My stay at Riad Africa was a mix of positives and a few letdowns. The staff were incredibly warm and helpful, always ready to assist. However, my room, Timbuktu, had significant noise issues from breakfast and dinner preparations, and the ventilation left much to be desired. While the location was excellent for exploring, I found the room's lack of comfort disappointing, along with the breakfast experience that didn't meet my expectations.

Staying at Riad Africa was truly a wonderful experience. The warm hospitality from the staff and the comfortable atmosphere made it feel like a home away from home. I enjoyed the fantastic meals and the convenient location, just a short walk from the bustling main square and souks. However, I did find the room to be a bit small and the sound insulation lacking, making it a bit noisy at times.

I had a mixed experience at Riad Africa. The location is excellent, situated in the heart of the Marrakech Medina, which made it easy to explore the local markets. However, I found my room quite cold and somewhat uncomfortable, especially with the marble flooring. The breakfast options were limited, and the need to rely on staff for access to the front door was a hassle at times.

My stay at Riad Africa was good in many ways, but also had its drawbacks. The location was superb, central to the Medina and close to markets. The room was comfortable, though the chilly marble floors made it a bit cold at times. Breakfast could have been better as it was quite limited, and service could be slow. Overall, I enjoyed my time, but there are areas for improvement. 🌍✨
