A calm and beautiful oasis of hospitality.

Marrakech hustles and bustles. There is no shortage of people seeking to take advantage of a tourist. All that ceases at the door to beautiful Riad Al Kadar. You enter and are transported. Within you find a perfect fusion of old time Moroccan style with modern European amenities. Tile and stone work are beautiful. There are roses and citrus in abundance. Rooms surround the courtyard each one spacious, well appointed with excellent bathroom and shower. Breakfasts are feasts that change a bit each day. The wonder of the Riad is your host, Michele (mee-KEH-leh) an Italian gentleman with an unsurpassed gift for hospitality. He does not know the word "no." He will fulfill your every wish. Meals, transportation, advice, but also far beyond the standard. He found us a color printed banner for a presentation and a paper shredder (don't ask). We ate in various fun Marrakech restaurants. Our best meals were prepared by Michele himself. "We don't have time to go get lunch, Michele," "don't worry" 20 minutes later we're eating a beautiful Italian pasta with bread, wine, cheese in honey, salad, snacks, the works. In Marrakech don't do anything without first asking the price. With Michele, abandon all caution and place yourself in his hands. Ask for anything, let him deliver and depend that the bill for the extras will be beyond fair and reasonable. We travel extensively and have never been treated to a higher, better yet totally affordable oasis of hospitality..

Good atmosphere, long distance

It was our first time in Marrakech with my brother. I choose this Riad because of comments on Expedia. Good decoration related to Morocco culture with italian touch (his owner is italian). Great welcome with mint tea served by a berber women. As per expedia advise us that Riad had some problems with water, they solved, and put us in three different rooms each day, this let us to know different rooms. The room in firs floor has the problem that during morning other guests stayed at the living room in front of the bedrooom talking, if you want to sleep more, that would be unconfortable. Michelle (owner) was kind, however, he could be more customer service oriented to give recommendations to first time guesses, about right prices for taxis (for example he helped us to take a taxi that charge us 50 dhr (5 euros) to go to the Medina (that was around 10 minutes walking, but in the night it's hard to find a taxi. After we find that in the villa a taxi charge 15 dhr. Other thing was that he offered us to have dinner, and we paid the more expensive dinner that we had paid in Marrakech, 20 dhr (20Euros) by person, it was beef balls with sausage, tomatoe and olives salade, orange caramelized dessert. In general we ate for 6dhr each one. My mistake was not asked him before, but I would expected to pay at most 10dhr for the dinner. Lesson learned. When you travel thinking in stay in a Riad better choose to eat on the street restaurants close to the Medina. I felt deceived

Everything with Excellence

When you arrive, you feel you just arrived at a friends place, Michelle made us feel very welcome and does everything with excellence. We have never seen such a clean hotel. Michelle also walked us to the main square in Marrakech so we wouldn't get lost, which was really helpful. Thank you again for having us :)

Riad Al kadar

Beautiful interior, the renovation is faultless, with attention to period detail which gives the feeling of stepping back in time. Michele obviously loves his home and is a charming host. The breakfasts were delicious and varied, the cook (and her daughter) both very skilled and accommodating. The only problems were that, in March, it was a little chilly in the room at night, plus there is a mosque just across the street which has the most unmusical muezzin we have ever heard - and amplified! Woken up at 5 and again around 7, every morning. The location is in a pretty dumpy neighbourhood, full of mechanics' shops and dust roads. Also it is ONLY JUST inside the Medina and it's a good 45 mins walk to the Jamaa el Fna, not 15 as someone claimed. As a lot of road building was going on it's not a pretty or easy walk, either. We enjoyed our stay there but would find a place nearer the centre if we went back to Marrakech.

A beautiful and calm Riad

We had five days exploring Marrakech staying in the Riad al Kadar. It was the perfect option for us. A beautiful hotel on the edge of the Medina its ideal for those who want to stay a little bit away from the tourist bustle. Michele was our wonderful host ensuring that everything ran smoothly for our stay, providing us with recommendations for day trips and first hand tips on everything from buying spices to garden visits and endless supplies of mint tea! The Riad's food is delicious and beautifully presented. We especially liked the rooftop terrace for end of the day relaxation watching the sun set and the storks fly overhead. Cant wait for our next visit!

Beautiful Oasis in the old City

My husband, daughter, and I stayed at the Riad Al Kadar for four nights. Our host was wonderful and very accommodating. The Riad itself is very warm and beautiful. They prepared a delicious dinner for us one evening -- one of the best meals we've had. Please arrange for reliable transportation from the airport to the Riad -- ask Michele (host) to arrange for you. We can't stress that enough.

