We were picked up at the airport by someone from the Riad which was a blessing because it was right in the middle of the medina. It was in walking distance of the square but was actually a very peaceful quiet place to relax at the end of the day.
The breakfast was excellent. I would recommend this hotel if you want to be close to the middle of Marrakech.

Found the Riad through venere.com website. Stayed here on our last night before returning home - two of us to UK and two to Australia.
Pierre and Pascal could not have been more helpful - allowing us to leave luggage there while we were away on a trip to the High Atlas. It is peaceful and well appointed with great views over the city from the lovely terrace.
We had a fantastic evening meal and delicious breakfast followed by a quick transfer to the airport.
A memorable finish to a great holiday - do go there!!

The Staff were excellent and could not have been more helpful, and the location Good.
However we were disappointed that we were asked to pay in Cash or pay a 15% surcharge if paying by credit card, I am in business myself and know the max surcharge should be between 2 and 4%
Also the owners insisted we had to pay an additional 15 euros to make up the single bed in the 2nd room, saying that our children should share the double bed or pay the extra.
The owners gave the impression of trying to get every last cent they could from the tourist.
This Riad is a rare example of the staff being let down by the attitude of the Owner
My advise is to try and pay via a booking agent and avoid any extras.
ps
All the other hotels we stayed at in Morocco were excellent

Overall we had a good stay. The location is good and the staff and owners are fantastic - they did a lot to make sure we had a great stay. We ended up staying in the more rustic Tataoui room which is on the top level - nice but I would request one of the rooms on the lower level and pay the extra 5 euro a night. I am guessing this room was a late addition to the Riad and, despite the best efforts of the staff, there was often an 'aroma' of old Medina plumbing wafting through our room. This was not an issue in the other rooms and certainly overall the Riad is very clean and pleasant with quaint places to spend hot afternoons away from the bustle of the medina reading, relaxing or snoozing. The owners also have a well stocked bar (extra charge) and a good selection of movies to choose from.

  • Liked — Very helpful owners and staff
  • Disliked — Medina plumbing!

Beautiful Riad in the middle of the Medina

3/3 found this review helpful

This riad is located in the middle of the Medina, but is still very quiet. It’s about a 10-15 minute walk (if you’re not shopping along the way!) to the main square, Djemaa el Fna.

The courtyard and rooms are tastefully decorated in Moroccan style.
The rooms are clean and comfortable – ours had heat and A/C.
The rooftop terrace has great views over Marrakech.
Every morning, there is a nice breakfast with homemade jams.

Pierre and Pascal are wonderful hosts. They strike a good balance between being available and helpful, but also leaving you alone and not making you feel like you are an intruder (a feeling we’ve had at other small places where the owner lives).
We checked a number of riads and hotels online and found Riad Nomades to be a great value.

To see some of Marrakech beyond the Medina and for good views of the Atlas Mountains, would recommend a walk out to Menara Gardens.
Eating in the main square, Djemaa el Fna, is an experience, but we weren’t thrilled with the food or the atmosphere. However, it’s nice to have a coffee in one of the many cafes on the side of the square and enjoy the show!
If you’re tired of Moroccan food, consider Trattoria de Giancarlo (in Gueliz, a short taxi ride from Riad Nomades). It’s on the expensive side, but the setting and food (Italian) are phenomenal.
