Toufik, Achraf and Khamissa looked after us wonderfully. We had a delicious breakfast included every day and the location was excellent for exploring the old town. We were a group of women and felt very safe walking around together. The team were so helpful in their advice and helping to organise things for us. The Riad also provided home-cooked meals (to order) which were authentic and delicious recipes - better than any we had in the local restaurants. The terrace was quiet with great views, perfect for sunbathing and games - even in January. As a group of young women travelling together we felt so safe and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Riad Pachavana. Thank you!

Nothing, it was perfect and we would love to visit again.

You approach the Riad through narrow streets and enter through a huge wooden door into a amazing space which contains a small spa pool and lush green plants. Its really welcoming after the drive from the airport. The room we stayed in was Beautifully decorated in traditional Moroccan style, huge walk in shower, private enclosed outdoor space. Breakfast was served between 8-10am on the rooftop with a choice of seating areas both covered and open space. We had a slightly different breakfast each morning the selection was brilliant and plentiful. Staff where really accommodating, couldn't do enough to ensure you were happy.

No facilities in your room to make a hot drink when you awaken. No fridge in the room to store cold water. I guess this might be one of the things that makes staying in a Riad different to staying in a hotel room.

What a wonderful calm tranquil Riad in the heart of the hustle and bustle of Marrakesh. It was everything we wanted and more! Beautiful breakfasts, lovely rooms, such a gorgeous setting with little areas to sit and chill. A lovely roof terrace for a bit of sun or you could sit in the cool areas around the pool. Wonderful location as we could walk to the souks, YSL museum & gardens etc. The staff couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful, thank you for a wonderful stay! ❤️

It’s a shame that the Riad didn’t serve alcohol but I think that is the case with most of Marrakesh. There are a few restaurants around that do. Although the hotel does serve alcohol free wine.

We had an amazing time at Riad Pachanava. It fully exceeded our expectations! The Riad was beautiful - far more so than in the photos! Our room was lovely and we enjoyed the pool and breakfast. The managers Hamisa and Achraf were extremely attentive and helpful with all of our questions about what to do in Marrakesh and with organising excursions. All staff were lovely; a huge thank you to the chef who made the most delicious chicken tagine! We ordered it every single day of our 7-day trip! We would most definitely stay again as it is a perfect location to the square and most attractions within Marrakesh. Thank you once again!

Peaceful, beautifully laid out Riad with a swimming pool and hammam/massage services available in house. The staff were friendly and the hospitality was brilliant. The room itself was spacious and private. Breakfast was tasty. A really lovely stay, thank you!

Not much negative to say; if being picky, the shower was not very good and in fact there was no water when we needed a 6am shower (ahead of an early tour pick up). Location is not bad at all and is very peaceful, but be aware that any taxis/transfers will drop you off a few minutes away from the front door so be sure to have loaded up the route on your phone before being dropped off.

Lovely place to stay! Very very lovely staff! Great location, gorgeous Riad, nice breakfast, large bed! I would happily stay at Riad Pachavana again! The property has a lovely terrace area with lots of seating options. I can’t speak for the pool as I didn’t go in but it looked lovely! They even let us stay past check-out in the Riad communal areas due to a late flight! I also highly recommend the airport transfer as it stops you getting lost on your initial visit. There is also a family of lovely cats who live outside the Riad door!!! Some previous reviews spoke negatively about the breakfast but me and my friend were very happy - lots of variation.

I did not necessarily love how the bathroom has a decorative design feature meaning decorative gaps above the door ! However this isn’t a reason which would put me off returning !

The staff were the best thing about our whole stay in Marakesh. They were very accommodating, gave us tips even if how to deal with the locals , where are the places to visit etc. we came here during Ramadan and were fasting, they made sure that we have a delicious iftar every day. We can’t thank “khameesa” enough. She was amazing always attentive to every detail and was a great factor in enjoying our trip. The kids loved the little swimming pool. The place is quiet and we could reach every sightseeing we wanted like madras bin yousef, the souqs , main mosques on foot.

I have to emphasize there wasn’t something we specifically didn’t like . We had a big r ice room which had an air conditioning in the hot days which was perfect. If I have to say something it would’ve we wished to have more storage place for the clothes coz we were a family of four. N may be a tv would have been nice. But this wasn’t a big deal breaker for us anyway

We loved our stay at Riad Pachavana last week. 3 nights in this beautifull Riad. The driver of the Riad has waited a long time for us at the airport due to the long Passport controls, and brought us to the riad, so nice. Our room for 3 persons (Onyx) was very big and beautifull, the (much needed) airco works very good and the wifi was perfect. The very cold swimming pool was great after a warm and hot time in the city. Drinks (soda, beer, wine) was available. When we were very tired after an early flight it was no problem to eat dinner in the Riad. There are several beautifull spots where you can relax and chill in the Riad. The staff is great, very friendly and nice to us and with our boy. When we departed very early the made an early breakfast for us, very nice. The location was perfect for us, a 10 minute walk to the medina and some nice restaurants (Le Jardin, Atay Café). Pikala Bikes, for great bicycle trips are around the corner. We would recommend Riad Pachavana to everybody and we will defenitely come back. With love from the Netherlands.

Some points of attention; glasses and cutlery not always very clean. Cork in the wineglass and the waterpressure of the shower sometimes very low. An Egg, some cheese, and tea for breakfast would made it perfect, we missed this now.

The Riad is beautiful. It is set within the medina and only a few hundred metres from the busy souks. However, behind the huge wooden entrance door, the property really is a haven of peace and tranquility, the perfect place to rest and recharge after visiting the incredible sights Marrakesh has to offer. It was so nice to be surrounded by bird song!There is a gentle informality about the place which is down to the fantastic staff team who make you feel like you are one of the family and that this is your home, whilst at the same time allowing you the space to relax and chill. Our room was spacious with a really nice shower room. We were on the first floor. Air conditioning worked well. Everything was very clean. The small pool is delightful. It was the perfect way to cool off during the heat of the day. (Whilst we were there, daytime temperatures got above 36 degrees!). The seating areas around the pool and on the roof top terrace allow for space to sit whatever the weather and staff were available to serve a glass of wine , beer or soft drinks when required. Breakfast was particularly lovely, served on the upstairs terrace. Khamissa and Ashraf were incredibly helpful; providing advice about places to visit, restaurants and travel information. Khamaissa is also a talented henna artist!

In some respects, the room / property was a little run down but this, in no way, spoiled the break and if anything added to the charm! Nothing to do with the property, but if this is your first trip to Marrakesh, ensure you are at the airport PLENTY of time before your return flight. We arrived approx 2 and a half hours before our flight time and barely made it with over 15 people missing our flight! This is down to a lot of queuing for each of the security aspects. Not a problem; just something to factor in!

Recently stayed for 4 fabulous nights at the riad with my husband. Achraf was very helpful and the manager Khamissa was exceptional and gave us so much help with local knowledge and advice. She even personally decorated our bedroom for our anniversary! The room was comfortable and the breakfast was great. The weather wasn't kind to us so unfortunately we weren't able to make use of the loungers on the roof terrace but we will be back! The hairdryer broke and they replaced it straight away. Lovely toiletries and bath robes. Khamissa gave us a map and recommended an app to prevent us getting lost in the medina. It was in a great location, only 10/15 mins to the main part of the medina. They also arranged transport to and from the airport for us. We thoroughly recommend Riad Pachavava.

The only thing to mention is that It would have been nice to have some tea/ coffee making facilities in the room.
