This property is in walking distance of the medina and main square. It is clean and the staff is very friendly. The riad is very close to a mosque so you will hear the calls and it is a truly remarkable experience. The riad is alsi close to great local shops and restaurants.

Absolutely perfect.
Riad Bindoo was excellent. The Riyad is absolutely beautiful and picturesque. We have just had a 7 day stay and couldn't rate them highly enough. The service provided by Karim and Hisham was absolutely first class. Nothing was a problem. They were so helpful and knowledgeable too. The Riyad is located in a very central location, a ten min walk from the Jam el Fna, Koutoubia Mosque and the Souks. We saved a lot of money by walking everywhere. A major highlight for us was that there is a mosque literally a 30 second walk away, and a bigger mosque a 2 min walk away. We have two small children (5 and 1). They were both treated really well, and were well catered for. We would absolutely recommend Riyad Bindoo.

Amazing stay in Morocco. Karim was attentive and able to help with any request we had and ordered us food even when the kitchen was closed. It was a short 10-15 min walk to the Souks and main square. Breakfast was good and our room was even better. Would definitely stay again

I only wish that I could give more stars!!! Riad Bindoo, in our week of sojourning about the magical, mystical lands of Morocco was--without a doubt--a highlight of our trip. We flew into Casablanca and stayed in a lovely hotel that was walking distance from the places we most sincerely wanted to visit. It was perfectly acceptable, well beyond that, really. Only, after the amazing train ride through the desert to the mindblowing heart of Marrakech, the Riad Bindoo just blew away all our expectations for what not just staying, but living, in Morocco could be. We loved the building, the architecture, the room (with amazing furniture, lighting, etc), the "invigorating" pool, the roof, the breakfast (the omelettes were out of this world), and, especially, the conscientious, warm, kind, hospitable and, above all, helpful, staff. The Riad is central to so many, many places and activities in the Marrakech Medina--we loved strolling among the souks and, especially, wandering our way into the Jemaa el Fna to be courted (overwhelmingly) to unbelievable food and entertainment each night. We traveled with our two daughters (8 & 12) and we all love love loved the Riad Bindoo--Thank you for providing such a lovely oasis for the Downtown NYC family

Amazing Riad. From moment we arrived we felt welcome. Facilities fantastic. Lovely terrace to come and relax on after a day seeing the sights. Room that slept 4 people was great with plenty of room. I can’t recommend this riad more - pictures do not do it justice! FANTASTIC!!!

Beautifully exotic yet comfortable retreat
veryone was so very helpful and worked hard to make sure that we were comfortable, from arranging airport transfers, to setting up breakfast whenever and wherever we requested, and answering questions about the area (in English.) The decor was exotic and beautiful, and we appreciated the plunge pool after a hot day of wandering. The location was around the corner from a spot where cars are allowed and convenient for walking to the souks, but away from the crowds. We absolutely recommend Riad Bindoo!

Beautiful Riad- highly recommended.
The service at the riad was exceptional.Mohammed at the front desk welcomed us upon arrival, took my (very heavy) bags to the room and was lovely throughout. The manager Hisham was lovely, welcoming and showed us a great spot on the roof to watch the sunset. Meals on rooftop terrace were delicious with amazing views. FYI closest place to have cab drive you is across the way near mosque. Contact them ahead of time to get name of mosque (blanking on name)

Our stay at Riad bindoo was perfect. The Riad is beautiful and kept clean. The service was amazing. We had an early flight and the staff got up at 6am to make us food and they also helped us arrange an airport transfer. The location was perfect and very centralized- walkable to all the locations you want to see in Marrakech.

Beautiful Riad
I loved this Riad. Very clean, very pretty and close (5-7 minutes walk) to all the main attractions of the Medina. Super tasty breakfast served on the beautiful rooftop of the Riad. Rooms are spacious and the personnel is just incredible. All members of the staff speak perfect English, French and Spanish (have not tried any more languages with them but am sure they speak something else as well!). Will definitely come back.

The property is beautiful and the rooftop custom made breakfast a hit. Our room was unique with loft. The staff very professional and very helpful printing airline boarding passes... The old town feels unkept and wild with scooters speeding about. Shopping for deals was fun. I felt my children and I were always safe. I certainly would recommend the Riad Bindoo to my friends. Your taxi can’t drive to the front door so a local will assist and charge to show the way which is a one minute walk.

