The location was great, with an easy walk to all the main sights and the Medina. Also very convenient for tour pick ups, which were on a road nearby, only a 3min walk. The riad was lovely, with an amazing roof terrace - we ended up hanging out here often, playing cards. The staff are attentive and even brought us up sweets, cookies and tea while we took in the sunsets. Breakfast was plentiful, with lots of variety and is up on the terrace. We were given lots of recommendations on places to eat and the staff even assisted with making a dinner reservation for us. I would highly recommend this riad and would gladly return!

Nothing

The staff are amazing. Great value for money. A quiet riad in a busy town. The food (breakfast and dinner) were very nice, well presented and traditional. Nice room. Really liked the location. Away from the business of the main square but close enough to walk (10 / 15 minutes). Nice little area to explore other restaurants and shops. Despite initial appearances, the local area is very good. We also walked further afield to more upmarket restaurants in the new quarter, which is about 20 / 30 minutes walk away.

A little tricky to find, particularly as taxi's can't drive you to the door so you'll need to walk 5 minutes from the nearest drop-off point. Make sure you have your mobile phone internet access setup beforehand so you can use Google maps. Our room looked to have been built on to the side of the main building so we were over the alley way. Consequently, the early morning deliveries being wheeled down the cobbles or people walking / talking / mopeds feel like they're with you in the room. That said, it's not a busy alleyway (it's a dead end) so only used by residents or visitors.

The position of the riad was just great, safe but at the same time very close to the center of the Medina and the most attractive part of the city. The Riad was magical and the guy who welcomed us, Sophian (?), was amazing. Me and my boyfriend had some conversations with him and he is a very kind guy! We could even swim in the fantastic jacuzzi pool and the breakfast in the roof top was delicious. The whole experience was just perfect!

Within walking distance to the Main Square

Better directions. Gave the address to taxi driver but he still had to call the property to get directions. You have to walk about a block to the property as there is no access for vehicles. When taxi driver dropped us off, some tout brought a luggage cart and offered to cart the luggage to the property for us. He sounded as he was from the property so we accepted his help. Then he demanded 10 Euros. First bad experience in Marrakesh. Warning: Whoever offers help with luggage is not from the property.

The location of the Riad was perfect - very close to major attractions but peaceful and quiet. Imane and her staff were very attentive and welcoming, and helped with recommendations for restaurants and sightseeing. Rooms were comfortable and bathrooms were large with good showers. Breakfast was on a beautiful roof terrace.

It would have been nice to have a pool. We had thought the Riad had a pool with sunbeds, but there was only a small plunge pool in the main seating area, which we would not have felt comfortable using.

Our stay was made by the very attentive and lovely staff who went out of their way to be helpful, without being intrusive. We loved the fact this is very much a traditional Riad decorated in an authentic and traditional manner. Also it’s location in the pedestrianised Medina. The immediate impression was being transported into a completely different culturel world of hospitality with charming helpful staff.

There was Nothing to dislike about Riad El Youssefi!

Location is great, in the heart of the Medina, but still in a quiet little street. Wi-Fi worked well. The riad is very nice with a lovely terrace and nice atmosphere. Staff is kind and helpful. Communcation with the owner was good via WhatsApp. Breakfast (served) was great.

Breakfast doesn't start until 8:00 AM, which is inconvenient if you have a tour which starts early in the morning - this was our case, so we had to eat in a rush. Our room was rather small (anyway we just really slept in there). Private bathroom is not in the room but just outside. The price of the private airport transfer was way cheaper on Booking than the one asked by the riad.

The staff were so sweet, flexible and helpful. This place was such a pleasant surprise and such good value for money. We were late to breakfast and the staff always kept us back some. The pool in a riad so close to the Medina is such a treat. The staff cleaned our room both days. Super pleased with the stay especially for the price! There's only 5 rooms in the place so it's a quiet, relaxed vibe.

Honestly, for the price we paid, this place was stellar.

The Riad was located in the perfect place (within the Medina) to access all the souks etc without paying for taxis to get around. We arranged a few day trips out of the Medina to the Atlas Mountains and Essaouria, Quad Bikes etc to get away 'from it all' and these were excellent. Breakfast - there was so much for us to eat at breakfast and different types of pancakes cooked fresh each morning (incl. fruit, cake, fresh yogurt, bread). I think I have put a lot of weight on just from this meal. Our room was lovely, clean and spacious. The staff at the Riad were so helpful and lovely and I would recommend this Riad to everyone who visits. :-)

I cannot think of anything.

We stayed in the Chocolat room, which was one of the coolest rooms I've had the privilege of staying in. The little porch outside is completely private and acts as a shockingly quiet and peaceful oasis in the chaos of the big city. The bed is very comfortable and it was relatively easy to keep the room cool with the fan. The bathroom has both a shower (I don't know if this is pictured anywhere, but it has a shower with a curtain!) and a tub. The riad itself was lovely and had lots of nice places to relax. We were shocked by how quiet it is given how loud the city is. It is a beautiful place to relax after a day of exploring. The location is great - it is in the medina and very central, but it is a couple of streets outside of the hustle and bustle. We arrived very late after a long day of travel and had requested a meal on arrival. The meal was a little expensive (especially compared to other restaurants in the area, though I think a similar price to meals at other riads), but the portions were very large and the food was very good. We were pretty stuffed after the appetizer, so when we were barely able to make a dent in the entre, we asked to save it for later. The staff kindly heated it up for us as lunch the next day and it was equally delicious and similarly fancy! Speaking of food, the breakfast each morning was large and extremely filling, including coffee or tea, fruit, bread, jam and butter, pancakes or crepes, and frequently cake. It was also delicious. Yassine and the other staff were all very kind and helpful. Yassine helped us coordinate a lot of our stay, including a wonderful evening of riding camels, drinking tea, and eating dinner in the nearby dessert. The women on site were also very kind- with one lady even helping us save a bee from the pool on our request! Although we never mentioned it and minimized physical affection, we were comfortable staying here as a lesbian couple.

I think the only downside was that sometimes the courtyard sometimes felt so quiet that we were nervous we would be too loud if we spoke at a normal volume.
