    An exceptional stay in an exceptional place! The Riad is perfectly located, just a short walk from all the main attractions within the old city. It’s a peaceful haven, beautifully decorated with great attention to detail. The rooms are comfortable and spotless, and the staff truly live up to the standard. Don’t hesitate to try the food and the spa — both are excellent and make the experience even more special.

    Riad Contessa is an oasis of peace, close to everything; the souk is just a few minutes' walk away. Thanks to all the staff for their kindness. The room was stunning, exceeding our expectations. The breakfast was plentiful and delicious. We had dinner at the riad one evening and honestly, we ate the best tagine of our holiday. A special mention for the cleanliness of the riad; everything was impeccable. We will definitely be back.

    Beautiful riad. We visited other riads in Marrakech, but Riad Contessa was the one we liked best. We were welcomed kindly by the staff, who gave us useful advice. The room was large, spotlessly clean and incredibly well decorated. Excellent and plentiful breakfast on the terrace in the morning. We will definitely be back.

    Everything about this riad exceeded my expectations. The staff were incredibly kind, attentive, and always ready to help. The breakfast was delicious, freshly prepared every morning. My room was beautifully decorated, spotless, with every service, and full of Moroccan charm. The rooftop terrace with the pool was a true oasis, to relax after exploring the streets of Marrakech. The location was just a few minutes’ walk from the main attractions, but also quiet to enjoy real tranquility at night. I can’t recommend this riad highly enough. I’ll definitely come back!

    This was one of the most beautiful places I have stayed in. It's even more stunning than the photos, so well cared for, so clean. The staff are extremely helpful and welcoming - both Marouane and Yousef could not have been nicer. On arrival the mint tea and biscuits are a lovely welcome, and breakfast everyday is fresh and delicious. Our room, Contessa suite, was stunning. The location is excellent - well located to walk to all the key sights but just away from the chaos of the souks. The plunge pool offers a pleasant 'cool off' after a busy day. I cannot recommend this riad highly enough. I hope to return - th you to all the staff!

    Nothing it was perfect

    The Riad Contessa was a paradise/ perfect haven, located right in the centre of the wonderful chaos of Marrakesh. The location was perfect for a short city break, close to all the major sights. The Riad was perfectly clean, the interiors were designed and styled with class. It had everything we wanted and felt really luxurious. The rooms and bathrooms were comfortable and felt high end. The bed and pillows were perfect and we slept brilliantly every night. The breakfast was really lovely and we enjoyed every morning eating the delicious treats up on the Riad roof terrace. Just a wonderful as the Riad itself was the warming welcome and charm of the Staff. Right from check in, to the moment we checked out they were friendly and made us feel like friends. Youssef was delightful and we enjoyed our chats each morning and evening. He even helped us with problems with our phones, which we really appreciated. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend staying at Riad Contessa and I hope if we ever come back to Marrakesh, to stay at this wonderful place again in the future.

Some really nice restaurants nearby which was super convenient too. The staff are very knowledgable and go above and beyond on every request. Marwan and Yosef looked after us and they have been nothing short of outstanding .

    Staying at this riad was an absolutely magical experience – we truly felt like we were living in a fairy tale. Our apartment was so beautiful that even the famous Medersa Ben Youssef seemed less impressive afterwards. It felt like a true work of art, with every detail carefully crafted. The location is excellent – close to all the main attractions, yet offering peace and quiet for proper rest and relaxation. The food was outstanding, without a doubt one of the best we had during our entire trip. The rooftop was a highlight – perfect for unwinding, with a small pool to cool off and comfortable loungers for lazy afternoons in the sun.

    When we arrived at Riad Contessa we were warmly welcomed by Marouane. Delicious cookies and mint tea were served. The atmosphere of the Riad is very cultural and traditional. Every corner of the hotel is filled with Marrakech motifs and traditional handicrafts. We loved our stay with a fantastic location. We enjoyed our holiday and felt at home. Delicious breakfast was served. The rooms of the Riad were decorated very historically and there was a quality comfortable bed. The rooms were cleaned daily. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The Riad is very central and only a few minutes away from Marrakech's souks. Marouane and Youssef guided us to the historical sites and the best places to eat. A special thank you to Marouane for the good advice on the tips especially for our day trip to Essaouira. If you want to stay close to everything then Riad Contessa is the right place. We will definitely recommend to our family/friends and will come again to Marrakech. Thank you for everything Riad Contessa.

    The riad is so beautiful, super clean and Youssuf and Asmaa were so nice. Always very attentive for our needs and very helpful to get transportation from the airport to pick us up and for our return to the airport too. The pool in the rooftop small but enough to refresh after the intense heat while we were there in July. Overall, we will definitely stay again if we’ll come back to Marrakech. Thank for everything!

    Everything was perfect.

    On arrival the lovely host Marouane served us mint tea and homemade biscuits, he then sat down and gave us some recommendations for our stay in Marrakech. At night we met the lovely Youssef who went above and beyond. Both Marouane and Youssef gave us the best welcome we have ever received. During our stay they were always there to help and nothing was ever too much. The riad was spotless, felt very homely and was a lovely relaxing place away from the chaos of the city centre. The pool was nice and the breakfast delicious!

    The best hotel I’ve stayed! The riad is so beautiful and Youssef & Marrawa so attentive and friendly. Really nice breakfast served at the rooftop during summer. The riad has a very calm atmosphere. Loved it that no tv in a room. You can look at the sunset & stars at the rooftop instead and relax. I will definitely come again.
