Riad Ben Tachfine — Hotel in Marrakesh Prefecture

My friend and I stayed at Riad Ben Tachefine for a week.

The staff was very welcoming since before our arrival, and contacted me well before our stay to offer some additional services (taxi for the pick-up, and traditional dinner at the riad) and advices. Despite these services have an additional cost, I appreciated the fact they offered them anyway.

The riad is conveniently located in a small alleyway near one of the Medina’s door. It takes a short walk to get to the Suks and some of the main attractions. The interior offers a beautiful showcase of traditional Moroccan riads and each element provides an exotic sense of authenticity. Rooms are a bit dark since they have windows on the internal cortile but no windows on the side of the road, but again this appears to be typical of Moroccan Riads. On the ground floor, there is a reception with staff letting guests in and out; a beautiful cortile where they serve breakfast/meals and a SPA. On the first floor there are 4 rooms and another space where guests can sit and relax. Finally, there is a terrace with sunbeds on the second floor where guests can relax and enjoy a nice Moroccan sunbath.

The complimentary Moroccan breakfast is absolutely amazing and changes every day to allow guests to try different Moroccan foods. It’s served on a traditional metal stand with three different layers. On the bottom tray, there are 4 different Moroccan dishes; on the medium layer there are several condiments (jams, yogurt, honey, etc.), and on the top layer there’s usually another sweet treat. We did not try the dinner so I am unable to comment on that.

Staff was always there to help. From answering the door, to providing advice and helpful tips. At some point, we needed laundry service and the staff arranged it for us at a small price.

Unfortunately, the Wi-Fi wasn’t good and we were not able to use it during the busiest hours of the day when the hotspots were eventually congested. It was working fine early morning and during the night, but during the day there was no way to use it. Also the room did not have liquid body wash as the Riad provided traditional soap bars that were a bit too squishy and difficult to use, and for which we needed to request a new one every time we consumed one.

Apart from this, both my friend and I personally enjoyed staying at the Riad and can definitely...

Das Riad Ben Tachfine ist wirklich eine großartige Unterkunft. Wirklich jeder Mitarbeiter ist äußerst nett, stets hilfsbereit und einfach Herzlich. Meine Frau und ich gaben uns immer wieder mit den Mitarbeitern unterhalten und dabei so viel offenheit stets guten Rat und Freundlichkeit erfahren dürfen. Die Zimmer sind wunderschön gestaltet besonders die Badezimmer sind schön. Zu anfang hatten wir due Hitze etwas unterschätzt und leichte Schwindelanfälle. Als wir dies dem team mitteilten haben sie sich liebevoll um uns gekümmert und weitere feuchte Handtücher zur Verfügung gestellt und uns beraten. Da man sich in den Souks leicht verlaufen kann wurden wir vorgewarnt und mit handgezeichneten Skizzen versorgt. Auch tolle Ausflüge in die Wüste mit Quad oder Kameltour die wir über das Hotel gebucht haben sind sehr zu empfehlen. Letzter Tipp: Die Secret Gardens ums Eck sind ein kleines Naturparadies und besteht aus dem Islamischen Garten und dem Exotischen Garten. Am besten 2x hingehen. Einmal für einen ersten Eindruck und einmal mit mehr Zeit um die wunderbaren Pflanzen und due paradiesische Athmosphäre zu geniessen. Auch der Berühmte Garten von Yves Saint Laurent ist nur 15 min entfernt und ebenfalls beeindruckend mit toller Architektur Farbenpracht und dem ebenfalls dort befindlichen Berbermuseum das auch sehr interessant ist. Liebes Team von Riad Ben Tachfine- Danke für alles!

P.S: - ein kleiner Vogel ist im Hotel mit seinem Zwitschern zu hören was so unglaublich süß klingt und dem Heimkehrer nach jedem Ausflug ein Lächeln ins...

My wife and I traveled to this Riad and instantly felt at home. The staff are very welcoming and accommodating, the breakfast presentation is beautiful and the atmosphere is very calm. Making this a great place to come back to after a busy day in the old town/souks. We hired an English guide from the Riad and he was excellent.

We also brought our 7month old and he loved it (they have a travel crib) . Would definitely...
