My sister and I went to Marrakesh from the 9th - 13th October. The weather was perfect.
34 degrees and clear blue skies.
We spent hours searching the internet for accommodation and finally chose Riad Birdy.
It seemed that it would be good value for money - and it was!
The Riad was lovely.
Vincent helped out by giving us a map and circling some places on it - after we told him what we'd like to see. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there. It was peaceful and relaxing. Just what you needed after a day shopping! We walked everywhere from our Riad.- it was a 20 minute walk from 'La Place' - a central point in the Medina. The only transport we needed was to and from the airport which was arranged by Vincent. Both times the vehicles were there in plenty of time to collect us so no complaints about that at all.
All I can say is if you're coming on easyjet, buy the extra check in luggage add-on. We did, just in case we wanted to buy stuff and with all the leather goods it was well worth it.
Marrakesh is manic, hot, vibrant, run down and smelly in places but we loved our visit! You just need a place like Riad Birdy to come home to.

We stayed at both Dar Tayib and Riad Birdy (another riad across Marrakesh), which are both run by the same owners. Both riads were comfortable, good value for money and conveniently located. Djemaa el-Fna (the main square) is located just a 20 minute walk from Riad Birdy. Riad Birdy is newly opened and very plush. Lots of lovely rooms and chill out places, plus a plunge pool.

However, we did have few problems with our reservations. Despite several emails in which my reservation and taxi pick up at the airport were confirmed, on our arrival no-one met us at the airport and we had to make our own way to the riad where they had no record of our booking.

Whilst staying at Riad Birdy I reconfirmed our booking in a few days time as we were heading off to Fez and then returning to Marrakesh. It was confirmed that we would be at Riad Birdy and we left our luggage with them. However, after a 9 hour train journey back to Marrakesh and on arrival at Riad Birdy, we received a call from the owners telling us that the whole riad had actually been booked up. This annoyed me as we had already confirmed our booking with them back in September via email and then in person a few days before and they had our luggage at Riad Birdy. We had a sneaky suspicion that the larger booking had come in while we were away and that we had been bumped for it.

What followed was quite chaotic. We were sent us off in a taxi with a young Moroccan boy to Dar Tayib (the owners other riad across town). No-one clearly explained to us what was happening. We were literally being shoved from pillar to post and found this very stressful after a long journey from Fez. We both felt that the situation was handled very unprofessionally.

We advise you to doubly confirm your booking preferably by phone the day before travelling (please note that Vincent speaks very good English, but everyone else speaks French) and you may also find as we did that breakfast can get a little tedious with the same microwave heated rolls and pancakes every day, but dinner at the riad is lovely, albeit a little pricey.

All in all Riad Birdy is a lovely place to stay and the young Moroccan girl that works there could not be sweeter and more helpful. The owners are lovely people and very hospitable, however, their lack of professionalism regarding our reservations did cause us some stress on an otherwise wonderful holiday.

My partner and I stayed in four riads in Morocco, and Riad Birdy was our favourite. Vincent the owner was wonderful to us, it was nice to be hosted by someone with fluent English and he was a very generous host. I had troubles with my ear and he got on his moped and went from pharmacy to pharmacy finding me something to treat it, which was hugely appreciated. The food was also the best we had in Marrakech, dinner tables were decorated with flower petals, everything was above and beyond our expectations. Finally, Riad Birdy was the most tastefully decorated place we visited in Morocco, the workmanship and sense of style was fantastic. Highly, highly recommended!

it was very good and they was very nice people and Collaborators .. if i need to comeback to marrakech i well go to this riad
