Nice Ryad in the heart of the Medina.

It was a pleasure meeting Daniel who was interesting to talk to and gave us lots of information about things to see and do as well as restaurant recommendations. Ali was very helpful with transfers etc. I think staying at a Ryad is a must for any trip to Morocco. We were very happy with our accommodations.

A bit of Royalty

A great Riad just 2 mins walk away from the square. The team who run this place are amazing and the property is gorgeous. They were also so helpful in making sure we knew where to go and organising taxis for trips to Ait Benhaddou. We stayed in the Royal suite which was huge and great for a family stay. Would recommend this riad for your stay.

Beautiful Riad. Ali and Daniel were excellent as well as all the staff. Airport transfer as well as train transfer went well. We stayed 5 nights. If you are a light sleeper you may want to stay elsewhere because of early morning prayers wake you up at 4:30-5 am every morning

Relaxing and comfortable stay

I had a fantastic stay at Riad El Borj, it was my first time in Marrakesh and Morocco and as a solo traveller feeling comfortable is so important, and I felt comfortable here. The environment was beautiful with bougainvillea flowers, orange trees and a beautiful cat, a sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of the souks. Everyone was very friendly and helpfull, lovely breakfast too.

I had such an amazing time at this Ryad! The staff is super friendly and helpful. The Ryad is walking distance from many historical sites which is convenient if you don’t want to spend a lot of money on transportation. Ali was sooooo nice! He really made my stay wonderful. I highly recommend this Ryad.

Fantastic place :)

This riad is a gem in the old Medina. Very spacious, clean, beautiful. The host and the staff were very friendly and ensured we have the most comfortable stay. Even on one of the days we woke up very early to take a day tour they gave us a small bag with breakfast to take with us. These things count to make your stay more and more enjoyable. I would definitely chose this riad again if I revisit Marrakesh :)

Beautiful quiet oasis in the middle of Marrakesh

Staying in Riad El Borj made our Marrakesh experience even more memorable. It’s a beautiful oasis in the middle of very busy city. All the staff was incredibly helpful and friendly, great communication from the management from the beginning. Riad is beautifully decorated and well kept, it’s full of interesting details and culture. Rooftop terrace was amazing. We stayed in the royal suite and it was just fabulous and incredibly spacious. It’s ideally located just a few minutes from the main market and the Souks. I just can’t recommend this Riad and all the people enough! What an experience!

Riad El Borj is such a lovely place to stay while in Marrakech! From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly helpful, very knowledgeable, and so welcoming.

My favorite Riad.

It’s just the best service of any Riad in the area. Daniel is caring and best of all he looks after his guests. Assured we were aware of things and what to avoid. Felt like he was family. His staff is amazing and place was so clean. It’s in the heart of the old city but tucked down an unassuming corridor so it’s a bit away from the mass hustle. I’ve stayed at a lot of Riads and this is far and away the most comfortable. The staff are far and away the best and it feels a little bit like 5 star service compared to the others. The alternate building even has a little pool.

Wonderful Stay

Had a wonderful stay at this Riad for 1 night, as we were to fly out the next morning. It's located in a central location of Marrakech and about 20 minutes from the airport. Although it was a little hard to find at first, since it's in the Medina, it was definitely worth it! I was so impressed by the hospitality of the host and the service we've received at this Riad! The rooms were clean, the beds were comfortable and the breakfast was excellent. The host went far and beyond to help us have a relaxing stay and to help us find a solution to a stressful situation. I only wish we would have stayed for more than a night, so that we could enjoy it more. Definitely recommend!
