The Riad was an oasis in the ancient & historic Medina. Classical decor, excellent facilities but most importantly the service received from Mustapha & his sister was exemplary. He was so helpful, helping us to navigate our way through the Medina to the main square & the local sights by giving us a map. This was our first visit to Morocco & we really had no idea what to expect. His advice, assistance & offer of being available via WhatsApp if we needed him helped us greatly. The breakfast served every morning was generous & a great start to the days exploring with an assortment of bread & condiments, eggs, freshly squeezed orange juice & great coffee. We also ate dinner & had the tastiest traditional Moroccan tagines, so if you get the opportunity ask Mustapha if his sister can provide an evening meal, this is at an extra cost. The quality of ingredients, generous portions & value for money are second to none. You will not be disappointed! This was perfect for us after a busy day in the Medina. We will definitely be recommending this Riad to our friends & family mainly for the service received from Mustapha and his sister.

There wasn't anything to dislike.

This is a beautiful Riad, a calm haven tucked away from the busy streets of Marrakech. The Riad was charming, clean and comfortable with Mustapha being the perfect host. We were welcomed by Mustapha at the gate and escorted to his lovely Riad. He made our trip perfect, offering advice and guidance on navigating the busy streets of Marrakech. He organised excursions for us and escorted us to the pick up point ensuring we got on the correct transport. We don’t speak the language and found this really helpful! Mustapha made sure we felt at home in his Riad offering the best mint tea (we tried a few and non compared) and crucial advice for a safe and enjoyable experience in Marrakech. It was our first time visiting and without his support and guidance we would have been literally lost. We would highly recommend a stay at Riad Les 5 Soeurs and if we return we would definitely stay here again!

The only down side to the property was the street noise, however given the beautiful structure of a traditional Moroccan Riad I’m unsure how this could be avoided and it certainly didn’t spoil our stay! Marrakech is a vibrant and busy city so noise is to be expected. However, I imagine the noise levels would be even greater staying closer to the Jemaa el-Fnaa Square. This Riad was a 20 minute walk away from the Jemaa el-Fnaa square, which was fine for us. It is located close to the Bab Aylan gate perfect for airport transport and excursion pick ups.

The Riad was great and really well placed for visiting the heart of Marrakech as it was a short 20 min walk. It was also perfect for excursions as it was only a 5 minute walk to Bab Aylan which is a regular pick up point. The area can be a shock to the senses at first, but it was a lovely place to stay and perfectly placed. We soon got used to the area. Mustapha and his sister were very friendly and helpful. We were delayed very late and Mustapha met us where we were dropped off to make sure we found the Riad, gave us some water and made sure we had a breakfast later than usual on our first day so we could rest. He also gave us tips for getting around, helped us get a taxi and also gave us some advice on how to avoid any issues with people trying to send us the wrong way. We had a great stay and Mustapha and his sister were key to making us feel welcome and at home. If you need any help at all during your stay, Mustapha is there to help.

Our Host Mustapha & sister went above & beyond. Upon arrival we were greeted so nicely & were asked to have a seat. He personally made us coffee. We were not left to be told coffee is here so you can have at will. The Riad is exceptionally clean. There were no any flies or bugs at all. We went upstairs too to the terrace. Absolutely spotless everywhere. Mustapha & his sister really take care of this Riad as if it were their own home. I actually cannot believe how much we have been taken care of. We arrived with no Dhirams at all. We had some which we tipped to our taxi, but no more. We hadn’t eaten since boarding our flight from the U.K. Mustapha personally took me along to show a good place to eat paid the bill. Truth be told, the pizza was so fresh, I thought we were in Napoli. People like Mustapha are extremely rare. This was a bed & breakfast Riad. So for that kind of attention is completely off the chart. He could have simply given us directions to get food. But that’s not what he did. That’s a personal attention to travelers who are in a bit of a jam. Mustapha was always available for advice or any pointers for the stay. Honestly, if needed he would have done anything to help, that’s just his nature. The riad is tucked away from the main road. & once you’re inside this oasis of calm, the hustle n bustle is left outside. This Riad is so so tranquil. It’s even more beautiful, with such caring hosts. You won’t find gems like this Riad, nor the hosts as attentive as they are. We were blown away.

Despite being close to a busy lane, the Riad was always quiet. The quaint little courtyard was covered, yet still trapped a little sun and heat, and felt very bright and airy. It’s a short walk to the Jemaa El-Fnaa and there’s a lot of shops and stalls nearby. Our host was helpful, and always available either at the Riad or over the phone, and full of lots of helpful tips for the area.

There was nothing I disliked in the property. However, on the original listing it describes the room as having a bath, which is did not.

Beautiful little riad close to parking on the other side of the Medina wall and accessible to the main square and souks all within 20 minutes walking. Mustapha is very welcoming and accommodating - (even had my ac unit fixed - thank you!) and his sister Resa is wonderful, she made beautiful breakfasts each morning, taking very good care of us. The pool was refreshing and the terrace a beautiful place to listen to the sounds of the Medina.

It would have been helpful to have directions on where to find the riad from the car park - as it turns out we met a few people along the way than enhanced our experience and helped out.

The Riad was a true gem in the old Medina. The centuries old accommodation is truly beautiful,dressed to give a real sense of traditional Morocco,but with all the modern amenities required by travellers. Rooms and linen were clean and serviced every day. The riad’s manager Mustapha and his sister’s attention to our needs was exceptional. With his extensive local knowledge he was central to organising our activities,all of which were of the highest quality.

Absolutely nothing

An island of peace and calm in the midst of the chaos of the Medina. Mustafa was an absolute gentleman and such a welcoming host. The room was a good size with a comfortable bed and cleaned to a good standard. Best thing about the riad was the pleasant and relaxing atmosphere.

Some of the decor in the room was a little tired and could do with some extra maintenance. As mentioned in other reviews be sure to bring earplugs as there is a very confused cockerel in the neighbourhood who likes to sleep all day and scream all night.

The Riad was in a great location and Mustapha, who was managing the Riad, has been of great help during our visit. The riad was spotless and we had the warm welcome of Mustapha's sister who prepared a traditional Moroccan breakfast every morning for us. We also requested a tagine on our last day and it was so tasty, perfect for our departure home. Would recommend a stay here for anyone who wants to have an authentic experience in the heart of Marrakech.

Our four-night stay at this location was nothing short of amazing. Latifa's culinary skills wowed us at every meal, and her flexibility in preparing an early breakfast for our desert trip was greatly appreciated. Moustaffà's hospitality was exceptional, from recommending local attractions to helping with transportation and luggage arrangements. This experience was truly unforgettable, thanks to Moustaffà and Latifa.

The only thing I'd caution against is choosing the riad if you're a solo female traveler. While the area isn't far from the center and offers a pleasant walk, it's slightly off-center, which might not be ideal for solo evening strolls. However, for groups or couples, it's perfect!
