Besides the charm and welcoming interior of Riad Cherrata with its colourful throw cusions and mini dipping pool, its real draw is the meticulous hospitality of its French owner Valerie. As first-timers to Marrakech, one can be easily bewildered and overwhlemed by this cacophonic, shining city, so having someone to kindly take you by the hand can be truly comforting.... More

To be honest, I thought some of the previous reviews had to be fake, as the first few sentences of many of them are pretty similar. But I was dead wrong--Riad Cherrata was fantastic and Valerie was awesome. She hosted my wife and I for two nights and did everything she could to make our stay and experience at comfortable... More

We stayed in the Sabra suite which was beautiful and, like the whole Riad spotlessly clean. The Riad is definitely a haven of beauty and calm in the midst of the chaos of the Medina! For convenience it would be hard to beat, the famous "square" and the souks are just a few minutes away on foot, however, as mentioned... More

... this is simply an amazing place to stay in Marrakech. Already a wonderful city, it was improved no end by Valerie's warm and attentive hospitality; knowledge of the city including hand drawn maps and recommendations; delicious, homemade breakfasts and a calm and cool riad in the midst of the bustle of the medina. We cannot thank Valerie and her... More

Riad Cherrata is a haven of calm in the medina. Valerie was so hospitable and helpful, as others have said she spent time drawing us maps, walking us to a nearby restaurant on the first night, booking a hammam and massage for us etc. We also had an evening meal in the Riad which was the best meal we had...

We have never before experienced such great service and attention to detail anywhere in the world. We were so surprised the place was only a 3.5 star! Valerie (the owner) did everything she could to help make our stay comfortable, plus much more. We definitively recommend Riad Cherrata to anybody planning to visit Marrakech.

I'd recommend staying at the wonderful Riad Cherrata if you're visiting Marrakech. Valerie, who runs the Riad greeted us with mint tea and pastries before taking the time to explain where all the sights are on a map. She then walked us to a nearby restaurant as it was late when we arrived and explained to the owner we would... More

My wife and I stayed at Riad Cherrata over the Easter Week and as most other guests, we had the most unbelievable time! It needs repeating, Valerie is a host like no other! Warm, knowledgeable and always willing to help. Riad Cherrata is truly like a home-away-from-home. The entire building is spotless, with beautifully simple bedrooms and bathrooms. Located just...

We had a wonderful 5 night stay at Riad Cherrata in March 2013. We chose it because of the fab reviews and they weren't wrong! Valerie is a wonderful host and she really does everything in her power to welcome you and help from the minute you arrive. The Riad is beautifully furnished and kept spotlessly clean, linen changed every... More
