WE LOVED Riad El Fenn. Full of atmosphere in an enchanting city. A real haven from the chaos of the medina. Loved the little touches like free tea/coffee outside room at 7am and the free mini bar and the amazing afternoon tea and homemade cakes.
Our favourite bit was the outdoor seating area outside our room with the sounds of the trickling water and the distant sounds of city life in the background.
Just fabulous.
Our room was totally amazing - like nothing I've ever stayed in, and the bathroom was just incredible with the highest ceilings ever and a huge sunken bath. Brilliant bed leading to the best night's sleep.
The hamman could have been better. But other than that it was amazing.

A memorable long weekend in this haven in the midst of the bustle of the Souk. Room 19 lived up to expectations; we loved the private roof terrace, rose scented soaps, bath oils, mud masks and big fluffy robes in the palatial bathroom. The fine linen sheets, open fires and rich Moroccan decor added to the sense of opulence.
The Riad has enchanting courtyards and lovely pools – although the water was a little chilly. We experienced an invigorating hammam followed by a blissfully relaxing massage. The afternoon tea is delightful and the terrace breakfast serves the most delicious spiced porridge, home made yoghurt and fruits.
We had a warm welcome from enthusiastic and knowledgeable staff and nothing was too much trouble which made our stay really special. An oasis indeed!

Prior to getting a series of short, sharp lessons in humility from stallholders in the souks of Marrakech (face it: their silky bargaining skills are built on something you’ll never know: the real cost of a sales item), you’ll need a damn good breakfast. Something to give you strength to plunge into the maze of hot, narrow lanes where sellers are standing shoulder-to-shoulder to relieve you of twice the amount of Dirham you should have paid for pieces of tat. A breakfast like Riad El Fenn’s homemade yoghurt, slim baguettes, runny jams and fresh mint tea.

Under a pale blue sky in a pale red city, and seated on the riad’s rooftop beneath a casually-thatched wooden awning, you can eat well while practicing your appalling French on the charming, professional and supremely patient waitstaff. Scrambled oeufs, merci. Ah, this is the way to start your day in the Medina: a raffish, if slightly scruffy, area of Marrakech.

Now you’re ready. The nearby souks await. You have nothing to lose but your perky innocence. Hours later, with the happy laughter of contented sellers still ringing in your dust-flecked ears, you’ll return to the Riad El Fenn. Pass me that book of travel clichés, s’il vous plait. “Oasis” is the word. Cool, in both senses of the word, the riad manages to combine restrained elegance with impeccable service.
My wife (described to me by several souk sellers as “your Berber wife” for her ability to turn the gentle art of bargaining into a form of street warfare) and I have just spent five days at Riad El Fenn. Blissful days, indeed, in Room 19. Would we go back? Put it this way: to raise the money, we’d even sell some of the almost priceless items we bought in the Medina’s markets. Almost priceless but, for you, I can do a special price, not a “tourist price”. I consider you a friend. To you, I can offer an antique silver-like serving tray hand-etched centuries ago by skilled craftsmen in the fastness of the High Atlas Mountains. For you, 3600 Dirhams. No, do not thank me, you are a friend. Cash only.

It's rare to find somewhere that really lives up to all the things that they say about themselves on their website but, Riad el Fenn does and really is a wonderful boutique hotel of unique quality. The attention to detail is so clearly evident throughout the riad - from the sumptuous rooms throught to the friendliest and professional service - making it all the more difficult to leave! Thank you everyone at Riad el Fenn for making my first visit to Marrakesh an unforgettable one - I was there with friends and my partner and we all agreed that it is simply our favourite hotel in the world and the only place to stay, when you're visiting Marakesh! You'd be silly not to.
