Description
The Riad Marhbabikoum is a small, lovingly run boutique riad in the historic medina of Marrakesh. Located in a quiet side street, yet only a few minutes' walk from the hustle and bustle of city life, this traditional guest house offers the perfect opportunity to experience the real Marrakesh in an intense, authentic and relaxed way.
Only about 150 metres from the Dar Si Saïd Museum and around 200 metres from the famous Jamaâ El Fna, the riad combines a central location with soothing tranquillity. Behind the historic walls, a different world opens up: a green courtyard, traditional architecture, warm hosts and a family atmosphere where guests feel welcome from the moment they arrive.
‘Welcome’ is taken literally here
‘Marhbabikoum’ means welcome, and the warm hosts mean this quite literally. The Riad Marhbabikoum is a place of warm hospitality, perfect for experiencing authentic life in Marrakesh with all your senses. The hosts take warm and attentive care of their guests, always striving to introduce them to the culture, way of life and magic of Marrakech in a personal and authentic way.
Staying at the riad: traditional, charming and comfortable
The Riad Marhbabikoum has only five individually designed rooms, furnished in classic Moroccan style. Tadelakt walls, stylish tiles, warm colours and traditional details give the rooms their authentic character, while modern amenities ensure comfort. There are two double rooms, one twin room, a spacious junior suite and a family room that can accommodate up to four people.
All rooms offer:
- Air conditioning
- En suite bathroom with stylish design
- Very good water pressure in the shower (particularly appreciated by guests)
- Clean, functional and cosy furnishings
- Only 5 rooms: personal & quiet
- Traditional Moroccan style with tadelakt walls
The twin room and the family room are located on the second floor and have their own terrace. The loving decoration, the tranquillity of the house and the well-kept ambience make the riad a place where you quickly feel at home.
Courtyard & roof terrace: oases of calm in the medina
The green courtyard forms the heart of the riad. Here, surrounded by plants and mosaics, you can enjoy breakfast, drink tea or simply relax. It is the ideal place to unwind after an eventful day and enjoy the warm hospitality. The roof terrace is also an inviting place to linger. From here, guests can enjoy the special atmosphere of the old town, watch the sun set over the rooftops of Marrakesh or round off the evening with a mint tea.
Cuisine: Moroccan cuisine with heart
The day at Riad Marhbabikoum begins with a hearty, typical Moroccan breakfast. Freshly prepared pancakes, homemade bread and regional delicacies ensure an enjoyable start to the day. On request, breakfast can also be served in your room. In addition, the riad offers traditional Moroccan dishes such as couscous, tagines or pastillas on request, lovingly prepared and authentic in taste. Here, cuisine is understood as part of the culture and celebrated with great warmth.
Lounges & atmosphere: arrive, relax, immerse yourself
In the evening, two cosy lounges invite you to relax. Equipped with satellite TV and free WiFi, they are ideal retreats after a day full of impressions. The family atmosphere, the tranquillity of the house and the attentive hosts ensure that guests feel well looked after at all times.
Location & surroundings: discover Marrakesh on foot
Thanks to its central location in the medina, many of the most important sights can be easily reached on foot. In just a few minutes, you can be standing in Jamaâ El Fna, immersing yourself in the souks or visiting historic palaces and museums.
Particularly worth seeing in the surrounding area:
- the lively souks of the medina with handicrafts, spices and textiles
- the Bahia Palace with its magnificent courtyards
- the Koutoubia Mosque, the city's landmark
- the Dar Si Saïd Museum with traditional Moroccan art
There is a taxi rank nearby. As the riad is located in the medina, it is not directly accessible by taxi, but on request the hotel will organise a pick-up service from the airport or collect you from the taxi rank, making your journey particularly relaxed.
What we particularly like:
- The quiet but central location in the medina
- The warm, authentic hosts
- The authentic Moroccan living experience
fincahotels tip:
Enjoy the sunset on the roof terrace with a glass of mint tea, a special moment that shows Marrakesh from its most peaceful side.
