Having booked flights to Marrakech, I was then tasked with finding somewhere to stay that was good quality but also on a budget. I wanted to stay in a Riad, but with so many options I spent countless hours trying to find a perfect balance of cost, culture and quality. I found it in Riad Khabia. Staying in central Marrakech (Medina), you have to expect that it’s not going to be the most picturesque of areas to walk through. The Riad is located just off a courtyard. At first, you may wander through the area wondering what you’ve booked, but the same can be said for anywhere in this area. As soon as you get inside the Riad, you are welcomed by warm and friendly staff and an amazing, traditional Moroccan building. We were given a tea and some cake and Rachid talked to us about the local area, and gave recommendations for restaurants and things to do. The hotel does offer the option to book tours however there was no pressure, which was nice. We booked a double, superior room, which was amazing. It was so welcoming, clean and classically decorated – it was just what I wanted from a visit to Marrakech. Towels and shampoo/shower gel are provided. You are also given a kettle, cups and tea/coffee. Breakfast is served between 8 and 11 each morning. As there are only 7 rooms in total, it is not a buffet style breakfast. Instead, they bring out everything fresh for you, usually within about 10 minutes of you sitting at a table. Each morning, you’re brought both orange juice and coffee (I asked for tea and they brought this for me), some form of freshly cooked egg, yoghurt, bread, condiments, fruit and a bakery item (pain au chocolat, cake etc). It’s such a nice touch that everything is brought out fresh. On the last night we had a massage at the hotel, which was 80 Euros for two people. This was able to be booked with only a couple of hours’ notice and was lovely after a few days walking around Marrakech. We didn’t use the pool – it was clean but cold. However we didn’t book the hotel to use the pool, so that didn’t bother us. We did make use of the roof terrace one evening. We also paid a small fee for some of our clothes to be washed as we travelled very light to avoid luggage costs on the flight – these were ready the same day. If I ever go back to Marrakech, I will certainly stay here again. Thank you to all the staff for making our stay so pleasant!
