Ryad Explore This is a beautiful boutique hotel, recently renovated. The decoration reflects the culture of Morocco with very good taste. The personnel is super friendly and willing to help you always. The ryad is located in the Medina but it is easy to find following the map they provide except watch out as it still doesn’t have a sign with the name however, number 35 is on the door as shown in their address. The security is very good as they keep the door closed and monitored by CCTV. The rooms have brand new A/Cs and offer perks like a kleenex box, bath gel, shampoo and even a nice cotton robe in case you want to refresh in there little indoor swimming pool which more like a big jacuzzi. There is a good continental breakfast buffet included in the rate. The central square of Marrakech is three minutes away. I fully recommend this ryad.

They don’t have a sign outside with the name.

Great location, very close to the Jemaa El Fnaa square, but still in a silent neighbourhood. Bahia palace is close-by too. Exceptional staff. Both Ayoub and Hamza go the extra mile. The breakfast options are limited but enough, I was satisfied.

The budget single room is absolutely tiny. The smallest I have ever been in. Also, at over 50 Euros per night, it is not exactly 'Budget'. If you are searching for Riads at the last minute and see this one available, there is a good reason why the early birds have not booked it. On the other hand, it is exactly as seen in the photos, so hidden malice there. Make an informed decision. Beware, the billing is in British Pounds. So consider any overhead your bank may charge for conversion if GBP is not your native currency.

It was exactly what we needed! Perfect location, safe, in amongst the hussle and bussle of the day, but quiet at night. We were only able to enjoy the delicious breakfast one of the 3 days because we were leaving for daytrips before they served breakfast, but it was delicious. Really nice staff, very helpful and we were able to leave our suitcases for the day after checking out ( we had a 6:40 pm flight). I would highly recommend!

Gorgeous riad in an excellent location. The staff were very friendly and helpful, especially Ayoub. I would definitely stay here again.

The location. The riad is also tastefully decorated, I love the African explorer theme.

Location is great, staff very friendly

Room could be bigger, but does the job

nothing

The breakfast experience was chaotic and poorly managed. There was no sense of timing, and it was served on an open rooftop during very cold mornings. The buffet consisted of small, uncovered portions of food, which attracted birds that pecked at it. The food itself was poorly prepared: the omelets were badly cooked, the cheese was chopped into a million tiny pieces, and the pancakes were cold. There were no dedicated chefs; instead, the maintenance man doubled as the receptionist and the chef, reminiscent of a scene from Fawlty Towers. When we asked if we could take the food to our rooms to escape the cold, we were told it wasn’t allowed. The lighting in the room was very dim, and there were no bins or water provided. Although the Riyad claims to accommodate families of five in its large family rooms, the additional beds are on a mezzanine level with a ceiling only about a metre high. You can barely lie down on the very low beds, and you need to be careful when sitting up to avoid hitting your head! The rooftop had no relaxed seating apart from two loungers, which were very dirty. The claims of panoramic views from the top terrace are comical, as there are none to speak of—just a view of surrounding building sites. Additionally, the level of noise from the neighboring rooms kept us up during the night, making it difficult to get a good night's sleep. The pictures online were quite deceiving, as they gave a much more luxurious impression. When we requested the pit fire, we were disappointed to find only two measly logs kindled, which barely lasted. It sad that the pictures and reviews are so deceiving, which led us to book this place.
