Lovely riad close to the center of all the excitement in Marrakech medina but still quiet because it is off a side street. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They walked us from the medina gate to the Riad the first day and showed us how to get around the medina. Breakfast was on the terrace and we could even order dinner in the riad if we wanted to.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Riad La Bigarade. We were able to have transport arranged to and from the airport. The breakfast was delicious. The location of the Riad is great as you are readily able to walk into the souk for shopping and eating and are able to walk to most sites you will want to visit while in Marrakesh. Despite the centrality of the location, the rooms were very peaceful and quite. We were able to come and go flexibly throughout our stay. Additionally, laundry services were available.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The riad is tucked within the alleyways of the Medina, close to all the shopping action and walking distance from the square. The rooms were spacious and clean (there was one issue, but it was taken care of promptly), but what sets the hotel apart is the service. Fahd was able to organize an airport transfer for me in the middle of the night and organize transfers to and from a conference outside the city multiple days in a row. He even was able to bring me something that I had forgotten at the hotel promptly. The breakfast and dinner were also outstanding and truly home cooked, better than most of the restaurants we had tried. Make sure you get in touch with Fahd on WhatsApp before arriving at the hotel, and you'll have a great experience.

Secret Paradise Made by so by the Staff

Staying in a Riad is the most authentic and exciting way to stay in Marrakech, putting you right in the heart of the souks and old city, walking distance from all the main local attractions. They are unique and beautiful settings allowing you privacy and serene escape in a bustling city. What really made the experience at Road Bigarode though were the staff. Zuzu and Fahd who were more than friendly and welcoming, giving safe advice and help from printing boarding tickets, to sorting local Sims to allowing you to message them on WhatsApp. They were easy to talk to, make great tea and a beautiful breakfast which welcomes local birds in the morning.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Place was decent but outdated. You get what u pay for...the manager is good at getting every penny from customers. taxi from airport is $10..,he will ask for 20 ueros, he can tell customers to be dropped off at dar maho and then have his assistant pick u up. Another thing...dinner at this riad is 25 ueros...anywhere elsewhere is like 15 ueros...i felt robbed and wont stay there again. his assistant was really good.showed me marrekesh and i had to force him to take a tip..if u r on a burget stay here, book all ur trips not with him becos his rates r high and if u have to pay him, they accept credit card...he had me believe he only accepted cash...sooo awful. Place is in tthe old medina.

Hidden Jewel of Marrakech

This is a gem of a place to stay if you want the full experience of the Medina in Marrakech. You will need good directions or simply pay a few coins to get help from those looking to lead tourists to their Riad. Once there, you will discover it is right in the heart of the Medina, with everything that this means, available within easy walking distance. La Bigarade has just undergone a complete but sympathetic refurbishment. You get the full mix of what a Riad should offer; cool central courtyard, Arabic features and a roof facility where a full, delicious Moroccan breakfast is served, which should get you through most of the day. The bedrooms are also fully refurbished with modern 'wet-room' facilities. Add to this the most pleasant staff who simply cannot do enough to make you feel like honoured guests. Overall, it is probably as close to a five-star experience as you are likely to get anywhere within the Medina. Don't pass this gem by - I'm so glad I didn't.

Liked: Cleanliness
The rooms were adequate and staff were excellent. Breakfast and dinner were very good. We had 2 issues: our train station pickup was 50 minutes late and one of our rooms had a terrible sewage smell. With bathroom door closed and wet towels on floor for insulation the room was barely tolerable and we were moved after one night. Other rooms were fine. Avoid room 6!

Einfach mit freundlichen Mitarbeitenden

Das Hotel liegt tief im Inneren des Basars und ist nicht leicht zu finden, jedoch wird man abgeholt und gebracht. Im Hotel gibt es wenige Zimmer um einen Innenhof. Die Zimmer sind sehr einfach gehalten, es gibt eine Klimaanlage jedoch nicht überall Glasfenster. Auch gibt es nicht einen Fernseher in jedem Zimmer und wenn es ihn gibt, dann gibt es kein Programm.Die Mitarbeiter sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.

Simple, friendly and well located Riad about 10 walk through the network of small streets of the oldest Medina of Marrakech. Fahd and his team were extremely friendly, respectful and did everything they could to make the 4 of us feel welcomed and comfortable. Great home cooked breakfast. They helped us organize transportation a few days before our arrival from the airport and to our next destination. Definitely recommend.

Varmt rekommenderad Riad i Medina, Marakesh.

Mycket vacker riad inom murarna på Medina, Marakesh. Väldigt centralt belägen och extremt vänligt mottagande. De flesta riads i verkar ligga på skumma bakgator och även denna, men innanför entrén öppnade sig en oväntat vacker, moderniserad, ljus innegård med ett tiotal rum med egna badrum. Bemötandet var väldigt vänligt, De pratade bra engelska och en god frukost ingick i priset
