Riad O | House in Bab Doukkala

beautiful modern Riad with Morrocan details/touch, very attentive staff

Riad O – An Unforgettable Experience! From the moment we arrived at Riad O, we felt warmly welcomed and right at home. As a picky clean-freak, I have to say his place was spotless and exceeded my highest standards! Manu greeted us with genuine hospitality, but a special shoutout to Abdoulah, who gave us amazing dinner recommendations. He’s not only professional and knowledgeable but also one of the kindest, most down-to-earth people you could meet. He truly made our stay extra special. The entire staff at Riad O is top-notch (all of them!) friendly, attentive, and caring. The location is perfect, with everything within easy walking distance. We loved the delicious breakfasts and dinner served at the riad. Plus, I indulged in a hammam and massage onsite that was pure bliss. Thank you! Thank you! I’d recommend Riad O to anyone visiting Marrakech especially if cleanliness and great service matter to you!

Manu and the all staff were friendly knowledgeable and always helpful. Wpuld also recommend the Riad O transfer, may be a bit more expensive than a taxi, but worth it for the convenience. Rooms and breakfast was fantastic. No tv in room, but was nice not hacing one. Would deffo recommend

This is a terrific place to stay. The rooms are comfortable and clean, the staff is very friendly and helpful, and the breakfast on the upstairs patio was excellent with different options each morning. The location is good with easy access to markets and restaurants in each direction.

Great stay at the Riad O, exceptional service from all staff we encountered and a nice fresh breakfast every day. All major sites are walkable or a short taxi ride away.

Our stay at this Riad was absolutely marvelous, one of the highlights of our trip to Marrakech! This boutique hotel was stunning, with a beautiful and cozy atmosphere that made our experience truly special. The service was exceptional, everyone we interacted with, from the owner to the staff and the masseuse, was incredibly helpful and welcoming. Our room was not only cozy and beautifully designed but also filled with the amazing scent of orange blossom, which made the experience even more memorable. The breakfast was delicious, a perfect way to start the day. I would love to visit again, an unforgettable experience!

I stayed at the lovely Riad O for only one night, but I cannot wait to return. It happened to be New Year's Eve, and the end of a long journey through Morocco staying at everything from 5 star hotels to centuries old Riads along the way. With little expectation other than an excellent experience based on the numerous exceptional reviews for this wonderful family owned and operated Riad, I can honestly say that my stay here was beyond superb in every way. The hospitality was genuinely gracious, with everyone I encountered endeavoring to make our stay truly wonderful. The Riad is elegantly appointed, reflecting a perfect marriage of Moroccan design and heritage with elevated European influence. All of this would have been enough to make our stay memorable, but the New Year's Eve dinner, accompanied by brilliant local musicians and dancing, was truly a gift to every traveler fortunate enough to partake. The gifted chef, Zakia, who is part of the family (thankfully guaranteeing future gastronomic delights!) was trained by the Michelin-annointed genii of Noma, and mark my words, she will one day have a star of her own! Do not miss the gem, tucked away in the maze of the Medina.

Extraordinary and sophisticated place close to the Bab Doukala mosque and neighborhood. We were driving and it was very easy to leave the car in a public parking a short 10 minutes walk from the property. The owner and staff was very attentive and preoccupied for the details; the in-house dining was superb. Fully recommended

We loved our stay at this Riad! It's in a great location, just a couple of minutes walk from getting into the heart of the souks, and with nearby restaurants and shops. Although close to a busy street, when you're in the Riad, you cannot hear a thing outside...it's super peaceful - a great place to relax and unwind after a busy day walking around the Medina! Breakfast was also one of our highlights. Set on the rooftop, you get a fresh juice, plate of fruit, pastries, eggs and some sort of treat each day - it's so fresh and super delicious! All the staff are warm and welcoming and are always on hand to help. Our only problem was right at the beginning trying to find the Riad - it doesn't show up on Google maps and the hotels.com map was very confusing. The taxis can't take you to the door so they drop you off on the outskirts and you walk through with your case. We ended up getting a bit lost so had to ask a local for help - worth asking for the exact pin / coordinates prior to the stay so you don't get lost trying to find it! 😅

Overall this was a lovely spot, impeccably clean, amazing staff, delicious food. There were some challenges for us that someone who is used to the Medina and Riads wouldn’t notice like cabs and excursion vans can only get as close as a five minute walk to this Riad so large luggage is a challenge. The Riad is very quiet with no sound protection and in turn I felt we had very little privacy in our room. It does feel more like a bed-and-breakfast than a hotel. I was disappointed that the outdoor pool was closed because it was listed in the ad and disappointed that we were not able to buy snacks at any time (and that when we ordered food the delivery driver couldn’t find the Riad).
