Riad Kenzo

amazing place! mohammed was such a lovely, friendly and helpful host who was there to help whenever and really put us at ease. we were three girls travelling and felt very well looked after. the riad was beautiful and in a perfect location right in the medina, but also super quiet as soon as you were off the busy street. they arranged an airport transfer for us both ways which was €20 each way. breakfast was delicious too, and the aircon was a life-saver.
Really recommend this place and thank you mohammed!

Riad is on the side streets in the medina, it's very quiet, slow and peaceful, that all help relaxing after all day of hustling and bustling in this very busy, noisy and colourful city. Well recomended!

When choosing a place to stay in Marrakesh's old city, my priority was to find a quiet, peaceful spot which isn’t too far from the main square, Jemaa el-Fnaa. Riad Kenzo met this requirement perfectly.

The rooms are spotlessly clean and the breakfast is plentiful.

I’ll definitely be coming back here if I ever have the chance to visit Marrakesh again.

Location was ideal. Tucked away in a side street right in the middle of the souks. Beautiful setting and so peaceful amongst all the madness of the medina.

Breakfast,staff,location

The staff

Ayoub and the staff were extremely welcoming and helpful. Anything he could do to help he absolutely will do it.

Room was clean and tidy, bed was comfortable and bathroom was spotless.

Breakfast was good and tasty.

Location was perfect for us with great access to the many souks and 10 minute walk from the main square.

The terrace was also wonderful, completely tranquil despite the chaos of the streets below with some amazing views of the Atlas Mountains.

Thank you to Ayoub and the rest of the staff for a fantastic stay.

This Riad feels like you are a guest in someone’s home, it feels very authentic, so you get a real Moroccan experience. The staff working day and night shifts are amazing and have been very helpful explaining things. Located in the Medina, walking distance to shops, money exchange, taxis. You can walk everywhere from the riad. Approx 15 min walk to Jemaa el Fna. Breakfast delicious and fresh. We enjoyed the little terrace on the too of the riad.

We stayed for 3 nights at the riad, which gave us easy access to the souk and attractions in the medina.

Fatima and Ayoub were very nice hosts and gave us lots of tips for our time in Marrakech. We really liked the way they made the mint tea, so I would give it a try if you visit. There is good thought put into how the rooms are decorated and the riad has a homely and traditional feel.

Very cozy Riad located in the medina, north from Jamaa el Fna square.
The location is simply perfect: 10 mins walking distance from Jamaa el Fna, 5 mins from a place where you can take a taxi, restaurants, shops, souk market. Other interesting places in the area are Madrasa, Musee de la Photographie.
Rooms are essentials and comfy, always clean. Nice patio with a very small swimming pool (impossible to be used probably until summer) where they serve a huge breakfast in the morning, absolutely a plus of this place: omelette, cake, moroccan pancake, butter, jam, mint tea, coffee, orange juice..
An other plus of this riad is the terrace, where you can enjoy a drink, waiting for the sunset and the muezzin calling for pray.
Big up to the staff, especially Fatima that is very kind in every single way.
Only cons is lack of wi-fi.

Very welcoming, especially Oussama and Fati who were friendly and helpful. Quiet even though it is in the Souks. Lovely roof terrace. Ate one evening meal which was delicious. Breakfast was always fresh and delicious. Beware, sound carries so you can hear what is going on in others rooms! We got lost the first night as the alley way leading to the Riad is hard to miss. Take some photos of the stalls/cafe nearby to use on your return.

We loved it! Beautiful Riad in the heart of Marrakech with kind, friendly, helpful and polite staff. We enjoyed our stay from beginning till the end. Lovely clean room with comfortable beds, beautiful terrace, stunning view, traditional local dinner made by Shaqira the best food we tried in Marrakech, hammam, massage..everything was just perfect! We would like to thank Fati and the rest of the staff who made our stay in Marrakech so great!

Friendly staff and great service, very basic room but clean. Breakfast was adequate. Our room located in the ground floor next to the breakfast area and when people walked by or sat in the breakfast area, maybe they were able to hear us (and see us if window open). We ordered airport transfer and it worked well. There are a few restaurants nearby. I absolutely recommend riad accommodation when in Morocco and this riad worked well. Medina area itself can be a bit challenging place and it is easy to get lost without offline google map.

I stayed here with my husband for for nights.
The central location is ideal for The souk and the hustle and bustle of Marrakesh, yet inside the Riad is quiet and peaceful.
The staff are brilliantly friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble anytime of day.
They will always recommend somewhere to visit. They also arranged airport transfers €20. This was a very welcome extra for us.
We chose to eat here on our 1st night and the food is simple and tasty as was the included breakfast.
In summary we found Riad Kenzo to be simple, friendly, uncomplicated, comfortable and beautiful.
We would recommend to anyone looking for a similar experience.

5 stars honestly isn’t enough for this place.
The most amazing riad we stayed in in all of Morocco and Abdul was a huge part of that. He arranged our entire trip for us to utilize our time better and we wouldn’t have gotten to see the Sahara is it wasn’t for him.
He made us feel right at home from the second we walked in. Always prepared us breakfast no matter what time we woke up and always there to guide us and chat to us at night around the fire. The rest of the staff were also wonderful and extremely welcoming and good to chat to. Really good fun!
Location wise it was brilliant! Close to the square (10 min walk) but quiet at night.
Rooms were also beautiful and SOO comfy. We’re going to return to Marrakesh again on our last night to stay here!

