Pros +
- The staff were fantastic and the location was great too.
- Wonderful breakfast on the terrace, the room had a little humidity problems, but since the building is historical we did not expect it to be as a brand new lodging. The courtesy of the personal was impeccable!Wonderful experience in hammam booked by the personal in a nearby hotel.Nice view from the terrace.
- Mustafa made my 3-night stay perfect. He securely stored my luggage during my Sahara tour, was flexible with breakfast times, and recommended safe transportation services.Location is EXCELLENT - walking distance to Majorelle Garden and mosques, with beautiful nearby souks that are less crowded than Jemaa el-Fnaa area.Stayed in both Annex (1 night) and main riad (2 nights) - both were spotless! I worried a traditional riad might not be modern, but the facilities were perfect with great showers. The rooftop terrace is beautiful.This experience convinced me to always choose riads in Morocco. 10/10 would stay again! ?
Cons -
- The arranged pick-up from the airport didn't work, due to heavy traffic in town: after one hour waiting we gave up and took a taxi (that turned out to be fast and cheaper)... the glitch was quickly forgotten thanks to the professional and caring help of Mustafa (who pampered us and was available basically 24/7 ?)
- Weak Wifi, bathroom not that clean.
- Everything was perfect, except I would book my own tours. Seems to be better to go with trip advisor

Location, services, terrace are all great.
Weak Wifi, bathroom not that clean.
The location was perfect! Inside the Medina, yet quiet

Good location for access to both the new & old town.Great breakfast included.Had a wonderful dinner one evening.
The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was great, we were able to enjoy it on the roof terrace some mornings.The room was cozy but very clean and with good air con. The location of the road was good and there were plenty of shops and food places nearby.*Not related to the Riad* - The hammam Les Bains d'Azahara located at the entrance to the street of the Riad is definitely worth a visit.
If you're looking for a peaceful and authentic experience in the heart of Marrakech, Riad Bab Tilila is a fantastic choice. This charming riad offers a perfect blend of traditional Moroccan architecture and warm hospitality, making you feel at home from the moment you arrive.The rooms are beautifully decorated with local touches—colorful tiles, intricate woodwork, and comfortable furnishings. Each room is immaculately clean, cozy, and quiet, providing a restful escape after a busy day exploring the medina. Air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and a private bathroom are available, making the stay very comfortable.One of the highlights of Riad Bab Tilila is the rooftop terrace. It's a peaceful oasis where you can enjoy breakfast in the morning sun or relax with mint tea in the evening while admiring the city views. The breakfast itself is delicious, featuring fresh pastries, fruits, coffee, and traditional Moroccan specialties.The service is exceptional. The staff is incredibly friendly, attentive, and ready to help with anything—from arranging airport transfers to suggesting hidden gems around Marrakech. Their genuine care for guests really sets this riad apart.Location-wise, Riad Bab Tilila is ideal. It's within walking distance to major attractions like Jemaa el-Fnaa Square, Koutoubia Mosque, and the souks, yet it’s tucked away just enough to offer a quiet, restful atmosphere.
Lots of old world charm, had a ground floor room which was excellent as we are an older age bracket, fabulous location, good was exceptional, ate dinner there twice which was better than anywhere we ate at outside the riad. Mustafa was fantastic, attentive, also the female staff member who cleaned the rooms and cooked the amazing food was so lovely, so much attention to service, even our breakfast table was strewn with rose petals
All fabulous
Very nice and clean, excellent staff, very helpful. We had great breakfasts. Great location.
Rooms were very small and the bed was too hard.
Good location, great breakfast. Yazid was extremely helpful and kind. He helped us with all of our needs. Room was clean and met our expectations. I’d recommend Riad Bab Tilila for a stay in Marrakech.
Really nice Riad. Very familiar. Especially at the start you will get a warm welcome with nuts and tea. The rooms are clean. The bed was cozy. You can have breakfast on the rooftop. Especially Mustafa is always there and super friendly. He can help you out in every problem you can imagine.
The place is not from the city centre which was nice. The breakfast was excellent. The host welcomed us with sweets and tea which was a kind gesture.
The bed frame felt like it was about to collapse. The water in the bathroom was too salty so I had to skip bath. The wifi was a bit too slow probably because I was in the top floor room.
