The Red House

When we first pulled up at this hotel I thought it looked basic from the outside and it sits on a busy road in Marrakech. I had no idea what to expect and wondered if it was going to be as good as the reviews. I had my mind completely changed once we went inside and stayed there. This is a small hotel with a extremely clean, warm, small pool perfect for sunbathing after a hot morning visiting the souks (they are over the road and about a 10-15 walk away or a few minutes in a cab). For this place, it is the staff that make it utterly excel. I've never stayed anywhere where they are such friendly, obliging and genuinely nice people that cannot do enough to help you. It makes your trip.They gave us so much good advice for our short trip and went above and beyond to organise and to help with every single little detail. They seem to love their jobs and are great fun to be around and fluent in several languages which put us to shame. They are relaxed about dress code here which I was a bit worried about but needn't have. The room was so clean and there is bottled water to drink and a good bathroom, our room was huge with lots of satallite channels and a comfortable seating area with some fruit and treats given to us. The bed was also very clean and really big and comfortable and it was a cool and quiet room, so I couldn't fault it. There were French, German, American and English staying there but I noticed other people came to eat at the restaurant who weren't staying there from France and Italy. We ate dinner in the restaurant one night and cannot recommend this enough. We were tired the first night and thought we might as well try it but we were blown away by how good it was. Really fabulous cuisine and a very Morrocan feel about it with a lovely guy quietly singing and playing a sitar, with candles everywere. I would definitely eat there again and the desert was incredible. This hotel was a fraction of the cost of some of the bigger, fancier hotels but for a couple of nights, it was honestly perfect and I stay there again in a heartbeat.

Top location, top hotel, but above all top staff (specially Abdel), always available, very friendly and very focused on the details and on being nice and helpful for everyone. They make us feel like being at home. Top choice. To be chosen again on next visit to Marrakech.

This beautiful house was our base for 5 days and proved an excellent choice. The rooms are large, bright and equipped with a comfortable bed. Room servicing was excellent as was the attention we received from all the staff in the restaurant and reception. Abdel could not have been more helpful. His recommendations for a trip to the Atlas Mountains and a guide for a walking tour of the Medina were outstanding, as were his recommendations for restaurants to eat out. The restaurant at the Red House is a truly splendid room, ceramic tile art covering the walls, columns and floors. The food is excellent, with good menus for lunch and dinner. Although we didn’t use it, there is a clean pool in the garden and the option to eat in the garden or on the terrace is always an option. Would I recommend? Absolutely and without hesitation

We had an incredible lunch at The Red House. The food was delicious but what made our meal even better was Abdel. He made sure we had the best experience, his recommendations were spot on with what we were looking for in both drinks and food, and the staff / service was impeccable. We didn't have much in terms of plans for our trip and he gave provided us with some great recommendations. 10/10 would go back! Thank you, Abdel!

Very sophisticated but comfortable ambiance. The perfect atmosphere for enjoying a family dinner after a very busy days visiting Marrakech. Dishes traditional and tasteful. Restaurant staff very polite, professional and kind. If you visit Marrakech don’t miss an dinner at The Red

We enjoyed a fabulous Moroccan meal at this beautiful restaurant. A musician played to us throughout, all the restaurant staff were excellent and the decor was breathtakingly exquisite. Would highly recommend to anyone staying in Marrakesh.