Feast for the senses in the Medina of Marrakech

Riad al Kadar is a delightful small riad in the medina of Marrakech, with 4 guest rooms arranged, in traditional style around a small courtyard. In a city of contrasts, the riad offers calm, comfort and luxury. Italian owner Michel is a model of hospitality, and nothing is too much trouble, whether its organising excursions, airport transfers, or a rendezvous with the hammam. The beauty and craftsmanship of the building and furnishings are mirrored by the delicious home-cooked food, which we would absolutely recommend. Lets just say that it wasn't enough just to eat the dishes prepared for us...we felt we had to photograph everything first too! Truly a jewel of a place- after a crazy day in the chaos of Marrakech, you will be very pleased to sink into a sofa and sip mint tea to the sound of the little fountain...

Home away from home

I took my mum here for a small getaway and this Riad couldnt have been better. Mikel the owner was absolutly amazing. He did everything he possibly could to make our stay enjoyable and comfortable. Beautiful Riad that was incredably clean and well looked after. We ate dinner every night which was plentiful. 3 courses for dinner which was home cooked traditional morroccan food. Our rooms were cleaned and tidied every morning and breakfast was always different every morning. (And lots of it!) We wod definitely be returning! :)

Wonderful Riad

We stayed in Riad al Kadah for the Easter weekend and though it is out of the centre, the walk back through local streets was easy once learnt. The Riad itself was very attractive and the service was excellent. It is next door to a mosque and the Call for Prayer can clearly be heard in the early hours however it was easy to get back to sleep!

Tranquility in the Medina!

Just 20 mins walk from Jemaa El Fna, this Riad is a quiet and tranquil resting place after the bustle of the city. Michele and his team provide a lovely welcome and nothing is too much trouble. Michele organised taxis, a restaurant booking and a day trip to the mountains. A highlight of our trip was the meal we had at the Riad, prepared by Michele. Absolutely delicious. Highly recommended!!

A hotel of class and comfort

This is a character full small (5 rooms) hotel. The owner has created an experience which balances the charm and luxury of a first class guesthouse with an authentic Maghreb ambiance. Nothing is too much trouble for a most sympathetic patron. Please make an effort to use French or Italian if you can, along with a curiosity of the local lifestyle and you will get a lot more from your stay.

The Jewel of the Medina, a superb stay!

We had a excellent stay at the Riad Al Kadar. We could not have asked for a better hospitality from the owner who manages the raid and maintains very high standards across the board. Michele goes beyond his call of duty to ensure that your stay is comfortable and pleasant all the time. Breakfast are a real treat. You should try their homemade dinners. I highly recommend the pastilla!! Marrakech is city to be discovered where you can find beautiful things as well as become overwhelmed by the sounds, colors and smells. You just need to observe and learn in your first day. Don't hurry to buy the first thing you think because you are wound to find fine, high quality handicraft once you have been there for a couple of days. Marrakech people are one of the best business people I have ever encounter in the whole world so do not be shy an negotiate a good deal for both parties!

One of the best places I have stayed

Small hotel, tastefully decorated and very very clean. Wonderful traditional layout. Staff were overly helpful. The owner was always available. Even accompanied us short distance to show us directions. Showed us point of interests on the map. Beakfast was included and way above our expectation. Can dine in with pre-arrangement and you won't be disappointed with the quality and the price. Hotel is located in the old part of the city and very much a poor residential area. However, this in fact puts it in the close vicinity where the tourists would want to visit. We walked to the squares and bazaar where all tourist attractions were. Overall, We will have no problem to go back to this family like hotel. Do not expect big hotel facilities such as Gym, sauna, big reception area or a door man. Otherwise, there is a very good chance you will be happy with you stay here.

nice place shame about location

Chose establishment as it was described as clean and quiet. It was. The owner was friendly and home cooked food very good. However it is located a good 20 minute walk from the main square through a less than pleasant section of the city. Once having navigated the journey, not an easy task, we were happy to walk during daylight hours but a taxi is required after dark. Located accross the Street from a smaller mosque it was convenient to be called to prayer but not for sleeping. Overall, okay, but I would not stay there again.

Wish we could have stayed there for ever!

Small Riad about 20 minutes walk from Jamee al Fna, the main square. Spotlessly clean. No tea or coffee making facilities in the room but owner will provide hot water, milk and sugar for you to make your own so take tea-bags and coffee. No fridge in room either. Huge breakfast with boilled eggs, fruit, granola, yogourt, cake, different types of bread, conserves, coffee and freshly squeezed orange juice etc. Expedia description of rooms a little missleading. There are NO balconys only the corridor outside the 4 rooms overlooking the central courtyard. Private kitchen means the Riad can prepare meals on request, they are not a facility in your room. Lighting in rooms is beautiful but a little difficult to see if you want to apply make-up. Riad is beautifully furnished. Lots of attention to detail by the wonderful owner Michel. He made us feel like one of the family.

Simply brilliant

We would recommend Riad Al Kadar to anybody wanting to visit Marrakech. We had a wonderful stay with excellent food and a brilliant host in this beautiful riad. It may be slightly further out from the main square than other Riads, but the route to reach it is very simple - a real help for those who find Marrakesh navigationally challenging. Just wonderful, if we could change just one thing about our stay we would have eaten the fantastic Moroccan food served at the Riad more than just once.
