Riad Sofia

Beautiful structure located in a strategic position, outside the Medina but reachable in a few minutes on foot. Excellent cleanliness. Mustafa stands out for his kindness and professionalism.

This delightful Riad is close to the heart of the souks in the old medina but it is quiet and a short walk from taxi pick up area. It is clean, authentic, and comfortable with a pretty pool and large roof garden including a welcome shaded area for the very warm weather. Excellent breakfasts each day. What made our 6 day stay even more enjoyable were the staff; nothing was too much trouble including patiently giving us help with our endless requests for advice … and pots of delicious mint tea throughout the days and evenings. Mustapha explained Moroccan history and traditions very clearly, with enthusiasm and intelligent respect for all perspectives - this was really important as we were there during Eid so it was all new to us! Mustapha and Ahmed also introduced us to Berber Amazigh culture, indeed we were so enthralled that we went out to buy some Berber necklaces which we wear proudly today. Day trips and transport are arranged by Mustapha and they were all good. We would return to this lovely Riad without hesitation

I couldn't imagine a more delightful home base to explore Marrakech. The staff, headed by Mustafa, was impeccable in providing five star service. The Riad has been fully renovated. In the past 10 years and has plenty of the basics like air conditioning and hot water. And it is just pretty to look at! Located down a quiet alley you will probably need help finding it which the staff will surely provide. Or will the security guy in the alley. The breakfasts are outstanding and our favorite lunch spot, Jeanette cafe, is right around the corner. Highly recommended
