Having never been anywhere like Marrakesh before we had the most wonderful experience here for a long weekend, we emerged into the hustle and bustle that is Marrakesh and when we had had enough we retreated back into the Riyad into calm and tranquility. The staff could not have been more helpful and if we needed a guide or to... more

El Cadi is an expensive disappointment. Though greatly located within minutes from Jemaa el Fna, it needs renovating in various areas. Why they put up cheapo IKEA lamps instead of the traditional moroccan style lamps that you can get just around the corner in the souk for decent money ... Allah may know. It just ruins the atmosphere. So does... more

A very stylish riad with helpful and friendly people! We loved that we felt that if we were almost alone here. You barely see other guests and feel like you are in your own paradise :-) The roof terrace is huge and offers a great view to the snowcapped mountains! Strongly recommend it for a "1001 night" experience more

Very tastfully decorated, perfect location and very good service. more

My husband and me, we spent in March 2009 4 nights in the El Cadi. We are a german couple around 50. The change is amazing from the loud medina to the quiet Riyad El Cadi. It makes you calm staying there. Every morning we had breakfast on the roof, fresh orange juice, yoghurt, croissants, marocain bread and of course... more

When we arrived it was like Dr Who's tardis. You get the impression that it is small but in fact once inside it spread over five buildings. The location was absolutelly perfect, literally seconds away from the Plaza Jamma El Fna (Souks) which is full of stalls , entertainers and Bazaars selling leather right through to carpets. At night several... more

We stayed with our two young children (6 and 8 years old) and had a fantastic stay. Great food, great location, great service! This Riyad is minutes from Djemaa El Fna and the bazaars, but quiet and tranquil. The hotel staff is amazing organized our subsequent travels throughout Morocco. The Riyad is almost a museum, with antiques decorating the entire... more

An incredibly elegant, charming riad just steps from the central square in Marrakech. The owner and staff were gracious and helpful and the food was excellent. The breakfasts on the roof are very special, with incredible views of the Atlas Mountains in the distance. The riad is actually several buildings put together, creating a delightful sense of a grand palace... more

Our experience started with efficient transfer from Airport to Riad, followed by fresh orange juice on the terrace - a quiet, sunny haven. Room was amazing. The only difficulty was deciding whether to tear oneself away from the Riad to explore the city beyond. Chilly December evenings were enjoyed by a big log fire with mint tea or wine. The... more
