Hosting, Breakfast, Location and Space in the priperty

Stayed in May 2025

Pool: The roof terrace was super, but we could NOT use the mini pool. That was a disappointment to some of us. It was cold, dirty and actually had worms in it (!). We did actually ask before we booked, so that we would be sure that we could use it, and we were told that it could even be heated if we wanted that. But again, we assume that it was the old owners responding to us at the time. Now it was impossible to use, and we did not get any explanation why that was. Excursions - do NOT buy excursions through the Riad. Some of us went on a trip to the desert and it was very overpriced. All the other persons in the same bus (people who had booked through other agencies/by themself) had paid much less for the exact same excursion... This is not a very smart thing to do for a hotel, and very short sighted. Because every hotel guest that get scammed like we were, will be disappointed and hopefully write about it in their reviews...

From the time we made our reservation at Riad of the storks until we actually arrived (mars 2025) the Riad was sold. So all the things we read in the earlier reviews here at Booking, for example about this Omar and the other staff (and other things), do not apply anymore. When a place is sold and changes its regime, they also inherit all the super good reviews from before 😊 The new owners don't have the same staff and both the rooms & the breakfast are now more expensive. However, we got the old price for the room, but not for the breakfast. All of this should be taken into account when choosing to stay at Riad of the storks. Our review: We were 9 friend & it was perfect to have the whole Riad to ourself. The roof top terrace was the best part, sunny & absolutely wonderful. The Staff - Mohammed and rest of the staff were all very polite, nice and helpful. Location – Super great! Located in a nice area inside the medina, but still not in "the middle of the souk" with all the people & noise. Only a 10-15 minutes nice walk to the square Jemaa el-Fnaa. Rooms - They are all different & quite charming. However: no cleaning, no new toilet paper etc during the stay (4 days). It is a bit boring when you have to ask for these things (like toilet paper...) however it is of course NOT a big problem... Breakfast - like i said the price was higher than we had been promised. Many people have written in the reviews that it was a fantastic breakfast, but we would rather call it "nice"... (one of the days they even run out of coffee (!) - NOT good for coffee drinking Swedes). We suspect that the "fantastic breakfast" was also were made by Omar & the old staff. Now it was an ok/good breakfast and we do recommend it since it’s not too expensive AND you can eat it on the terrace! Saying all this, we really think the Storks was a great place to stay at for a big group like ours & we do recommend it!

Everything was perfect!

Everything! We were a group of 5 and had the Riad for private use. Excellent location, we walked to all main attractions. Karim and the staff really made a difference with their fantastic service. We asked to organise a dinner and breakfast and both were excellent for a very reasonable price. Everything we asked was well organised, from airport taxis to booking a hamman and massage. I will stay here again when I come back to Marrakech and can strongly recommend this place, specially if you are coming with a group.

Very well located and the staff were super friendly!!

Stayed in November 2024

We could have used a couple more bath towels, but that was a very minimal issue!

The staff were extremely flexible and helpful. We felt very supported, comfortable, and taken care of! We rebooked the same Riad for a second time during our stay when we returned to Marrakech from our tour of the Sahara, and we would absolutely come back again!

Stayed in November 2024

All was fine, though the rooftop tub could've done with being heated! 😁

Karim and the team are all very welcoming, happy to assist with anything you need.... the breakfast is very good value. The location is perfect for exploring the Medina etc, all within easy walking distance.

Exceptional host and facilities

Stayed in October 2024

From the very beginning until the last moments of our trip the hospitality was 5-star. Omar organized an amazing experience for all of us. He prepared a traditional Moroccan dinner and breakfast. The host paid attention to every little detail and took care of us every step of our trip. It was an amazing experience and we recommend it to everyone who wants to feel the Moroccan spirit. شكراً جزيلاً

We loved everything about the property!!!

Beautiful Riad in a great location, close to lovely restaurants and landmarks. Riad of the Storks was truly a home away from home. Omar, our host treated us as more than paying guests. He treated us as members of his extended family. His service was second to none and he always went above and beyond to make sure all our needs were met. No request was too big and he was always on hand to help, be it restaurant recommendations, endless cups of tea and glasses of orange juice, arranging taxis and even sourcing a printer so we could print our passes! Superb, unbeatable service. We can’t wait to come back one day! Thank you Omar, from the bottom of our hearts!

The riad is excellent, the breakfast is fantastic, typical Moroccan. Omar is an excellent host, who will welcome you with great tea and will be able to help you with any problems or requests you may have. We opted for a dinner prepared by Omar, an experience that catapults you right into Moroccan culture. The riad is clean, and cozy. It is hard to find better

We liked everything!

Breakfast was delicious, we enjoyed the variety of dishes!

Hot showers for all the rooms although Oma did his best to ensure this.

Oma was a wonderful host. Ensured we had a comfortable stay. Shared with us his experiences, enriching our understanding of Moroccan culture and tradition.

If you're tired of impersonal hotel rooms and would like to experience a bit of Moroccan hospitality, this is the place. Omar was a fantastic host. He met us where the taxi dropped us off to ensure we would find the house, cooked us dinner and breakfast, and gave recommendations on things to do in the area. We even texted him a question about where to buy something, and he came out to show us his favorite souk. The house was a quiet oasis in the bustling of Marrakesh, with spacious and comfortable rooms, while being easy to walk to the main square and palace. After a week's worth of hotels, staying with Omar and enjoying dinner on the rooftop patio without noise and other tourists (especially after walking thru the main square 😂) was the perfect way to end our trip.

Omar and Wafaa were amazing to accommodate some of our last-minute needs

Stayed in July 2023

Amazing location. The riad is beautiful. We were two families, 6 kids in total, and there was plenty of space for everyone, both the patio and the rooftop were great spaces to hang out. The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and everything was clean. Omar the host was wonderful!!! So nice, friendly, helpful with everything we needed. Breakfast on the terrace was also great and with generous portions of everything- I'd recommend it!

House needs updating. Everything else was excellent. Specially the host and service. Nice and very quiet place. Location 10+.

The Riad has an amazong location. The manager Omar helped us with everything and orginized us even a dinner in the terraze. The experience is really good. With some friends we have a very happy stay!

Omar was a great host. We were in Marrakesh for my sister’s bachelorette and this Riad was beyond our expectations! Amazing price for the quality of the stay and the food offered.

This is the 4th time we have stayed at Riad of the Storks, and this time with the whole family + two friends. The riad works perfectly for several families or friends to travel together and stay together in a central location in the Medina. You get both privacy and being together, good breakfast and a wonderful roof terrace with lounge, small pool, sun and shade. The location is both safe and close to sights such as Jamaa el Fna Square, Bahia Palace and Badi Palace. Highly recommended!

Stayed in October 2022

Pictures are dated: 10 years seems to be passed from when the riad was on that condition. The place needs renovation and deep cleaning. As other reviews mentioned, there are people loving in the riad lobbie, which means you won't have much peace or privacy.

The location is perfect, you can easily walk everywhere in the medina, it's a few minutes from the main square. Staff was helpful and communication was easy.