Hey there! I don't usually leave a lot of reviews but this time, it's really a must. ?First time in Marrakech for us.When we arrived at the Riad from the airport we were greeted by Mustafa, who is an excellent with great hot mint tea, fresh sweets and a warm smile. Little did we know that this was only the beginning of something great.We stayed at Riad Bab Tilila for about 3 days and we really felt like we have a family here. A home dressed as a Riad that radiated that true feeling and vibes of Marrakech and Morocco. Great nice rooms, very hot water all the time, good WiFi (I used it to work at night on my notebook), birds beautifully chirping in the morning, EXCELLENT daily breakfast served just in time, good terrace views at night and in the morning, and a great show of colours (check my attached photos)The Riad is very close to the souks, the centre of the Medina.Thank you, dear Mustafa, for taking good care of us and for being an excellent host. This is a MUST stay if you want THE true Marrakech and moroccan experience.
There was nothing not to like.
A great find 10 minutes walk from the main square. The staff were fantastic, Mariame in communication before we arrived and organising all the trips we requested. Mustafa was a boon, attentive and funny. We ate dinner in the riad a few times and the food was super, much better than the restaurants we tried. Breakfast was great and everything was very healthy. Great value for money and would highly recommend.
The only niggle would be that a drawer ot two in the room would have been helpful.
Mustafa is the heart of this place. From the moment we stepped in and were greeted with tea and snacks - to the moment he went out with us to get us a taxi to the train station... he made our stay in this riad so great. He told us where it's worth going, gave us a map, booked us a hammam, set up a dinner... honestly nothing was too much for him. He was so helpful and just a nice person to talk to! The riad was nice, small but comfy and in a great location, close to a common pick up place for excursions. Nice places to eat nearby too. The room had all you might need, including a big bottle of water which we did not get in another (more expensive!) riad - small thing but makes a difference in my opinion. Breakfast was massive with a lot to choose from and was also vegeterian friendly, really tasty and was flexible for when we wanted to eat as well. Also Mustafa speaks many languages so this is a massive bonus to guests.
The room was a bit small and dark but it was fine for a couple!
Location - great!Breakfast - OK.Mariam (owner) - nice, competent, helpful in booking trips; offers transport to and from the airport at a good price.Mustafa - friendly towards guests, open in contacts and helpful in every matter (like a real concierge).
The owner was very helpful and kind, the place looks very authentic, the room was clean, the welcoming was nice. Also, the breakfast was good and tasty.If you travel by car, do NOT put the hotel's location on the map, the traffic is insane and the Maps will guide you through the madness of Marrakesh. Instead, put "Parking Voitures", it's a paid parking, safe, cheap, max. 5' walking distance from the hotel.
I don't know if all the rooms are like this, taking into account that it's an authentic hotel, but remember that not all the rooms have windows and it can be dark all the time. We stayed for 1 night and for us it was ok.
The riad is beautiful. It was super clean and the rooms were always tidy, thanks to the kind cleaning lady who also prepared for us the best tagine we've had in Morocco (you should totally have a dinner there during your stay). The beds are firm and comfortable. The location is handy - not in the middle of the chaos but not far from it.Mme. Merieme - the manager/owner - was very kind, and always accomodating and helpful.Ultimately though, Mustafa was the difference in making this trip amazing. He does everything he can to make everyone's stay as smooth as possible (including for our little three year old girl) . He's very kind, funny, witty (and knows about 8 languages!) - take the time to know him if you can, it will enrich your trip.
The location of the riad is perfect. While it is located in the medina, the sounds of the medina’s activities does not reach your room. What’s even better is that a taxi drops you off right to the lane of the riad.Coming to my stay, I spent 3 nights at Riad Bab Tilila and I had a very comfortable time. The rooms are tidy, they are cleaned everyday and there is adequate hot water and heating in the room for the cold winter days that I spent there.The best part of my stay was Marieme and her riad manager Mustafa. The both of the were very mindful of my needs. Marieme helped me navigate through the different requirements I had in the medina and may I say, she really knows her way inside the medina. Infact, when she learned that I really liked the orange blossom fragrance, she even gifted me a bottle of orange blossom oil along with a diffuser. It only goes to show that her hospitality went beyond the stay. Same goes for Mustafa. When he told me that he would be available to help with anything even at night, he meant it. He made sure I had everything to provide me with a comfortable stay and was always eager to help. Always. Infact, the day I was checking out, he came along with me and waited until he got me a taxi. I left Marrakech with a huge smile on my face thanks to the kind heartedness showered by both, Marieme and Mustafa :)
I stayed in the standard double room. The room and bathroom can be a bit small but it’s not a deal breaker for me
