In amongst the souk, not fat from Jamaa el Fnaa, is this cosy riad. Isabelle and Pascal and their staff make you welcome and comfortable at all times. And although you are in the middle of Marrakech, once inside the souk it's an oasis of tranquility with traditional African themes and charm, but modern facilities and quality bedding. Thoroughly recommended.

traditional Riad, good service. The only shortcoming is difficulty for transportation in Medina. You have to walk to the Riad from the square.

Beautiful Riad
We stayed at the suite room. It was so beautifully decorated and amazing. Hammam and massage rooms were next door. Fun experience. The location was very convenient, shops were right in front of the Riad * you might spend a lot of money than I you planned. Only minus was WiFi was unstable and hot water was runnning out at night. Still it was a great stay and detailed decorations were so beautiful!! Highly recommend!

Small Riad with a big personality
travelled May 2017. We arrived, had mint tea, checked in, shown around and were in our room in about half an hour. Nothing was to much trouble for the staff but you do have to ask for things like lunch or refreshments. It would have been nice if it were the other way round but you will be staying in a riad and not a faceless chain hotel and the balance between providing services and not hassling you was just about right. On the other hand there were loads of personal touches such as Pascal enabling us to watch English football on his computer in the office / boutique. We had an early flight home so we were able to have a 6AM breakfast in our room. You can't beat this can do attitude. thank you. The riad has a small occupancy but we were with about six other nationalities and we had many interesting conversations around the pool and the cool inside areas. At breakfast the pool area is a magnet for wasps but you can have it inside minus the wasps. The Ba Sidi provides a perfect peaceful escape from the frenetic souks outside. No better place to come back to after your day out. The pool area is a sun trap and the pool itself is warm. this is not a chain hotel so don't come here if that is what you want on the other hand come here if you want service with a smile with the extra personal touch, great atmosphere and somewhere so peaceful you won't believe where you are. Hugely recommended. thank you to everybody at the Ba Sidi.

Really wonderful oasis in the middle of the medina. It can be noisy outside at times, but the inside of the riad is peaceful, and the staff is just fantastic. We really enjoyed our time here.

The most amazing staff, close to everything!
The staff were amazing, didn't realise a riad meant there were only 3 rooms so everything was much more personal than a normal hotel. It's in the heart of the madina so everything is close by such as the koutubia, Ben yusuf madrasa and jamma El fana. Only problem is the drain in our room smelt awful, as soon as you'd turn the tap on, the smell would fill the room for a few minutes. Also if you want food from the riad they need 2 days notice which is tricky because sometimes you get back late and don't have energy to leave to get food. Also the mornings and evenings were very cold but the day was fine.

The hotel is centrally located in the busy area of the medina. So as soon as you step out of the tranquil environment you are in the hustle and bustle of Marrakech. It is perfectly located for the shopaholics but not appropriate for people with young children. The Riad itself is very peaceful and clean. The staff are friendly and welcoming.

Oasis of quiet
Pascal, Isabelle and their staff were fantastic, the Riad was gorgeous, beautifully decorated a little oasis of peace and calm after the souks . The only downside was the WiFi which was never constant! I would highly recommend and hope to return.

Beautiful traditional riad
Beautiful riad. Clean and spacious rooms with very attractive decor. Staff pleasant and accessible. Riad not in the middle of the square but close enough to walk to within 5 min. Perfect. Worth noting, the Internet connection was not consistent and only worked when sitting near the modem in the common area. Also, while sitting in the common area it was extremely hot. No fan or air conditioner.

Magical Riad in old Marrakech
Friendly staff, comfortable room, very clean and inviting - I can't say anything negative about this jewel. Everyone at the Riad Ba Sidi went out of their way to make our stay as enjoyable as possible - and succeeded. They have a lovely oasis amidst the hustle and bustle of the medina. Two middle aged women staying in old Marrakech could have been a bad decision but we felt relaxed and safe wherever we went. The cleanliness of the area was a surprise as we had been told it would all be very dirty. We ate in the Riad a couple of lunchtimes and also on a couple of evenings and the food was excellent. We would certainly return to Marrakech and stay at this lovely little gem.

Recommended central medina riad
When we arrived we were met with a lovely cup of tea and a chat with the owner. The hotel is intimate and excellently equipped. There are lovely communal areas both downstairs - with sofas and books - and upstairs around the roof top pool and loungers. We were lucky enough to be upgraded to a suite, and the facilities were fantastic. Pascal the manager was always cheerful and friendly when letting us in or out of the riad, and the breakfast was fantastic. Would definitely stay here again if returning to Marrakech.

Fantastic riad
Our stay from arrival to departure at raid ba sidi was so relaxing, all staff were polite and helpful, Alfa was always available if needed with advice and Miriam worked wonders on my feet with a pedicure! The raid is in a perfect location for the souks and main square, and a perfect haven to relax from the mid day heat with a roof top pool and plenty of beds for sunbathing!

An oasis of calm within the medina!
We've just returned from a fabulous 5 night stay at Riad Ba Sidi. The riad itself is beautifully presented and is such a calm and tranquil place to unwind after the hustle and bustle of the medina. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, you truly feel as though you are a friend and not just a guest. Breakfast was really enjoyable with a good selection of pancakes, breads, fruit salad etc. The other meals we had there were among the best we'd had while in Morocco. There is a roof-top pool which is a rarity within the medina, and plenty of sun loungers on the terrace. The riad has its own hamam and offers various spa facilities. Its location is perfect, you're literally 5 minutes walk (if that) from Djma el Fnaa where there is an abundance of cafes, restaurants and market stalls. The riad provides towels, shower gel & shampoo - so save some space in your luggage for shopping at the souk!! I would definitely recommend booking this riad for your holiday to Marrakech!

Riad de rêve dans la médina
Le Riad Ba Sidi est un délicieux havre de paix au milieu de la grouillante Médina, à 2mn de la place Jama el fna. Nous recommandons chaleureusement ce Riad où l’accueil des propriétaires français, Pascal et Isabelle fut professionnel et convivial... nous nous sommes sentis très vite comme chez nous, avec en plus un service de qualité ! Les chambres sont très agréables, avec une très belle deco, et d’une hygiène irréprochable. Nous conseillons également de profiter des excursions (nous avons fait la journée berbère qui était une magnifique expérience avec Youssef!), du spa et de l’excellent tajine maison. Encore merci à nos hôtes, nous avons déjà envie d’y retourner !

Excellents services spa et massage au sein du Riad avec un personnel très compétent.
