Our stay at Riad Rafaele & Spa was absolutely wonderful. From the moment we arrived, we were amazed by the hospitality, cleanliness, and stunning decor. The riad truly feels like a peaceful oasis tucked away in the souks — quiet, safe, and beautifully designed. We stayed on the ground floor, and our room was both beautiful and serene. The attention to detail in the decor was incredible, and the washroom was modern and spotless while still keeping a traditional Moroccan charm with stone finishes. A special thank you to Brahim and Souleymane, who went above and beyond throughout our stay. They were always available, friendly, and attentive — helping us with our luggage, keeping our water refilled, giving us helpful local tips, arranging taxis, and even walking us to meet them. Their kindness and hard work truly made our stay so much better. We also had a photographer come to take pictures of my husband and me, and the staff were so accommodating — even serving tea to him while he waited for us. Overall, everything about this riad exceeded our expectations. It’s a hidden gem that combines comfort, culture, and genuine Moroccan hospitality. We would highly recommend it and would love to return!

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.

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!

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!

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 😊

This place is a true oasis!!! The rooms and the entire riad are modern and bright. The breakfast is excellent for a balanced start to the day. Thomas and his team are indescribably lovely and read every wish from your eyes and do everything to ensure that you have the best time there. Due to my asthma, we were allowed to change rooms on request, as the first one had no proper way of ventilating at night. The only thing I could „criticize“ would be the dust on the lamps hanging 3 metres high 😜 Thank you again and hope do be with you again very soon 😊

We had the most amazing stay at Riad Rafaele. From the welcome we received on arrival to the morning we left it was perfect. It is an oasis of tranquillity. Great location for walking to the souks and major attractions. The riad itself has been restored by the owners and is beautifully decorated. We stayed in one of the suites which was very spacious and clean. Valerie, the owner, was charming and very welcoming and helpful. She really cares that her guests have everything they need and have the best experience. The staff are brilliant, helpful and friendly, amazing customer service. Houssaine was fantastic and arranged a tuk tuk to take us to a dinner booking and back which was a great experience. Breakfast on the rooftop terrace was lovely and fresh. We loved staying here and it genuinely felt like we were staying with good friends. We will definitely stay again when we return to Marrakech. Merci Valerie, Houssaine, Ridouan and Ibrahim.

Lovely road in medina

We arrived from Agafay desert and the reception organised a cart pull servant to pick us up which was an experience. The Road was inside the medina and the reception was really welcoming. The room were really beautiful and the bed was so comfortable. We also had time to get a quick massage upstairs and a swim. Hussein the night receptionist was also very helpful and made sure our taxi pick up was reserved for our early morning transport to the airport. We had breakfast at 8am but we didn’t get the egg omelet I gues we had early breakfast (8am) they didn’t have the eggs delivered yet( we saw it coming up around 8:20 so was probably too late for us to consume any eggs). The chef and Hussein was really helpful and attentive The masseurs were also really iood and I felt refreshed. I also liked the mini shop for a wee doubt. Definitely come back for a longer stay
