Our stay at the Riad Sofia was delightful. The staff, Abdo and Chikhe were extremely helpful, informative and constantly good natured. From the moment everyone got there they sat visitors down, helped them download map apps so that you won’t get lost, what to look out for, what to pay and even where to get our wine. The Riad itself was very central, extremely pretty and very peaceful with a rooftop terrace where we could drink our wine and relax. Overall our experience there was wonderful and l found the Moroccan people to be extremely humorous, friendly and welcoming. We thoroughly recommend Morocco and this was a great place to stay.

Location is perfect to move around the entire relevant places in the city by walk. The staff very helpful, kind and proactive. A special reward to Abdul and Said who were always welcoming and supportive to any needs. Breakfast more than satisfactory with good choice and very big portions both local and international. Fresh orange juice every morning was a plus. The Sofia gives you the real taste of Marrakech with beautiful decoration and interiors. The Riad provides also airport transfer on request. The quality/price is great. We could leave our luggages after check out and we were also offered an extra complimentary "leaving tea".
Some guests, I'd say, unrespectful were smoking in common areas (which are relatively small and, being a courtyard inside the Riad, it's difficult to change air). Also, guests talking loud after 11.00 pm shouldn't be permitted.

Beautiful building,full of character, genuine Moroccan architecture,we felt like we were in one of those 1001 nights stories.... being December we didn't expect to feel so cold in the room so we needed an extra blanket and put heating on as windows and doors are not insulated or double glazed😉.... breakfast could have been a little richer, with more choice and better organized but it was delicious, we loved the freshly squeezed orange juice and fig jam. Situated in the heart of Medina, close to all sights, the souks, Jemaa El Fnaa famous market square we felt like locals.
A few issues with the hot water, breakfast wasn't well organized

We have just returned from a 4 night stay at Riad Sofia. We really cannot fault this place and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Marrakesh. Firstly, the location couldn’t be more perfect if you want access to the busy hustle and bustle of the Souks but also want a quiet and peaceful location, where you can feel at home and escape the busy streets. The Riad itself is beautiful, the beds are incredibly comfortable, the rooftop perfect for a laze in the sun and the indoor plunge pool is a really special feature. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff- they made us feel welcome the minute we arrived, serving us fresh mint tea and a delicious, fresh breakfast every morning. We would not hesitate to return.
Nothing!

It is really a lovely RIAD, inside narrow street well cleaned, with plants and many lovely cats. We have breakfast and dinner as well, really good and cheap. the staff very friendly and professional like everyone, everywhere. the location is really 50m from the main meeting point for any excursion. It is really close to the many attraction point, walking you can reach the secret garden, to jemaa el fna square (honestly I didn't like particulary and i don't love see animali trated in that way). to reach this place you can do it walking and sorrounded by many tipical shops
nothing in particular to sign about. you need to just remember you are not in London or any other wester city, i say this because few people concerned about many staff, my opinion, it is the essence of travel and see the difference around the world.

The Riad was super, very well located, with an easy walk into the centre and souks. Once we checked in we were served fresh mint tea in the peaceful courtyard. The rooms were beautifully decorated and the staff were so friendly and helpful, in particular Abdul. He arranged transport to and from the airport for the 6 of us and organised a trip to the Atlas mountains and waterfalls. We had a freshly cooked Moroccan breakfast every morning sitting by the pool in the courtyard. On our last day Abdul and staff arranged a beautiful Moroccan dinner served on the roof terrace. We had a wonderful stay and look forward to returning.

We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful Riad. The location was great, the room itself was simply gorgeous and the breakfast was delicious. The staff was exceptional!!! We were very well taken care of. Special thanks to Said and Abdol, who were very friendly and would go above and beyond to help us with anything we needed. Nothing was too much to ask. They provided us with very useful tips to navigate the city and made our stay in Marrakesh truly unforgettable. Thank you for everything! I would definitely come back!

Authentic surroundings. Our room was spacious with large bathroom. Good air conditioning (temperature was in 30’s)! Staff are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble for them. Breakfast was plentiful and you can change your selection the day before. Sun terrace is very comfortable with lots of shaded seating & loungers. Location is excellent with all major sites within walking distance. We c also booked the airport transfer which is worth it particularly going from the airport.
Bed not the comfiest & as others have said sound travels easily within a riad environment but neither major issues.

The staff at the Riad were exceptional. They just look after you, engage with you and help you plan the best stay in the time you have. If you want peace and quiet they didn’t intrude but offered tea or asked if you needed anything etc. It was like visiting family or friends but still treat you as a guest. The place itself is tranquil while being literally 5 minutes walk from the central souks. Street food everywhere that you know is good as the locals use it. The rooftop terrace is calm, quiet with wide open sky, all around. Rooms were cleaned daily and breakfast was pretty much anything you asked for. What more can they do!

The location of the road is fantastic, quiet and felt very safe. The staff are wonderful, very polite and helpful and nothing is too much trouble. The breakfast was amazing! We were out a lot so didn’t eat lunch or sinner. Very tranquil. The doors and windows of the bedrooms are shutters which means that you hear everything, in saying that we were not disturbed in anyway, and part of the traditional house. It was a bit tricky to find initially but once you are able to navigate Marrakech it gets easier! Would 100% stay again!
Nothing.
