This was the second riad we stayed at when we went to Marrakech. Khalid, one of the helpers in riad, was kind enough to pick us up from the previous riad at which we were staying. The room we stayed in (for two people) was spacious and the bathrooms/shower was bigger than the first riad we stayed at. The location of this riad is very convenient, just next to the main thoroughfare of the northern part of the medina, yet close enough to the area accessible by taxis. Despite the proximity to the medina, it is an oasis of tranquility once you step in. It is also further away from the mosques, so our sleep was not interrupted by the early morning prayers. The kitchen in this riad was substantially bigger and hence the variety and quality of the breakfasts provided was also better. The staff were also kind enough to wake up earlier than normal to cook breakfast for us on the day of our departure. The riad also has a lovely rooftop terrace to hang out in the late afternoons before sunset. Overall, an enjoyable stay in this Riad!

We stayed at Riad Due from September 1-5. While the decor is gorgeous and the staff friendly, the overall experience was disappointing. The biggest issue was that we had no hot water -- which made the big, beautiful tub that caused us to spring for our suite fairly useless. I told the staff the first day and was assured the problem was fixed. It was not and I emailed the manager (Emanuela) who NEVER RESPONDED. We were without hot water for the full length of the visit.
Also, we were interested in the pool which was more decorative than useful (very small).

Riad Due is located in the Old Medina, Riad Larouse. The staff were friendly and pleasant and the decor was impressive. There are 4 suites/rooms, a kitchen, rooftop terrace, very small central pool, outdoor central sitting/eating area. There is a bit of a walk from the nearest taxi drop-off point which is very congested during the day with a lot of for traffic and speeding mopeds. Unfortunately, our suite was so incredibly hot that the first night we did not sleep since the AC was not working. The second night was still so hot that we had to sleep in the central courtyard to try and catch a breeze. Again, we could not sleep due to the noise and discomfort. The third night we chose to try the room again and leave the door to the suite open. In addition, we had massages in our rooms that were booked by the staff. The exchange rate was 8.6 MAD per USD. However, I was told that the "hotel exchange rate" was 7 MAD per USD. After being haggled to death during our stay in Casablanca, I was hoping the experience in Marrakech would be different. I did not feel that the staff at Riad Due were protective of us. Instead they were also interested in the kickbacks that is typical of Moroccan service personel. Finally, the availability of food is very limited, there is no TV and the lighting in the rooms was extremely poor. I would not stay there again.

Another Very sweet, calm and tranquil space, wonderful staff- Emanuela, Rashid, Roselin, and the lovely lady who helped with my laundry (please forgive me if my spekllings are wrong!)Thank you all! The staff were so gracious, and helful, and even made me a special breakfast cake, helped me book my Hamman, was very very kind in their assistance. Highly recommend this Riad.
