Such a friendly, caring and relaxing place. Lovely rooms, courtyard and roof terrace. Great being right in the souks. Wonderful massage on site. Would definitely return.

The Riad is lovely. Entering it you step into a quiet oasis. We were nicely welcomed. The manager did get us a local SIM card within 10 mins after our arrival. We have had hammam and massage which were both a lovely experience. We have had a nice dinner on our first night. We have had the chance to meet with the French couple who owns now the Rijad They are very nice and with their heart the Rijad will be only more fantastic after the small reparations they plan, to give back the full beauty.

The location was good. The staff were exceptionally nice and helpful; particularly Yusef and Hakim. The Riad was beautifully furnished and a lovely cool oasis in the bustle of the Medina
9,6 /10
The Riad is beautifully restored and has a very cozy vibe. They offer a lot of information about the Riad, Marrakech, Morocco and everything you could be interested in during your stay.

The staff were fantastic. Youssef greeted us at 12am when we arrived and ensured we had an excellent 3 course meal at 1am! It was much appreciated. Location was perfect for getting to the souks. The riad was beautiful and the rooms well decorated. The bed was comfortable and rooms were clean. Breakfast was simple but tasty. We particularly enjoyed the fresh orange juice and fried pancake. It was excellent value for money.

such a beautiful litle Riad. Lovel yna dclean without being over the top.
10 /10
The Riad is beautiful, especially the courtyard and also our room was full of traditional decoration and was very ornate. The location is great as you can walk to most places quite easily, although it was quite tricky to find it the first time! Despite the crazy hubbub outside the riad was lovely and quite inside.

A beautifully relaxing riad. All the staff are wonderful. Hakim and Yousef went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. Evening meals were delicious.
Thoroughly recommended.

More of a home than a hotel. Very helpful and friendly staff who greet you with a broad smile when you find your way back from the souk! Perfect central location.

Hakim and Youssef are fantastic hosts. They make you feel right at home. They helped arrange tours and transportation, recommended restaurants, fixed things right away. They are both extremely polite and you feel genuinely welcomed at the property. We had dinner there as well and it was delicious. We also used the hammam and it was lovely. Location is amazing, right on the Medina.
10 /10
Great location for exploring the Medina. Hakim and Ucef were so friendly and helpful, they really couldn’t do enough to ensure that our stay was a pleasant one. The double room had beautiful decor and was comfortable. Would be more than happy to stay again.

I really like the way the staff accommodate me. The Riad does not have a gym but they suggested to use the terrase upstairs to do my workout. The personnel well very helpful in every request or query we had.

Beautiful and relaxing riad. A bit further out from the main square, but it was actually really nice to get away from the craziness at the end of the day. The staff were all incredibly helpful, always ready to answer any questions or help us out in any way. The breakfast was great - yogurt, bread, pastries and an omelette if you felt like it.
10 /10
Staff extremely friendly and helpful, treating us like family - nothing too much trouble to make sure we got the most out of our stay in Marrakech, from organising taxi transfers to the airport to providing detailed instructions on how to get back to the Riad from the main square (indispensable!). We loved the character of the Riad, especially the beautiful courtyard, and its location which was convenient for the main square and most of the Old City sights. We also very much enjoyed the breakfasts which were part of our package at the Riad, and the delicious dinners which we opted for on a couple of evenings.
10 /10
Spent three nights at Riad Rafaele in mid-October and it was a memorable holiday. This Riad is an amazing oasis in the middle of the Medina that we used to look forward to returning to each day as we went exploring Marrakesh. We booked three rooms and all were beautifully decorated and utterly comfortable; the food was delicious and most importantly we were made to feel so much at home. Our favourite moments were sitting in the courtyard early morning amidst the Orange trees with birds flitting about; and at dusk listening to the call of the muezzin on the roof top terrace.
Thank you to all the staff at Riad Rafaele for making us feel so at home and making it a magical holiday for us. We highly recommend Riad Rafele to all who are planning to visit Marrakesh.
We look forward to returning some day.

Amazing staff.
Nice breakfast. not too much choice, but very good quality and enough of everything
Good location. Very close to the souks, around 10-15 min walk to djemaa el fna
Possibly the prettiest place we have ever staid. The contrast to the chaos outside couldn't be starker.
Good dinner! But quite pricey
Room: staid in the big suite, which was beyond spacious and had really nice details design wise
9,2 /10
We really enjoyed our stay at the Riad Rafaele. The owner and staff were all friendly and helpful. The location of the Riad is great, very centrally located in the medina and easy to walk anywhere. The Riad is beautiful and has a lovely garden and rooftop terrace. Even though it is centrally located, once you are inside the doors it is very quiet and is like an oasis. Our room was also clean and nicely decorated. We would definitely recommend staying here.

