We were a party of five that spent four nights in this beautiful Riad which has an excellent location and the most welcoming staff, their knowledge and a lovely manner are an asset to the Riad as whatever the request we had, nothing was too much of trouble and they were happy to oblige. Their hospitality speaks for themselves and as such you should be very proud and lucky to have such staff on your team because if Jalil, Abdul and Mohamed are an example of Riad Koutobia Royal, then nothing better could be asked for! Keep up the good work as we are looking forward to coming back!

I had an amazing stay at Koutobia Royal Riad in Marrakesh and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Morocco! First, the location was perfect—just a short walk from the old Medina, with everything you need nearby, including grocery stores and a cash machine. It made exploring the city incredibly convenient. The room was spacious, with a comfortable bed that ensured I had a restful sleep every night. I truly enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere. The breakfast was absolutely authentic and delicious, exceeding my expectations. Every morning, I was more than satisfied with the variety and quality of the food. However, the best part of my stay was the staff. Abdu and Jalil were incredibly friendly, kind, and approachable, always ready to help under any circumstances. Their hospitality made my stay even more special. Overall, Koutobia Royal Riad offers a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone traveling to Marrakesh!

Nothing

We had excellent communication from JALIL from the very start of our booking. He offered to book trips, airport shuttle and basically help with anything else we needed including going to the Souk to buy spices, gifts etc. and as it turned out, he not only got us the genuine article especially when it came to spices, but the prices were half what we could haggle for! Taxi arrived to pick us up as arranged, evening meal and mint tea was waiting for us on our late arrival (because we do not eat meat it was not a problem for the Riad to cook us a vegetarian meal (although we understood that fish was also available). We sat on the wonderful roof terrace eating the tagine that MOHAMED had kindly stayed late and cooked for us. JALIL showed us to our room which was bright and sunny with a balcony overlooking the street; huge double bed and being a triple room, full size single. Bathroom was rustic but very clean and we had everything we needed including toiletries and excellent hairdryer!! There was also lots of hot water with a powerful shower. Room was cleaned every day and left spotless. The communal areas are rustic and very genuinely Moroccan with lovely decoration. The terraces are shaded from the sun and comfortable to sit on with a drink or to read a book. You also have views over the city from the roof terrace so you can get your bearings!! Breakfast was delicious, with omelette, fresh bread, butter and jam/honey. Cakes and pancakes, freshly squeezed orange juice (wonderful), coffee and of course mint tea (which we both developed a taste for!). Because our day trips always started early, MOHAMED prepared for us a delicious picnic type breakfast with extra fruit to take with us. All the tour operators we used for our days out were happy to collect us and drop us off from the front door of the Riad. If you want to stay in a genuine property and be in the thick of it rather than travelling into the centre every day, this is the Riad to stay in.

Having to leave the Riad. We are very grateful to JALIL, MOHAMED and the other staff for making our stay so enjoyable.

Do not hesitate to book this Riad! Superb location, clean, spacious and comfortable. As a family of six, we booked multiple rooms. The suites are spacious and a very comfortable retreat, especially as temperatures rose to the mid 40's during our stay. But most of all the staff were INCREDIBLE. Jalil and AbdulBarr will go above and beyond to ensure that your every need is met. We booked all our excursions via Jalil making it a hassle free process for us. Each trip provider proved reliable and delivered a wonderful experience from door to door. Breakfast was exceptional prepared by the two wonderful ladies - whom were always smiling and friendly. They all made us feel like family and very much at home. Our trip to Marrakech was complete through staying here.

We didnt like leaving!! We miss the staff like family! Planning our return....😊

amazing place to stay with family. Brother Jalil and the team were very helpful. On our first day, we were not sure where to park our car. He came to us and spoke to various attendants and advised the best place to park. Amazing hospitality as well. We were travelling with a baby and Koutobiya Royal was very accommodating. They provided a cot. Breakfast is good but could be improved a bit i think. The location is also within walking distance of Koutobiya mosque and various marketplaces. its also 10 - 15 minutes drive to the airport.

breakfast items. would be nice to have eggs(omlettes) etc.

the location is great - within walking distance to Jemma el fnaa. Jalil, who looked after us during our stay, was largely very good. he took time to answer our queries, give directions, was very quick in his replies to my messages. i was not sure if i left my glasses behind - he looked for them, sent a video of the room, and offered for the cleaning people to even look behind beds etc. we asked about where to see a communal kitchen and he showed us by going there on his bike and videoing the route!

i thought the breakfast was not always great for us. Most people would be ok with it, but we were a vegan and vegetarian travelling and they could not really adapt to our needs. the one issue with service was that when we raised this issue, it could have been handled better rather than asking if we wanted to move elsewhere. i really do not like lukewarm coffee and it was properly hot once in 4 days. they could not make anything vegan for us. there was no flexibility when we asked for anything different eg for toast or chilli sauce.

Staff was fantastic, and the bed mattress was - no kidding - one of the best we had ever slept on (we even tried to find which brand it is so we can buy the same). The riad itself is beautiful and perfectly situated in Marrakech if you're a visiting tourist. Go for it with no hesitation.

The room was a little bit noisy (noises coming from the street and from other rooms, at least in room "Imlil") but it's pretty normal in Marocoo and with a pair of earplugs that was no problem to sleep ;-) The shower evacuation was a bit weak, turning it into a little swimming pool for the feet. We would also have appreciated a kettle in the room! But I am nitpicking here.

Everything was absolutely spectacular. The breakfast was delicious, varied, and beautifully presented, and the service was outstanding. The manager and Abdo were incredibly pleasant and kind, always making sure we had everything we needed. The ladies did an excellent job and were not only professional but also warm and welcoming. The Riad itself is in a fantastic central location, yet it offers a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. I highly recommend it!

Location was near main square and taxi accessible, The family room was big in size. It was clean, air conditioned, once both doors were closed the sound from the road was not bothering much during sleep. The staffs were gentle. They immediately provided if something was requested. On our departure day they provided early some foods in a packet that was very kind.

Probably it’s my previous experience & expectations that didn’t match. I didn’t feel the quiet environment of a Riad as this is like a hotel architecturally on the 1st floor. BTW you need to take stairs to the entry of the Riad. Overall our stay was good in our family situation with kids.

Breakfast was very good, if a little repetitive, served on the terrace by Abdul, the day manager who without question was an excellent host and advertisement for the Riad. He was professional, helpful, informative, attentive and caring when 1 of our party was a little unwell. A true gentleman. Overall the staff were all professional, courteous and surprisingly unobtrusive, we couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you to everyone for making our brief stay enjoyable 🙏🏽

The room, although comfortable could have been a little bigger for 3 people and full length mirror would have been a bonus ✊🏽 We will definitely book to stay in this Riad again but will specify a larger room.
