Riad Mehdia

Riad Medhia is a sanctuary of calm nestled in the bustling Marrakech medina. We were treated so well by Mohammed and the team and instantly felt at home as soon as we arrived. The location is perfect, just a few minutes walk from the main square which connects the souks and also near tourist spots like Bahia Palace etc. However, the street the riad is on is much quieter and we felt very safe being there. There are lots of nice restaurants nearby, we loved a Lebanese restaurant called Naranj that’s right around the corner. The riad has been lovingly restored and has so many interesting, historical features such as the original old wooden doors and locks. It has been decorated in both the traditional Berber and Arabic styles and is a delight to relax in after spending a day in the souks! The rooms are spacious and clean with aircon for the warmer nights. There is also a lovely secluded rooftop which we relaxed on with a mint tea most afternoons. The breakfast is also delicious with lots of different traditional options rotated each day. We must give a special shout out to Mohammed, he couldn’t do enough for us and helped us organise airport transfers, bus tickets and an amazing medina tour. He was also really helpful and sympathetic when my partner felt unwell. Just a note, you will hear a lot of birdsong in the mornings but we loved hearing our resident feathered friends! We cannot recommend this place enough and would not hesitate to come back here when next in Marrakech :)

5* service - the staff are so attentive and helpful with any questions you have! The riad is very beautiful, a traditional place in an ideal location in the medina centre. Breakfasts were lovely- a mix of bread, pancakes, omelettes and cakes (changed every day!) with a fruit smoothie, coffee or Moroccan mint tea. We also had a Hammam and massage here, both of which were very relaxing. Would thoroughly recommend, they took good care of us for our week stay even making us Thyme tea when one of us was ill!
