A beautiful riad with distinctive character in every room and public area. Meticulously decorated by the hosts with excellent updates to the property (to the extent that Moroccan construction complications makes possible). The riad is conveniently located in the Medinah (but not too far from one of the entry gates) such that tourist sites are easily accessed while keeping the noise of the Medinah away from the riad. Excellent and affordable dining nearby. As for most of the Medinah, while safe for tourists comings and goings feel somewhat sketchy and avoiding 'helpful' locals is difficult. The Medinah aesthetics can be gritty and a single woman might feel somewhat at risk (though probably not really). Riad Houdou is a terrific oasis from the hustle-bustle to return to and the staff are fully-committed to making a visit a pleasure!

It is one of the most special places I have ever stayed, made it even better by all the wonderful staff and hosts. I hope to come back one day and will recommend it to anyone coming to Marrakesh

My family had a lovely stay at Riad Houdou. The service was excellent, Abdel the manager was particularly helpful and had a wealth of tips for our family's trip in Marrakesh. The property is located 10-15min walk from the main square and it is an oasis of calm, with all the usual amenities (including free filtered water, kettle in the room). Would definitely stay again.

Absolutely loved my stay at Riad Hodou! Abdel and Abdella were amazing hosts! From the first day we arrived we were taken care of! We were provided with information about the vicinity, tips on how to get by and what to look out for. Breakfast was great. The Riad is beautifully decorated and it is not difficult to locate! Staying there really helped me enjoy my holiday in Marrakesh!

Riad Houdou is an excellent Riad to stay in if you want to experience the Medina first hand. The staff is excellent and the food is great. They are in walking distance to many of what you are looking to visit within the Medina (shopping, restaurants, etc...). The only knock is that everything is cash based, which they let you know up hand, but just make sure you plan accordingly. Even with this, I would still recommend staying here. Enjoy Marrakech (the Red City).

Family friendly and Beautiful hotel. the hotel that was very clean and chic and their behavior was excellent and they surprised us for our anniversary and gave us a luxurious suite and a private pool. The person who saw us (Didier) was very friendly and kind and taught us a lot about the map of Marrakech and the sights and customs and shopping in the markets. I strongly recommend it to friends. Delicious breakfast with a nice view. The location of the hotel is the best.

The Riad itself is amazing, wonderful architecure and decor. The staff were very helpful and accomodating. Can't find anything negative to say. If you find the Medina overwhelming this Hotel is well positioned as although it isn't far from the busy streets, you aren't directly on them so you won't be stepping directly out into the madness and there aren't any noise concerns.

Riad Houdou really was my palace for a week. I was treated like a VIP from being picked up at the airport to be dropped back again. Everyone was more than helpful, whether it was a very early breakfast (at 7am) when they usually start at 8.30am or the Riad tour when I arrived as well as an introduction to Marrakech the next morning, along with tips and tricks for tourists. I had dinner waiting on me on my first evening and was well organised enough to book it for a second evening when I knew I wouldn't be back from my trip to Essaouira until around 8.30pm. Finally, I don't want to say one part of my stay was better than any other, but it was remarkable how quiet the rooftop was when chilling by the pool. The same can be said for nighttime in bed but especially the two hours spent for the hammam and massage (something I recommend to everyone needing to make time for themselves). Shukran.

Exceptionally friendly and helpful owners and staff without being intrusive. Really useful advice on arrival about customs, where to go, how to be safe. Marrakesh is quite a culture shock for first timers until you get used to it but the teams help was great. Wish we had had in out first trip a few years ago Although the Riad Houdou isnt a restaurant, we would recommend eating there at least once. You need to book it before 11 though. Thoroughly recommend

Wow! What an amazing property and introduction to Morocco and Marrakech. I arranged for the airport transfer through the riad, and that was super convenient and affordable. The driver was waiting for us just outside the airport and dropped us off, and we were met by a guide who carried our luggage in a cart through the medina to the riad. The riad itself was beautiful. The main courtyard full of roses. We arranged for dinner to be provided the night we arrived. It may have been the best meal I have ever eaten. Incredible greeting mint tea and pastries, when we arrived, and then the dinner, a fantastic starter, wonderfully delicious tagine, and an amazing dessert. We had early departures and they arranged for a breakfast to go for us one day and an early breakfast the other. The location was perfect for us. The rooftop terrace was a beautiful setting for breakfast or an evening glass of wine with olives. The service was amazing.
