Riad Tamarrakecht

The whole building itself is fabulous nice roof top too

My son (19) and I had a lovely stay here. Very comfortable, beautiful surroundings. Great location, a short walk from the main square. Lovely breakfast. The family owners were kind, welcoming and accommodating. The air-con and plunge pool were very much appreciated as we were there in searing heat.

The location was excellent and the family who run the Riad are just wonderful. So helpful, suggesting wonderful restaurants, supporting won’t organising excursions if needed and just generally lovely people.

Beautiful Riad! Quiet location and the facilities were perfect. Staff were helpful and friendly. Generous breakfast which kept me well-fuelled for all of the wandering around Marrakech.

Everything was great, family who manages the property is so kind and helpful, we are very happy that we chose this riad for our vacation.

Riad Tamarrakecht exceeded every expectation. The cleanliness was impeccable, the breakfast was absolutely delicious, and the location couldn't be more convenient for exploring Marrakech and for daytrips.
But what truly set this stay apart was Malek. She quietly organized a surprise birthday celebration — complete with a cake, candles, and live music. That kind of thoughtfulness is rare and unforgettable.
This is not just a place to sleep. It's a place where people genuinely care about you. We will absolutely be back.

Amazing family that runs the place. Absolutely fantastic hospitality. Special thanks to Mokhtar and everyone else there.
Perfect breakfast.
Getting a cab on the last day was tough - they organised for someone to walk about with our luggage to the taxi stand.

Our hosts were amazing, helping us arrange tuk tuks, making dinner reservations, and generally making our stay easy and comfortable. The breakfast was amazing.

The staff were great very helpful

A lovely peaceful place in the chaos of Marrakech. Friendly, helpful staff and comfortable rooms with a spacious roof terrace and tasty breakfast. Not too far to all the sights of the city.

During our stays in Morocco we had the pleasure to visit a few riads and believe us Riad Tamarrakecht is once and only.
It is located in the center of the old town and still so quiet like to be somewhere far from the city. Within a few minutes walk you can reach the heart of Marrakech -Jamaa el Fna Square, outstanding Medresa ibn Jusuf or beautiful Bahia Palace.
From the very beginning you are warmly welcomed by smiling staff. Of Course with companion fresh mint tea and delicious sweets.
When it is really hot outside and you want to cool down you can jump to the shaded pool. After an evening walk along charming streets you can rest on the rooftop where you can relax and look at stars.
Our room was so perfect! We fell in love with stained windows. It was so magic to see so many colourful beams in our room. Have to admit that we used the room fridge quite often to keep our drinks cold.
Can not describe all of the prons of our stay in Riad Tamarrakech. We will definitely go back there.

This a family owned place where they make you feel like you are part of the family. From the first day they took care of everything to make sure we have the best experience ever. They explain all you need about staying in Marrakech, gave us tips about the city and helped with everything possible. Rooms are beautiful, spacious and clean, the whole place is stunning like from a fairytale. Kitchen is unbelievable, all freshly cooked and served with love. We were a group of friend from 4 different countries and we all loved the place and the people. I recommend this place to everyone who wants great and unforgettable time in Marrakech. We celebrated new year in the riad and this was the best decision we made for this year. It was pure fun, all organized by this gentle, good hearted family. Thank you. See you soon

Dear Fatima we can’t describe how happy we were to celebrate the New Year’s Eve with you and your amazing family in your riad! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Thanks to you we had the best experience in Marrakech! Please send our best regards to your mom who cooked for us at 10.30 p.m, to yours sisters who helped us with the dances and the rest of your amazing family for the attention and the help.

To all of the people who are searching for the best experience in Marrakech just choose this place! Fatima will make your stay unforgettable!

Lovely riad, staff was very helpful, they really helped us with everything we asked. It’s a very beautiful and peaceful place just outside the bustle of the city. We had a wonderful vacation there, the roof terrace was very nice to relax and also the breakfast was very good.

We had a wonderful stay at Tamarakecht. Sara and her family were wonderful hosts and really made sure that everything was accommodated for us. As a group of 3 women, we really felt she looked out for us and gave us lots of tips for navigating Marrakech. The riad itself is beautifully decorated and the rooms have everything you could need - safe, fridge, hairdryer etc. Breakfast was also amazing! We would highly recommend this riad to a group of friends to stay at.

