Riad Marhbabikoum, moroccan guest house in marrakech medina — Hotel in Marrakesh Prefecture

My husband and I met our 20 year old daughter and her three friends for a long weekend at Riad Marhbabikoum. It ended up being the absolute highlight of our two week trip abroad. In preparation, I was in communication with the owners of the riad for three months prior to our arrival. We went back and forth over email to create the most amazing itinerary for us. When we arrived in Marrakech, we felt like we had been invited into their home. Their hospitality, kindness, and care for us was as if we were old friends. They organized a guide who toured us around the old city. He was not only knowledgeable about the sites, history, politics, and religions, but he made us feel safe and well-taken care of. Our guide knew the right times to visit certain places so that we never stood in line, and at each location and along the route he was welcomed by friends, vendors, and museum agents. Every morning, we met the owner and her manager at breakfast in the riad's beautiful courtyard. They made sure that we had a cozy night's sleep, a delicious homemade breakfast, and we all enjoyed a friendly conversation with them before we departed for our day. Due to unforeseen rain, the owners kindly amended our dinner reservations and itinerary for the day. In the moment, they were able to pivot and find alternate plans that we would have never been able to organize on our own. Their connections are limitless, and they are clearly loved in their community. I can't say enough wonderful things about Riad Marhbabikoum and the owners and staff. I would DEFINITELY return and consider them to be friends. I can only hope to repay the...

Very well located in the heart of the medina, Riad Marhbabikoum is just a few steps from the Bahia Palace and a 10-minute walk from the famous Jemaa el-Fna square. There are certainly many choices and numerous riads, but at Marhbabikoum, where we stayed for 4 nights, we discovered a warm and professional atmosphere, while also feeling very much like a family if you look for it. You really feel at home.|Véronique and Khalil were exceptional, just like their team, especially Hamza and Fatia, who treated us like royalty. We had all our breakfasts at the riad, all delicious and beautifully presented (various homemade jams and local honey), including the unforgettable msemmens, the famous Moroccan pancakes. We also dined at the riad every evening except for one when we went to a rooftop on the suggestion of our hosts. The dinners were also very good and generous, with impeccable service and attention.|We felt we needed at least two more days in Marrakech to continue getting lost in all the old pedestrian streets of the medina, bike around the ramparts, and explore more of the interior of the medina. We won’t hesitate to return to Marhbabikoum and we hope to see Véronique and Khalil again! Until next time, which I hope will be soon!|A big thank you again for your wonderful...
