  Amazing riad, with exceptional service and hospitality

  05 Feb 2026

  We had an amazing stay at Riad Charai! Hicham was an exceptional host, friendly, welcoming and attentive. The pictures of the riad online do not do it justice, it is just fantastic! It's peaceful and clean with amazing staff. The breakfast every morning was excellent, and the service was amazing. We were lucly enough to get a room upgrade to the Safran room which was beautifully decorated with lots of light , the sounds of birds in the trees and a terrace to enjoy the sunshine.There is nothing I can say to fault this riad, highly recommended if you want a great, peaceful place to escape the chaos of the Medina. Hicham- thank you so much for everything! We truly enjoyed our stay at Riad CharaiCerisse and Rodney :)

  Magical Marrakech at the Riad Charai

  25 Oct 2025

  My friend and I have just returned from the most magical trip to Marrakech. It was everything and more than we could have dreamt it to be. The Riad (Riad Charai) was the most stunning of places - an oasis of calm and tranquility in the heart of the bustling Medina. The Riad was beautiful, clean and immaculately presented. The food was fabulous and the staff were incredible. We want to say a massive thank you to Houssam from Riad Charai who went out of his way to make our stay perfect. Nothing was too much trouble for him. All very reassuring as it was our first trip there. He was so kind to us both and helped us with anything we needed. Every day a lovely welcome from Houssam and all the other staff. Would highly recommend this Riad and especially if Houssam is there. Thank you for making our trip one to remember. Marrakech is a beautiful place to visit.

  A beautiful, comfy and romantic Riad to spend your time with someone you care or by yourself.

  09 Apr 2025

  We stayed for 1 week at the Riad. There is nothing to complain about. The location was great, the food was delicious , the staff were friendly and very welcoming. We met Abdul, Said and Abdherham and they were the most friendliest persons you can imagine. They were very helpful and welcomed us with open arms. Although the Riad is located a little bit outside of the city center, it is still accessible by foot (around 25min walk). However if you want to visit the new city (Geliz) i would recommend to take an uber as it is quite far. Our stay was outside of the holiday season which was perfect as it was very calm and quiet throughout the whole stay. if you plan to go during holiday season keep in mind that it might get quickly full during breakfast. The Riad tried to offer different dishes during breakfast which was nice since we were able to try new traditional foods. The food on their menu during lunch and dinner was delicious, especially the lamb and chicken tajine and the chicken pasta 10/10. Our room was very clean , cleaning staff came by every morning to change the towels and to make our bed. They sometimes folded our clothes and kept everything tidy. I would recommend this Riad to everyone.

  Beautiful Riad north of the Medina

  18 May 2024

  We spent 5 nights at Riad Charai. Group of 4 women.The Riad is situated a bit north of the Medina so perhaps a bit more quiet than other Riads which are more in the thick of it. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly and no request was too much. An airport-transfer was organised through the Riad. I was travelling alone and was very thankful to rely on this service which picked me up from the airport and brought me to as far is possible by car (20€) – then someone from the Riad came to meet me and took me the last 10 meters to the Riad itself.Between our group we had two rooms, both unique but equally beautiful with moroccan designs. The room was clean and towels changed daily. The rooms are situated around the dip-pool in the court yard on different floors. We stayed in a suite on the ground floor but the other rooms had more steps to negotiate. Breakfast was served on the rooftop terrace – It consisted of local breads, pancakes and cake, fruit and freshly squeezed orange juice, coffee and mint tea. Omelettes on request. Simple but perfect and authentic. We had an evening meal on arrival that we had booked ahead of time – tanjine, salad and briouates – all very delicious. The Riad itself does not serve alcohol, but the staff were happy to let us consume our duty free - providing us with tonic water and lemons. We also had a couple of meals/snacks around the pool during our stay.We used the taxi service many times to get to restaurants in the evening and to some of the sights – it was extremely convenient and it was possible then to arrange pick ups from where we were dropped off, which was very handy. Each trip was 20€, which is fairly pricey, however the service was excellent and the bill was added to our hotel bill so there was no need to pay in Dirhams.It's probably a good 20-30 minute walk to the center of the Medina. We relied on Google maps to negotiate the maze of alleys. Getting lost is just part of the experience.Thank you to all the staff for making our experience in Marrakech so memorable.

  Marrakech Worth a Visit - Riad

  22 Apr 2024

  Stayed for 5 nights with another couple. The rooms are decent and the location is good. Its a bit north of the main Medina square. We enjoyed our stay. The breakfast was quite good and varied on all the days we stayed. There is a small pool - but this was very cold as its not heated and even in April during the afternoon the water felt quite cold. There is a good seating / relaxing area. There is no tea or coffee in the rooms was lucky we took some masala tea packets otherwise we would have struggled. They do serve their Morrocan tea but its not the same.
