I suggest bringing earplugs because this beautiful old building is not soundproof.

Wonderful riad in great location with exceptional staff! Our stay was fantastic and they organized everything from airport pickup to excursions to massage appointments. Delicious breakfast, a beautiful space. Thank you, gentlemen, for a fantastic stay. 10 stars.

We had booked very late so we had a small room on the ground floor. It worked for us for one night, but more than that and it would be uncomfortable. The toilet is so small you can't close the door if you are inside! Perhaps book a larger room on the upper floors.

We booked Riad Bab Nour for an emergency extra night in Marrakesh. Abdellah contacted me before we even left Essaouira to let me know about the porter meeting point to help with luggage and directions. We were met without any issues and taken to the Riad where we met Abdellah. Very helpful and friendly and attentive with a genuine welcome which was much appreciated. We even met Abdellah in Jemaa ElFna the following morning as he was coming to work. He recognised us and stopped to wish us on our way! The Riad is right in the centre of things and easy to get to most places quickly. We had breakfast served to us before we left (which was an early departure) we had not ordered this and were not expecting anything so this was a nice surprise.

From the moment we stepped into the riad, we were completely enchanted. The atmosphere was authentic, warm, calm and peaceful, full of Moroccan charm — every corner told a story. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive, making us feel like honored guests rather than tourists. Our room was beautifully decorated with traditional Moroccan details, yet equipped with all the modern comforts. The rooftop terrace offered breathtaking views of the medina, especially at sunset — it felt magical. What truly made our stay unforgettable was the personal touch: helpful tips for exploring the city, recommendations for hidden gems, and heartfelt conversations about Moroccan culture.

We had a fantastic stay at Riad Babnour! The hospitality was truly amazing – the team goes above and beyond to make you feel at home. The breakfast was delicious and generous, with fresh local products and great attention to detail. The cleaning and overall care were excellent; the riad is spotless and beautifully decorated. All the staff, from the hosts to the cleaning team, were friendly, helpful, and genuinely caring. The location is perfect – peaceful, yet within walking distance of the medina and main attractions. Overall, a warm and welcoming place to experience the best of Marrakesh. Highly recommended for anyone who values comfort, personal service, and a relaxing atmosphere.

Breakfast is basic but nice, but some variation would be great (fruit, eggs, yogurt etc).

Super helpful and kind staff. Very clean and comfortable room and facilities, the plunge pool is great after a day out in the chaos. Quiet aircon. Comfortable bed and location is generally quiet down an ally just off a main souk area. Nice view from the rooftop.

The gentlemen at the hotel are pleasant and helpful, great service. Close to all the major attractions in the city. Kind of tricky to find though since it is located inside a very narrow alley so, have your google maps on and ready.

There are few things that made our short stay a bit difficult. When we came back from a walk, we had to wait outside the riad for about 10 minutes — ringing the bell, calling, and knocking — but no one answered. I was with my small child who urgently needed the toilet. We were later told it was during a staff shift change, but as guests, that shouldn’t have affected us — my daughter was really distressed by the wait. Also, we had arranged for an early breakfast at 7:30 instead of 8:00, as we had to leave for the airport. But at 7:30 nothing was ready, and we had to wait another 15 minutes. That left us only a few minutes to eat before we had to rush out. Finally, since the riad is located in the Medina and we had a car, we couldn’t drive close to the entrance. The nearest parking was about a 15-minute walk away with child, and in 50°C heat with a small child and heavy luggage, it was very tough. I didn’t see any notice in advance that the riad wasn’t accessible by car, which would have been helpful to know as first-time visitors to Marrakech.

We had a wonderful stay in this very beautiful and cozy riad. By arrival we got maroccan tea and sweets, while wait for the room. Check in and check out was fast. Wifi works great. There are two lovely indoor pools with refreshing cold water— one deeper, and one perfect for kids: my 6-year-old daughter could stand in it easily. The rooms are just gorgeous, with stunning Moroccan-style interiors. Very quite in the night, even it situated in the heart of Medina. Everything is peaceful, calm music plays softly, and every detail is well thought out. The breakfast was generous and tasty, real moroccan style. The staff are kind, polite, and always smiling. We truly enjoyed our time here!

This Riad is great under all aspect. Quality, location, staff and service. The breakfast Is served and every day there is something different. I really recommend this unit and a special thanks to Braim the Night porter who was fantastic.

Riad bab nour was in an excellent location and the staff were so friendly and very helpful. The rooms were comfortable and the rooftop was the best place for chilling out. Definitely bringing my friend Shane next time!

