Honestly couldn’t have wished for a better stay. There are tons of riads and we searched far and wide After we booked it a few people had said they didn’t like the area which worried it but couldn’t be further from the truth - the area is great, very accessible for taxis and only a short walk to all the action. Felt very safe The Riad itself is absolutely stunning, even better than the photos. We liked to go out so it was easy to leave but you have everything you need there and more. It’s very chilled with lots of staff to make your stay special, not small but not big with only a few people so feels like your own special place - shout out to Farouk for making our stay special

The riad common area’s are beautiful and very traditional. Breakfast is basic and light. The area wasn’t great in my opinion. It’s located right beside the north wall of Marrakesh old town which is about a 20 minute walk from the Medina. This was mostly fine but we did encounter issues with local scammers threatening us to pay them after following us while walking home claiming to be ‘offering their time to direct us’. If this is your first time in Morocco and your not used to the common tricks these obnoxious hustlers do, then I would recommend staying closer to the medina (if you want the old town experience) or in proper hotel in the new town, as this is less likely to happen in the touristy areas from what I saw. Also, the hotel offer dinner on the first night through message after you book. As we arrived around dinner time we asked if they could prepare for us about 3 days before. When we arrived they didn’t know what we were talking about when we mentioned it. This was annoying as the riad doesn't have a make to order restaurant, you need to give them a lot of notice.

Road Charai was absolutely lovely from start to finish. When we arrived we were greeted with Moroccan tea and biscuits, shown to our room in which they upgraded us with no extra cost to a deluxe suite room, and told about the lunch and dinner services they provide. Staff were lovely and attentive, breakfast was included every morning consisting of pastries, coffee and omelette. The pool space was very chilled and the rooftop loungers quiet. The riad is situated close to the outskirts of the medina wall so it was a short walk to taxis and small shops/stalls. Would highly recommend for a short stay in a more traditional accommodation than your usual hotel.

Excellent.

Dreamy Riad , breathtaking decor , amazing staff serving amazing food. We stayed for 3 nights wish we had booked longer. They organised spa treatments for us also and transfers. We stayed to celebrate my 50th birthday and the staff sang to me and gave me cake , such a lovely gesture and I felt so special. It’s more towards the north of the medina so about 20-30 minutes walk to the square and many of the restaurants I wanted to visit but with maps we managed the medina very well , enjoying the narrow streets and souks. All part of the experience I came for.

I was nervous about this trip. Our first Riad cancelled on us. I had to book this one last minute. They were nothing short of amazing. They had a car meet us at the airport and dinner ready for us the first night even though we got there late. The room was clean and the staff was amazing. We also received spa services which were fantastic!

Riad Charai was the perfect experience. The Riad is decorated beautifully and provides a relaxing sancturary away from the business of Marrakech. The staff were wonderfully accommodating and the chef prepared some delicious food for us on a couple of occasions. We also enjoyed the spa treatments on site and would highly recommend. The location is about a 20 min walk from the more central parts of the city, however we also ate at some brilliant restaurants much closer (about a 10 min walk). It can feel like a bit of a maze trying to navigate back to the Riad and we had a couple of frustrating experiences with local 'guides' who couldn't take no for an answer, however not the fault of the Riad and they gave great advice for navigating the city on our arrival. Overall a wonderful experience, brilliant value for money and would recommend to anyone visiting Marrakech!
