Didn't stay here long, but it was perfect for what I needed (a pit stop before an early flight). Although I was leaving before breakfast, they kindly left me some food to take away. Room was cozy and clean.

Speechless! This place is incredibly resourceful, beautiful, and delicious, a true treasure for all the senses! An authentic experience in a perfect location, with the kindness and attentiveness of the staff making it all the more special.

The room is a little bit small

We spend just one night in Riad Cherif but our experience was very good. All the staff and off course cherif was very friendly and also very helpful. The riad is colourful and full of a lot of stuff very curious. Cherif made for us the best Moroccan thé.

Riad Cherif is perfectly located, right on the edge of the medina and close to both the new and old town. The property is beautiful, the rooms are comfortable (and air conditioned) and the hosts were amazing! The most welcoming hosts I’ve ever stayed with and the Mint Tea is, without doubt, the best in Morocco. This is the place to stay if you’re visiting Marrakesh.

It’s nice and clean and the Owner is nice and very helpful.

The downstairs room was rather dark, as the lighting was low and as it looked on to the patio where everyone passed by and breakfasted, so we couldn't really open the windows that much without an invasion of privacy. The room was small although very tastefully decorated and felt very cosy.

The riad has a very homely feel to it, beautifully furnished and very well kept. Cherif, his wife Hind and Fatima treated us with the utmost hospitality and made sure our stay was optimum. We really enjoyed staying there

Lovely little traditional Moroccan riad

Stayed in July 2025

There is nothing that we didn't like but as a word of caution, this ryad may not be every tourist's choice (no state of the arts "modernity"). It is located in a popular neighborhood on the north part of the Medina, by the large daily fruits and vegetables market. Very few tourists in this area but as two elder ladies, we always felt safe and welcome even at night. I am slightly handicapped walking with a cane and had to be careful walking up an old staircase. Our twin bed room was narrow and our bathroom was old style but we found the ambiance that we were looking for.

Great hospitality, attentive, caring but never obtrusive. Good breakfast (included) with tea and coffee, omelette, fresh orange juice, two kinds of bread, honey and jam, served on the pleasant roof by our room. Tea, coffee and soup offered for free during the day. Possibility to get of an affordable home made meal (Tajine or Couscous). Cherif, the owner, assisted us before arrival, at late arrival, during our stay and for our wee hour departure. His wife Linda was very efficient at helping us with touristic information and sweet Fatima, the soul of the house, was present 24h a day, diligent and always equal humor. The ryad, located against the wall of the Medina is an old former family home beautifully decorated by Cherif. It is at walking distance of Jardin Majorelle and close to the souks. This ryad is great for people (any age) who enjoy to travel to discover other cultures and exchange with people.

Fantastic rooftop terrace which stays cool in the heat. You are serenaded by birds at breakfast. Fatima is a treasure.

Nothing.

I arrived late and tired and hungry and Cherif arranged for Fatima to have a meal ready for me. She was so lovely and welcoming and kind and her tagine was delicious. Cherif kept in touch with me ensuring all was OK and my only regret was that it I couldn't extend as it was full ....not surprised as its a real gem.

I think the place is great just as it is, within the house which shares a wall with the ancient Marrakesh rampart.

Good location in the Medina, but also close to the modern part of Marrakesh. Exceptional host and staff made my stay feel like home. Magic ambience especially in the evening. Breakfast and other meals felt authentic , tasty and prepared lovingly. Great refuge from the busy streets.

The owners were kind and welcoming, the breakfast tasty and the room very comfortable. We were both so happy with our stay and plan on returning in the fall! Cannot recommend more!

The bids in the cage are a bit disturbing even if they don’t do noise during the night. I feel like too many birds were in this small cage

They are really nice they let us leave our bags for a few days after a stay. Thank you again. Good location. Good rooftop. Breakfast is okay.

It was a longer walk to the main plaza than other Riad's, but this was not a deal breaker. We could still walk everywhere.

The hosts were so wecoming. Breakfast was delicious and the room was comfortable. We arrived late on check in day because were were travelling and were greeted with tea, cookies and a warm bowl of delicious soup. Our host helped arrange airport transportation for us at the end of the trip. I highly recommend this place.

Our stay at Sherif’s riad in Marrakech was truly special. From the moment we arrived, Sherif welcomed us with open arms and treated us like family. No favour was ever too much for him — he went out of his way to help with anything we needed. My friend and I flew in with our bicycles, and Sherif immediately made a plan to safely store our bike boxes, which took a huge weight off our shoulders. His willingness to help, always with a smile and a solution, made everything feel easy and stress-free. The food that Fatima cooked for us was absolutely incredible — full of flavour, warmth, and love. Every meal felt like it came straight from the heart. Beyond the beautiful space, it was the genuine care and kindness from Sherif and Fatima that made our experience unforgettable. We are so grateful for everything they did for us. We arrived as guests, but left feeling like part of the family. Thank you, Sherif! we can’t wait to come back!

Very comfortable and homely. The owners and staff were kind and friendly, including to our 6 year old. Loved the decor and there was a cute and quirky roof terrace. Good location and good value for money. We had a tagine at the Riad which was very delicious.

The riad is charming with nice ambiance. The location is great becouse it is easy to start exploring Medina from there. The host orginezed a transport for us from airport.
