“perfect for all means”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 6, 2013

We are just back from a week in Morokko, where we spend 3 nuits in marrakech at the Riad Idra. From the first moment you enter the Riad, its wauw! You would never expect to find this gorgous "palace" after entering a wouden door in a narrow small street in the medina. And the wauw effect goes on thanks to the genuine friendlyness of the host Karine and Omar, the very professional waiter.
Our room was just fantastic decorated with all facilities you need (and more), nice wellcomming snack, fresch water, which is highly appreciated after a long travel.
The first night we decided to stay at the Riad for diner and this was the best choice in terms of freschness, taste and attention for culinairy details - well done to the kitchen team and the chef.
This excellent cuisine was confirmed during the new years eve diner: fantastic! Althoufg not foreseen initially to be organised, but thanks to a family, we were all able to experience another 1* Michelin quality meal.
The strength of this Riad is the sould it has: tastfully decorated by the owners and Karine, Omar's customer centricity, Karine who runs it with heart and soul and the whole teams engagement in customer delighting. Keep it going, folks!

“December visit”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 27, 2012

We had stayed 3 nights at Riad Idra; our room is spacious, nicely decorated. Karine is most helpful to assist with our transportation, sightseeing arrangement and dinner booking. Omar looked after our breakfast and everything. I love the freshly squeezed organge juice during breakfast. The area is safe because there is a police station at the entrance of the main road

“Had a great hamman experience here”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 17, 2012

We were staying at The Red House hotel and were recommended to Riad Idra for the hamman experience. We were not disappointed, it was very very good and the Riad, managed by Karine, made us very welcome with a tour and refreshments after the hamman. Not to be missed!

“Excellent place! Great location! Best service we ever!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 26, 2012 via mobile

Riad Idra is an awesome place for authentic Moroccan experience minus the hassel. I have been to 30 countries i can safely say that this was the best service ever.The riad is absolutely clean and very tastefully decorated. Location is safe and right in heart of old city. Service is above and beyond your expectations. Staff is extremely courteous and caring with excellent attention to detail. Hamam downstairs is amazing! Karin goes above and beyond to help you make most of your trip- from dinner reservations to arranging day or overnight trips to arranging transportation, local guide with excellent recommendations. She even offered to check with airline when we wanted to extend our stay.
We absolutely loved our stay at Riad Idra
and would recommend it to anyone without hesitation!

“Magical Stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 12, 2012

My husband and I searched and searched online for a riad in which to stay in Marrakech and when we came across Riad Idra online we knew we had found the perfect spot. Riad Idra is exactly as pictured online, which is something that can't be said for most hotels. The owners told me that they spent two years renovating it before opening it to the public and it shows. The decor is done in painstaking detail, from the handcarved plaster, handpainted armoirs, to the art on the walls. Each room's decor varies, which makes it feel more like a home (or palace, rather) than a generic hotel. We stayed in both the chambre Nour and were upgraded to the Aliya since the riad was empty towards the end of our stay. The rooms were spotless, had lovely bed linens and the bathrooms were beautiful. There is plenty of space in the armoirs to allow you to fully unpack your luggage. The outdoor spaces are beautiful as well. The ground room courtyard is stunning, as is the terrace and the indoor dining space that is used when it is too hot to dine outdoors. There is also a library and a Congo room. All are impeccably decorated with the same attention to detail found throughout the riad.

The staff is simply wonderful. Karine, the manager, offers the highest level of customer service. During our stay I had a package delivered from DHL and she went and picked it up for me--an activity I'm sure falls outside of her purview as manager. She knows Marrakech inside and out and gave us wonderful restaurant recommendations, arranged for a guide to visit Ali ben Youssef Medersa and the souks, and ensured that every activity we did was as stress free as possible. Karine arranged for us to visit several of the shops and furniture stores that they used to decorate the riad and arranged for us to use the riad's driver for the afternoon, which I highly recommend since it made our excursion pleasant and carefree. Omar was so kind and attentive to our every need. He served us breakfast every morning and dinner the two evenings that we ate at the riad. At one point we needed something from the pharmacy and he took my husband there to ensure that we got what we needed. He was always ready to help in whatever way he could--guiding us through the streets of Marrakech or helping us to negotiate the price of a taxi. The driver was also very kind and friendly. During our shopping trip, he went out and bought us bottled water to make our excursion more pleasant. The staff essentially works overtime for you to ensure that your stay is the best that it can be and this is a huge part of what makes Riad Idra so special.

The restaurant at the Riad is exceptional and I highly recommend it. The food is fresh, innovative and expertly prepared. The breakfast is delicious and plentiful. The spa at the Riad is excellent and you should not pass it up. I had both a massage and did a hammam and both were amazing.

In sum, I highly recommend staying here. My husband and I can't wait to go back and will stay nowhere else in Marrakech!
