We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Riad Houma, and couldn't recommend it highly enough. The staff really made the experience for us, Sofiane and Movrad were incredibly helpful and hospitable throughout our stay, and made such an amazing effort to make our stay unforgettable.I can also highly recommend the food here, which was genuinely the best that we tried whilst in Marrakech, and was highly authentic local food, offering better quality and value than the typical tourist restaurants, as well as a great breakfast with homemade yoghurts and local breads.The roof terrace was a fantastic and quiet place to retreat from the stress of the city, but the location meant that the city centre was within a short walking distance. There was a jacuzzi as well as shaded areas and umbrellas to keep cool in the heatOverall this was such a great experience and we were so happy to have chosen this over other Riads, and especially over staying in a hotel, and would come back if returning to Marrakech without a second thought.

This riad provides excellent service from reception - special thks to Mourad, Aisha (I think) housekeeping team who did an excellent job. We had a great stay in Marrakech. All positive points in other reviews about the Riad are true, so I will just add my little discouveries around the the Riad. Room is spacious, rooftop spa is a plus, you will need that after a day in the Medina.Be mindful that the toilet is open and has only a curtain, you hear everything Taxi cannot parked in front of the Riad, you need to walk less than 3 mns from the taxi drop off. When you get out of the taxi at the gate, beware of people who “help” to show you the way. They expect a tip not less than 30dh, was rude and pushy, for less than 3 mins walk, I had a bad experience with that, beware.Location is centrally located, safe, i don’t have a prob even in the evening (avoid small alleys of course) . Bahia palace is less than 5 mns, Jemaa El-fnaa is 15mns but there are lots of shops around so you do not feel the distance.Try Lumière de Marrakech, they offer an excellent 3 course meal (salad, tagine and dessert) for only 60dh on top floor with views of Medina, really cheap and worth it. 1.5L of water is 6dh at the corner store of the Riad. Dry cleaning is cheap. Negotiate taxi ride, we paid from 20dh to 80dh for same distance, the drivers all tried to charm you with sweet talk, add an extra for the ride.... One told us he will bring us to visit a Herboriste for extra 20dh on the way to Jardin Majorelle, it was at the corner of the street or 2 blocks away, so put a big “question” mark on what was told. The average ride should be around 20-25dh. Morocco is a great country, Moroccan are super hospitable, it is a very people interaction country, don’t expect punctuality, system to work, everything is negotiable, and don’t take it too personal if they are aggressive, once you push back, they back off. They know how to deal and read people. Have fun and enjoy Marrakech.

Nadia and her staff were wonderful and so accommodating. Dreaming of going back again! We found this Riad by chance, as our first accommodation did not work out. We were exploring the streets of Marrakesh and were lured to Riad Houma by the scent of orange blossom. We literally followed our noses all the way to the front desk.Nadia was so gracious and took the time to show us the Riad even though we were not even guests yet. We were so impressed that we booked the next 2 nights..I wish it had been longer.The rooms were beautiful, the Riad was stunning and the location was perfect, super close to the souk and Jemaa el-Fnaa. We would definitely stay there again.

We accidentally came across this Riad while booking the hotels last minute.This was our first visit and stop at Morocco and we were slightly apprehensive.However, Riad Houma was absolutely perfect.They arranged for our pick up from Casablanca airport. We were received by Soufiane at the taxi stand who accompanied us to the Riad and explained us the directions.We were greeted by the refreshing Moroccan green tea upon arrival.The room was amazing. Very clean and spacious. The bathroom has all the amenities.The Médina is just minutes walk and the Riad is at the best possible location.The breakfast was fantastic and so was the dinner which we had on the first night.Also, this review wouldn’t be complete without mentioning Mourad.He was there all the time and was extremely helpful. A very sweet natured person. The day we were leaving, the internet wasn’t working because of a nearby fire but he generously helped me connect to his personal hotspot.He always had a smile on his face at all times of the day.I will recommend Riad Houma to everyone.
