Our stay at this Riad was fantastic! The entire place was spotless, and the ambiance was absolutely wonderful. The fresh, pleasant smell throughout the hotel added to the experience. The rooms were spacious, and the bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring a great night's sleep. We loved the jacuzzi—it was such a relaxing touch! The location was perfect, making everything easily accessible. The staff were exceptionally friendly, and we even had the pleasure of being greeted by the chef himself, which was such a thoughtful gesture. It’s also very baby-friendly, making it an ideal spot for families. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone!

We went in winter the pool is not heated but we ended up using the jacuzzi which was nice

Excellent location, a 3 minute walk from Medersa Ben Youssef. Wonderful facilities and ambience with pleasant outdoor seating to work or read, lovely rooftop restaurant area and excellent room facilities. Secure entrance and excellent tips for dining etc. The staff were wonderful - incredibly helpful and pleasant.

The location is a little lonely - located on a stretch of road where building is ongoing and which is therefore very quiet at night. This will probably be resolved relatively quickly but for the moment perhaps not the best for solo female travellers walking home after dark.

It was our first time in Marrakech and we decided to stay in a Riad in the Medina. The Riad xo was absolutely fantastic. The location was the north so slightly quieter but really easy to get everywhere. The quality of the rooms and the grounds were 5 star, it was so tranquil and incredibly beautiful. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff, the introductory talk was really helpful in order for us to navigate Marrakech as first time visitors. They facilitated taxis and also accommodated me who is gluten free at breakfast, following a comment on arrival. The eye for detail was second to none. I would highly recommend the Riad xo.

This was by far the best place I've ever stayed. The staff was attentive and available. Once they saw that we were open, honest and fair, they went above and beyond to give suggestions when asked, explain their culture, and share all they could about Morroco, their lives and aspirations. I recommend this place for anyone who loves life and exchanging with people. If you are in it for exploitation, please protect them by staying somewhere else.

Our room had some light coming in due to side windows by the french doors that were not covered by the blinds. As I am very sensitive to light when I sleep, this bothered me the first two nights. After that, I was so tired from all of our amazing experiences that I just slept. :)

The breakfast was amazing, fresh orange juice, coffee, fruits and the yoghurt was so delicious. We enjoyed it every morning. The location of the Riad is perfect to explore the Medina and Souks. The staff of the Riad was always so helpful - they showed us everything, had always time and even picked us up, when we got lost. They arranged an extra transfer for us and made dinner reservations as well. I cannot say enough how amazing and perfect our stay was. We will definitely come back and can recommend Riad XO for everyone. The style is just gorgeous!

Overall it was an excellent stay. We loved the aesthetic of the hotel..every corner was so unique and picture perfect, almost like from pin interest board :) We loved the color tones/ furnitures/ designs. How quiet it was even though it’s in heart of medina, step away from souks. Staffs were amazing, always smiling and very helpful. Loved the selection of breakfast. The owner Stefano was very sweet and he made sure we were looked after. Chatting to him was insightful and we are really happy we met him.

Everything was perfect! First we thought a TV would be nice but actually it’s better if you don’t have a TV, you tend to go out more, appreciate the surroundings and meet people :)

Very comforting, helpful staff. Stephan, one of the owners,was very helpful to fulfill our wishes. The rooms were lovely and the roof terrace is like a quiet oasis. Breakfast was very good and plentiful. The location in the Medina was great and very quiet. If you visit Marrakech, you should stay in the Medina. Easy reach by Taxi to almost the front door. Wonderful riad, wonderful people.

The only complaint, they run out of beer and wine twice in our 5 day stay. We are not big drinkers, but 1 or 2 beers at night on the roof terrace would have been great. Twice we couldn’t get any beer and or wine.

Riad XO surpassed all the previous places I’ve stayed in Marrakesh (and I've been quite a lot). If your dates are available you are in a luck! DONT think twice and book immediately because this is the place to stay in Marrakech! The design of the Riad is beautiful but has that amazing skill of balancing comfort with style so you feel that you are home and safe. Every corner is full of charm and so photogenic! The pool and the relaxing setting area around is exactly what you need for relaxing time before/ after discovering the city. My room was spacious, stunningly stylish and superbly appointed. The whole riad is immaculately clean and a credit to the cleaning staff. Breakfast each of my four mornings was Moroccan, freshly made, very tasty and plentiful, actually the taste of the fresh orange juice is still in my mouth (the tastiest I’ve ever had and I’m not exaggerating). Location! The riad is well located just a minutes of walks from all what you need to see in Marrakech. The staff is AMAZING, super professional, full of knowledge, attending and welcoming. A special thanks to Hamid, Oussama and of course Stephane the owner who took a good care of me.

Beautiful Riad done up to a very high standard. An oasis of calm as soon as you step in. From the scent of orange blossom to the birdsong around the lush greenery, everything has been designed to perfection. Staff were excellent. Room was cleaned everyday and the bedding was luxurious. The little touch of pastries left in the room when we returned each evening, was much appreciated. Lots of spaces to relax on the rooftop.

Breakfast is repetitive.

Everything! This place is absolutely amazing! If you're looking for a great location for exploring the old Marrakesh, this is the one. The design, the staff, the terrace, the comfort of the bed, shampoo fragrance.. this place is a hidden gem! A special thank you to Taoufiq, who made the stay unique with all the suggestions on how to get around the city. Ps. Make sure to try their beef tajine!

Will definitely come back!
