We absolutely loved our stay at Riad Cherian. The property is incredibly beautiful and tastefully decorated – it truly felt like a home away from home. Everything was clean, cozy, and well taken care of. The location was easy to find, and even though the streets in the medina can be confusing, we had no trouble navigating with Google Maps – plus, locals were always willing to help. The rooftop terrace was stunning and the whole atmosphere felt calm and welcoming. There was daily housekeeping, which kept everything fresh and tidy. We felt completely safe and at ease during our stay. All in all, the riad was a peaceful, beautiful haven – we were more than happy with our choice!

Honestly, there was nothing we didn’t like. Everything was just perfect – from the location to the atmosphere, the cleanliness, and the incredibly kind hosts. We truly felt at home and couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay.

The riad was very clean, spacious, and beautiful! The Riad was very quiet and filled with the sounds of peaceful birds, even thought it was in the middle of the busy madina!! Breakfast was included in our stay and it was so delicious and also very filling !! The breakfast was one of our favourite parts of the stay as it changed every day and each time the food was so fresh and amazing ! Nezha was such an amazing host, super friendly and helped us with learning how to get around the city to explore! My husband and I stayed for 2 weeks and we loved our stay at Riad cherihane!

Very clean riad with a housekeeper who does the rooms each day. The air conditioning was amazing in the 35°+ weather. The staff was super nice, Abdou especially was very, very welcoming and friendly and gave us good directions on how to get to the Medina and provided advice on what to visit. He was very welcoming to us both, Black African/Canadian and white Canadian. Female and male. Nezha and the housekeeper were also very nice. The bed was very comfortable. Very good location for access to the Medina, it is only a few steps away. Great to experience. If you like cats you will also see a lot of cats outside! The breakfast is made up of various types of coffee or tea, breads, jam, laughing cow cheese, Moroccan orange juice, olives and sometimes bananas, eggs, or yogurt.

I discovered that I had to be very careful with what I was eating in order to not have stomach issues. The breads, jams, cheese, banana and orange juice were good for breakfast, and then I would recommend eating at well known places for dinner. If having stomach issues, try avoiding tea to see if that is the issue. A note on the washroom, it was very big which was nice. The shower was a half wall shower with handheld nozzle, so you do not stand in the shower. Toilet paper should not be flushed down the toilet, use water.

This riad was in Medina , bit of long walk to centre square but it was so nice and quiet inside . Riad itself inside was beautiful, full of art, great paintings on the walls, niceley decorated. Bed was comfy, good mattress , had a good sleep, good shower, clean and tidy, hearty breakfast, you definately dont leave hungry. Great rooftop area to sit and relax. Helpful staff, was very nice. Felt very relaxed and safe in there. Nezha got us taxi both ways to airport, needed to walk a bit in there but no problem, we had a nice guy waiting for us to take us to riad, sorry i cant remember your name... communication was very quick as well. We did couple of day trips as well, because we needed to leave early they packed us breakfast to go as well without us needed to ask. Would definately recommend to my family or friends to stay in there, also...next time i visit i would definately go back. This place definately made my stay in Marrakesh a lot better than me being in a big european style hotel. Thank you for your hospitality and letting me to stay in your beautiful riad. I wish you all the best and hopefully will see you again 😊

We liked everything 😊. Me and my friend were both happy to stay there, maybe a bit stronger wifi on upper floors would be awesome, we had wifi in our room, just would prefer bit stronger but there was good seating area, more than one where you had full signal. Overall nothing bad to say...and i'm quite picky when it comes to bed and shower...so all great 😃😊

Breakfast was really nice; Room was very clean; Host was responsive; AC worked great; Pretty rooftop

Entrance is hard to find, especially if you're navigating there alone with suitcases. Tough Google Maps works fine, you will get asked if you need help in exchange for money by locals that see you trying to navigate the very small streets. I didn't book a taxi (from the airport to the Riad) via the Riad itself, but I would recommend you do so, so that you can get there easily/with no hassle

The transportation was perfect to us. I suggest the new guests to use otel transportation. Otherwise, it may be hard to find the entrance of the otel. Because the streets are narrow and a little bit complicated. If you need transportation, just tell it. They will do the best for your comfort. Nezha (the lady at hotel) was sooo friendly, helpful and nice to us. She also let us play her dog as well 😍🐶 The room was perfectly clean. They clean the room everyday. When we arrived the otel, we always found our room tidy and clean. They served really nice breakfast. It was pretty enough to start our day. Since we left the otel really early, they prepared our breakfast for taking away, which was so thoughtful.

I have nothing to say negative. Just enjoy your staying ✌️

The room was clean and comfortable with daily linen changes. The breakfasts were amazing, great choice of fresh local products. The hosts were welcoming, king and helpful. We were given lots of useful advice for getting around the area. The rooftop garden was a peaceful haven away from the hustle and bustle of the streets below. An ideal place to sit and read after a busy day exploring.

Having a ground floor room meant that we heard lots of noise when other guests were coming and going.

It was absolutely the best choice in Marrakech. The riad is beautiful and makes us feel at home since the beggining. The room was big, super clean and the bathroom amazing. Mustafa and Nezha are incredibly kind and always available to improve your stay in any way. But the best part is yet to come: the breakfast, prepared by Nezha, was absolutely lovely, one of the best i've ever eaten. We loved our experience there and would come recommend 100%.

Everything perfect! Starting from the room to the amazing terrassa for the sunset, the incredible breakfast, the calm and familiar neighbourhood..

Honestly one of the best lodging experiences I have ever had! The staff was beyond exceptional and the place exceeded our expectations. The photos don’t do it justice, it is even more beautiful in real life. There is a really nice terrace on the roof, we watched the sunset there one evening while having a snack and it was great! One of our favorite parts was the breakfast! I’ve never had such a phenomenal hotel breakfast. We had an early tour on day one and we just planned to not get breakfast but the staff found out at check in and organized us a Togo breakfast before service was starting, so we would have something to eat that morning! They were so sweet! If you have an early day, they can organize it for you, they just need to know in advance. We didn’t realize that was possible so we hadn’t planned on it and they didn’t know until last minute, but went out of their way to arrange it! We really appreciated it! And it was a huge breakfast! The breakfast sur place is so nice, we had choices from basically any hot and cold drinks and platters of delicious breads and jams and cheese spread and fruits. You sit down at a coffee table like table and couch and they have the dishes all set up and bring you out what you’d like. The rooms were so clean and very comfortable and had gorgeous art hung everywhere and traditional decor. They had the essentials like soap, shampoo, even some glasses for water (but the sink water is non potable just to note). They had air conditioning which was super nice at night. They also have a better taxi transport system than the regular taxis so definitely schedule with them it’s so much easier! We paid 15€ for a taxi from the airport and they dropped us off like a 4 minute walk from the riad because that part isn’t accessible by car, and one of the employees came and picked us up on foot which was also so nice!

Everything as wonderful! Not a single complaint!
