89%Riad Massin

This was my second time in the Riad and it was like coming back home...Once stay here, you will never want to experience anything else and when coming to Marrakesh, you will end up here because you will be so well looked after...My big thanks to all there

overall good experience. the staff is really amazing and is the strongpoint of this hostel. The tea is very good, the best we had the chance to try. we would book with them again without hesitation. And you are the same distance from the Koutouba place and the new city

A fantastic place to stay for an authentic Morocco Riad. Everything is easily within walking distance, but i would get a taxi from the airport as it is difficult to find. Staff were friendly (sometimes they tried a bit too hard) but it was overall great and relaxing.

This riad is more like a home than a hostel. It is a good location, close to the wall of the medina, free mint tea and shisha, in a beautiful setting and very comfortable beds. The only setback is given that it´s a riad, it can be a bit noisy. They are wonderful people who give new meaning to...

Nice place with beautiful courtyard. Rooms and bathrooms were clean and always had hot water. My only complaints are that the employees are constantly smoking in the courtyard, which can be annoying if you don't like it. Also there isn't a good place to sit and read in the courtyard.

Great place with really friendly staff. If you have the option stay at Riad Maison 2 (owned by the same people) as its that much closer to the main square. All in all a very comfortable place with staff that are there to make your stay great

J'avais envoyé deux jours avant le séjour un mail pour annoncer le désistement d'une personne sur les 10 de la réservation... mais pas moyen d'annuler et nous avons donc du payer les 3 nuits sans possibilité de s'arranger, un peu dommage.

This place was awesome! Highly recommended..... The desert tour and the high atlas mountain tours were great fun. Also if you can definately try a humum (a traditional bathing house) with one of the staff from the Riad. Will hopefully be back for more laughs and dancing sooner than later :)

The location isn't bad, it just depends on where you want to be near - while this riad is very close to the main bus station and bab doukala, it is a 15-20 min walk away from the main square and the souks, and at night it could be a bit intidmitating especially 'cause you have to cross a lot of traffic.close