Amazingly beautiful Riad tucked away down side streets about 10 mins walk from the main square (Jemaa el-Fnaa). There is a quaint little front door and lovely little Reception area as you enter into this oasis of calm and tranquility. Our room (Benares Suite) had the most amazing double bed situated at the top of a spiral staircase and our two teenage boys were happy sleeping on the 2 single beds downstairs (which I think are usually sofas but are actually proper single beds!). We had dinner on the Riad’s rooftop on the first night (our anniversary!) for ease after a busy day - it was simply amazing! The views of Marrakesh as the sun set over the city, coupled with the superb food made for an unforgettable evening. Breakfast every morning (included) was always a feast of sweet-treats and tea/coffee/juice which was delicious and served on the sunny rooftop (or in a small dining area on ground floor if a little chilly outside) and always served with a smile. Riad Bindoo is an amazing experience not to be missed - a feast for the eyes as it is visually stunning, coupled with the friendly (and excellent English speaking!) staff made for a truly memorable 3 day anniversary/birthday weekend treat! THANK YOU!

Most incompetent Staff in the World
Worst hotel experience of my life.... They checked us in to the wrong room, then called a few hours later to inform us that we could no longer stay here despite our bags already being in the room. Turns out, they had cancelled our reservation and put us in someone else's room without checking. They then told us to go to another hotel but would not provide the address. We walked for 3 hours looking for it and eventually had to pay some kids to help us find it. Riad Bindoo said they were sending someone to meet us to help find it. We waited for over an hour, turns out, they sent the person to the wrong location with a similar name. When we arrived, they had delivered someone else's bags to our new hotel. They assured us they would bring our bags in 30-45 minutes. Two hours later, no bags. When they finally showed up, they informed us that they didn't mean to kick us out, and meant to call another group and we could have stayed the whole time. The other group booked a different room type as us, and we never got to stay in the room we booked. The level of disorganization and incompetence was astounding. A 5 year old could have done better - would never ever recommend.

Wonderful stay at this charming and beautiful Riad
This Riad and its staff made our experience in Marrakesh so memorable and so incredibly comfortable. The moment I walked in I knew that I'd be back and I am already trying to figure out when I can come back to Marrakesh and stay at this Riad again! Check in was smooth and welcoming. We were offered complementary mint tea, as custom in Morocco. All of the guidance and help we received from the staff was incredibly appreciated. From little things such as directions, to larger things such as the HUGE amount of help I received from the staff when one of the ATM machines ate my bank card, and even how the staff helped put together a cute birthday breakfast for my friend who was staying with me! It was one of the top most pleasant stays I've had while travelling anywhere in the world. The terrace was beautiful, so was the pool. In fact, every corner of the place was so picturesque! The breakfast was great, the wifi was a little spotty but not any less than anywhere else in Morocco. Big, beautiful bathrooms, beautiful decor in the rooms. AC worked perfectly, Housekeeping was done daily and done well. And the location was absolutely perfect- Just a 5 minute walk away from the Medina- perfect from taking a break from the chaos of the souks but also central and easy to travel to/from. This place was truly a peaceful and unique retreat and the staff were phenomenal.

Felt more than welcome from the moment of our arrival and were very well looked after by all the delightful staff. We had a lovely room; enjoyed relaxing on the roof terrace while sipping mint tea, and thoroughly enjoyed eating there, too. (We couldn't get enough of the delicious lamb tagine.) Bindoo is also well placed and an easy, short walk to the main square, souk and major visitor attractions. We had a fabulous stay. Thank you so much. Charlotte and Suzannah (UK)

A hidden gem in Marrakech
We really enjoyed our stay at Riad Bindoo in Marrakech. The staff was so incredibly friendly and helpful which made our stay even better. the decor is beautiful and breakfast on the terrace is beautiful. The breakfast changes every day but the two days we were there was just some bread, butter, jam, fruits, and fresh orange juice. The rooms were clean and comfortable and had a really nice atmosphere. Highly recommend this riad for your stay in Marrakech!

My stay at Riad Bindoo was amazing!!! I felt home away from home. The room was spacious clean and very well decorated, also very quiet, I was able to rest every night . The Riad is beautiful and the view from the terrace is amazing too. Perfect location, I was able to walk to the Médina every day for the 4 days I stayed. Mohamed and Karam were very polite and help me with my tickets reservations and answered all my questions. I highly recommend this hotel.
