I really enjoyed my stay at the Riad, the staff were polite, friendly and helpful. The location was ideal just off the path to the souks and a short walk to the main square, overall would highly recommend.

I loved my stay at Riad Africa. The property is beautiful and located close to the main path in the souk. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They even gave me a free room upgrade. The room was lovely, comfortable, and the breakfast was tasty. I'd definitely recommend this location and would happily stay again when back in Marrakech!

The economy room is excruciatingly small and claustrophobic - pretty much a closet. This is not apparent in the pictures taken and when asking front desk to upgrade had to pay full price of the new room to get the upgrade - this is really unacceptable.

Travelling with another couple. They stayed at Riad Africa but we got bumped to Riad Explore 650 m up the souk and down another back alley. Had early flight. no way to sleep with the noise outside and inside. Pro tip: DO NOT BOOK ACCOMODATIONS IN THE MEDINA! Almost got mugged at 3 am trying to get our cab after clerk said he would walk us down but was no where to be found. Room was updated and nice but good luck sleeping with all the noise of dogs, cats, neighbors, motor cycles etc which does not stop at anytime. Very poor choice by us. Our fault for not knowing what we were doing.

The room was spotlessly clean and well equipped, but extremely small, especially the bathroom. It was a very slim single bed with a hard mattress, and noise during the night from the power unit. The breakfast was fine, and location good (nearby the road and the main square). Also very good and fast service at check-in.
