Riad Aubrac

Beautiful Riad in a quiet location in the Medina. Only a short walk to the main square. Room very comfortable. The owner who speaks perfect English; the man that covered the evening/night, early morning and staff were all very helpful and someone was always available. Breakfast was good; simple but perfectly adequate and well presented.

Clearer signage and better lighting to the Riad from the nearest street and in the alley leading up to the Riad would have been useful. A menu or list of breakfast options with the choice of teas, eggs etc would have been helpful. As our knowledge of French is limited we did not fully realise what was available.

The room was clean, beds comfortable, air conditioning worked great, water got HOT, and plugs near the bed. The Riad was relatively quiet, in a safe but central location, had a great Moroccan feel, small and quaint.

The woman at the front desk spoke English very well, and was able to answer our questions and work with us on the accommodations. Unfortunately she was only there some days and never in the evening. The gentleman that took her place was friendly and kind, but spoke almost no English which made it difficult to communicate. The only other complaint is that even with all of the lights on, the room never felt quite bright enough.

We stayed in the suite style rooms which were big and spacious with a lovely bed. Courtyard was beautiful and featured a lovely roof terrace with panoramic views of the surrounding buildings of Marrakesh The staff in the property could not have been nicer. They went above and beyond for us including picking us up from the airport so be sure to ask them for this if you are nervous about finding the property like we were, they will 100% look after you if you have any questions The riad was a 10 minute walk from El Fna square. The Main Street just round the corner is one of the many streets leading off the square so a brief walk and you’ll be in the heart of Marrakech The quietness of the riad was very welcomed to. despite being in a busy location you wouldn’t know it when standing on the roof terrace complimentary morrocan mint tea on arrival. even if you’re not a tea drinker and prefer coffee like us always say Yes to this as it’s definitely different! If you’re a cat person (like ourselves) you’ll be happy to know that the local cats are well looked after in the nearby alleys. The owners seem to feed them at the front door and the local cats usually welcome you as you step into the riad, have a look out for them coming to say hello on the roof terrace too

no room for sun beds on terrace. an addition of this would’ve been perfect if it was any hotter I.e summer months (it was January and around 20/21 degrees at the time not such a big complaint really) our room was next to some pipe-works we suspect as every morning there was water noises which sometimes woke us but wasn’t so annoying (1st floor left hand room)

Very nice personnel, especially the cat Blacky, the princess of the Riad :) The room was cozy but clean, firm and comfortable large bed, clean bathroom. The location is very good, in 10mins walk you are in the Medrasa or the big square.

Nothing, everything perfect. Just maybe note that some rooms may only have a curtain to close the bathroom (ours was the Gentiane room). Not a negative, but good to know for some couples ;)

The staff were very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this accommodation for locality and cleanliness. Breakfast was plentiful.

I wasn’t aware that they have a live in cat. Unfortunately I am allergic to cats and this fact needs to be included in the Riad’s information when booking.

Great place to stay for the authentic Marrakesh experience. Nothing too much trouble from the staff, always there to assist with booking excursions, helping with suitcases, guiding us through the myriad of lanes to the nearest pick up point for the taxis when going out, roads nearby too small for taxi to come immediately outside hotel. Plenty of atmosphere immediately around hotel, Souks, markets, restaurants, cafes etc. Fabulous experience and exceptional value for money

Nothing - everything was perfect

We stayed for one night in Riad Aubrac. The location is great, right in the center. The staff was super nice and helpful and the hotel has a nice rooftop.

It was a bit difficult to find the hotel (Google Maps and Booking do not show accurate location) and the small street towards the Riad is dark. The take-away breakfast could have been a bit more. The personnel did not speak English very well.

Everything was perfect! The riad is beautiful and very clean. The owner is very kind and he helps us to book taxi and other stuff. Breakfast was excellent (fresh orange juice, mint tea, bread, pancakes, homemade yogurt, jams). Highly recommended!

Nothing

Staff was super friendly and helpful when we asked for extra blankets. We also got lost looking for parking and they came and met us, leading us to the parking lot! We felt the place is a great value for the price!

The breakfast was ok but pretty basic compared to other riads around Morocco in the same price range. Things like warming up the bread or adding a few boiled eggs would go a long way. The only other thing we didn't love was that a curtain separates the bedroom from the bathroom and not a door.

I enjoyed my stay at this Riad. The experience was lovely, and the staff were so kind. Breakfast, the cleanness of the room, everything was exceptional. Don't await luxuries like in traditional hotels. This is the real morocco, and on that basis, I would recommend this place for a real immersion in the culture. There is no cons considering all the information have been provided before our arrival.

The lack of bath's door. It was a shock for us. Nevertheless, we were aware before our arrival.