The only downside was that the area around the relaxing pools was sometimes a bit dirty with hair on the ground. Nothing terrible, but it was the only thing we noticed that could be improved. Otherwise, everything else was great.

Breakfast was almost the same every day, but it was really tasty. The rooms were clean and cleaned daily without any issues such as WiFi problems, water outages, or AC malfunctions. There was a beautiful view from the patio, which was located on the rooftop and had plenty of seating and loungers for relaxing.

the room was very small, the bed was hard (some love it, some not), the cushions way to hard and big. our room was a little hot. luckily we had ac.

the location was perfect, staff very nice, the roof top and the pool area are amazing. perfect place for a short and afortable stay.

We liked everything!

We very much enjoyed the Riad Bab Nour for a variety of reasons. One, the staff arranged for our transport and portage to and from the airport which was extremely helpful for us. Second, the riad is situated is close to the square and restaurants and it is within the medina itself. There there was much to see and do within easy reach. Third, the staff was extremely accommodating and addressed all of our needs. Breakfast was served every morning on the peaceful and comfortable rooftop, and the food was ample, delicious, enjoyed by our family of 6 of all ages.' There are two dipping pools on the first floor which were great for winding-down and lowering body temperature after a day in the busy medina and the amazingly chaotic square at night.

I stayed 7 nights at Riad Bab Nour and it became my little cosy home during those days in Marrakech! It was very nice, very clean, liked my room which had a little terrace of its own. Bed was very comfy, I slept really well. Room had an AC for those hot days in Marrakesh, so it was just perfect. The staff was so lovely, nice and caring, I couldn't haved wished for more. They also helped me organize some trips and made sure I had a nice breakfast even when I had to leave early for those tours. It's very central, but inside the Riad it's totally calm. It has a lovely roof top terrace where I enjoyed a delicious breakfast in the mornings and some mint tea as well as some reading and relaxing time in the evenings before heading again to the nearby souks. Would definitely book again and totally recommend, especially as a solo traveller.

The property was clean and very well presented. The room was cleaned each day and bed made while I was out. The rooftop was lovely.

The road outside the riad could have been improved but it was still safe to walk down.

My wife and I loved our stay at Riad Bab Nour, the location was perfect , the Riad was beautifully decorated giving a really authentic feel to the place , the breakfast was delicious and the staff were incredibly kind and helpful especially Abdellah who on many occasions would help us out.

Riads are very open concept and while it was a great unique experience for our family, probably not as suitable for many kids or louder families. There are many narrow stair wells and you cannot get a car to the door of the riad, something to consider if you have mobility challenges or a lot of luggage. There are people you can pay to help with luggage of course.

My husband and I stayed for three nights in May 2025 with our 3 year old child. We had a beautiful room on the 3rd floor with a king bedroom and separate twin beds. The Riad was updated with good wifi and nice bathrooms, we even used the little pools in the common area. The breakfast each day was amazing and they were very friendly. We forgot our iPad when we checked out and realized at the airport, they immediately contacted us and drove it to the airport - above and beyond what I would expect. Great value for money, 2 minutes off of the main Jama square, quiet because it is a bit down an alley but not far enough that we did not feel safe.

Incredibly tranquil and very pretty riad situated a several yards down an alleyway immediately off the hub of the main souk but close enough not to worry about any safety issues when leaving the Main Street. You cannot believe you are seconds away from the hustle and bustle as it’s so peaceful inside. We have visited Marrakesh before and stayed a little central but this riad is perfectly situated if you are shopping and want to take your heavy purchases back throughout the day. Staff were always friendly, polite and happy to help with any request. The breakfast is traditional and is really lovely to be served on the rooftop when cooler. We asked for them to arrange a transfer to the airport which was a little more than you could arrange yourself from the street but they helped with our luggage and arranged for a private car which was very welcomed when faced with the chaos of trying to muddle through the busy streets, in the heat and with heavy luggage.

The narrow street where the riad is located made me a little nervous after dark particularly as a solo traveller. Having said that I did not have any bad experiences.

Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Traditional Moroccan breakfast made me want to get up in the morning.

Bar area not utilised as it could have been, for example mock cocktails on the terrace as the sunset would have been lovely. Our bedroom suffered with a little street noise, but that was to be expected so close to the souks.

Staff were brilliant couldn't have been more helpful. Good varied breakfast served either on the terrace or within the riad. Only a few steps from the souks.

Rooms aren't fully soundproof, but that's common to all of the riads

The staff were so accommodating. When I came down with horrific food poisoning, they pushed my checkout time as late as possible and then let me stay in the lobby until it was time to go to the airport. They then carried my bags 15 minutes to the taxi. I don't know what I would've done without their kind support. Thank you Brahim!
