Riad Houdou is an excellent Riad to stay in if you want to experience the Medina first hand. The staff is excellent and the food is great. They are in walking distance to many of what you are looking to visit within the Medina (shopping, restaurants, etc...). The only knock is that everything is cash based, which they let you know up hand, but just make sure you plan accordingly. Even with this, I would still recommend staying here. Enjoy Marrakech (the Red City).

Absolutely loved my stay at Riad Hodou! Abdel and Abdella were amazing hosts! From the first day we arrived we were taken care of! We were provided with information about the vicinity, tips on how to get by and what to look out for. Breakfast was great. The Riad is beautifully decorated and it is not difficult to locate! Staying there really helped me enjoy my holiday in Marrakesh!

We started our Morocco journey with this Riad. The thing about this particular property was that these guys made a special effort to introduce us to give us bite-sized introductions to Do's Dont of Morocco without any special prompting. Their welcome was special, making us comfortable by giving a tour of Riad was a great touch. They all were special people trying to make us feel special.

Riad close to everything and wonderful staff.

Our stay was wonderful ! The Riad is beautiful, service was excellent, staff are friendly and response quickly to our needs,very helpful with our questions. The room is very comfortable and good size and very clean. Special thank you to the manager Abdel , who went above and beyond to assist us, thank you for the breakfast care package, it came in handy! And to Hassan who gave us a tour after the easy and quick check in and the welcome tea and sweets. Really, everything was very nice and welcoming. The breakfast was delicious too...fresh made jams, yogurt, bread, tea and coffee. The whole staff are attentive and friendly. I highly recommend this Riad. I will stay here again. Also they are walking distance to the shops, restaurants and places of special interest. Thank you!

The Riad itself is amazing, wonderful architecure and decor. The staff were very helpful and accomodating. Can't find anything negative to say. If you find the Medina overwhelming this Hotel is well positioned as although it isn't far from the busy streets, you aren't directly on them so you won't be stepping directly out into the madness and there aren't any noise concerns.

Exceptionally friendly and helpful owners and staff without being intrusive. Really useful advice on arrival about customs, where to go, how to be safe. Marrakesh is quite a culture shock for first timers until you get used to it but the teams help was great. Wish we had had in out first trip a few years ago Although the Riad Houdou isnt a restaurant, we would recommend eating there at least once. You need to book it before 11 though. Thoroughly recommend

Wow! What an amazing property and introduction to Morocco and Marrakech. I arranged for the airport transfer through the riad, and that was super convenient and affordable. The driver was waiting for us just outside the airport and dropped us off, and we were met by a guide who carried our luggage in a cart through the medina to the riad. The riad itself was beautiful. The main courtyard full of roses. We arranged for dinner to be provided the night we arrived. It may have been the best meal I have ever eaten. Incredible greeting mint tea and pastries, when we arrived, and then the dinner, a fantastic starter, wonderfully delicious tagine, and an amazing dessert. We had early departures and they arranged for a breakfast to go for us one day and an early breakfast the other. The location was perfect for us. The rooftop terrace was a beautiful setting for breakfast or an evening glass of wine with olives. The service was amazing.

My family had a lovely stay at Riad Houdou. The service was excellent, Abdel the manager was particularly helpful and had a wealth of tips for our family's trip in Marrakesh. The property is located 10-15min walk from the main square and it is an oasis of calm, with all the usual amenities (including free filtered water, kettle in the room). Would definitely stay again.
