Traditional Riad just inside the Médina walls. Lovely staff and beautiful building.
United KingdomJust the best staff ever! So helpful, so kind and so genuine. The hotel is very cosy and in a superb location as well. highly recommended and we will definitely be back!
United KingdomLocation was fantastic. Latipha and her daughter were absolutely wonderful and extremely helpful
AustraliaFriendly and helpful staff; good breakfast; excellent location for exploring the Medina etc
NetherlandsOmaima & Mohamed are huge assets to the property, always smiling and happy to help, resolving any issues and making everything easy for our stay. For such a chaotic city, the rooms are fairly quiet and the roof terrace is a haven. The breakfast was a treat every day with 5 different breakfast surprises, which is great for longer stays.
United KingdomExcellent location and Riad room clean and functional
SwitzerlandThis is my second trip to Marrakech and I wanted to try a new Riad. The Riad is perfectly located and close to every major attraction. Right around the corner from Bahia Palace and Spice Markets. 5 min walk or so to Jemma el-fnaa, souks and many more popular sites. Omaima is beautiful and makes you feel so welcome. The breakfasts are lovely, room was incredibly clean and beautiful decor. They also offer tours outside of Marrakech at a very decent price. Certainly great value for money and highly recommend!
AustraliaA special mention to the kindness of the owner Latifah and to Humaima who welcomed us and has been very helpful and professional

Host Information
Our riad has been in the family since 1966. Purchased by my mother, it is for this reason that its name is riad el walida, which means mom in Arabic. Ideal for a stay with family, friends or a small group. The riad has a restaurant area to savor traditional Moroccan dishes but also take cooking classes.
Woman who loves her country for its history, its people and all of its riches. I am of a jovial, serious, passionate and helpful nature and sincerely wish to share this love of Morocco in general and Marrakech in particular with you. My team and I will do our utmost to make your stay enjoyable. I remain at your disposal for any questions, so do not hesitate. Your host Latifa
The riad EL WALIDA welcomes you in the center of the medina of Marrakech, a stone's throw from the legendary El Badi palace. You can also visit the El Bahia palace, the Saadian tombs, the Koutoubia mosque, Dar - SI-Said and of course the famous Jemaa-el-Fna square which is 5 mins walk. It is the favorite area for tourists.
