Even the French can’t find anything to criticise about Riad Rafaele! A little oasis of peace in the middle of the busy Medina. The staff is amazing and always goes the extra mile to accommodate. The bedrooms are large, clean and welcoming and the massages very needed after a long day walking in the Souk. Definitely recommend this property.

Beautiful riad in a perfect location!

Don’t look any further, book this riad! My wife and I stayed here during our time in Marrakech. The owners and staff are incredibly welcoming and the property itself is a dream. We enjoyed watching the sunsets and drinking wine from the rooftop patio. We also booked a couples hamman (traditional Moroccan bath)/ massage and I’m still dreaming about the experience.

The Riad was a nice haven away from hustle and bustle of the markets. The owners were very helpful with tips during our stay. All of the staff were very accomodating. I especially likes that there was the shaded lounge areas to cool down after a long hot day but if you wanted some sun the terrace had plenty of areas to sit. Meals and drinks were lovely and tasty

Such a beautiful, clean, amazing location! I did lots of research on where to stay and im so glad i chose this place. The entrance seems a bit hidden but once you get into the riad, you discover such a gorgeous location. Everyone was extremely helpful and even had the opportunity to meet the owner who was friendly and assisted us with an issue himself. The food here is so good! The chicken tagine was the best i had in Morocco! Definitely going back here when i return!

This Riad was lovely. Clean and quiet. The food at the on-site restaurant was very good. The room was comfortable and the pool was great to have after some long days out. The stand out was Marwan (manager/concierge ?). He was so helpful and fun to chat with. He made our experience a step above what we expected.

A Heartwarming Stay in Marrakech

My mother and I had the most wonderful stay at Riad Rafaele! The location is absolutely perfect, a bit hidden from the rustle and bustle of the medina but simultaneously situated within a short walking distance to most of the main attractions and popular restaurants. The neighborhood was also perfect for stumbling upon all sorts of souk gems. But by far the best part of staying here was the warm welcome and daily accommodations provided by the staff and hotel owners. My mother and I have never felt safer and more well taken care of at another hotel and for that we are very grateful. Thank you Riad Rafaele for a setting the sweetest tone for a trip of a lifetime!

Our stay in Riad Rafaele was amazing. The riad is very well located, literally some steps from the souk, but it remains calm, I had the impression to leave in the country side. The staff and owners are very friendly and helpful. We received a lot of helpful tips from everyone. We had the chance to book a massage, best decision ever, it was amazing. I loved the decoration of the riad, it is bright and full of light. A big thanks to Thomas, Valerie & the staff for their hospitality 😊
