The staff were super helpful. They gave us the best advices for our trip plus the breakfast they served us was beyond great. The room was perfect and very comfortable. We were in the terrace, in the last floor and were alone in that floor so it felt very private. The air conditioning and the WiFi also worked amazing. Also, they printed for us the boarding passes for our flight back that we really needed. The location of the riad is also great. It is not that close from the jamaa square but it is great to go for a walk in the souks.
The private bathroom of the room had no walls or door to close it properly, so we needed to take turns in the room sometimes. Not the biggest deal but it is not ultra comfortable.

The riad is full of details where you could spend some time exploring the different views from rooftop to the public room. It's also nice to have delicious freshly made local breakfast. We also love staffs are very friendly and helpful. They help you plan the route to have a nice visit in Medina and some very useful advice to save your money.
The entrance is hard to find for the first time visit. It would be very helpful if they can send the picture of the door. But we got help from local people close to the door, they are really nice and friendly.

For an unique and fun travel experience in Marrakech, opt to stay in a riad instead of a regular hotel to truly experience the Moroccan way of living. We opted for Riad Ben Youssef and the host was very attentive and informative. The riad itself is beautiful and fun to explore during your stay. While breakfast could be improved given some guests enjoy heartier breakfast options, I am aware that what was served is very accurate to an authentic Moroccan breakfast.

Beautiful Riad in a quiet yet central location. The breakfast was exceptional, but above all we valued the welcoming and attentive staff. As it was our first time in Marrakech, Hakim's advice and help upon arrival was really valuable; he met us where the taxi left us, and then took extra time to help us orient and provided all sorts of important info. Having stayed in other riads afterwards, we were really happy that we chose this place for our first couple of nights.
We were overall happy with the room we booked, but perhaps one of the bigger rooms will feel more comfortable to some travellers. The location was great for us, but if I was a female solo traveller, passing some less central alleys on the way back at night, would make me feel uneasy - I'd choose something even closer to El Fna or return a bit early.

We have been able to stay for a week in Riad Ben Youssef. A fantastic experience. The Riad was located in the middle of the Medina, around the corner from the Koran school Medersa Ben Youssef and close to the famous souks. All famous sights were within walking distance. The management (Hakim) and the staff of the Riad were there for us 24 hours a day. At the very friendly reception we were extensively informed and advised about the do's and don't's. The rooms at Riad Ben Youssef were fine. In addition, we could use various additional facilities: the rooftop, a swimming pool, a games and reading room, a beautiful relaxing courtyard, etc. Hakim arranged reservations on request. He also arranged taxi transport to and from (in the middle of the night) the airport. In one word: a great Riad, with an excellent price/quality ratio. Definitely recommend.

We absolutely loved this place, the photos don't do it justice. It's absolutely stunning, both the inside spaces and the outside spaces. Everything was very comfortable, especially the bed. It's so peaceful, sich a welcome respite from the bustle of the city. Marwan and Hakim were both very friendly, looking after us while giving us privacy. I woke up here on my birthday and I felt like a princess!
It was a bit difficult to get the shower to a good temperature.

My husband did not join us on this trip, it was just my daughter and myself, but from the moment we met the driver sent by our accommodation, (who was sympathetic about our very delayed arrival) we felt welcomed and very safe. The Riad Ben Youssef was so clean and peaceful. As soon as we entered through the old wooden door in the wall, we were in a sweet smelling, shaded sanctuary. At the end of the hall the beautiful courtyard opened out in front of us: orange and lemon trees, a central water feature, brilliant sunshine, shaded patios and the sound of birdsong. The pool was beautiful, especially in the evenings, and the view from the roof-top terrace was breathtaking. There were numerous areas where you could relax, read, admire the art work and furnishings or chat with other guests. Breakfast was perfect for us; some traditional and very tasty, but also plenty of bread and butter with lots of different preserves. A carafe of freshly squeezed orange juice and thermal jugs of hot milk and coffee were always waiting for us. The location could not have been better; we were only moments from the beautiful Medersa Ben Youssef, at least two fabulous restaurants well recommended locally and right at the heart of the Medina. Hakim, the proprietor, was absolutely charming. He spent a lot of time explaining the do's and don'ts of the area and told us about the places not to be missed and the places to avoid. His concern for our safety and happiness was incredible and very comforting. He was able to book various tours and tailor them to our needs and arranged for a local guide at very short notice; we had a fantastic day with Ali (I hope that is the correct way to write his name) and saw so much we would never have discovered ourselves and learned the meaning and the history of it all.
I am really struggling to find any negatives

My stay at Riad Ben Youssef was totally fantastic. I was travelling alone and my experience was made seamless from start to finish! The staff added so much value to my time in Marrakech and made sure I had everything I needed during my stay. The interiors were gorgeous and the setting of the pool was beautiful. It was a great quiet place to come back from after the busyness on the streets. Highly recommend this to anyone and would like to go back one day myself.

Hakim is the kindess. Communication was great. He gave us good advices for first time tourist in marrakech, what to avoid, the scams. Also, what to see and where to shop. Room very clean. Its amazing how the noize of the busy medina stop in the riad. You are in the quieter area of the medina. Not too far from the center. The staff very kind and professional. Hearty breakfast. Really recommend. Choukran from Canada.

This Riad is so pretty, very private, and Hakim is an exceptionally kind and funny hotel manager. I was drawn to this Riad because of its beautiful details in this historic building, and it did not disappoint. We stayed in the roof terrace room, and the sounds of the Muezzin with his beautiful voice during morning prayer is something we will continue to remember very fondly. Breakfast, restaurant recommendations, directions etc. were all perfect. Thanks to Hakim and his team!
It was perfect.
