The company of Erik, Didier. The food of Rajaa en Fatima Zahra and the big smile of Azziz. O sorry I nearly forget the... More

Throughout our holidays in Morocco we enjoyed many different accommodations amongst them a number of Riads in different cities. But without hesitation we can say that the Riad Houdou has been the most inviting, wonderful, inspirational place that we stayed at. It was as if being at home: An oasis in the heart of Marrakech's Medina and our hosts would... More

Riad Houdou is really exceptional! Its a small, romantic and warm place to stay in the centre of the Medina of Marrakech. Very warm and friendly owners who are willing to make you feel at home. If you want you can also take the lunch or dinner, really wonderful maroccan food. We will return one day.....
