Amazing staff, super courteous & helpful. Beautiful property with lovely rooms. Breakfast was excellent every day. Lovely pool and terrace.
Charming and modest riad with attention to details. The staff was very friendly, and the breakfast was way better than in other riads in which we stayed
The property was really nice & relaxing. It's a small Riad that's taken care of extremely well. The hosts spoke good english and gave me tons of good advice.
The food was amazing, it was the best meal I had during my week trip to morocco.
My husband and I stayed here and absolutely loved our time here! The service was beyond our expectations, the food was great, our room was very cleaned and had everything we needed. The hostess went above and beyond to ensure our stay was pleasant. The location is perfect. Short walk to the markets and the main attractions. We will love to go back! Totally recommend!
Thank you Yassime , Ahmed , Ibrahima. We had a wonderful time staying for 7 nights in your fabulous Riad . Lovely roof top sun terrace , nice pool and a great room . Breakfast was nice and the Riad is very convenient , a short walk 10 mins to the central square . The area felt really safe , everyone being really friendly especially the team at the Nafis . See you again 🙂
Just outside the walls of the new palace, easily walkable to all main attractions but far enough away to feel immersed in the local culture. Lovely view from the terrace. Breakfast was always very good and everyone extremely helpful.
The pool was a bit too cold for February and our apartment was on the ground floor which meant there was some street noise. However, would be happy to stay again.

Abdul was an amazing host. very helpful, very informative and made my birthday very enjoyable. he went above and beyond and I could of asked for better person. Hamid made me an amazing breakfast on my last day and was very kind. Yasin was also very helpful I thank you for help with my luggage. the property is so peaceful and it’s like a family home. would recommend the Riad Nafis to everyone !
The staff and service was excellent. They made us feel so welcome and relaxed at the property.
The riad is in a quiet place and although cars cant get to the entrance of the road, you can easily walk to the place from the main street. Tucked in a little corner and although the outside might not look impressive, the inside is certainly as reflect in the picture.
Unfortunately, I was looking forward to swimming but we couldnt use the pool as the water was cold. Also note there is no actual spa in the riad but the owner can easily recommend some good places for you which are close by.
Breakfast was nice and typical morrocan styled, there is option to request for dinner should you wish to and you just need to give the staff a heads up.
Overall, i had a pleasant stay at Road Nafis
A few of the taxis did not know where the riad was but we finally found someone who did. We were dropped off in the street and given vague directions of how to get there through narrow winding streets. We had to ask directions from someone but eventually found it. We arrived a little earlier than 3pm but a warm welcome awaited us. I had asked for 2 single beds so the room had to be rearranged for us. The riad was beautiful, amazing artwork, furniture, pool and a wonderful rooftop terrace. Sorry we weren't there a bit longer really. They arranged a taxi for us to go to the airport the next morning at 8am and actually walked us through the streets to the taxi. Some confusion over an early breakfast but we got there in the end. I would definitely go back. It was lovely.
We were looking for a base for our next time in Marrakech and this is it! Just few minutes by walking from place Jemma el Fna, but enough to be in a very quiet area. A lot of small shops in the nearby, way cheaper than near the place (for water, bread etc... I suggest buying here). Our room, even more beautyful than in the pictures, had also a heating system, and a smaller one was in the bathroom. The architecture, seems projected by a very skilled architect. Aboslutely amazing!
Good petit dejuner as breakfast, with some small variation from day to day, in an elegant room with a lit fireplace in the winter season. Approved!
We enjoyed the terrace too: simply imagine a garden on the rooftop, with a zellige fountain and a supercomfortable sofa... a dream.
Since it is January we didn't use the swimmingpool, but it was perfectly clean.
Perfect daily cleaning. Wifi, shower etc... everything perfectly working.
Although I'll come back for sure, the only thing I suggest is improving the illumination, wich is romantic, but if somebody wants to read in the evening, may not be the best.
I'll recommend this riad not only on this platform, but also to friends and al people that will come to Marrakech.
Riad Nafis people and location made my trip better and much easier, it’s walking distance from main attractions in marrakesh, Riad staff serve you like you are one of the family and we eventually became friends indeed.
Such a great experience and amazing stay with Riad Nafis. Special thanks to Yassine, Hameed and Abdul for your kind gesture and always felt like home 😊
Fabulous place! Well located and very lovely and helpful staff, especially Yassine who went out of his way to help me with problem I had with my phone. I’m very grateful for his generosity, and I will be back!!!
This is a wonderful small Riad in a quiet, authentic district just a short walk from the heart of the old town. The staff are excellent - Yassine, the owner, and a small, friendly team, and this is hugely helpful. It has 5 rooms, all well-furnished and finished, set around a pool, and with a lovely roof terrace. Breakfast was very good - we wish we'd had a chance for a dinner - next time!
The bed was comfortable, the shower good and the wi-fi excellent - and there was aircon/heating if needed. We'll certainly be back the next time we're in Marrakech!
My first time staying in a Riad. It really is like living in a pleasant house, so don't expect as much privacy or isolation as you might get in a typical hotel. It's a lot more intimate and close quarters.
I enjoyed staying at the Riad Nafis - it was comfortable and you were well looked after. Yassine, the owner, went above and beyond in trying to assist me after I left my wallet in a taxi. He was always happy to help and welcome you as were his team.
I happily recommend.
We loved our stay at Riad Nafis. The owner was very friendly and helpful, with excellent English which was a relief as my French is not very good. The service is very good, on par with a 5 star hotel. The room was very comfortable, it is not palatial, but is very nice and a great value. We enjoyed the location, it was 10-15 minutes walk away from the main square and was a little less hectic, though I would not say quiet. There are 24 hour guards at the adjacent Royal Palace so the very unassuming little alleys to access the Riad feel safe at all hours. The Riad is a little confusing to find at first and looks very plain from outside, but this seems to be common with riads in Marrakech. Yassine arranged several great excursions for us and also arranged a romantic dinner at a very nice restaurant for our anniversary. The personal touches that he arranged for us for dinner were a wonderful surprise. I included a picture of the dinner setting, even though this is not in the Riad. There was also a stork's nest on a nearby mosque that was very visible from the rooftop terrace and a great photo opportunity if you have a good camera (I only had my iphone)
Piacevole permanenza di 4 notti in questo Riad in ottima posizione a due passi dalla Moschea Koutoubia e dalle tombe Saadiane. Staff cortese, soprattutto un grazie a Ibrahim, che ci ha accolto al nostro arrivo, gentilissimo e disponibile. Camera spaziosa e ben tenuta, unica pecca il lavandino in bagno che perdeva (e che non sono riusciti a sistemare durante la nostra permanenza) e il wc della reception con scarico non funzionante (nessun problema con quello in camera). Colazione abbondante e buonissima, terrazza curata e suggestiva. Consigliato!
