“An authentic and relaxing riad experience.”

My son and I had a fantastic stay at Ryad El Borj. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed with mint tea and biscuits – exactly what we needed after our flight. The riad itself is incredibly peaceful, with beautiful traditional décor that really adds to the experience. The staff were super friendly and helpful throughout our stay – Daniel the owner and Ali were brilliant, helping to organise airport transfers and a great day trip to the Atlas Mountains. The location in the Medina is perfect – atmospheric but still convenient for getting to the main cultural sites. Our room was spacious, comfortable, and very quiet. Breakfast was fantastic each morning, with lovely views, and always set us up well for a full day of exploring. A special touch was the birthday surprise – they wished me a happy birthday and gifted me some delicious Moroccan pastries, which was a lovely gesture. My son also loved the resident cat and tortoises, which added to the charm. The pool was a real highlight – a peaceful little oasis tucked away from the hustle and bustle, perfect after a hot day out. We would highly recommend Ryaad El Borj to anyone looking for an authentic and relaxing riad experience.

“Lovely stay in peaceful Riad”

A really nice place to stay to explore the madina. Ali was on hand with recommendations and suggestions. It was very clean and the breakfast was great. I would recommend the riat to my friends.

“A stunning setting, a warm welcome, a comfortable room and a wonderful Moroccan ambience. This beautiful Ryad is like a”

Our wonderful host Ali met us in the beautiful courtyard with a big welcoming smile and some mint tea. As we sat in the dappled shade under the fragrant orange trees, he spent time telling us about the best sights & restaurants in Marrakech, the Ryad’s resident tortoise eyeing us from a sunny spot in the corner! He then gave us a great map of the town to take as a guide. Our room was at the top of the Ryad and it was immaculate, with a private bathroom and a beautifully tiled shower (& lovely hot water!) plus a large private plant-filled terrace complete with table & sunbeds, where we watched some stupendous sunsets! As the temperature rose on our last night, we were able to make use of the very welcome air conditioner too! A delicious breakfast of fruit salad, fresh squeezed orange juice, yogurt, crepes, cheese, olives, fresh bread with apricot jam, & steaming hot coffee was served on a lower terrace where tables were set in a raised pavilion, surrounded by potted olive trees, tumbling bougainvillea and statuesque cacti. Everything was enchanting and perfect. Only a stone’s throw from the buzz of the Jma El Fnaa Square, El Borj is nevertheless an oasis of cool quiet peace after the busy days exploring the fascinating - and labyrinthine! - Medina. Very highly recommended. We’d stay again in an instant!

“Beautiful stay with amazing staff”

The Ryad is in an amazing location within walking distance of everything you would want to visit and the main square. Staff are so kind and helpful and go out of their way to make your stay special. We ate an evening meal at the Ryad and I would say it’s the best meal we had. Such great value too. Beautiful place to stay and our room had the terrace as was the tower room. The staff helped me when I wasn’t feeling too great too.

“Beautiful place to stay”

A beautiful Riad with a lovely terrace. Very central location. Excellent breakfast. The staff were very friendly, helpful and welcoming.

Everything! The most perfect stay we could have! Daniel, Ali and all the staff were amazing. The room was gorgeous! The breakfast delicious.. Every little detail was beautiful! Location was central. Highly recommend

“Great riad. Clean and special”

Excellent and clean. Great location.

“Our introduction to the riad and the area was superb. The French gentleman explained a lot about the riad and the surrou”

How close it was to the main Square

“Centrally located and beautiful riad”

Beautiful riad that is very centrally located in the medina. The staff are very accommodating. We had an amazing room that was very spacious. Breakfast was also great and on a beautiful terrace. We wish we could have stayed for longer! Also loved the resident riad cat!

“Beautiful oasis of calm in busy Marrakech.”

A beautiful oasis in the heart of Marrakech. All the staff were wonderful and friendly. We had two rooms for our family including the Tower room with its fantastic patio space. We loved retreating back to the comfort of the riad at the end of a busy day exploring. Breakfasts were lovely. Ali arranged a few day trips for us while we were there, which we had time to do as we stayed a week - they were fantastic. I would wholly recommend Daniel's riad for anyone wanting to experience authentic surroundings.

“Friendly staff and great location”

Great location in the heart of the city, very friendly staff und good breakfast.

“Great stay”

Very welcoming. Beautiful place and amazing terrace. In the heart of the medina but very quiet. Helped organise a taxi from the airport. Returning at the end of our trip too.

“Stunning stay in Ryad el Borj”

Ryad el Borj was the ideal start to our first trip to Morocco. From the bustle of the Medina to the quiet and peace of the Ryad was like another world. Daniel and Ali couldn't do enough for us, Daniel taking the time to make recommendations for Marrakech when we arrived and Ali, always smiling, arranging onward transfers for us with no fuss. The Douriya Suite exceeded our expectations, so much so I can't put it into words - it's beautiful! Breakfast on the roof terrace with views of the Atlas Mountains was another unforgettable experience.

“Marrakesh Stay”

The staff were so friendly and the room was very clean and comfortable. Breakfast every morning was also a big highlight.

Beautiful, small Riad with cute little Hammam and pretty roof terrace. Very good value for money and excellent location. Staff were friendly and helpful, would definitely recommend.

“5 stars experience”

It was a perfect stay. The riad is like a museum. Everything is clean. The staff was helpful and friendly. The owner is so nice, gave us great advice about the city. We also booked our trips and airport transfer from the riad. All 5 stars experience. The guide to Ourika gave us so much information. The trip to Agafay was a nice experience. The riad is 3 minutes from the main square. It is safe to reach the riad even at night. Many good restaurants near. Great location to explore the city. Wish we stayed more. Will stay here if we ever go back.

“10 out of 10”

The riad is a gem in the center of the medina. Very carefully renovated to maintain the traditional vibe. The rooms are carefully furnished with a lot of attention to details. The owner was super helpful with giving us recommendations and gave us a warm welcome to Marrakech. The orange trees in the court are worth the trip.

“We’ve stayed in many Riads but always return here now.”

Very Moroccan, not pretentious. Very friendly staff who make you feel welcome. Nothing is too much trouble. We’ve stayed here a few times now and highly recommend it.

“Fantastic place”

Great sense of aesthetic. Beauty in every corner. Very good breakfast. Super nice staff and owner. Best place we have been to during our Moroccan trip.

Everything was great ànd the staff so polite
