Reviews of Riad Sofia

The location is perfect and the daily breakfast was lovely.

Super helfulpful and friendly hosts, beautiful Marrocan interior, great rooftop terrace, delicous breakfast, close to shouks in the Medina, refreshing pool after hot Marrakesh days.

Great reception from Abdul very helpful - authentic hotel - beautifully decorated - lovely breakfast and roof garden a bonus break from the hustle bustle.

The Riad is in an ideal location for walking around Marrakech. The property is beautiful and very comfortable and we were made to feel very welcome.

Really nice and helpful staff

Everything was great

Loved the hospitality of staff and service. Breakfast was amazing and the location was ideal to walk around and access all the major tourist attractions nearby.

Very pretty riad and not to far from the souks and jema al fina

Breakfast is the same thing every day - can do with some variation

A wonderful oasis well located with the largest bathroom and bedroom we had while in Morocco. A great location & the team there went out of their way to assist us; they were great. Oh, And a great pool to jump into after a hot day in the Medina!

The riad is perfectly located close to all the sites in Marrakech, and yet it is quiet and peaceful inside. The decor is beautiful, the beds are comfortable and everything is very clean. The breakfast is delicious and generous. Mostafa and Achraf are the perfect hosts, both are incredibly kind and willing to provide all assistance. We would definitely stay here again if we return to Marrakech!

Everything was great!

Everything from start to finish at Riad Sofia was wonderful. Transport from the airport was easily arranged and Mustafa greeted us on arrival with wonderful mint tea. The Riad itself is a beautiful building and easy to reach all the sights nearby. Mustafa provided lots of recommendations and a map for us. Sahid made us an amazing Tagine on our first night. The breakfast was delicious and fresh made and the rooftop a lovely place to relax away from the bustle of the Medina. Our room was comfortable and clean. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here the hosts are exceptional.

Nothing

The interior was beautiful! From the lobby/dining area to the bedrooms and rooftop. The attention to detail in the design. The homemade Moroccan breakfast was delicious! A lovely pool to cool down in.

Walls not very sound proof - able to hear conversations from the dining area while in bedrooms

From the start the communication with the Riad was excellent offering airport taxi service, day trips and massage. Through our whole stay, Mustafa could not have been a better host - he was friendly, professional, extremely helpful and informative. The Riad is beautiful and it was wonderful to stay in somewhere more traditional. Our room was beautifully decorated, comfortable and had all the facilities you would expect, including a stunning yet traditional bathroom. The breakfast was good and we had a delicious tagine on the roof terrace on our first night. We also opted for a scrub and massage in the Riad which was a lovely, relaxing experience. The location was ideal for us too - easy to walk to the souks and main square with lots of good, local restaurants nearby. I would highly recommend a stay at Riad Sofia.

The room could be noisy if other guests were at the tables in the central atrium. This only happened once with some late arrivals. Most guests seemed conscious of the other guests staying in the Riad and noise was kept to a minimum.

the host Mustafa was absolutely amazing. He couldn't do enough for us. all the staff were amazing. Breakfast was excellent too.

New guests arrived and the were smoking in the courtyard area and also at breakfast. You could even smell it in our room. As a non smoker , I believe smoking should only be outside and not pleasant when you are eating. the Riad was beautiful and for me that spoilt it.

While I found Marrakech to be interesting, exciting and exotic, the best part of it for me was the refuge of the Riad Sofia. The history and beauty of the building was stunning. The peace, quiet and serenity of the Riad were a welcome and much needed respite after the day’s adventures amongst the tangled alley ways and shops. I must say the best part of the trip, besides my wife, were Mustafa and Said. What style and class these two gentlemen had. They were more than willing to help us get around and proudly share the history, restaurants and shops of the area whenever we asked. If I lived there, I would surely call these two guys my friends. I would certainly stay here again and may I add… my favorite shower of all time. Special thanks to Mustafa!  -Scott Stanford

Hard to say...this Riad allows you to meet western standard while still quite authentic and real. The building and its decorations are amazing! Some structural issues - such as some humidity or the hard compromise between getting some natural ventilation or light in the ground floor room, while preserving privacy - could have been handled better. However, since you want to spend most of your time hanging around or in its terrific patio with the outstanding personnel, at the end of the day it didn't really matter.

Beautiful riad, clean, quiet, helpful staff.

Bed was very narrow.

Amazing staff, incredibly helpful and polite and went above and beyond to help us. Fabulous breakfast and room terrace to relax in. You could easily walk to all the main attractions within 20-25 minutes.

Liked: - If you want a short stay for shopping this location is perfect, right beside the souks. - Comfortable bed - nice rooftop Disliked: -noise in courtyard at night and in the morning would disrupt your sleep -smoking and strong smell of incense (personal preference) -excursion prices doubled if you book through Riad - be cautious
