My family and I enjoyed our stay at Riad Al Wafaa. The staff was very nice and the manager, Mohamed was very helpful. Mohamed reaches out to us prior to our trip to book tours and to answer any questions we had. The Riad serves a traditional breakfast every morning and the option for dinner at an affordable price. The food is extremely delicious! Our trip wouldn’t have been as memorable as it was if it wasn’t for our stay at Riad Al Wafaa.

Lovely clean Riad with comfy beds & good hot shower. Plenty of extra bedding as it was a bit chilly at nights. Adequate breakfast: croissants, coffee, toast, jams & honey. Mohamed’s staff were very kind & prepared our breakfast extra early before our excursion. I’d advise that you book a taxi thru him (€15) as his driver will pick you up & escort you directly to the Riad which might be a bit difficult to find on first arriving. I also found that the excursions booked thru him were cheaper than the local tour operators. Location is great, just outside the busy square but far enough to not hear the noise. Plenty of restaurants & taxis are located right around the corner. The WiFi is a bit slow in the evenings when everyone is on it but still very adequate. All in all, we had a wonderful 3 nights stay & will stay again as the Riad is beautiful & everyone was so helpful & cheerful.

Riad satisfaisant

Le Riad est très bien situé : à 15 minute à pied de la fameuse place Jemma El fnaa, à 2 minutes du palais Badi ainsi que du palais Bahia. Nous avons été très bien reçus par le gérant. Le personnel est très aimable et à l'écoute! Une carte de la ville accompagnée de quelques conseils pratiques nous ont été proposés ainsi qu'un thé offert à l'arrivée. Le petit déjeuné est varié! Je recommande ce Riad bien que la ville de Marrakech soit loin d'être ce qu'on imagine ou ce que l'on voit à la télévision (air irrespirable, pollution palpable, vendeurs arnaqueurs, taxis voleurs, habitants INSUPPORTABLES!. En bref, cette ville est un réel piège à touriste. PS : si sur votre imprimé de réservation il est précisé que vous avez réglé le total "Toutes taxes comprises, vous ne devrez ajouter aucuns suppléments à l'arrivée et sous aucuns prétexte.

Demasiadas irregularidades

Acceso por calle estrecha y oscura. Bien situado. Habitación y desayuno correcto pero no hecha el primer día, sin artículos de aseo, desagües atascados, wifi funcionando irregular. Preguntamos por una excursión y como nos pareció cara la hicimos con otra agencia. Esto no gustó y no accedieron a servirnos el desayuno antes de las 8. Pregu tamos por traslado al aeropuerto y nos pidieron el doble de lo que se pide por coche privado en internet y el cuádruple de lo que pagamos al taxi que finalmente cogimos. Lo peor fue lo de las tasas municipales: 2,5 euros por persona (más que hoteles de superior categoría) y como no teníamos euros y no se podía pagar con tarjeta, nos hicieron un cambio abusivo a dirhams. Pedimos recibo pero no nos lo hicieron en dirhams sino en euros y por una cantidad que no se corresponde con lo que pagamos.

Lieber ohne Mietauto ankommen.

Nur ohne Auto hier ankommen. Es gibt keinen Parkplatz um auszuladen, zudem sehr schwer zu finden. Das Riad befindet sich in einer schmalen Durchgang. Sogar der Taxifahrer hatte Schwierigkeiten das Riad zu finden. Aber sonst zu Fuss prima.

God beliggende og rent sengetøj/håndklæder

God beliggenhed i en rolig ende af byen. Rent og pænt sengetøj og håndklæder. Super venligt personale (Muhammed), der er meget troværdig og som gør alt for, at man får et godt ophold. Vi boede i Grenadier-værelset, som ligger lige ud til den lille sidevej, som riaden ligger på. Til tider støj fra knallerter og trolleys, der kørte nede på gaden i løbet af natten, men andre dage helt stille.

Honest owner, speaks Good English

If you want to experience a riyad experience, this is a good budget place. Centrally located to everything in medina. Big rooms and clean bathroom, very quite at night. You might consider hotel pick up for the first time. It is not easy to fine. I reserved a airport pickup service online, which was recommended at a messageboard somewhere, but they did not show up. I took a taxi for 150 diram at 11 pm and driver was pretty decent guy. He asked around and found the riad for us. Keep in mind though, most people in Marrakech do not speak ENglish. May sound like a cliche, but Like Morocco, Marrakech is a place of huge contrasts. The medina is crowded, chaotic and full of extreme poverty everywhere, most people seem to be trying to make a living in vain. But, just the southwest of the big tower in media, it is a completely different world--beautiful boulevards lined with palm trees and exotic flowers, modern shopping malls, restaurants and incredibly beautiful parks. Jardin majorelle is the top recommendation in attraction list, but it is very small and felt like a tourist trap and not worth the 70 mad. The el harti garden gueliz is much bigger and more beautiful in my opinion. It is also free.

Nice Riad in near the old part of Marrakech

This is nice Riad near the old part of Marrakech! You can find everything in a one mile radius. The hotel staff Abdul is great! He is nice and helpful. The add on Expedia tells us it has a pool but this is a bit misleading because it's really small and you can't swim. But in overall it a great place to stay for a good price. You can order food and you can arrange tours thru Abdul! Abdul is a great and fun guy! "Keefeshhh" :) ;)