The hospitality was second to none. This family run Riad is a beautiful oasis in the dusty and chaotic medina of Marrakech. Sara and Moktare were incredible hosts and gave so much of their time to ensure that every guest's needs were attended to. They painstakingly gave us directions around the Medina, info on taxi prices and tips on navigating the city. Their help was invaluable and ensured we felt safe. They were always very kind and courteous. I have not experienced this level of welcome anywhere else in my travels. This is an absolutely beautiful riad. The rooms were immaculate. Breakfast was very filling and tasty and the dinner we had on the first night was delicious. There's also a beautiful relaxing roof terrace. And don't forget to immerse yourself in the beautiful small inside pool strewn with rose petals!!!
Morocco is such a diverse country with many wonderful sights to be seen. But being introduced to such a warm welcome in such a beautiful riad sets the tone for your experience.
I would recommend having the Riad arrange a taxi to get you from the airport to the Riad. The medina streets can be chaotic and quite confusing, and Google maps isn't always reliable. Cars cannot come into the Medina at certain times and certainly not the narrow streets to get to the riad. It will save you time and be less stressful having the driver take you there.

riad is exactly in the middle of the old madina, right in the middle of life, but because it is in a small side street, it is so quiet away from the hustle and bustle. it was an excellent experience for us. breakfast to suit all tastes. rooms are immaculate. There is a very nice ambiance where you can watch the sunrise on the terrace. The interior of the riad is magnificently furnished and takes you away. a very warm family run business, they were very helpful in every way. We were informed on many issues even before we boarded the plane from Turkey. At this point, I would like to thank Sara the most. for making us feel at home and safe and informing us about everything with his tireless high energy.

The most amazing experience as being in the Medina coming back to this Riad, family run and the food is sublime cooked by Mama.
Love the family and all and we will come back here definitely.
Lots of love and will be missed with the craziness outside .
Thank you for the warm hospitality and the love.

We are so thankfull to our hosts for a wonderful stay at their Riad! We were really delighted with the pleasant reception, fantastic service, wonderful atmosphere and support in exploring the city. Marrakesh is fantastic, it made an amazing impression on us and we will be happy to come back here again! And recommend to our friends Riad Tamarrakecht as the perfect place for a dream vacation and ideal location for a stay in Marrakesh, Morocco. Beautiful, sparkling clean, friendly atmosphere, perfect service and amazing location in the centre of old Medina (what gives you the unique possibility to observe Moroccans’ way of living and experience the true, less touristy vibe of the City!
In particular however, we were delighted with Fatima, who made sure that our stay and all the experiences while visiting the city were fantastic and unforgettable. Fatima is a wonderful, unique and beautiful person who devoted to us a lot of time to us and took care of the smallest details, explaining how to get to places we wanted to see, organising the transport, giving lots of practical guidelines and tips, as well as organizing us a trip to Agafay dessert (which was also amazing). And the map she prapared was a life saver!!

We had the opportunity to stay in this sweet hotel during our trip to Marrakech.

We felt at home because of the beauty of the environment and the fact that it is a family hotel. As soon as you enter the hotel's door, you find yourself in an oasis in the desert.

Tea and sweets are served to you at the entrance. It was really enjoyable to stay in this hotel with two pools. We took beautiful pictures together and had a great time. We stayed in a room on the second floor overlooking the pool. It was quite spacious and the room facilities were adequate.

If you happen to be in Marrakech, your first alternative should be this hotel. We would love to stay again on our next visit.

Thanks for everything.

The Riad is a dream, everything, everything but everything is a dream, from the owners to the facilities, I don't know where it starts, the owner Fatima is a charming person, she is super friendly, very sweet, she explains everything in detail for you to enjoy. From marrakech without worries, she had a very great detail with us and offered us the honey mood suite for the price of a simple room, the breakfast is spectacular, everything is very fresh and top quality, the rooms are dreamy, actually all the The person who works in that Riad are super affectionate and very friendly, and before I forget, they cannot leave Marrakech without having tried the food that Fatima's mother cooks waooooooo my God, it is extremely incredible I swear that it is the best food I have. I have eaten in all of Marrakech, that lady cooks with a lot of love and with super fresh ingredients, please if you stay in this riad you will never regret it, thanks for everything and until next time

My friend and I were fortunate to find this gem of a Riad in Marrakech. The attention to detail did not go unnoticed from the moment we walked in and were greeted. This riad Is owned and operated by a local Moroccan family. which is a value we found to be a huge plus (support local Moroccans). We were greeted with Moroccan green tea and sweets upon arrival & instantly felt at home amongst the hustle & bustle of Marrakech. The family is incredibly welcoming and accommodating available for questions they went above & beyond by giving us tips on making our way through the medina like a local. The room we stayed in was over looking the pool and the AC during the scorching July heat was a true blessing! The value in staying at a riad (in particular this one) is the attention & true Moroccan hospitality that you receive. The room was clean, had plenty of electrical outlets (more than the 4 star hotel we had stayed at prior to). It is nestled in the heart of the Medina, centrally located & a practical 10-15 min walk to Jemaa el-Fna. We also had the BEST breakfast in all of Morocco at this riad. I highly recommend it, the riad is beautiful it makes for great pictures ( if that’s your thing) .

