Overall it was an excellent stay. We loved the style of the hotel. We loved how quiet it was even though it’s in heart of medina, step away from souks. Staffs were amazing, always smiling and very helpful. Loved the selection of breakfast. GISLANE was very sweet and she made sure we were looked after. it was very clean, cosy, looked very very good and it’s a very safe accomodation. You can’t enter the Riad yourself, you have to ring the reception and they will come to open the door for you. doesn’t matter what time you arrive..

Staff of riad were very friendly and provided a good service and provided help with airport lifts, places to visit and guidance on getting around. Location is hidden away but nice and quiet compared to rest of area. Rooms nice and spacious clean and bed super comfy and the sun terrace is lovely to relax on. Would visit again.

Nice quiet location, but exceedingly hard to find. Staff communication skills were poor even in French and we had a lot of problematic communication issues. We had dinner once in the riad and found it the least remarkable meal of the trip at double the cost. We asked for beverages with our meal and the server disappeared for 20 mins to go buy them. Old fixtures and poor security, and a general inflexibility made me regret the choice

This was good value for a clean, well located hotel. Friendly, helpful staff. Delicious breakfast. Lovely roof terrace. Recommended. My only bugbear was that I didn't get a response to a question I asked when I first booked.

Not the right place for foreigners
The riad is beautiful. However, the pool was empty with no night lights, that makes the place more beautiful at night. The 2 men in charge of checking and breakfast had no language skills. They spoke only moroccan and had no experience or didn’t look professional. It was cold outside when having breakfast and they have no outdoor heaters. Each time we came back in during the day or at night, nobody opened the door. We waited 45 minutes to have someone open the door and it was another customer tired of hearing the door bell. Very bad neighborhood too.

Okay hotel in a not so okay area. Too many local “guides” trying to take money off you. Use google maps when you get off the taxi and its a 2 min walk. One guide was really forceful and started following us, then he told us he wouldn’t charge and changed his mind when we got there. Hassan and Abdul Wahid were nice and friendly and helped to book excursions for us, but they obviously have some ‘agreement’ with the providers which was apparent. Riad was nice and clean and has only 4/5 rooms in it. Pool was out of order, but was actually just a large sized pond. Not able to swim in there at all. Looking at 200dirhams to swim at other places. Breakfast is very mediocre, tea, bread, yoghurt, juice and jam. No refills and so had to go out and eat. Overall Morocco was a great place to visit, everyone is trying to take money off you so be very careful and always haggle!

The property is very hard to be found...beware of the man helping you find and then demanding very large sum of money. I did feel very unsafe. The receptionist boy was very good and willing to assist but that is where the good things finish. The room was dirty, the sheets were not even changed from the previous guests...We have ordered dinner on the first night and the portions were very small and the meal wasn't good. Breakfast was not good either - 3 different jams, pastry and butter. The pastry (only 1 per person) was not eatable (very hard, probably staying out for a week). I wouldn't recommend the place at all, don't get mislead by the pictures on the website.

Great riad in the central medina
We arrived late on a Monday evening when unfortunately there were no English speaking staff on site. However the porter was very patient and made a great effort to speak simple French to me to explain everything. There was a slight issue with us being put in the wrong room, but they quickly fixed that after the second day. The breakfast was really great, and we had 2 meals there during our stay that were both delicious! We also got a massage - a bit expensive but very enjoyable. Unfortunately the Hammam wasn’t available. A slight pain point was that the website wasn’t accurate - pricings seemed wrong, and it made the language barrier a little trickier when trying to book/order things. The team were so wonderful and accommodating, and really made us feel welcome in Marrakech. We look forward to returning to them!

Totally unreliable. Don't book
Arrived late after checked in luggage didn't arrive at airport and found that they are had sold my room. No offer of tea or water, just told to wait 10 minutes to be transferred to another hotel. 90 minutes later and after begging for water we were sent to a cheaper hotel further away from the center. I would avoid this hotel if you can.

Hard to find this Riad hidden in surrounding buildings. Not in a good area. Far away from main roads. Taxi can't go near Riad because of narrow road. Air condition didn't work in my room so I couldn't sleep. Staff is friendly.

You're charged in euro not dirhams!
We booked this riad fairly cheaply, 7nights for 90£ but didn't stay here that many nights. Of the 7 nights booked, spent only 4 nights here, 2nights at arrival and 2 prior departure. We were the only 2 people there using 1 of their 5 rooms. It was a bit too quiet with only a cleaner there during the morning, and 1 of 2 desk staff during the day on shifts. Pros - clean without any bugs. Quiet location. Good hot and cold water supply. I peaked in to the other rooms and noticed all toilets looked new. Comfy beds. The cons - it's located in the Medina which if you're coming from the square, it's through the maze like market place. Some people may like the idea of this, but it's not a great experience being pestered by teens trying to guide you all over the place to get you to the riad or through the market and then asking for money even after you turned their help down. You get this after every few corners you turned. I was lucky to have an offline sat nav app that gave walking directions through the madina, without this, I think I would have just lived at a hotel by the square and not the madina. The breakfast is just tea/coffee, stale bread, juice and jams. One of the mornings we just requested coffee and juice, but only coffee was waiting for us without the milk or juice. The 3 course dinner available to request during breakfast is very pricey at 30 euros, yes euros, the hotel charges in euro instead of dirhams. No snack bar

a little past it's prime
When we arrived we were told we would have to pay 10 times the amount of tax listed on the website. The website lists 3 MAD per day, but it's supposed to be 3 EUR. We were prepared for this as it's what we paid at other riads in Marrakech, but when we asked who would fix it so other guests wouldn't feel ripped off, we were told by the front desk person that it wasn't his problem. He was the only person we actually saw at the hotel for our 2 night stay, I think it was empty. We were looking forward to the plunge pool, but it was as empty as the rest of the hotel, and we were told it was broken. Overall this riad is a little past it's prime, but worth it if you can get a good deal.

We booked Riad Dar Foundouk originally, but upon our airport pick-up, were taken to Palais Tinmel instead, because the manager had made an over booking. We were disappointed that we were only told on the spot that our accommodation was changed for us and without our consent, but at least we had somewhere to sleep.

Mi estancia en el Riad Foundouk fue simplemente increíble. Desde el momento en que llegamos, nos recibieron con una cálida hospitalidad que hizo que nos sintiéramos como en casa. Las habitaciones eran hermosas y cómodas. El personal fue extremadamente amable y atento, siempre dispuesto a ayudarnos con recomendaciones sobre qué visitar y dónde comer. Recomendo el Riad Foundouk y seguro que volvere.
