Riad Chergui

I’m fortunate enough to travel the world for perspective. Initially, we were not impressed with this accommodation. Just looked a little bit run down, leaves around just missing initial presentation. We had the last room which was room five stairs up to our room had an old town and litter on them and the next day the room along the corridor was being renovated as were the stairs which made going past not the best experience. The room was clean, but the blanket on the bed for display was old as were the Bath robes which we didn’t wear but couldn’t help noticing that they looked like they wereover 10 years old! Towels weren't the best hit either. We had three black moths in our room and some mosquitoes which put us off considerably. HOWEVER- This Riad was definitely a grower … the breakfast was wonderful. The pool was cute and had a nice bar area although quiet when we were there as I think it was the beginning of the season as lots of maintenance work was ongoing around uswhich didn’t go down particularly well when I was snoozing! It’s cute this place, we saw the deluxe rooms and they looked lovely and I think our experience would’ve been much more positive. This Riad is very Moroccan and has the potential to be so much better so easily. As it’s a small property, I think it would’ve been nice for the owner to come and introduce himself and chat to us which over to much prefer doing rather than on here. The location is perfect. Down a few alleyways like most of them but very safe. We really liked the people of Morocco very friendly, not pushy. Even though this review is slightly negative I think that if the property had been ready completely for its guests and we have been in adifferent room then I probably would have said that it had the potential to return to.

I stayed at Riad Chergui from Sunday 22nd to Thursday 26th February 2026 and can only recommend this place. There were three of us and we had booked the Deluxe room. Upon arrival, we were greeted very warmly with mint tea and delicious cupcakes, which immediately put us in the Moroccan atmosphere. The room was very nice and above all impeccable: it was cleaned every day and a bottle of water was offered daily, very appreciable attention. The breakfast was hearty, excellent: a real treat! The Riad is peaceful and bright. You can hear the birds, which creates a very relaxing atmosphere after a day in the animation of the medina. The staff is really attentive and always available. Little particular nod to Rachid, always smiling and very attentive. The location is also ideal, very well located in the medina, which makes it easy to discover Marrakech. During our stay, we were able to enjoy many activities: a quad bike and camel ride in the desert, an excursion to the magnificent Ouzoud waterfalls, and of course the unmissable discovery of the souks. An unforgettable stay in a charming Riad. We will return with great pleasure!

The owner at Riad Chergui is a real treasure. Her enthusiasm is infectious and she is a joy to talk with. She went out of her way to help us several times. The riad is lovely and the food very good. She had great recommendations of what to see in Marrakech and how to avoid the typical tourist downfalls. I felt she really cared about us and wanted us to have the best experience possible.