This Riad truly is a delightful place to stay. Within easy walking distance of the square the moment you step through the door the tranquillity of the place welcomes you in. Beautifully maintained and fabulous attention to detail. Wonderful hosts who ensure that you have all the information you need. The rooftop terrace is a peaceful place to relax and enjoy the sunshine. Bedrooms a good size and a fabulous bathroom. Clean towels every day. Couldn’t have chosen a better place to stay!!!

Me and my wife stayed for a week and the best time. The rooms were comfortable and classy, the common room spectacularly beautiful and the roof terrace was the absolute best. We were there in January and practically no one used it, so we had it all to ourselves. Our stay included breakfast, which was always plentiful and with plenty of choices - served at the table. We loved the cats and the birds, making it feel even more like an oasis. We had minor issues with WiFi but our receptionist Moktar made up for it by being constantly helpful and generous. For my wife's birthday he bought a beautiful cake and a rose for her, and when I lost my passport he walked around the city looking for it. Moktar was a welcome break from the hustling mentality of the Medina - and he wasn't out for a tip. A true friend!

Moktar, his sister and family were the best hosts we could have wished. The Riad is amazing, beautifully decorated and super calm. They arranged airport pick up and drop off and also an amazing tour to Ouarzazate.
The breakfast was amazing. I’ll sure be coming back!

Just WOW! I don't even know how to start. First of all we were a group of 13 so imagine the challenge, but Sara and her brother managed everything surprisingly great! They welcomed us with fresh mint tea and traditional moroccan treats, they were kind and made us feel in home! The Riad itself is beyond beautiful full of fresh flowers and bright colors! Beautiful rooms with amazing moroccan decor.

But, I don't want to finish telling what Sara made for us. We hasn't too much time in Marrakech so our itinerary was pretty tight, we don't even has the time to have breakfast, when she noticed that she texted me asking at what time we will be back to the Riad that day, I told her we were at the desert tour and that we will be back at 8:30 pm. Sara just made the most beautiful surprise for all of us at our arrival! She arranged an amazing breakfast (brunch at 9 pm lol) for us to try the most DELICIOUS moroccan breakfast. Wow! Thank you very much Riad Tamarrakecht and a BIG thank you to Sara and her family! Do not hesitate to have the most beautiful time here!

This time around, we avoided the busy jamaa lefna square and wanted to stay in the local part of the medina. We were not disappointed, you get to see daily real life of the Marrakechis in the medina without the tourist scams and the hassle of the busy part.

The riad itself is lovely, typical Moroccan Maure decor. Tiles, pottery, berber rugs... the roof terrace is beautiful, perfect to sip on a cup of tea and relax.

The staff is welcoming, you get a pot of tea and sweets when you arrive. The riad is a family business and it’s a great value for money deal.

Important: there’s a parking 5min away for 15-20dhs per day.

A very beautiful and peaceful riad, the hosts are very welcoming and generous. The position is ideal, not far from a public parking, and in a more calm location in the medina without the tourist traps...

My husband and I had a fabulous two night stay here for our first time in Marrakesh. We really couldn’t have stayed anywhere better. The Riad is absolutely beautiful and full of charm in an excellent location in the heart of the Medina. We can’t thank Fatima enough for all her useful advice and tips which made our stay so perfect. It was wonderful to eat freshly prepared Moroccan food and everything was delicious. We had a fridge, fruit and hairdryer in the room and toiletries in the bathroom. We love walking and found everywhere walkable from this location and also felt very safe. We would highly recommend visiting Jardin Majorelle, Bahia Palace, El Badi Palace and the Saadian tombs but our absolute favourite place was the peace and tranquility of the Jardin Secret. On arrival at the airport make sure you complete a disembarkment form - to speed things up you could do it in the customs queue. You will need to get your boarding card stamped at your airline check in desk on departure before going through security and fill in a boarding card too.

Excellent stay at Riad Tamarraecht. Fatima was amazing with tips etc for Marrakesh and the breakfast was best we had in Morocco. Location was perfect. This was a little gem in the middle of Marrakesh.
