Riad Chorfa

Our first time in Morocco, and we couldn’t have found a better placed to stay. Good early communication from the owner with advice and potential trips. Booked airport shuttle through the Riad also. Room was full of character with many nice touches in the decor (see photos) There are plenty of places to relax around the Riad, particularly the roof garden which has amazing views across the city, and further to the Atlas Mountains. We booked a guide on the first morning (again through the Riad) which really helped us see the city in context, and took us to places we would never have found on our own. We took excursions to OurikaValley which included waterfall hike, a real Berber market, and a fabulous lunch. We also took a camel ride in the Agafay Desert, which was superb (again, booked through the Riad) The staff couldn’t have been more helpful. Location was a short walk to the Jemma al Fna, and to many attractions. We would come back anytime….

The Decor was charming The location was extremely central .at the same time extremely quite . The Staff was so friendly and helpful . Very clean Couldn't imagine a better home in Marrakech . highly recommended Chrystoph

Riad Chorfa is exceptional, not only because of its great location in the medina, or its beautiful bedrooms, relaxing courtyard, and spacious roof terrace, but because of the people. Special thanks to Hamid, Hamza, Khalid, and the amazing on-site chef, Rachida, who together made our stay in the wonderful city of Marrakesh truly magical. We can't wait to go back.

Spent a week at this beautiful Riad in July 2022 with sister and adult daughter. Our rooms were clean and very comfortable, our room had a hairdryer with diffuser, worth 5 stars just for that! Can’t praise the staff enough, they were welcoming, friendly, helpful and fun! We had a lovely breakfast each day, snacks and dinner were also served as requested! Abdu and Hamza were full of advice on where to eat and shop and booked a couple of day trips for us. Also has a chilled rooftop terrace for pre dinner drinks and a cool pool to dip into after a busy day. We will definitely be back to Marrakesh and wouldn’t consider staying anywhere else!

Booking experience with Lara and the communications/emails were fantastic. We were met at the airport and taken to the Riad, The Riad was perfect location for what we wanted, right in the Soukes/Madina. Check in was fine, the usual mint tea and biscuits.As travelling with my 18yr old daughter I pre booked a suite at 105euro per night , the biggest room they offered ( 2 beds in a large suite ) to give both privacy, Now DO NOT spend extra on an upgrade as they DO NOT have suites even though the claim to have, I think they just make up what the customer request, they put us in a double room with 1 x double bed, after a very polite request to the management and we explained we booked a suite, they suggested by the time we got back from our night out all will be sorted…. Oh no, they had just plonked a single bed 18” from the double bed. We spoke to other guests and peered in their rooms and oh yes not much difference in size and some were at 70euro per night. So book the cheapest and it’s pot luck what you get. After a chat we decided to just put up and shut up for the sake of 4 nights. First breakfast next morning was a disaster, we were given tea, 4 cold pancakes with preserve and offered a plain omelette if required , this was our only breakfast here, now I have stayed in many Riads in Marrakesh over the years and the breakfasts have ALWAYS been a lavish style buffet type breakfast, this wasn’t worth the money we were charged, we got far far better the next 3 mornings at a fraction of the cost. I just felt this establishment were only concerned about money as they increase the charge of everything so my advice is book your own taxis/excursions, meals outside of the riad. This Riad is very noisy so if you want a quiet nights sleep without motorbikes, doors banging etc then don’t book here. The water was hot but very slow and each time stopped mid shower so bit of an inconvenience. On a positive… Location great 👍 Riad clean & tidy 👍 2 staff members we met 👍👍

It has been a life long dream to visit Marakesh and stay in a colourful beautiful Riad and this was it. I can mot express how warm, beautiful, friendly and welcoming this place is. Yan, Cedric, Hamza and the amazing staff including Rashida 'the queen of the kitchen', Ibriham our kind hearted porter and Abdil hadi our wonderful guide. They made our stay magical, fun and beautifully humane. The riad is an artistic treat and glorious to stay in. I can not recommend the Chofra enough. If you go because of this review, say hello from me. El sueño de mi vida era visitar Marakesh y alojarme en un hermoso y colorido Riad, y éste lo fue. No puedo expresar lo cálido, hermoso, amable y acogedor que es este lugar. Yan, Cedric, Hamza y el increíble personal, incluyendo a Rashida "la reina de la cocina", Ibriham, nuestro amable portero, y Abdil hadi, nuestro maravilloso guía. Hicieron que nuestra estancia fuera mágica, divertida y maravillosamente humana. El riad es una delicia artística y una estancia gloriosa. No puedo recomendar la Chofra lo suficiente. Si vas por esta reseña, saluda de mi parte.

Me and my boyfriend stayed here for 2 Nights and it has been so nice. The staff is very friendly and keen to help at Any time. After a few hours it felt like We’re a Family. Turtles are walking around in the pool area and you can Feed them of you like. You get to know More about the staff in such a Short period of time which is very lovely. Especially Hamza is very nice and makes the Best Berber Whisky. Thank you so much- it has been an absolute pleasure.

The family-like atmosphere of Chorfa provides a calm oasis within the storm of Marrakech. Beautiful, exotic, warm and welcoming. They helped us to navigate this interesting and vibrant city like a native.
