I travel to Morocco frequently and I have to say this is the best place I’ve stayed so far. The entire staff is extremely attentive, professional and helpful with anything you need. I felt like I was at my second home truly. I wasn’t ready to leave. Riad Challa is definitely my go to place when I visit Marrakech again!

Riad is beautiful and location is great. The room was clean but had a very slight sewage odour you noticed each time you walked into it. Staff was a bit aloof.

Average stay

The building is beautiful, but difficult to find. The AC leaked all over one of the beds and the floor for most of the time we were there. The Medina is very close once you learn the alleys. The room was very beautiful, except for the leak. The bathroom was lovely and we didn’t have any issues with the hot water.

All the staff were extremely helpful and friendly, nothing was too much trouble at all. Kamal and his team amazing. The location of the hotel couldn't of been better very close to the main square and a lot of lovely restaurants. Facilities were great we didn't brave the pool it was a tad cold this time of year, but did look amazing especially at night.

Edge of medina vey convenient.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The hotel is was lovely with delightful and helpful staff. Good breakfasts. WiFi and Aircon both excellent. It is located close to Jmaa el Fnaa so excellent evening entertainment on hand, but equally taxis nearby to go further afield. The only slight drawback was a smelly drain in our bathroom which we dealt with by running the fan.
