Very tiny rooms!!

We only stayed here for a night. We had the quadruple room. However the space felt very small and we were bumping into one another. Overall value for the money we spent was really good. However I feel there are other riads with bigger spaces that might be better options.

This new property is immaculately clean, safe, and comfortable. The young ladies working there were most cordial, and they served an amazing breakfast. Homza and Ali also provided excellent service and recommended many tourist sites along with providing an upgraded room! I highly recommend this Riad in Marrakech.

I only stood one night in a tourist condensed area. Riad is located among the alleys of merchant shops. The rias staff was available 24/7, attentive, and gracious. I was upgraded rooms from a single bed to a double, in a larger room, overlooking the patio. The place was very clean and hospitable. There is minor city noise. If you're a light sleeper, morning prayer will wake you around 4:30am it was nice though. Convenient location next to shops, dining, taxis, and atms

Even though the hotel is located within the Medina or the “old town” you can tell everything inside the hotel is new and modern. The staff is super hospitable making you feel right at home. The location is extremely convenient, 2 minute walk to the main square, or 2 minute walk to the streets for taxi services. Despite being very close to the main square, the hotel is really peaceful and quiet. Can’t recommend this place enough!!

My recent stay at Riad Full Moon was nothing short of fantastic, largely thanks to the outstanding service provided by Ali and Hamza. Their genuine friendliness and helpfulness made my time there truly memorable. Additionally, the riad's location, was just a 5-minute walk from the main square, making it extremely convenient to get to anywhere. And to top it off, the buffet breakfast was a delicious start to each day. I highly recommend Riad Full Moon for its impeccable service, prime location, and the exceptional hospitality of all staff, especially Ali and Hamza.

We absolutely loved our experience at the Riad Explore. Perfectly located in the heart of of where you want to be...easy walking to souks, Jemaa el Fna, palaces etc. You are right there! All the rooms are named after famous people and are very Moroccan in decor. Great breakfast on the rooftop. The staff was very helpful, fun and professional. We felt very safe. A little to find but so worth it and part of the charm of this sopecial place

We stayed in 4 different Riads while in Morocco. This was the newest and nicest. Completelty redone. They even had TVs in the room, unlike the other three. Not the easiest to find, but its ok. Medina is just steps away. Staff was friendly and super nice. Highly suggest staying here.

Le petit dej une calamité. Un service 2/20, manque de couvert de serviette de tout. Le minimum n’était pas fourni. Le serveur, non chaland, nul.on a attendu longtemps pour tout. Je ne recommande pas du tout cet hôtel, passez! Seul point positif de l’hôtel son emplacement pas loin de jama El fna
