    The Riad was nice and quiet even though it was central to all the bustling markets and squares of Marrakesh. A perfect place to stay to explore the surrounding areas. Good accommodation and good sized rooms. The best part of the place was Said who made our stay there memorable. A very kind, knowledgeable, humble and helpful man. A true asset to the Riad and all it has to offer. Went out of his way time and time again to help make our stay perfect. Thank you.

    not much TBH. we stayed in the master suite, which gave us loads of space, though if I was looking to criticise the layout for the bathroom was a bit strange, you had to go through it to get to the bedroom, and the furnishings/ cupboards in there were dated.

    this property is simply brilliant. it felt authentic, and the public areas were extremely thoughtfully curated. we dined here and the food was good. the location is also very handy for the main square. eating breakfast in the terrace overlooking the roof tops of Marrakech was lovely. I must mention khalija, who was front of house and ran the place with great efficiency and confidence, extremely helpful and considerate. also mention to Hassan who looked after our every need when we dined there.

    Nothing negative. Since it was our first stay in Marrakesh we can’t say if the Riad is good value for money compared to similar places.

    Great location, exceptionally clean, lots of atmosphere, quirky layout of the property. super friendly and helpful staff (special mention to Sahid and Hassan). I recommend the airport transfer service, especially if you arrive late. The driver had to drop us off a short distance from the hotel but we were met by a hotel porter who carried our luggage and showed us the way through the Medina. Money well spent!

    Staying at the Riyad ElCade in Morocco was an exceptional experience that felt as if I was being transported back to traditional Moroccan life and culture. From the start, I was welcomed by friendly staff who made me feel right at home. The hotel itself is situated in a beautiful location, surrounded by gorgeous architecture that gives off a sense of wonder and mystery. The accommodations were perfect for a relaxing getaway, with all the amenities you would expect from a top-notch resort. The room service was excellent and always available when needed. The beds were comfortable, and the staff did their best to make sure every need was met. The highlight of my stay was the 4-course dinner in traditional Moroccan style that was served each night. Each course represented a different region or style of cuisine, ranging from Tagine cooking to Berber cuisine. But what really stood out were the fresh ingredients used to create each plate - succulent vegetables, tender meats, and exotic spices made each meal unique and special. Even better were the homemade touches such as hand-rolled couscous and freshly made breads that truly captured the flavor of Morocco's culinary heritage. Overall, my stay at Riyad El Cade was exceptional - from its stunning location to its impeccable service and delicious food, it truly provided an experience like no other. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for an unforgettable vacation in Morocco!

    It would have been good to know that the drinks from the mini bar were chargeable. There was no indication of prices and so a bit of a surprise when they were added to the bill at the end of our stay. Given the cost of the room, I would have expected drinks to be complementary or at least for it to have been clear that they were not. I think the decor in the room could do with a bit of an update, it felt slightly tired

    The staff were delightful, breakfast delicious and the room / terrace were very spacious.

    Fantastic! In the heart of the old medina, but like the oasis or the magic palace: it is very nice after the long walk throught very beautiful but a little bit crazy lanes of the old city to relax in the nice rooms full of the antique picturesque subjects and in the small swiming pool. Also the dinner in the courtyard in the evening was extremly nice

    I think it was about the actually lay out. It at so quiet there that you can hear a pin drop. Problem with that is that you can hear everyone and it disturbs your sleep. Last night there were a group of Swiss guys outside my room in the courtyard talking really loud and smoking hash till 1am so impossible to sleep. The issue with the rooms is that if they were normal hotel rooms they would be more sound insulated etc. Also my room had a window with no curtains so the light from the outside blares through flooding the room. On numerous occasions I had asked to turn the outside lights ofd as they were left on to sometimes you 1:30am in the morning. It’s a lovely old style Riyad but if you’re a very light sleeper then ask for a room away from the courtyard. My room was in the ground floor right next to all the noise and activity.

    Beautiful old Riyad. Stunning architecture. Brilliant locations. Staff were brilliant. Very attentive.

    it felt like it was shut up for winter, the furniture felt a bit tired and unloved, although it is low season, all felt a bit closed down and the property is a maze, roof terrace was a bit of a mess

    the room was very nice, a bit dark and the property is a complicated maze to get around but the room was nice and good design, the room was the best bit
