My family had a lovely stay at Riad Houdou. The service was excellent, Abdel the manager was particularly helpful and had a wealth of tips for our family's trip in Marrakesh. The property is located 10-15min walk from the main square and it is an oasis of calm, with all the usual amenities (including free filtered water, kettle in the room). Would definitely stay again.

Family friendly and Beautiful hotel. the hotel that was very clean and chic and their behavior was excellent and they surprised us for our anniversary and gave us a luxurious suite and a private pool. The person who saw us (Didier) was very friendly and kind and taught us a lot about the map of Marrakech and the sights and customs and shopping in the markets. I strongly recommend it to friends. Delicious breakfast with a nice view. The location of the hotel is the best.

Dear Chizoba, It seems you didn't like your stay with us, but it would have been interesting to know the reason why… We asked all the time at our guests during the stay if everything is fine. We are surprised to learn know you haven't been happy. We are sure the previous guest will trust the other reviews who give arguments and for most of them it's positive and won't take care of your bad review with no explanation. Anyway we hope to see you again and hope to clarify something which, we are sure, is only a misunderstanding.

WOW, a must stay. I didn’t come thinking or expecting more than normal, however the attention everyone puts in this beautiful Riad is something you don’t easily get nowadays. Eric and Didier are there all the time to make sure everyone is taken care of. The staff is friendly and the riad is a diamond in the inside. The only thing you will regret is not staying longer!

Eric, Didier, Ahmed and all the staff at the Riad were amazing. Nothing was too much trouble. The room was so comfortable and beautifully decorated. Breakfast was lovely every morning on the sun terrace by the pool. We had dinner at the Riad one night it was amazing. Be sure to book your transfer from the airport direct with the Riad. It makes the process very simple. The Riad is only 10 mins walk to the main square. It was a very safe walk and we were given great recommendations by staff. Le Foundouk restaurant nearby was lovely. We booked the salt mine excursion to the Atlas Mountains through the Riad. A great day was had with our guides including a delicious lunch included. Thank you for making our stay such a good experience and for all your great advice. Best wishes Natalie and Peter

The property has lots of character and very quirky the dining room and common area was cold and not comfortable but heaters in the room was a good thing If choosing this location be prepared for 20 min walks to find where you can drink any alcohol we were told about the alcohol restriction in the welcome e mail but not the Expedia description when we made the booking Can not fault the staff for being welcoming and helpful Not clear in the description but they only accepted cash for extras which could have been a problem just a couple of points that could help future guests .

Hello, Thank you for your review and happy to read that on general you have appreciated your stay with us. Honestly, we expected you write something wronger in reason of the non-alcoholic zone in the riad. really sorry that we don't serve alcohol has been difficult for you… I don't why this had to be written in the booking condition on Expedia. You have decided to travel in a muslim country, so you can expect to have difficulties to find alcohol. Anyway if this was so was so important and necessary for you we have indicated you where you can find. It's not as you wrote at 20 minutes by walk but at 5 minutes from the riad (The Foundouk restaurant and le Trou au mur, both have license). You have chosen to stay in a Medina and it's protect place where it's difficult to find alcohol. About the cash paiement, it's written in our website condition, it's indicated in our first welcoming email and finally we repeated it to you when you arrive. Your final bill in cas was less than 100 euros, which is not so much to pay in cash… About heater, in common zone of cours it's winter and the courtyard I open. But in the evening there is a roof and gaz heater and in dining room there is a fireplace and electric central heater. Marrakech is at only 1 hour from the mountain and of cours educing winter time it can be cold. But I'm surprise about this review because meanwhile I wore wool pull over, you wore simple Sumer tee-shirt…  Happy that anyway you find your room warm. I'm really sorry about this and appreciate that anyway you have liked the friendliness of our staff.

