We arrived by car and got perfect directions. The Riad is completely refurbished last year and it shows, lovely rooms and common area's, a small pool and a roof terrace. Our suite was perfect for a family, spacious and cosy.The dinner provided is great and freshly made everyday. Ask for the local speciality, Tanger, which is simmered in te Hamman... More

Riad Houdou is really exceptional! Its a small, romantic and warm place to stay in the centre of the Medina of Marrakech. Very warm and friendly owners who are willing to make you feel at home. If you want you can also take the lunch or dinner, really wonderful maroccan food. We will return one day.....

For my 50 years birthday, my wife organised a 3 days trip in Marrakech and reserved the suite of this beautiful riad. The small street leading to the riad is awful, but once you're there ... it's a world apart : rarely had I seen an hotel where each corner, each piece has been selected or decorated with so much...

Dear Massimo. It was an honor that your wife choose our riad to celebrate your birthday. We are very happy that you enjoy your stay. You know, it is the principle of the riad to be a peaceful house preserved from outside. It is a little bit strong to say that the street is awful… In the medina, all the... More

If you want to eat at McDonalds or shop at Zara, then this is not the place for you. If you want to see the areas that look and feel like the Marrakech you've dreamed of, then stay at Riad Houdou. It's located in the Medina down a little side street. About a ten minute walk to the square and... More

For all those that want to feel truly and pleasantly surprised, try the Riad Houdou!

I stayed here with my husband in April. At first I was a bit disappointed because the rooms were not quite as presented in the photos in Trip Advisor. i.e. no curtains or scatter cushions and the low wattage made the rooms appear dulll/dingy when we arrived in the evening. However, once I got used to the fact that a... More
