! Definitely a must visit if you are in Marrakech!

A Perfect Stay! New, Clean, and Exceptionally Convenient ​We had an absolutely fantastic stay at this property and couldn't recommend it highly enough. ​The accommodation is brand new and immaculately clean, making for a very comfortable and relaxing experience. The location is truly unbeatable—it's incredibly convenient and within easy walking distance of all the major attractions, which saved us a lot of time and hassle. ​What truly elevated our visit was the exceptional host. They are genuinely nice, helpful, and attentive, providing excellent service throughout our time there. ​The breakfast was very good, offering a great start to our day, and the overall service was top-notch. If you're looking for a fresh, clean, and perfectly located property with an amazing host, this is the place to book!

A peaceful haven for remote work. I appreciated the fast Wi-Fi, quiet areas for Zoom calls, and endless mint tea from the refresh bar. What made it extra special was how calm the energy was, it felt like a soulful co-living space with world-class hospitality.

I am a first-time visitor to Morocco and I couldn’t have chosen a better location. The master concierge planned everything: airport pickup, local experiences, and even a private tour of the medina that felt wonderfully done. The staff were so kind and took time to explain cultural details that enriched my experience. It felt like entering Morocco in the best way.

Pilar and her amazing staff have created an unforgettable space. We were lucky enough to stay in the riad in its infancy. There were a couple of options that weren’t available yet but Pilar and her staff made us feel like it was our home for two days and we are almost as excited as she is to see her vision come to life. If you are looking for beauty, peace, finishing touches everywhere you look, and warm, smiles that remind you of your own family, Free People Riad has it all abundantly. Mucho Gusto!!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional Experience I've stayed at this newly opened riad multiple times, and it consistently exceeds expectations with its perfect balance of tranquil retreat and social atmosphere. By social I mean it is friendly, but it is also peaceful. The thoughtfully designed accommodation features a comfortable bedroom plus a separate room with daybed setup, while the rooftop area provides essential relief from Marrakech's summer heat and doubles as a perfect exercise space/wellness area. The delicious breakfast offers impressive variety, the staff's warmth creates genuine hospitality (including arranging perfect in-room massages), and the terrace naturally brings guests together for wonderful conversations with fellow travelers. Despite being in a peaceful location, the riad maintains a lovely social, but calming energy that creates those special travel connections. The beautiful, recently renovated spaces show perfect attention to detail, and the consistent excellence across multiple stays makes this my go-to recommendation for anyone visiting Marrakech - whether first-time or repeat visitors seeking a peaceful base with character, comfort, and genuine hospitality.

Everything about our stay was amazing! Pilar, the owner, arranged our airport transfer. Upon arrival, Ryuk greeted us at the vehicle, took our luggage, and walked us to the Riad door. We were welcomed with a hand washing followed by a tea service as we registered. A tuk tuk was then arranged to get us to dinner. He was so helpful throughout our stay. The riad is even more beautiful than pictured. The beds are so comfortable. The rooms are well appointed and the staff is very attentive. Every morning we had a wonderful breakfast on the terrace. The food was lovingly prepared by Fatima. I think about that breakfast, especially the tea and yogurt daily. Pilar was a joy! She was so helpful. She provided us with walking routes on the days we wanted to explore with points of interest we would have missed otherwise. I miss her and her sweet dog, LL. We were truly made to feel like family during our stay. I have no notes! Don’t miss your opportunity to stay here. My expectations were met and greatly exceeded. I wish I could give them 10 stars!
