"Wonderful stay at Free People Riad & Spa. The riad is beautiful, elegant, and full of character, while still feeling intimate and cosy. The staff were all incredibly kind, welcoming, and helpful, always happy to assist with taxis or anything else we needed. It is tucked away in a quiet alley at the top of the medina, but still just a short walk to the markets and main square. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Marrakesh."

"Beautiful quiet riad off the busy areas. Hosts and staff were lovely and very helpful, including meeting us where the taxi could drop us and walking us to the riad, and helping us carry luggage when we left (even if we didn't need it!). Location can be a bit hard to find without guide so accept the help on arrival. Also be aware in Marrakesh some walkways in the medina near the square are closed at night so know your routes. In the riad one feels constantly pampered. Tea and nibbles appeared...
