Souk Zrabi Tours

We had a fantastic stay at Riad Nowara & Spa. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly riad in Marrakech, this is an excellent choice. The location is great, with most of the main attractions in the Medina within walking distance, making it easy to explore the city. The highlight of our stay was definitely the host, Saber. He was incredibly welcoming, friendly, and always happy to help with anything we needed. He was easy to talk to, gave us useful local advice, and really made us feel at home. The riad itself was clean, comfortable, and offered great value for money. If you’re after an authentic place to stay without spending a fortune, I’d definitely recommend Riad Nowara & Spa. Thanks again to Saber for making our trip so enjoyable!

**AVOID THIS RIAD – SAVE YOUR MONEY!** Absolutely disgraceful experience. The Riad advertises deluxe double rooms with beautiful photos, but some rooms look NOTHING like them. Our room was dark, shabby, poorly maintained and not worth anywhere near what we paid. When we complained, staff claimed the photos were simply of some rooms. The manager eventually admitted we hadn't received the room type we booked, blaming Hotels.com. At checkout, another staff member admitted we weren't the first guests affected. Despite this, nobody offered compensation or even made an effort to put things right. Completely unacceptable! The room had no pillowcases, the toilet was loose on the floor, the toilet seat was detached, and the showerheads were rusty. The swimming pool was filthy, and breakfast was an absolute joke. One morning, they had run out of milk for coffee ONE HOUR before breakfast ended, despite shops selling milk just around the corner. Utterly ridiculous! The location is also misleading. It's a 20–25-minute walk to the main square, and the Google Maps location on Hotels.com is completely wrong. Solo female travellers may also feel uncomfortable walking back in the evening. The only positive was being able to get a taxi directly to the door. Marrakech was amazing, but this Riad seriously damaged our experience. Misleading photos, the wrong room, terrible maintenance, poor cleanliness and zero customer care. DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR AND BOOK SOMEWHERE ELSE.
