In one sentence… Palais Riad Berbère exceeded all of our expectations of service, comfort, hospitality and value for money. We visited in the first week of October 2024, and enjoyed temperatures around 35 deg C. This country riad is located on the outskirts of Marrakesh, with the city being reached easily by taxi quickly arranged by Patrick or his staff. Return taxis are easily found in the city taxi ranks, although we found a driver and kept his mobile number to hand. Trips into the local desert etc. were easily arranged by the riad too. Our stay was enhanced by the attention and friendliness of Patrick and his staff. Customer service here is excellent. We had difficulties with cash withdrawals from ATMs in the city, but Patrick simply provided cash and put it onto our account. This was very useful; however, I would imagine that the hotel does not carry cash at all times. My advice is take a good backup bundle of your own currency as there are reasonable and fair exchanges in the city. We’re British so had some GBP with us, not enough though! Lesson learned/shared? Our room was clean and spacious but please don’t expect ‘Four Seasons’ splendour. Instead settle into the essence of comfortable rural Moroccan living. The paintwork may be a little tired and the bathroom properly fitted and fundamental but, the bed was very comfortable and everything worked as it should. The hotel was clean throughout, the large swimming pool and garden well managed and equipped. The open kitchen facing onto the garden provided good food at fair prices, including an excellent breakfast (we were B&B guests), all provided by a cheerful and friendly staff. We also enjoyed using our French language skills, which we found most useful too. Patrick speaks excellent English, as do his front of house staff. Oumaima also deserves a mention, being friendly, polite and most helpful at all times. Should you go to Palais Riad Berbère to enjoy the best of Marrakesh and this area of Morocco? Yes! Expect a warm welcome, comfort and great service for a fair price. I hope that we return someday.

I went with my daughter and we loved this riad. The staff were attentive, the owner Patrick was lovely and extremely helpful. Our room was large very clean quiet and comfortable. There were two pools which we enjoyed and the breakfasts were superb. There was also table tennis, volley ball and badminton if you enjoy activities. We ate at the restaurant for lunch and dinner. Both were simple but excellent . We loved our stay and will return.

“Wonderful ”

We were very lucky to get a deal and we staid in this wonderful setting. It is far from the center and you need a car to get to the place but it iw worthy. You really feel on vacation. Breakfast is very rich and rooms very wide and the whole setting of here hotel very nice and relaxing

“Away from the hustle and bustle”

An ideal location 15 minutes from the airport and 15 minutes from Marrakesh town, calm, convivial and comfortable. Great family run hotel, superb breakfast with an ideal setting around both an indoor and outdoor pool. The local red wine was also excellent
