Riad Rafael is a beautiful property and in a central location in the Medina. The room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. The staff were very friendly and really took care of the guests.

Riad Rafaele was a great place to stay to explore Marrakesh. It's location was so close to the souks and walkable to the main palaces and gardens that it was easy to get around and then return to the welcoming cool and relaxing haven of the Riad. Thomas and Valerie and all the staff were so friendly and welcoming and extremely helpful in helping with advice, directions, restaurant recommendations and bookings and we felt very safe while staying there. Our room and bed was very comfortable and the breakfast in the roof top conservatory area was a bonus with fresh orange juice, eggs and breads. We experienced the hammam and relaxing massage which was great and lovely to have on site. I recommend taking offer of Riad arranging taxi from airport as you may have difficulty finding it tucked away in the Medina! We would definitely return and explore further into the Atlas Mountains and more.
The lock on our room was a bit temperamental at times but it was about to be fixed so not a big issue. Water pressure could be variable but as you are in the heart of the Medina, not unexpected and again no real issue. Staff were always very helpful and ready to address anything we needed.

Wow! Such a beautiful oasis right in the heart of old town Marrakech. The staff go above and beyond to help! They were also very reassuring and comforting; as a mother and daughter travelling alone they were able to advise on how best to stay safe. The room was stunning (we had a Junior Suite), and the whole Riad was quiet and peaceful. Don't hesitate to book!

The riad is an oasis of calm and relaxation but in a perfect location for exploring the medina and all the sights, sounds and excitement. All the staff were so helpful and friendly and helped make our trip to Marrakesh fantastic.

Beautiful Riad with an excellent staff. Our room was super comfortable with a nice bathroom. I’ve stayed in a few Riad’s in Marrakech and this one is definitely now my top favorite.

The staff were extremely helpful and kind and made us fell at home straight away . The owner was at hand to help to the needs of the guests everyday , even grinding the coffee beans for the guests . The interior of the Riad was exceptionally designed with good taste and quality materials . We experienced the Spa treatments enjoying the sun deck following our Haman . Very relaxing . A fabulous location allowing us to walk to great roof top Resturant’s and historical sites nearby . We would highly recommend this property .

This was the friendliest hotel I’ve ever stayed in. The staff were all so lovely and helpful. I honestly felt that I was a house guest not a client. Without asking they prepared a packed breakfast when I left early one morning. They know all the best tour operators and organised several trips for me. It’s quiet as it’s down a short alley but just a short walk to the souks.

Loved the garden and the hammam. How have I not tried a hammam before? Riad Rafaele's was an exceptional experience.

The Riad was beautiful, comfortable, and relaxing: just a sumptuous escape secreted away at the end of a long, dark alley. I’ve been to Marrakech before and had an idea what to expect, but my friends and colleagues had not and their minds were blown when the door opened to this paradise. It was gorgeous. Our rooms were elegant and comfortable (my friends and I enjoyed a ground floor room [shared a king bed] with soaring beamed ceilings and giant arched windows with heavy curtains). We enjoyed the rooftop continental breakfast (lack of croissants was the only downside ;-), the spa (hammam is a must + massage), and hours spent hanging out with mint tea and local delicacies in the garden courtyard. A couple of us used the pool (a small but lovely floating pool). The staff were truly exceptional. Waiting on our every need and desire, guiding us (literally) to restaurants to dine, and directing and advising us on shopping and more. With a bad knee, I was a bit challenged with all the steep stairs, but there were (mostly) handrails (not true in many parts of the medina, where almost every restaurant is on a rooftop) and so I managed okay. We would go back in a heartbeat.
Missed having croissants at breakfast, and one day our showers were cold because one of the staff accidentally turned the wrong knob on the roof. No one was up to be found to address the problem. But we managed. Neither was a big deal.

We loved the three young gentlemen who made our stay unforgettable. They did everything in their power to help and guide us where and when they could and showed what true hospitality is all about. We also loved the breakfast, even though one of us could not have gluten, they tried their very best to accommodate us.
The building had some "beauty flaws", for example the central heating in our bathroom did not function and the sink was half clogged. Also the system with the outside bell for those who had forgotten their key during the night was not optimal, because when someone did use the bell, many guest were woken up...

The Location the place, the deco, the room. The decoration was made with taste. The location is right in the bazzar. The room was a suite but it was very big, very comfortable.
The only thing I could say was the smell in the bathroom.

Very Poor
Location
Poorly maintained property. Luggage transfer was not facilitated despite contacting the property multiple times. There was no drinking water in rooms and I had to buy from super market and carry all the way. We stayed for three nights and breakfast was not good. No boiled eggs or cereals. The water from bathroom over flowed into room on second day. Expensive and poor value for money. Be mindful of city tax. It’s not included in charges and you will have to pay it extra. Overall disappointing experience. We stayed in Morocco for two weeks and this was worst stay.