The staff and owner were very friendly and went out of their way to ensure we had a great stay. We were glad to have chosen Riad Rafaele as the very first riad to experience! Staying here definitely contributed to our Morocco experience(:

Excellent, again. It was my second visit to Marrakesh and again I stayed at the Rafaele. Again everyone was super friendly, I was very welcomed and I felt home the first minute I got there. A bliss!

A hidden pleasant scented oasis within the frantic chaos of the old city, I would stay here again. Excellent staff, very helpful regarding taxi trips and excursions . Evening meal was delicious, Room was comfortable and full of character.
10 /10
This is the jewel of Riads. I was blown away from the minute I stepped through the amazing front doors. The staff went above and beyond for me. As a first time traveller to Marrakech and a single woman., they could not have been more helpful and obliging. From organising tours, to calling taxis, Offers to walk to restaurants with me. My room was stunning I was in room 7 then moved to number 3 as I extended my stay for 1 more night. Lots of little cafes close by for dinner. The roof top Terrance is stunning as is the gorgeous little pool. Perfect to cool off in after a busy day wandering the Médina. I can’t rate this highly enough.

The patio and the garden of the Riad were amazing.

Yusef was our first and last point of contact at the Riad. He was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond to meet our every need (including getting me a toothbrush). He was warm and friendly and made sure we were well taken care of. He wold be up to make us breakfast when we need to be out at ridiculous times (6.30 am) and get was there to welcome us back with some hot tea when we came in late after our evening festivities in the medina. Yusef was also very helpful with restaurant recommendations and directions to various places.
We especially liked how authentic the Riad was. It did not try to be European. Each room was unique with its own key features. we had the pleasure of staying in two room during out stay and both were amazing and so comfortable. The lighting may have been a bit dull for some but it was perfect for me it showcased typical Moroccan lights.
We really enjoyed the breakfast it was varied each day. and Yusef made sure there was something special on each day.
The highlight of my stay at the Riad was the hammam. I cannot descibed in words what a royal experience that was. All I can say is try it for yourself!!! The lady who did my hamman and massage was so gentle and very nice she took really good care and made you feel royal!

Of the three places we stayed in, this had the most comfortable bed and room and, very importantly, in the freezing week we happened to be there in, a radiator which kept the room warm, an absolute god send. Very close to the main attractions.

The staff was very friendly and helpful, also the riad by itself is very beautiful! Location is good, just have to be careful from people lying to you about the closed roads etc

What a fabulous, comfortable and Relaxing 4 nights in Riad Rafaele. We arrived at nearly midnight and were greeted by Hakim at our taxi drop off point a few metres from the Riad. We were treated to hot mint tea and shown to our beautiful room. Over our stay here nothing was too much trouble for the lovely staff. The food was great and the atmosphere was very relaxing in this beautiful historic building.
We stayed at the Riad in October. It is a very tranquil Riad very close to the soukes. The staff were all lovely and the food excellent. The staff were very helpful calling taxis for us. The hammann and massage was very relaxing and very professional. We were upgraded to a junior suite which was lovely, the marble bath and bath products were very welcome after a long day out in the heat and dust.
The Riad Rafaele was authentic and had this historic and charming feel. The staff were very helpful and we met the owners who were very friendly.
Spacious rooms, clean and we had an amazing experience staying in a boutique style Riad.
We got the Hammam and massage done and it was an incredible experience. I would recommend one done when in Marrakech.
This small 8 roomed riad is a haven in the middle of the Madina. The staff are all very friendly and helpful.some do not speak English but still go out of their way to make your stay pleasant. We dinned in a few nights and the food was amazing. Hakim booked tours for us and the driver Jassine was great taking us to off the standard tourist places. All in all I would highly recommend staying at this riad.
We had a stay of 4 days in this Riad. Perfect location in the centre of the medina. Really a place where it is peacefull and quiet. Especialy a great thank you to our host and his staff. Really friendy and helpfull people who made our stay perfect!
We spent a week in the beautiful Rait. From the moment we arrived to the morning we left, the staff although English is not their main.language went out of their way to us fell comfortable.
Dinning in was no problem with fresh local produced for what ever time you wanted it.
If you get lost in the Medina, just call the Raid and one of the staff will come and find you. Harlem the housekeeper / manage booked two excursions using a local company. The driver Yassine was amazing, took to pleased not seen by most tourists.
All in all this stay by far exceeded all my expectations of the city and country.
The staff were really friendly and gave a great welcome. The peace and quiet within it's walls is something you don't get to experience very often....It is truly an oasis in the middle of all the hustle of Marrakech. The square is only a 10 minute walk through the Medina and there are a number of good restaurants local to the riad....highly recommend
we really enjoyed our stay in this Riad, the owner Hakim and his lovely staff made our holiday complete.
The hammam and massage are superb and you have to do it during your stay.
if you like dinner will be served
one word “RELAX”
The staff were friendly,magnificent room and the sorounddings inside Riad was really captivating.you are like living in a century like house.i would really recommend this Riad to my friends and family.
I spent a week in RIAD Rafaele this past July. The first thing I became aware of as I entered the RIAD was the lovely courtyard, with a swimming pool, colorful carpets carefully placed around and the lovely birds that were singing as if welcoming me. The courtyard has a couple of sections that welcome relaxation as well as several tables to have breakfast or dinner. I chose the area on the left for breakfast and the table on the right for dinner which were decorated with rose petals!. ((The dinners were carefully prepared--try the Lamb Tagine hmmm--with Salad --- and absolutely delish.)
Early afternoon on my first day, I met Valerie and Tom, owners of the RIAD Rafaele. Their friendliness, and professional attitude won me over. They invited me to join them and a group of friends for appetizers and drinks early that afternoon, which I did. I was even able to practice a bit of my forgotten French! The Rooms are large and super clean, food is fresh and bountiful and the girls and keepers of the RIAD (Hakim and Youssef) are always available for help or to give directions, find guides etc...
Valerie and Tom are upgrading the RIAD and have placed new carpets throughout. I want to thank both of you, for your help, friendship and especially, for making me feel a part of the family. The RoofTop late wine glass and appetizers were a nice touch. Thank You!

