Riad Dar Kenous – Exclusif – Free BreakFast

Riad Dar Kenous – Exclusif – Free BreakFast Overview

Look, I’ve stayed in plenty of riads in Marrakech, and Riad Dar Kenous honestly surprised me – in the best way. You know how some places look amazing online but then you walk in and it’s just… meh? This wasn’t one of those. The moment you step through that heavy wooden door (and trust me, you’ll need the address because finding it in the medina’s maze is half the adventure), you’re hit with this immediate sense of calm that’s pretty remarkable considering you’re literally in the heart of all the chaos.

The whole setup is classic riad – central courtyard with that gorgeous fountain that actually works, rooms arranged around it on different levels, and yeah, the traditional tiles and carved plasterwork you’d expect. But here’s what I really appreciated: they’ve managed to keep the authentic feel without making you suffer for it. The rooms are genuinely comfortable, not just Instagram-pretty, and the beds are actually decent quality – something you can’t always count on in these historic buildings. The breakfast situation is legit too, served in the courtyard when weather permits, and I mean proper Moroccan breakfast with fresh bread, local honey, and mint tea that doesn’t taste like it came from a box. They also had French pastries which, let’s be honest, hit the spot after a few days of tagines.

What really sold me though was how the staff handled the whole experience. They get that most guests are going to be completely overwhelmed by the medina (I mean, who isn’t?), so they actually take time to walk you through the neighborhood, point out landmarks so you can find your way back, and give you real recommendations – not just the tourist traps. The location puts you right in the thick of things but on one of the quieter side streets, so you’re not dealing with constant scooter horns at 6 AM. You can walk to Jemaa el-Fnaa in maybe ten minutes, hit the souks whenever you want, but still retreat to this peaceful little oasis when it all gets too much. And honestly? Sometimes it will get too much – that’s just Marrakech for you. The riad feels like a proper refuge, with thick walls that actually block out most of the street noise and that central courtyard design that creates this lovely cool microclimate even when it’s blazing hot outside. Is it perfect? Well, the WiFi can be spotty (though really, you’re in a centuries-old building in the medina), and some of the rooms are definitely better than others, so it’s worth asking about your options when you book. But for the price point and the experience, especially with breakfast included, it’s a solid choice that actually delivers on the whole “authentic Moroccan experience” promise without leaving you feeling like you need a vacation from your vacation.
