From the moment we arrived, we felt welcome and well taken care of by Imane who ensured we had all the information we needed to fully enjoy Marrakech! She and her team( Soumia, Ayoub, Wafa and Fatima) answered our many questions patiently, guided us toward many special sites to visit, and very helpfully made special arrangements for guides, evening events and taxis. Our room was lovely! All rooms overlook the courtyard which is exquisite. Rooms are beautifully decorated in traditional Moroccan fashion and the bed was very comfortable. A couple of nights were a touch chilly so we appreciated the heating unit. We looked forward to the traditional breakfast on the upper terrace every morning. Everything was fresh, delicious and carefully prepared. A great way to prepare for the day’s adventures. The location was excellent. Our street had many restaurants, coffee shops and fresh fruit and vegetables. It was near a main taxi spot, so just a short walk with our luggage to check in/ check out. And very close to the action and excitement of the souks. Jemaa al Fna was a 15 minute walk. We really can’t say enough about how everyone made us feel at home at Riad el Youssoufi. Thanks so much!

We truly enjoyed our stay at Riad El Youssoufi for several reasons. First of all, its location is excellent: it’s situated on a quiet street with no shops, which allowed us to sleep peacefully without any noise. The area is also privileged, just a few steps from Bacha Coffee and the Secret Garden. Other points of interest, such as the Koutoubia Mosque, the Ben Youssef Madrasa, and Jemaa el-Fna Square, are also within walking distance. As for the riad’s facilities, everything was very well maintained and exceptionally clean. We were also impressed by the punctuality of the service. The transfer we arranged to pick us up from the airport and take us back was right on time, and the breakfast was always served promptly at the hour we had agreed upon the day before. Everything was fresh and delicious: yogurts, fruits, cakes, breads, and other Moroccan specialties. The staff were warm, attentive, and welcoming, creating a pleasant and comfortable atmosphere throughout our stay. We would especially like to highlight Soumia, whose exceptional hospitality made a lasting impression. She was always thoughtful and proactive, ensuring that everything was to our satisfaction and offering help whenever needed. Her assistance went far beyond expectations — she patiently explained the city map, gave us useful tips on using taxis, and guided us on how to navigate Marrakech with confidence. Thanks to her kindness and dedication, our experience was significantly enriched, and we genuinely felt at home.

Everything was really fine.

Our stay at this riad was absolutely wonderful! The place was spotless, beautifully maintained, and located very close to all the main tourist attractions. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful, assisting us with everything we needed and making us feel truly welcome. The breakfast was excellent, with delicious and fresh options every morning. This riad became our peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of Marrakech, offering a perfect balance of comfort and authenticity. I wholeheartedly recommend this riad for anyone looking for a fantastic stay in Marrakech. Everything was just perfect!

Everything was great

The Riad is simply gorgeous, very well kept and offering the immersive experience everyone should look for when visiting Marrakech. Imane, Ayoub and all the rest of the guys gave me an amazing welcome and helped me arranging local experiences with great effort and warmth. The breakfast is the freshest you can wish for and one of the best I've had in Morocco, it is served on the terrace overlooking the whole medina. This area of the city is very welcoming and even though the medina might be a bit scary at first, if you're not used to this kind of spaces, it is absolutely safe and easy to walk/explore. Lots of souks, restaurants and friendly people are waiting for you.

The location was great, with an easy walk to all the main sights and the Medina. Also very convenient for tour pick ups, which were on a road nearby, only a 3min walk. The riad was lovely, with an amazing roof terrace - we ended up hanging out here often, playing cards. The staff are attentive and even brought us up sweets, cookies and tea while we took in the sunsets. Breakfast was plentiful, with lots of variety and is up on the terrace. We were given lots of recommendations on places to eat and the staff even assisted with making a dinner reservation for us. I would highly recommend this riad and would gladly return!

Nothing

The staff are amazing. Great value for money. A quiet riad in a busy town. The food (breakfast and dinner) were very nice, well presented and traditional. Nice room. Really liked the location. Away from the business of the main square but close enough to walk (10 / 15 minutes). Nice little area to explore other restaurants and shops. Despite initial appearances, the local area is very good. We also walked further afield to more upmarket restaurants in the new quarter, which is about 20 / 30 minutes walk away.

A little tricky to find, particularly as taxi's can't drive you to the door so you'll need to walk 5 minutes from the nearest drop-off point. Make sure you have your mobile phone internet access setup beforehand so you can use Google maps. Our room looked to have been built on to the side of the main building so we were over the alley way. Consequently, the early morning deliveries being wheeled down the cobbles or people walking / talking / mopeds feel like they're with you in the room. That said, it's not a busy alleyway (it's a dead end) so only used by residents or visitors.

We had an amazing stay at this Riad! The staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, making us feel at home from the moment we arrived. The breakfast was delicious, with fresh and local ingredients to start the day perfectly. We booked all five rooms for our group, which gave us the entire Riad to ourselves—a truly special experience! The location was ideal: close to the medina, yet in a peaceful area away from the hustle and bustle. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an authentic and relaxing stay in Marrakesh!

This place was just perfect ☺️🤩. They are so good in taking care of their guests, they cleaned our rooms everyday and kept it clean and ready to crash after the long activities. The best thing about them is that they were always treating us and welcoming us with their great smiles 😍☺️. Special mention to Ayub ☺️who presented the breakfast and dinner with utmost care and love ❤️. Thanks a lot Youssoufi for hosting us, you have a great place, keep it up. Thanks for the suggestion of rooftop cafe in Essaouira, we loved it.

The hospitality at Riad El Youssoufi was exceptional. We were warmly welcomed and all staff who we met were friendly and attentive. The rooftop terrace is a peaceful space and the breakfast provided was incredible. The communal spaces are beautifully maintained and the bedroom was spotlessly clean. Riad El Youssoufi really is a calming oasis which contrasts the liveliness of the city perfectly.

A minor issue but we had a bath in our room but unfortunately no plug for the bath so couldn't use it.

Within walking distance to the Main Square

Better directions. Gave the address to taxi driver but he still had to call the property to get directions. You have to walk about a block to the property as there is no access for vehicles. When taxi driver dropped us off, some tout brought a luggage cart and offered to cart the luggage to the property for us. He sounded as he was from the property so we accepted his help. Then he demanded 10 Euros. First bad experience in Marrakesh. Warning: Whoever offers help with luggage is not from the property.
