In the heart of the Medina, step right out into the vibrant city and what a treat to return to such a calm and tranquil place. The rooftop terrace was much larger than most and the Riad has such a relaxed vibe. Maraoune and Bader were great hosts. Reserve your couscous in advance for your 1st night stay, it was delicious. After that there are several good restaurants nearby. Hope to return one day!
The staff was very nice, accommodating and helpful. Once youâre in the room the WiFi is horrible and our bathroom has hair still in the shower. However, I believe it was a honest mistake and was missed. I still would recommend
Staff were very helpful. Always enthusiastic and will to offer advice or assistance. Iâd highly recommend talking directly to Riad for travel arrangements coming to and from accommodation. Unfortunately we didnât and finding it was near impossible. It would be beneficial if Riad contacted customers directly on booking. Accommodation was clean and restaurants nearby were excellent. An experience for sure and one Iâd recommend
The hotel itself was great, the staff were amazing! They went out of their way to make us breakfast every morning and cleaned our room. Definitely recommend the breakfast and dinner!
Be aware as the location of the hotel is in the Old Medina âalleys.â A taxi will drop you off about 15 minutes walking distance as there is no access by car. It is a labyrinth and typically you will need to walk through the market to get to the hotel. There is motorcyclist day and night driving through the labyrinth. The vendors can be aggressive and having to walk by everyday was exhausting. It is a great experience if you want to truly immerse yourself in the culture and their everyday life.
This Riad is in a great location for access to the Souqs, Square and other tourist attractions. Itâs also close to several restaurants. The food was great and the staff were very nice, polite and helpful. We would definitely go back!
We stayed at Riad Capaldi for 6 nights for our first time in Marrakech and it was just beautiful. The staff were so helpful and couldnât have done more. The place was so clean and gorgeous - breakfast was traditional and great every day. The area around the Riad is very typical Morocco, it looks a little scary but honestly is very safe and is within walking distance of absolutely everything you could need!
My only improvements would be: no WiFi in the rooms and your 4G signal will not work unless you are on the roof terrace, so prepare for an unplugged stay!
The Air Conditioning doesnât work very well so the rooms can get hot and if you open the windows there is no privacy, so this was a little difficult. There are no rubbish bins in the rooms, but we used carrier bags and would leave them for the cleaner so maybe consider taking some with you (cleaning was so thorough, clean towels and robes every day!!)
The Riad will offer you transport from the airport, which is a little expensive at 220MAD (ÂŁ18/âŹ22) but it is worth it as taxis just cannot get to the area - this way someone will help you get there with your bags.
Take care getting back to the Riad at night as Google maps will try to take you through the Souks - but the doors will be shut between the streets. Instead adjust your maps to take you via car and follow the roads - a bit of a longer walk but this way you can actually get through.
Highly recommend this Riad and with some minor changes it would be 10/10!
Absolutely wonderful stay at Riad Capaldi. The Moroccan hospitality was out of this world. The breakfast on the rooftop terrace every morning was delicious. Beautifully peaceful oasis in the midst of the chaotic medina.
I had a fantastic stay at Riad Capaldi in Marrakesh. The riad is in a great location - peaceful yet walkable to all the main attractions, making it the perfect base for exploring the city. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the traditional decor added to the charm of the experience.
Breakfast was lovely, with a good selection to start the day right. However, what truly made my stay exceptional was the outstanding service provided by Mehdi and Bader. They went above and beyond in every way, ensuring I felt welcome and well looked after throughout my stay. Their professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail made all the difference, and I canât praise them enough.
I would not hesitate to return and highly recommend this riad to anyone visiting Marrakesh!
