Riad Euphorbe

Riad Euphorbe Overview

First Impressions

Walking through the narrow alleyways of the medina to find Riad Euphorbe feels like a treasure hunt — and honestly, that’s half the charm. This four-star riad sits tucked away on Derb Lhadada in the Ben Saleh neighborhood, which means you’re getting the authentic medina experience without the tourist chaos of Jemaa el-Fnaa. The entrance is understated, but once you step inside, you realize you’ve found something special. The traditional courtyard design immediately transports you from the bustling streets into this peaceful oasis.

Location & Neighborhood

The location is actually perfect if you want to feel like you’re living in the real Marrakech rather than just visiting it. Ben Saleh is one of those neighborhoods where locals still outnumber tourists, so you’ll hear the call to prayer echoing authentically and catch glimpses of daily Moroccan life. It’s about a 10-minute walk to the main square, which sounds far but trust me — you’ll appreciate having a quiet retreat to return to. The narrow streets can be tricky with luggage, but the staff will meet you at accessible points if needed.

The Room Experience

I have to say, the beds here are genuinely comfortable — not just “good for Morocco” comfortable, but actually great sleep quality. Each room feels like stepping into a Moroccan design magazine, with traditional tadelakt walls and beautiful tile work that’s clearly been done by skilled artisans. The bathrooms blend modern functionality with traditional aesthetics really well. You know what impressed me most? The attention to detail in the textiles and furnishings — everything feels authentic rather than touristy.

Daily Rhythms

Mornings start with continental breakfast served in the central courtyard, and there’s something magical about sipping mint tea while listening to the city wake up around you. The rooftop terrace becomes the perfect spot for evening relaxation — you can actually see the Atlas Mountains on clear days, which is pretty incredible. The staff strikes that perfect balance of being helpful without hovering, and they genuinely seem to enjoy sharing local recommendations. I mean, they pointed me toward a tiny bakery nearby that I never would have discovered otherwise.

Why Guests Love It

What really sets this place apart is how it manages to feel both intimate and spacious at the same time. The traditional riad architecture creates these wonderful moments of discovery — hidden nooks, beautiful archways, and that sense of being in your own private world. Couples especially seem to love it here, and I can see why — there’s something inherently romantic about the whole setup. The 9.4 rating honestly makes sense when you experience how everything just works seamlessly, from the peaceful atmosphere to the thoughtful service touches that make you feel genuinely welcomed rather than just accommodated.