An almost perfect retreat from the crazy city. Stayed with two of my friends, the staff were really friendly and the breakfast and tea was spot on.
The riad is based in a great location as well, despite being in the Medina and among the market streets, it’s a really relaxed part of the city and going into the riad was like entering your own sanctuary from the city.
Would highly recommend!

We stayed in this Riad for all together 5 nights. We felt very welcome because of the very friendly staff and the beautiful Riad.

The Breakfast and the Dinner (Couscous) cooked by the very friendly and talented kitchen staff was also amazing.

The Hammam/Massages offered by the Riad are also very well and relaxing.

I would recommend the Riad Kenzo again anytime!

:-)

Very cosy, clean and friendly hotel in the heart of the Medina. Nice looking rooms and a great rooftop-terasse. The staff is really friendly and makes everything to feel you well during your stay. Good value for a quiet and happy stay at Marrakech.

Lovely place and the most fantastic staff!
So friendly and helpful.
The rooms were beautiful and clean. I would recommend to have the breakfast at the riad. It's a small place so it is nice meeting the other people at the riad ist the breakfast.
Very friendly and welcoming atmosphere

Beautifully decorated riad which is about 10 minutes away from the main square. It's easy enough to find and is a peaceful place to be after being in the hustle and bustle of Marrakech all day.

We stayed here for four nights. The staff were lovely and really helpful booking taxis for us. Our room was spotless and really comfy. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to anyone who wants a quiet, comfy place to stay in Marrakech.

Me and my mum stayed here in January 2017 for 4 nights. The staff were amazing they really helped us and gave us loads of information on how to get around and they also arranged for transfers to and from the airport.
The breakfast was really good considering it was only 5 euros. We had homemade yogurt, two different kinds of pancakes, chocolate cake, tea, orange juice, bread etc.
The riad itself is very central and right in the market, when we first arrived we were not sure where we were going as it was down a dark alley, but once you go through the doors you get the riad/Moroccan vibe.
The riad was very traditional and had a lovely small pool/breakfast area in the middle.
Our room was a simple double one on the ground floor next to the kitchen. The bed was very comfortable. Although outside our bathroom was the breakfast area and as the window had no glass and was wooden with small holes, I am pretty sure they could here us use the bathroom in the mornings and also you could see outside through the small holes.
I would recommend when booking asking for a higher level room.
Overall for the price we payed it was great

Together with my mom and sister we stayed here for 3 nights and we had the best time.

The rooms are very clean and nicely decorated.
Breakfast is really good and a lot.

And of course our friend Yasin made the trip complete he was very helpful and really made us feel like home!!

Only thing is that the sign of the riad is not easy to find. It’s only ridden down on the wall , maybe they should make a bigger sign.

We had the best time .

So after an iffy start to our Moroccan adventure we managed to grab one night here, our host Yussain was brilliant and very accommodating, he was eager to assist in whatever we needed. We booked the on site Hammam and Massge which was amazing as we got to experience the Hammam together, the lady that does it works tirelessly here, I saw her first thing cleaning rooms then she was in the kitchen and finally working herself so hard to please us in the Hammam.
My only negative was the cost of breakfast at 100 Dirham for 1 person I felt was a little excessive for a few pancakes, croissants and bananas

Me and my wife recently stayed at theriad for 5 nights and we had some wonderful time. The riad is a 300 years old Moroccan-style house which gives you a real taste of what life in Morocco is like. It is located in the medina within a short walk from the major attraction sites. The staff are very friendly and helpful. If you are planning to spend sometime in Marrakech there is not better place to stay. However, do some research about what a riad looks like to ensure this is the time of experience you are looking for. It can be very different from western standards however it has all the comforts you may want. It s the right place to experience some true Moroccan life.

We stayed for a week in September 2016 and we were really pleased with Riad Kenzo. The staff were lovely and helpful and they were always smiling! This is quite an authentic Moroccan riad and the decor was lovely. Breakfast was included every morning and it was very good value.

We visited Riad Kenzo in October 2016 - the place was like a step back in time! Wonderful atmosphere, very clean, yet had an old time charm to it... Breakfast was included and the mint tea was to die for!!! But above all, the staff was SO wonderful! They were extremely helpful at any time of day/night, for any request, and went out of their way to help us with anything we needed! This didn't feel like a hotel, but more like an extension of someone's home!

What a little gem this place is, when we read the reviews and saw the cost beforehand it seemed too good to be true. It's not!

The staff are great, the building fantastic character, charming rooms, lovely roof terrace.

We recommend taking them up on the option of collection from the airport as it's not easy to find at first (nowhere is until you find your bearings in the medina!). Also the 3 course menu is better than food from restaurants in the area and was a great decision that we made to eat there on our first night.

It's 10 minutes walk at tops to the main square and even less into the heart of the souks.

They can arrange tours too which seems to be better than booking them elsewhere as we did this and others in the riad did it separately and didn't get the same level of service on their trips.

We had a great 4 nights here, would 100% recommend staying here over a fancy resort hotel.
