  Good location within the Medina. Spacious rooms. Booked last minute when another booking fell through. Definitely felt we could have got better value for money elsewhere. No alcohol and no guests allowed. Shower was cold most times I tried. Was asked for 100 dirhams per guest tourist tax on arrival (for a 3 night stay)- this could be made clearer on the listing.

  Marrakech

  It was lovely to stay in a traditional riad for our stay in Marrakech. Mohammed was so helpful arranging our transfers and organising taxis for us. Giving us advice on the area too. We stayed for three nights and had breakfast which was freshly cooked and delicious

  Average, but lovely host!

  The rooms are definitely quite dark, with no windows or natural light. Along with no windows, I found myself coughing frequently as the pillows were quite dusty. There isn’t really much to do in the riad itself, as the TVs don’t work, but it’s an excellent location, being very close to the centre. Mohammad is also lovely and attentive, and has kept up with us to make sure we’re doing well, which is quite nice of him to do. He’s been very kind. As my title suggests, just average, but Mohammad has multiple suggestions for things to do, so if you’re going to Marrakech perhaps clueless, it might be useful to have someone like him around.

  Home away from home

  I stayed 4 nights at this Riad and got an amaizing experience. The place is clean and staff very humble and lovely. Very close to the entry Bab Ksiba and within an walkable distance to the main square. They could improve a bit more the breakfast offering.

  Excellent and authentic Moroccan Experience

  My family and I (wife and 2 kids ages 11 and 8) had a very good time at Riad Fatuoma. This is a very traditional Moroccan accommodation that will allow you to have a full and real Moroccan experience. If you are expecting or are used to luxury or even Premier Inn-style accommodation, this is not the place for you. The accommodation is very modest, simple, and basic, but again, it provides you with an excellent experience of real Morocco (which is what many people are looking for when visiting Marrakech) at a very affordable price. The Riad is located in the old town, so get ready to walk around a labyrinth of narrow and very busy streets with high contrasts (i.e. some of them will be very touristy while others will show you the poor side of the city and its people). The area is very safe to walk at any time of the day. We had the full board. In the mornings, the breakfast was basic but tasty and traditional. For lunch and dinner, we had to tell in advance the host (Mohamed) what we wanted. These mainly consisted of Beef Tajin (a very traditional and tasty Moroccan dish), pizza, tacos and fish. Overall, the food was OK. There are plenty of stores, restaurants, corner stores, etc. around the Riad. It is located about 15-20 minutes walk to the medina, which we visited during the morning, afternoon and night as it presents three completely different faces. The only issue we had was that the room was extremely small for four people, we did not even have space where to put the suitcases, so we put them on the floor but then struggled to move around the room. We could not use the wardrobes either as the beds blocked their doors. I am not sure if the room was suitable for four people as advertised in Love Holidays. However, after a couple of days, we got used to this and just carried on well with our holiday. The toilet was of a good size but the water pressure was very poor. Also, the shower did not have a shower curtain so we had to be careful not to spill water throughout the entire bathroom. The room had air conditioning, which worked very well. The internet in the room was acceptable, although, after heavy rain, we found some issues with it. Overall, the room and in general the Riad were clean. One of the highlights of the stay was Mohamed, the Riad host, who was always there making sure that we had a pleasant time. He gave us his WhatsApp number so we communicated fast with him. He responded to all our requests very quickly and effectively. Overall, we would highly recommend Riad Fatuoma if you want to have an authentic Moroccan experience and if you are not fuzzy about modest accommodation.
