There are few things that made our short stay a bit difficult. When we came back from a walk, we had to wait outside the riad for about 10 minutes — ringing the bell, calling, and knocking — but no one answered. I was with my small child who urgently needed the toilet. We were later told it was during a staff shift change, but as guests, that shouldn’t have affected us — my daughter was really distressed by the wait. Also, we had arranged for an early breakfast at 7:30 instead of 8:00, as we had to leave for the airport. But at 7:30 nothing was ready, and we had to wait another 15 minutes. That left us only a few minutes to eat before we had to rush out. Finally, since the riad is located in the Medina and we had a car, we couldn’t drive close to the entrance. The nearest parking was about a 15-minute walk away with child, and in 50°C heat with a small child and heavy luggage, it was very tough. I didn’t see any notice in advance that the riad wasn’t accessible by car, which would have been helpful to know as first-time visitors to Marrakech.

We had a wonderful stay in this very beautiful and cozy riad. By arrival we got maroccan tea and sweets, while wait for the room. Check in and check out was fast. Wifi works great. There are two lovely indoor pools with refreshing cold water— one deeper, and one perfect for kids: my 6-year-old daughter could stand in it easily. The rooms are just gorgeous, with stunning Moroccan-style interiors. Very quite in the night, even it situated in the heart of Medina. Everything is peaceful, calm music plays softly, and every detail is well thought out. The breakfast was generous and tasty, real moroccan style. The staff are kind, polite, and always smiling. We truly enjoyed our time here!

If you are allocated on the last floor there Are a few steps

This Riad is great under all aspect. Quality, location, staff and service. The breakfast Is served and every day there is something different. I really recommend this unit and a special thanks to Braim the Night porter who was fantastic.

Riad bab nour was in an excellent location and the staff were so friendly and very helpful. The rooms were comfortable and the rooftop was the best place for chilling out. Definitely bringing my friend Shane next time!

The only downside was that the area around the relaxing pools was sometimes a bit dirty with hair on the ground. Nothing terrible, but it was the only thing we noticed that could be improved. Otherwise, everything else was great.

Breakfast was almost the same every day, but it was really tasty. The rooms were clean and cleaned daily without any issues such as WiFi problems, water outages, or AC malfunctions. There was a beautiful view from the patio, which was located on the rooftop and had plenty of seating and loungers for relaxing.

We liked everything!

We very much enjoyed the Riad Bab Nour for a variety of reasons. One, the staff arranged for our transport and portage to and from the airport which was extremely helpful for us. Second, the riad is situated is close to the square and restaurants and it is within the medina itself. There there was much to see and do within easy reach. Third, the staff was extremely accommodating and addressed all of our needs. Breakfast was served every morning on the peaceful and comfortable rooftop, and the food was ample, delicious, enjoyed by our family of 6 of all ages.' There are two dipping pools on the first floor which were great for winding-down and lowering body temperature after a day in the busy medina and the amazingly chaotic square at night.

I stayed 7 nights at Riad Bab Nour and it became my little cosy home during those days in Marrakech! It was very nice, very clean, liked my room which had a little terrace of its own. Bed was very comfy, I slept really well. Room had an AC for those hot days in Marrakesh, so it was just perfect. The staff was so lovely, nice and caring, I couldn't haved wished for more. They also helped me organize some trips and made sure I had a nice breakfast even when I had to leave early for those tours. It's very central, but inside the Riad it's totally calm. It has a lovely roof top terrace where I enjoyed a delicious breakfast in the mornings and some mint tea as well as some reading and relaxing time in the evenings before heading again to the nearby souks. Would definitely book again and totally recommend, especially as a solo traveller.

The property was clean and very well presented. The room was cleaned each day and bed made while I was out. The rooftop was lovely.

The road outside the riad could have been improved but it was still safe to walk down.

My wife and I loved our stay at Riad Bab Nour, the location was perfect , the Riad was beautifully decorated giving a really authentic feel to the place , the breakfast was delicious and the staff were incredibly kind and helpful especially Abdellah who on many occasions would help us out.

Riads are very open concept and while it was a great unique experience for our family, probably not as suitable for many kids or louder families. There are many narrow stair wells and you cannot get a car to the door of the riad, something to consider if you have mobility challenges or a lot of luggage. There are people you can pay to help with luggage of course.

My husband and I stayed for three nights in May 2025 with our 3 year old child. We had a beautiful room on the 3rd floor with a king bedroom and separate twin beds. The Riad was updated with good wifi and nice bathrooms, we even used the little pools in the common area. The breakfast each day was amazing and they were very friendly. We forgot our iPad when we checked out and realized at the airport, they immediately contacted us and drove it to the airport - above and beyond what I would expect. Great value for money, 2 minutes off of the main Jama square, quiet because it is a bit down an alley but not far enough that we did not feel safe.

Incredibly tranquil and very pretty riad situated a several yards down an alleyway immediately off the hub of the main souk but close enough not to worry about any safety issues when leaving the Main Street. You cannot believe you are seconds away from the hustle and bustle as it’s so peaceful inside. We have visited Marrakesh before and stayed a little central but this riad is perfectly situated if you are shopping and want to take your heavy purchases back throughout the day. Staff were always friendly, polite and happy to help with any request. The breakfast is traditional and is really lovely to be served on the rooftop when cooler. We asked for them to arrange a transfer to the airport which was a little more than you could arrange yourself from the street but they helped with our luggage and arranged for a private car which was very welcomed when faced with the chaos of trying to muddle through the busy streets, in the heat and with heavy luggage.

The narrow street where the riad is located made me a little nervous after dark particularly as a solo traveller. Having said that I did not have any bad experiences.

Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Traditional Moroccan breakfast made me want to get up in the morning.

Bar area not utilised as it could have been, for example mock cocktails on the terrace as the sunset would have been lovely. Our bedroom suffered with a little street noise, but that was to be expected so close to the souks.

Staff were brilliant couldn't have been more helpful. Good varied breakfast served either on the terrace or within the riad. Only a few steps from the souks.

Rooms aren't fully soundproof, but that's common to all of the riads

The staff were so accommodating. When I came down with horrific food poisoning, they pushed my checkout time as late as possible and then let me stay in the lobby until it was time to go to the airport. They then carried my bags 15 minutes to the taxi. I don't know what I would've done without their kind support. Thank you Brahim!

The vegan healthy (no deepfried or refined) breakfast that we asked for was only a small cup of fruits cutted 😐

A traditional morroco house with very nice coloured walls. They have a nice hammam and an amazing rooftop where we had breakfast and traditional mint tea. And situated right next to the main square in Medina (old city).

Help desk has to buzz you in access to the facility each time you leave. There isnt an access card or key to get into the building.

Great experience. I love the room location and the place gives you an organic experience/sensation.
