The Riad itself is amazing, wonderful architecure and decor. The staff were very helpful and accomodating. Can't find anything negative to say. If you find the Medina overwhelming this Hotel is well positioned as although it isn't far from the busy streets, you aren't directly on them so you won't be stepping directly out into the madness and there aren't any noise concerns.

We started our Morocco journey with this Riad. The thing about this particular property was that these guys made a special effort to introduce us to give us bite-sized introductions to Do's Dont of Morocco without any special prompting. Their welcome was special, making us comfortable by giving a tour of Riad was a great touch. They all were special people trying to make us feel special.

My family had a lovely stay at Riad Houdou. The service was excellent, Abdel the manager was particularly helpful and had a wealth of tips for our family's trip in Marrakesh. The property is located 10-15min walk from the main square and it is an oasis of calm, with all the usual amenities (including free filtered water, kettle in the room). Would definitely stay again.

Super, super friendly and helpful owners and staff who went above and beyond to help us. Wonderful breakfast, very clean, definitely the best mint tea I had during our stay in Morocco too. WIll be staying here again.

Exceptionally friendly and helpful owners and staff without being intrusive. Really useful advice on arrival about customs, where to go, how to be safe. Marrakesh is quite a culture shock for first timers until you get used to it but the teams help was great. Wish we had had in out first trip a few years ago Although the Riad Houdou isnt a restaurant, we would recommend eating there at least once. You need to book it before 11 though. Thoroughly recommend

Family friendly and Beautiful hotel. the hotel that was very clean and chic and their behavior was excellent and they surprised us for our anniversary and gave us a luxurious suite and a private pool. The person who saw us (Didier) was very friendly and kind and taught us a lot about the map of Marrakech and the sights and customs and shopping in the markets. I strongly recommend it to friends. Delicious breakfast with a nice view. The location of the hotel is the best.

WOW, a must stay. I didn’t come thinking or expecting more than normal, however the attention everyone puts in this beautiful Riad is something you don’t easily get nowadays. Eric and Didier are there all the time to make sure everyone is taken care of. The staff is friendly and the riad is a diamond in the inside. The only thing you will regret is not staying longer!

Wow! What an amazing property and introduction to Morocco and Marrakech. I arranged for the airport transfer through the riad, and that was super convenient and affordable. The driver was waiting for us just outside the airport and dropped us off, and we were met by a guide who carried our luggage in a cart through the medina to the riad. The riad itself was beautiful. The main courtyard full of roses. We arranged for dinner to be provided the night we arrived. It may have been the best meal I have ever eaten. Incredible greeting mint tea and pastries, when we arrived, and then the dinner, a fantastic starter, wonderfully delicious tagine, and an amazing dessert. We had early departures and they arranged for a breakfast to go for us one day and an early breakfast the other. The location was perfect for us. The rooftop terrace was a beautiful setting for breakfast or an evening glass of wine with olives. The service was amazing.

Eric, Didier, Ahmed and all the staff at the Riad were amazing. Nothing was too much trouble. The room was so comfortable and beautifully decorated. Breakfast was lovely every morning on the sun terrace by the pool. We had dinner at the Riad one night it was amazing. Be sure to book your transfer from the airport direct with the Riad. It makes the process very simple. The Riad is only 10 mins walk to the main square. It was a very safe walk and we were given great recommendations by staff. Le Foundouk restaurant nearby was lovely. We booked the salt mine excursion to the Atlas Mountains through the Riad. A great day was had with our guides including a delicious lunch included. Thank you for making our stay such a good experience and for all your great advice. Best wishes Natalie and Peter
