Reviews of Hotel Riad Qodwa

We stayed at Riad Qodwa for 5 nights, visiting from the UK. It’s about 35 mins from Marrakech so you need to rely upon their shuttle service which runs twice daily and if you want a ride outside of this time then you’ll pay, which was absolutely no problem as we didn’t expect free transport when we booked something out of the way. The driver Mo Mo was a great guy and really made the effort to communicate with excursion organisers to co-ordinate our transport! The food was really tasty, we had dinner a few times during the week. Breakfast is pretty basic but is enough and you eat as much as you like The gardens are lovely, there are a lot of grounds which are beautifully kept and the peacocks are lovely (sleeping on the trees at night). There are lots of kittens too, really friendly and love a cuddle which was cute! We stayed in feb, there weren’t many guests but it was great as we could relax. The room was pretty basic but served its purpose. If you’re expecting a modern hotel it’s not the place for you, it’s a traditionally styled Moroccan guest house, it’s got a lot of character. The reviews I’ve read are pretty harsh, yes it isn’t a super modern high end hotel, but it’s a quaint and well kept guest house and we really enjoyed it. We would definitely stay again if we returned, it was relaxing, clean, the staff were lovely and they had a WhatsApp number which was helpful when I wanted advice and help. Thank you for a lovely stay!
