Six stars! - Such a beautiful spot and a great location. Minutes from the souks. We had breakfast at the property every morning and it was amazing. I have a gluten allergy and... read more they were able to accommodate with no problem. Mohammed went above and beyond for us - helped with activities, bookings, transportation, anything you can imagine! Highly recommend!!

  AMAZING! The best part of the Medina! - We were a bit hesitant before booking 5D4N in a riad we've never been to but we can tell you it was the best choice ever and this riad did... read more not disappoint one bit! First, we were greeted by Muhammad the owner where we dropped off and had a quick walk to the riad. When you walk in, you can already smell a mix of herb and citrus and this is the same throughout the riad. It's like walking into a whole new different place compared to the somewhat plain streets in the medina.

We loved the cleanliness of the hotel and although the room was small as you would expect from all riads, it was very comfortable with strong AC and again it smelled great. Most importantly, the bed was SO comfortable and I can say this bed is equivalent to most of the 5-star hotel beds. The shower amenities were great too and they even have a vase of fresh roses in the room. Yes, the room can be dark but you don't really spend the day in the room anyway, since you will be busy exploring the medina or outside at the pool area and the rest of the raid, which is super Instagrammable with the design and all.

On food - Muhammad was there every day and shared great local food recommendations (not the touristy ones) and was super helpful with whatever we needed (e.g. water, early breakfast etc.). Breakfast was one of the bests we had in Morocco with great variety - and we looked forward to it every morning! In addition, we also find the staff there very welcoming.

I will definitely recommend Riad Botanica who is going to Marrakech for the first time as I can reassure you they won't be disappointed. Thanks for the great service and stay Muhammad and we hope to come back again!

  My second visit in as many months…and already planning on returning! - I have just returned from my second trip to Riad Botanica in as many months, and had a simply wonderful time.

I will never get over just how beautiful... read more the Riad is. And how good it smells! The Riad is absolute luxury throughout, from the swimming pool, the rooftop, all the communal areas to the 5* bedrooms.

Speaking of the bedrooms, they are wonderfully appointed - with the most comfortable beds and softest sheets I have ever experienced in a hotel. The bathrooms are lovely, with powerful showers with seemingly endless hot water. And the toiletries are not your run-of-the-mill hotel toiletries; they are luxury through and through.

The breakfasts are delicious and generous, with the freshly pressed orange juice always being a highlight. You will leave breakfast well-fuelled for the day ahead!

The neighbourhood is super safe and full of friendly locals. A ten minute walk will take you to the heart of the Médina, with restaurants and shops galore.

Special thanks to Mo and Angela for all the care and support, from arranging a car service to collect us from the airport, always spot-on restaurant recommendations, and for making my husband’s birthday extra special.

We will see you again soon, Riad Botanica!
