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.

Our stay in Marrakesh was short but awesome.And we can say that it was like this mostly because of the hotel we had chosen.We arrived with a taxi very close to Riad Houma. Not sure why but our cab wasn’t able to left us at the hotel’s door. Something was happening at the main square around there so we needed to go walking.Soufiane was called by our taxi driver and gently came to meet us at the square to take us to the hotel.He kindly explained us all around Marrakesh, all to do in the city, where to go, where not to go.Mourad, his brother, was also at the hotel and supported us in every detail during our stay.The hotel is well located, VERY VERY clean, comfortable bed, sheet, towels and nicely decorated. Not to mention the breakfast, OMG! Awesome!So, once in Marrakesh do yourself a favor: stay at Riad Houma.Shukraan Soufiane, Mourad and Riad Houma’s staff.

Wonderful stay at Riad Houma!! I was hesitant to stay in the Médina thinking it would be too loud and chaotic, but Riad Houma was the opposite. It was quite and relaxing, felt like we were staying in a spa! The Riad is beautiful and extremely well maintained. Staff is excellent and beyond hospitable. The breakfast is also amazing! We stayed in the “smallest” room but it was quite large, plenty of room for the two of us! The only downside was the hot tub wasn’t working during our stay. However, they made it right by us by sincerely apologizing and offering a discount on our airport transfer which we really appreciated! All around a 10/10 stay thank you!

We stayed at the riad for one night during our stay in Marrakesh and loved it! It's a great location if you are looking to visit the saadian tombs, El badii palace, or Bahia palace. All three are with walking distance from the riad. Additionally, there are great restaurants in the area as well. The riad itself is has a luxurious feel and is comfortable. The room is perfectly sized for 2, and there is a great rooftop to relax at and a beautiful courtyard to lounge in. The breakfast was a great bonus. The staff was very professional! They are all very friendly and always willing to help figure out arrangements for the day weather it be mapping out a walking path for sites to visit or recommending food spots. Would definitely stay again!

Me and my wife stayed for 3 nights at Riad Houma in Marrakech . The Riad is beautiful , in the heart of the Medina, just few minutes away from the main square Jemma el Fna . We had dinner included and for 3 nights we had amazing meals in the beautiful terrace of the Riad. Room was very comfortable and clean and the place really peaceful. But the real pearl of the Riad is the persons working there. One especially , Mr Sofian , the night receptionist made really the difference . First of all Sofian is very passionate with his job . He was the one calling us the show with the map were to go , what to eat , how to move … but more then anything else his availability was amazing . We asked them what time was dinner and he simply replied : whenever you like, I’m here all night !. This really made our stay outstanding because we had the possibility to go out when the sun goes down and the temperature is cool … without rush and come back at 2230 to have dinner. This really helped us a lot to visit the city without being in rush to come back for dinner.Also Sofian likes to talk in a genuine and polite way to guest , this made us really feel like home . Thank You Riad Houma and thank you Sofian , my friend and amazing host. Lorenzo and Jenny
