This was a short break from sweltering hezt of Marrakech.When I booked the ryad I wawnt looking for luxury but a place to exhale. The ryad just reopened during to the Covid virus so the staff was a bit overwhelmed: cleaning lady was nowhere to be seen and toileteries were missing from the bathroom so e had to askOn a more positive note,the double room was clean, the bed comfy,hot water available and A /C worked fineThe pool is an added value espevizlly when temp hovered around 39The staff especially,Mohamed the receptionist ,was nive and very accomodating.The ryad is located on farm so it s lush and green with plenty of olive,orange and pomegranate treesFor the price we paid it was worth it

Absolutely perfect. I could not fault this place at all. Traditional and authentic. The hospitality is first class. Some larger hotel chains could learn a lot from the managers and staff at this place. I was a little reticent about goung to Marrakech city after reading some of the reviews, yes you do get stopped frequently but a polite shake of the head and a smile does wonders. My first time ever out of Europe and I would 100% recommend the Riad Qodwa. Thank you for looking after us so well

I was here in October 2016 but I did not have Tripadvisor then. I was with my friend and we had a lovely stay!Such nice staff, and everyone was so nice to us and made suggestions with what we can do in the city center that day, the hotel manager always helped us with prices and gave us a map and explained a lot about the city. We were sitting with him some evenings and drank tea. And we did not feel uncomfortable at all any Second in the hotel, even as two young women in a hotel with mainly male staff. The first night we did sleep at the other house (there are 3 houses) which was not so nice, but they were fully booked and in the next morning we could even chose our room. It was beautiful and huge! It is not a classic hotel, but a huge house that was converted into a hotel. But I liked the concept, since it was a small hotel with >20 rooms and the staff knew all their guests. Breakfast was very good, every day we got a different Moroccan breakfast specialty. Free shuttle to the city center 4x a day, we always spend the morning and afternoon at the pool and went to the city centre for late afternoon and evening. The shuttle driver also helped us to get a taxi in the city center and told the taxi driver to make us a good price would stay there again!

good for family holiday,and people looking for relaxation and calmness.not recommended for people looking for night out .why too far from marrakech ....

On reading the mixed reviews I started to doubt if we had booked the right place.Even more so when on arriving on a dark rainy night the taxi driver turned down a dark unlit track.It was the stuff of holiday nightmares you read about.....but then......Welcome welcome welcome. The hosts are simply wonderful. The cook had gone by the time we arrived but no problem, two omelettes were cooked and served with mint tea.Our room was a little quirky but nice. At this point I will say if you're after 5* marriott type rooms then go into the city and pay the extra. Don't complain if a rural riad is more basic than you hoped.For us though the tranquility and beauty of the place with views of snow capped atlas mountains was great.Unfortunately late October saw a lot of rain but we got a couple of relaxing days by the pool in the sunshine and a couple of days exploring the city.The hotel lays on a free bus. Sometimes its a little late but its FREE so very much appreciated and handy.Breakfast is a little repetitive but there's enough choice on the dinner menu and the chicken tagine is just fantastic.We were offered the change to rooms when here to one with a roof terrace. They even put a fridge in so we could chill the wine we bought in the supermarket. To all the staff here, we can only say thank you for your friendliness, help and welcome.

My wife and I stayed at Riad Qodwa for a week (22-29 December). Situated about 20 minutes' drive from Jemaa El Fna Place, this oasis of peace and calm has a huge courtyard with a large, well-maintained swimming pool in the middle. Orange, citrus, pomegranate, olive and rosemary trees adorn the place. Beautiful peacocks roam freely during the day. Moush, the resident kitty is so cute!We felt really pampered by the staff of Riad Qodwa. Khalid, the manager, will pull all the stops to cater to the needs of the residents. He even got us some scrumptious home-made harissa which we took back to London. Abdussamad, the waiter, always had a smile on his face. Hamide, another waiter, was so helpful. Shenaz and I LOVE the freshly-squeezed orange juice. DIVINE! The traditional Moroccan dishes on the menu were scrumptious, too.Riad Qodwa always provides a free shuttle service to and from Marrakech city centre twice a day by Yusuf, the driver. All trips can be arranged with Khalid. The trip to Ourika Valley has to be our most memorable trip. Seeing is believing! Thank you, Riad Qodwa! We miss you guys and will certainly return.

I spent 7 nights in Riad Qodwa and enjoyed my stay completeley. Very beautiful garden area with a nice swimmingpool - a quiet and peaceful location with a beautiful view on the atlas mountains. The whole staff is very friendly, helpful and competent. The Riad is clean and tidy. The outdoor area offers plenty of room to sit comfortable and quiet. Perfect for me to combine work with holiday. There is also a free shuttle service provided by the Riad to Marrakech. Good price performance ratio.I will certainly come back!

When we arrived at the hotel we were given a lovely welcome by 2 men called Khalid and Hassan (not sure how to spell the names) and throughout our time spent here they were so helpful and the nicest people to be around. The hotel was stunning, we stayed in the suite which was really big and was cleaned everyday. The 2 men were so helpful despite we were English and not many people spoke that language there but they seemed to understand us and they helped us out the best they could which I really appreciated. On our second day we were going into Marrakech and Khalid swapped our notes into coins and smaller notes for pictures with monkeys and snakes and warned us what it was going to be like and what to do and what not to do which was so helpful as we would have had no idea if he wouldn’t have said anything. On our 4th day we went camel riding and again through the hotel those lovely men booked it for us and told us what time the taxi would pick us up and told us about it and we got advised to do it at sunset and we did and was the best experience of the holiday. The next day I didn’t feel well I think I had the Moroccan stomach bug and I had heat stroke and I was in the room all day because I couldn’t get out of bed and Hassan kept checking on me seeing if I was alright and was asking my family if I was alright as well and then he knocked on the door and gave me this special tea that helps you get better which was really nice of him and it actually helped so if it wasn’t for him I don’t think I would have been well on my last day so thank you. On our last day we went into Marrakech and again the men were lovely with organising the taxis to come and pick us up and were so helpful. Overall I have loved my stay here one of the best holidays I have been in and the hotel was amazing the food is really nice and the staff were so helpful and caring towards us. Thank you for making it the best stay for me and my family and I would highly recommend this hotel for anyone because we loved it!
