Riad El Youssoufi

Wonderful experience in a wonderful place! Perfect welcome from the Riad staff. The room was very confortable and the breakfast, consumed on the terrace of the roof of the Riad was very good. I can also suggest a dinner here. We spent 4 night here and it deserves the stay!

Attention to detail, plus the guidance from hotel staff was tremendous from start to finish. This allowed us to get the most out of our stay in Morocco. Local intelligence by staff was exceptional, allowing our expectations to be delivered and exceeded.

Lovely little place, nice touches with decor and breakfast was great. Helpful staff and central location. We would definitely recommend having a tour guide booked to take you through the souk & we organised this through the riad in advance.

We loved it here! The Riad is so calm and peaceful, just the right distance away from Jemaa el Fnaa (a 15 minute walk away through the medina, so quite accessible but also far enough away to be quiet and peaceful). The staff were incredibly welcoming and always available (thank you Yassine and Rachida), Asma was always contactable and so, so helpful. We’d ordered dinner here on our first evening and that was delicious. We quickly learnt that portion sizes in Marrakech are US-style huge (one starter and one main between our family of 3 was always more than enough). Really recommend Riad El Youssoufi as the place to stay and our top tips: on your first day of your visit do a walking tour, if the city gets too much look for day/pool pass options for the Palmeraie hotels, on your last day visit a hammam.

Riad Youssofi is a very nice place to stay in Marrakech. Room a little bit small but very clean and comfortable. We had a very good dinner in the patio, with special food from Morocco. Personnel very kind. They even arrange a massage in the room despite short notice request

Despite the place being beautiful and the workers very kind, the sheets in our room were dirty, the bathroom was outside the room, every time we took a shower the bathroom was flooded and every day when we returned to the room (which we left locked up) they moved our belongings (things placed inside the suitcases, suitcases closed and placed in another position, shoes moved, things placed inside the wardrobe, etc) and breakfast was very poor in variety and quantity. These things don't happen everywhere, in fact, it didn't happen at none of the 5 other places we stayed during our trip to Morocco, whose online ratings were much lower. As hygiene and our belongings are fundamental for us, we rate the Riad with 6 out of 10. After making our evaluation, we received several messages and audios from the owner, demanding explanations in a very rude way. We politely explained the situation and said that it was a way for them to know what they could improve to be even better and that despite everything we would recommend the place to our friends. We were surprised by more messages and extremely rude audios, this time calling us liars, saying that we had to change our review and that if we returned to Marracheck we would not be accepted in this Riad. It was an extremely unpleasant situation, even when we mentioned that she was being rude, the response we got was that she would talk to us however she wanted, because the Riad is hers. After reading other reviews we realized that it didn't just happen to us and that if we don't give the Riad a high rating the owner will blame us for their mistakes and her lack of professionalism. We were extremely disappointed.