We loved staying at this beautiful riad. it was always great to come back to this quiet place in the middle of Marrakesch. the rooms are beautiful, authentic and very clean. we just had breakfast at the riad, but that alone was perfect. marrocan style but similar to a european breakfast. the people that work at the rias are very friends, speak good english and help out with everything you could need. there is someone there 24/7.
we absolutly loved our stay and we wiuld come again, next time we go to marrakesch.
Friendly people, good rooms and excellent location in the heart of medina. They make everything possible with a smile. It‘s a nice contrast to the lively, loud and colourful old town. You feel like coming into a small paradise.
We had a great time in Riad Rafaele, Hakim kindly rescued us from a random car park we found miles away from the place. Hakim guides us to nearby secure park.Hakim offered us delicious Moroccan tea and biscuits. The room was specious and tastefully decorated. The evening meal lamb tagine came with the most delicious Moroccan salad and would have been enough for four people easily. Central location and homely feel. Highly recommend it.
We stayed here for 4 nights and had a very pleasant experience. We booked standard double room but not sure if that was given to us. Yousuf was very helpful and really friendly chap. Could do with some upgrades but not bad.
Everyone who works at Riad Rafaele was super nice and hospitable. We had the largest suite and it was beautiful. Highly recommend staying here. It’s not the cheapest in Marrakech but it is luxurious for a decent price.
Riad is beautifully restored and offers authentic accommodations. We booked 2 rooms and each was designed differently but equally beautifully. The rooftop terrace is nice for some relax after your sightseeing. Common areas on the ground floor are very elegant.
Riad is conveniently located in the Medina and there are several nice restaurants around (Atay Cafe, Nomad), with souq and Jema el Fna just a few minutes walking distance.
Breakfast was good in terms of quality and a bit poor in terms of quantity (comparing to other riads we visited later). During breakfast time we were personally greeted by the owner which was very kind.
Do not book tours at riad as we got much cheaper price outside through the agency. It was a bit disappointing as I would expect no rip-offs in such well managed place.
We stayed for two nights and the staff were not only welcoming but thoughtful too. Rooms very comfortable and colourful. A great place to relax after the frantic pace of the Medina. Food much enjoyed, as was a bottle of Rose! Mint tea perfect at the end of the day. Tips about eating out lived up to expectations and the taxi, booked by the Riad on our behalf, to be recommended. A very pleasant experience, thank you.
We stayed for four nights and really enjoyed our stay, nothing was too much trouble and the setting was really lovely. its worth noting that its close to a mosque and so you will be disturbed every morning (about 4.40am while we stayed) by the early morning call to prayer that seemed to go on for ages).
We had dinner here on our first night and it was lovely food and wine, served in an amazing setting and we had the place to ourselves. You need to order in advance so it can be cooked for you and its really good traditional food.
Great place. We arrived at 11:30 PM and Youssef was so kind to do a check in at the garden launch with tea and cookies! The Riad is located very centrally, absolutely what a traveller would be looking for in Marrakech. Hakeem was also very kind to give us a check out souvenier. The staff who cleaned the rooms and preparing breakfast were all nice people. I have only good memories of this place.
