This New Years we stayed with our 2 kids (8 and 10) at the Riad Massiba. The owner, Vivienne and her "team", Ahmed and Meena, made us feel very welcome and well looked after. Ahmed in particular was wonderfully courteous and attentive. Nothing was a problem - whether it was very early/late breakfasts, late check-out, packaging up our delicate souvenirs for the journey home. We had 2 superb dinners there - we highly recommend eating dinner there at least one evening. The location was excellent - in the heart of the Medina, just 5 mins walk from the Jamal El Fna square. The riad itself is cosy and beautifully furnished and decorated. It was a little sanctuary of calm and tranquility. One thing to bear in mind though is that there was no locks on the guestroom doors. That is the only reason we didn't give it an "excellent" rating. However it is only a small riad with 3 guestrooms and Vivienne let us use the safe in her office.

My husband and I along with our 18-year old daughter and friend spent five fabulous days at the Riad Massiba. The Riad is located in the heart of the Medina, a short walk from the famous Jamal El Fna square. Riad Massiba is small and charmingly cosy with beautiful furnishings. It is like an oasis of calm and quiet admist the hustle and bustle of the Medina. Vivienne, the owner, is most welcoming and very informative about what to do and see in Marrakech. The homemade breakfasts and dinners (when we chose to "eat in") were delicious. By the end of our stay, we felt a little like locals and were sad to leave. We highly recommend the Riad MASSIBA.

This place has it all for people who really want to live Marrakech. The 3 rooms riad gives this very nice warm contact and feeling which you will never have in those too big or international hotels. It fits perfect aswell for a couple as for a whole family.

The situation is simply perfect to get out of the city, or to walk into the medina. The staff is very helpfull and devoted, aswell as the owner. We got different tips and tricks about Marrakeck what s quit very helpfull here.

The riad is a traditional one, so restaurated and accommodated with respect for the Maroccon culture and values what i experience as a big plus! Stay certainly also overnight eating because the quality and finition of the typical Maroccon food is simply great! And yes, the beds are super, what s for me besides the qualty of the food one of my main expectations.

This is the prefect place for people who want to live and taste Marrakech and whome are able to step out of their golden cages or prisons. Come here, walk out, discover & enjoy, smell, live and taste Marrakech from here out, this riad will provide you the full dimension and perfect base for all that.

We had originally booked a room with Riad Alamir through www.luxury-riads.com but they had overbooked us so we decided to choose Riad Massiba on account of their reviews and location. We were not disappointed! The riad is pretty well located and the square is about 8-10 minutes walk away. Ahmed was very helpful and explained everything to us, even providing us with a map and detailed instructions. Down with a slight flu, we woke up late for breakfast everyday but they were so accommodating. Breakfasts were great and they asked us how we wanted our eggs done. Ahmed even lent us his phone to make an appointment with the spa! There was no one there except us as this is a very small riad, only 3 rooms. The only gripe we had was the shower... because the shower head is slightly clogged up it emitted sharp jets of water which made showering weirdly painful! But it was nothing unbearable. Other than that, we would highly recommend Riad Massiba, really like its decor, tranquility and great service. Thank you Vivienne, Ahmed and Mina!
