Riad Jibril

We had the pleasure of staying at Riad Jibril during our visit to Marrakech, and what a delightful experience it was! Our host, Iheb, truly deserves the title of a legend. From the moment we checked in until we checked out, he made our stay memorable. Whilr it may not be a 5-star hotel, it provided a unique and authentic Moroccan experience that exceeded our expectations. The riad itself, with its traditional architecture, was clean and inviting. The highlight was undoubtedly the serene terrace, a peaceful oasis away from the hustle and bustle of the medina. One evening, we indulged in sheesha on the terrace, a delightful experience that only cost us around 70 MAD. We also had the pleasure of dining on the terrace, where we enjoyed delicious tagines at a very reasonable price of 60 MAD each. The chef's culinary skills were truly impressive. The breakfast served each morning was traditional and homely too! What made our stay truly special was the warm and welcoming atmosphere created by Iheb and the staff. We arrived as guests but left feeling like friends. We were even befriended by the two adorable resident kittens, Sofia, the long-haired tabby, and Leena, the ginger kitten. Their presence added an extra touch of charm to our stay. The location of Riad Jibril was perfect, and the camel in front of the money exchange served as an excellent landmark. The riad was on the opposite alleyway, second door, making it easy to find. We especially enjoyed its proximity to Kasbah, near Zeitun Cafe, a favorite spot of ours to visit at night. The lantern-lit terrace at the cafe provided majestic views that made our evenings even more memorable.

Nous avons choisi ce Riad sur recommandation de notre fils qui a séjourné deux jours en novembre 23, malheureusement notre expérience était décevante à plusieurs niveau: 1- Aucune indication pour arriver à la bonne adresse, même pas sur la porte de la résidence, nous avons perdu beaucoup de temps pour retrouver le Riad sachant que nous avons nos bagages et que nous étions dans un état de fatigue extrême suite à un long voyage. 2- A notre arrivée vers 17h il n'y avait personne à la réception il a fallut attendre longtemps et téléphoner à plusieurs reprises pour trouver quelqu'un. 3- On nous a proposé une chambre au rez-de-chaussée qui ne peut être qu'un dépôt aménagé avec une fenêtre qui donne sur un salon extérieur commun, donc aucune intimité. On nous a refusé le changement de chambre sous prétexte que toutes les autres étaient occupées, il a fallu de longues discussions pour pouvoir avoir une autre chambre au premier étage qui n'était meilleure puisque sa fenêtre donne sur la chambre en face. 4- La propreté n'était pas au rendez-vous, les serviettes mouillées , la douche bouchée, des cafards qui circulent dans la salle de bain et dans la chambre. 5- Nous avons demandé un petit déjeuner la veille car nous prenons l'avion tôt le lendemain, on nous a donné un plateau avec quelques sous tasses de confitures de fromage de miel, une brique de jus déjà entamée, ce repas nous a conduit à la pharmacie de l'aéroport pour acheter un antidiarrhéique!

We visited for a week with family last week. When we arrived we were greeted by ihab and daoud the first thing they said was welcome please make this your home would you like anything? They showed us to the room. Breakfast is great and very fast Air conditioning worked fantastic so did the WiFi . The room was cleaned every single morning with fresh towels. The roof terrace at night is just amazing with comfy seating. Now the best bits for us was there staff working there were just so nice and was amazing with our children. They even went out to buy my little boy a birthday cake absolutely out this world. The Riad is located in a lovely busy street with bbqs cooking and tagines the smell is amazing. A fantastic shop selling everything next door and a 10 minute fantastic walk to the busy main square . We are going to book the same again next month because it was so relaxing and just like home to home. 10/10 keep up the amazing work to all the staff at Riad
