Riad Dar Fatouma

Riad Dar Fatouma in Marrakech is a traditional Moroccan riad located in the Kasbah area, about a 10-20 minute walk from the main square and popular attractions. It offers an authentic, modest Moroccan experience rather than luxury accommodation. The riad is known for cleanliness and quietness with a secure large metal gate, and rooms that are generally described as clean and comfortable, though sometimes small depending on the configuration.

The staff, especially hosts like Mohamed and Iheb, receive high praise for their friendliness, hospitality, and helpfulness in arranging tours and providing local recommendations. The riad includes amenities such as a rooftop terrace offering city views and a restaurant serving regional dishes and traditional breakfasts. Reviews mention basic but decent breakfast options and emphasize the authentic local atmosphere.

Some common downsides noted in reviews include modest room sizes, basic bathrooms, occasional noise typical of traditional riads, and some issues with the quality of toiletries or desert tours arranged through the riad. Overall, it is recommended for travelers seeking a genuine Moroccan stay with attentive service at a reasonable price, rather than a luxury hotel experience.
