    In the Medina of Marrakech, off the bustle of the market that is the Great Square, lies an oasis of peace and comfort called the Riad Basma. Within its walls lies an open-air courtyard, in which one can decompress. The rooms that surround this courtyard offer both all the comfort and security that anyone can wish for. Their simplicity and beauty will put anyone at ease, while still providing all the modern necessities one can wish for. The breakfast, enjoyed on the open-air terrace, that is provided is both delicious and filling. And if any assistance is needed, than Ali is there to go over and above the call of duty, as well as to enjoy a pleasant conversation with if that is all that is needed.

    I have been to Marrakesh several times but I have never experienced a fresher, better breakfast than this, the best m'semen ever! The gem of this riad is Ali. Despite our very late night arrival (due to flight delay) Ali greeted us with a smile despite the fact that we had unfortunately woken him up. It was very sweet and helpful of him not to burden us with the problem caused and we appreciated it very much. Also, I have never met a more friendly and helpful host. He helped us with everything and granted us pleasant conversations that enriched our stay. You can see some earthquake damage but the riad is still very nice and I got to take some beautiful pictures inside.

    This was our first time in Marrakech and so glad I found this Riad. An absolutely beautiful Riad located close to Medina, Marrakech. The Riad is not as big BUT it is stunning the photos doesn't give it enough justice! it’s beautifully decorated, every detail is amazing. It is a little gem! We stayed for 3 nights our room, shower areas were always clean and also spacious. The breakfast were served on the rooftop and it was lovely and the atmosphere was very relaxing. The Staff were lovely, helpful and professional. Fatima is amazing we’ve only met her once when we first arrived in Riad but she was very good in communicating via whatsapp if you need her and she will remind you and make sure that you get on your return flight on time!! She’ll help you organise your taxi back to Airport. Very helpful and we felt at peace!

    The wifi is alright in the courtyard but doesn’t work in the rooms. The wall’s were quite thin. Sound travels very easily so I wouldn’t recommend staying here if you get woken up easily. But I’m not sure if this is a common situation in most Riad’s in Morocco.

    The location was perfect. So close to everything. The breakfast was great too, really good value for money. The riad’s design was very aesthetically pleasing. It felt like we were getting an authentic local hotel experience.

If you want to be close to the Moroccan culture this Rijad is great, you will feel the vibes of the city firs hand. Value for money is definitely great, highly recommended!

    From the moment I arrived until the moment I departed the staff at Riad Basma Marrakech were superb. They welcomed me, and helped carry my luggage to my room. They demonstrated how the air conditioning and the security safe worked, showed me the wifi username and passwords and gave me information and times regarding breakfast. The room was atmospheric which of course looked onto the highly decorative courtyard. The wifi was excellent and worked faultlessly. The breakfast which was quickly served on the roof terrace was simple and delightful. When making enquiries Fatima was incredibly helpful and informative and spoke and wrote very good English. Upon arrival Yassin welcomed me and showed me and familiarised me with the amenities. Latifa was a very pleasant and helpful lady who was flexible with her cleaning times. The team even helped me book a porter and a taxi to and from the premises. Everyone was pleasant, helpful and professional and I can only say a huge thank you to them all.

    Great location.. But not the best one.. Overly priced

    It’s pricey for what it offers. We realised that we could get better options for same or at a lower cost. No wifi signal to the ground floor room which was annoying. No television. Cars/taxis won’t go to the property. So you will be dropped at the square and you need to walk through the busy market for approx 500-600mtrs with your luggages. You could get people to carry luggages in trolleys at the square, for 20-30 MAD, after bargaining

    The property is close to Medina, 5min walk. And we loved the morning breakfast at terrace. Facilities were just okay. Staff were friendly. Stay is nice for families.

    My two adult.sons and I spent a lovely 4 nights at Riad Basma in November. The riad is very conveniently located, close to the mayhem of the Djema el Fna, but on a quiet street. The staff are wondrrfully friendly and welcoming. Fatima organized our airport pickup and a day tour to Ourika for us, everything was excellent. I would highly reccomend Riad Basma for your stay in Marrakech.

    Our lovely room for 3 people had a window onto the street which let in lots of noise, which meant sleep was difficult before about 12. We asked for an alternative room but apparently non was available. The on-site staff member was friendly but didn't speak English or French.

    I guess we met no staff - we met a guy who let us in but that was about it - no one around to ask or do anything else - I understand it is a Riad and so this is not to ding points - just mentioning that tourists may need help

    The room was well decorated - so was the Riad - the bathroom was clean and the Riad was in general clean and well maintained. Location was great to walk to the market.