Dear Nico, It's difficult to give explanation about a bad notation when there is no review. Anyway, we think to know why you have let a bad notation after your stay in our guest house. You wanted to have an early check-in which was complicated for us but our maid has the best she could to clean and tidy up the room. Because you have had a red-eye-flight you were exhausted and you have slept during all the afternoon with the AC. When you went out, you said everything was fine in the room. When you came back around 10 pm, you have tried several time to use the AC and maybe because you have switch on and switch off several times the AC remote, without waiting the time for the AC to start, you have blocked the system. You went down and ask us to give you another room, if not you didn't want to stay anymore in the riad. Fortunately, we had one bedroom available and we have settle you in this new room. On the morning, you apologized about your reaction of the night before and said with jet lag you felt very nervous. Anyway, to be excused of the issue with AC (which finally worked but because of the multiple sollicitation was out of order the day before) I had done a discount of 20 %. At the check out, you said everything was perfect… You can imagine my surprise hen I saw this bad notation, and if there is anything else than your "issue" with AC, I will be happy to know it. really sorry if don't enjoy your stay and anyway I hope to see you again to not keep a bad idea of us.

Considering your bad notation, wee are sorry you haven't be happy with us but in fact you had made the choice to not come at the riad. A few days before you ask to cancel for free your reservation. As written on our booking conditions and as you know it, we charge 100% a last minute cancellation. We are a small structure and for us it's a big lost we ca't afford. By revenge, you have let this bad notation, which is your right. It's a pity you didn't came and in spite of this we hope you will give us another chance if you come back at Marrakech.

Houdou means "serenity" in Arabic.
You leave the overwhelming smells, sights and sounds of the souks, down a small alleyway, through an unassuming door, and into the most peaceful and tranquil oasis in the middle of the medina. The proprietors care deeply about your experience in their home and world. Take all their advice and you won't regret it. Immerse yourself in an experience you won't soon forget.

If you are going to Marrakech I would highly recommend staying here. The service provided really helps you make the most of your time in the city. The location is a 10 minute walk from the main square and although right next to the hustle and bustle as soon as you are in the Riad it's lovely and relaxed. I would definitely advise using the hotels pick up service from the airport as I'm not sure you'd find any Riad without it!

The Riad is well kept and very comfortable, and located less than 10 minutes by foot from the main square and less than 7 minutes from the souks and Museum of Marrakech. The rooftop terrace is very nice, the breakfasts are delightful. The hamman and massage services offered at the Riad are great.

Warm welcome by owners, riad very decorative
We had a warm welcome from Eric and great personal service from Didier. Abdel gave us an informative guide to the city and led us to Djemaa el Fna on the first morning. The riad has been made very decorative. We did feel however that fewer ornaments and more usable space would be better, as the room was very compact, and practical maintenance could be improved.

Great stay and location with wonderful hosts
Overall stay was excellent, but there were a few minor drawbacks. Positives - host(s) were amazing. Welcomed us with tea and the next morning went over the area with a map and walked us out to the medina. Filtered water available downstairs. Free breakfast available downstairs or on the rooftop. Bed was comfortable and in-room safe offers additional security. Rooms are quiet with no outside noise from the medina. The few drawbacks were based on location and cleanliness. The riad is a bit on the further edge of the medina and thus a little further away from some of the local attractions. Not a big deal, but just a bit further to walk at night. The bathroom's organization made it a bit hard to keep clean (water splashed everywhere) and there was significant dust on some of the shelves and under the bed.

Thank you so much for your review and happy to read you liked your stay with us. About the two drawbacks, you mention, we are sorry you didn't like the location. Our riad is located in a traditional area, which give you the occasion to see the moroccan life in a safe environnement. We are not agree with you about the distance with sightseeing: we are 2 minutes by walk from Maison de la photographie, 5 from Medersa Ben Youssef and the touristic souk. And the main square is only 10 minutes by walk… About the cleanliness, we are very confused about this and we apologize. We check all the time the rooms before arrival and we clean each day the rooms. But we all make mistakes and maybe it was the case for your room. Thank you for the advice and we will be more vigilant in the future. Anyway we hope to see you again.

From the minute we were met at the airport to leaving the Riad everything was wonderful. The care provided by Eric and Didier (and all the staff) was just lovely. Nothing was too much trouble. The Riad was stunning and our room, although one of the cheapest and a not enormous, was beautifully decorated and the bathroom was very attractive. Breakfast on the roof terrace (different every day) with home made breads, yoghurts and jams was absolutely delicious.
Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2018
