Riad Honey Marrakesh

Review by hotel critic

Upon arriving at Riad Honey, I was pleasantly surprised by its charming simplicity and authentic Moroccan ambiance. The Riad offers a peaceful retreat from the bustling streets of Marrakech, making it ideal for travelers looking to immerse themselves in the local culture. The courtyard and surrounding balcony provide a tranquil setting to start the day, accompanied by the delightful sounds of the morning birds. They go above and beyond to ensure guests have a comfortable stay, from organizing reservations for dining and spa services to arranging private tours through the Atlas Mountains. Youssef's dedication to providing 5-star service is truly commendable and adds significant value to the overall experience.While the Riad is slightly off the beaten track, requiring a 15-20 minute walk to the main square, it offers a unique opportunity to witness authentic Marrakech life. The breakfasts served at the Riad are both generous and delicious, giving guests a taste of local cuisine. However, the proximity to loudspeakers used for the morning prayer can be a downside for light sleepers, necessitating the use of earplugs.In terms of amenities, Riad Honey provides essential comforts such as air conditioning and Wi-Fi, ensuring a convenient stay for guests. The serene garden area offers a peaceful retreat, perfect for relaxation after a day of exploring the city. The option of paid airport shuttle services adds convenience for travelers requiring transportation to and from the airport.Riad Honey strikes a balance between affordability and luxury, offering a true Moroccan experience at a reasonable cost. While some may find the location slightly distant from the main attractions, the personalized service and tranquil atmosphere make it a worthwhile choice for those seeking a cultural immersion in Marrakech.
