There's a saying to the effect that while the souk is pergatory, the riad is paradise. We stayed four days at Raid Maipa this past July. It's a short walk from the main square, down a cobble-stone street lined with small shops. The street vibrates with locals, tourists, bicyclists, moped riders and the occasional cart - all in constant motion.... More

We stayed in Riad Maipa 2 nights in March. It is a great Riad located 5 min walk from Jemaa el-Fnaa square. Within only 5 minutes you can dissapear from the crowd and find your peace in Riad Maipa. Everything was top class. The atmosfear in this Riad is wonderful. Eric the host gave us a good map of the... More

Stayed 4 nights at this wonderfully decorated riad. The Riad was very conveniently located - 4-5 min walk from the square but is very quiet once inside. Lovely mint tea was served before we were ushered to the room. Stayed in the Khahui room on the 2nd floor - Loved the room and the shower booth. Breakfast is simple (maybe... More

Great location, really quiet and great food!!! I recommend having dinner in the riad it is delicious!! Eric is a very welcoming host and do ask him for ideas as he really does know his city!!! Ps get the transfer to the riad from the airport as you will never find it on your own

My partner and I stayed at Riad Maipa for 3 nights in Feb 2011, and were delighted by what we found. The location is great - very close to the main square, and it was a real escape from the outside world. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, and the tips from the owner, Eric, on things to see,... More

Just back from a five-day stay and were delighted by Riad Maipa. The staff were wonderful and did everything to accommodate us (including nipping out for beer!). The initial culture-shock of the short walk down a very busy alley, keeping up with the man pulling a cart stuffed with out luggage, was in complete contrast with what we found on... More

Stayed in the very clean & spacious Aasli suite for 5 nights in February 2010. Were met at airport on arrival at night & taken to Riad. Last part of way was necessarily on foot, & we were astonished at the peace inside compared to the medina as soon as the door was closed. Brilliant mint tea on arrival. The... More

If you are planning to go to Marrakech, to stay in the medina and it is within your budget this is the riad to stay at! I had a bad time choosing the perfect riad before going to Marrakech as there are so many options. Our needs: (being the first 3 points 80% of the deal) Easy to find- check... More

We had a wonderful time at Riad Maipa. We were collected from the airport by taxi and welcomed by Eric with a delicious mint tea. Eric showed us around the riad and gave us lots of info regarding Marrakech. I would recommend this riad because it's clean and spacious and is in an excellent location. Eric and all the staff... More
