The Marrakech medina counts hundreds of riads. Here, in full transparency, is what sets Riad Davina apart: family hospitality, an authentic location, and an 8.8/10 rating based on 520 traveller reviews on Booking.com.
An authentic immersion in Bab Ghmat
Riad Davina sits in the popular Booskri neighbourhood, known as Bab Ghmat, right in the heart of Marrakech's medina — away from the busiest tourist trails. In the alley outside, shopkeepers and residents go about their daily lives: a genuine change of scenery, a real immersion in authentic Marrakchi life. The contrast with the riad's interior is all the more striking: the moment you step through the door, calm takes over in a traditional courtyard, with its zellige fountain, orange tree and small pool.
Family hospitality, not an anonymous hotel
There's no impersonal front desk here: Mohssine, Hayat and Abde welcome you with personal attention. Mohssine advises travellers on places to visit and good addresses, Hayat looks after the rooms and prepares pancakes and omelettes for breakfast, and Abde is on duty through the night and opens the door at any hour. These are the details our guests mention most often in their reviews.
Comfort at the heart of tradition
Riad Davina offers 6 rooms with traditional Moroccan architecture, each air-conditioned with a private bathroom and shower. All look out onto the courtyard or the terrace. See the details of our three room types — Double, Twin and Comfort Triple — on our dedicated page.
A breakfast that puts a smile on your face
Every morning, a generous continental breakfast is served: coffee, tea, milk, fruit juice, pancakes, pastries, eggs, omelette, fresh fruit, cheese, butter, honey, jam and bread. The perfect start before heading out to explore the medina.
An 8.8/10 rating on Booking.com
520 travellers have already rated their stay at Riad Davina, for an average of 8.8/10 ("Superb"), with 9.6/10 for staff and 9.1/10 for cleanliness. Our guests regularly highlight the calm of the neighbourhood, the generous breakfast and the kindness of the team.
Well located despite its hidden address
Despite being off the beaten path, the riad remains easy to reach: about 1.2 km (15-20 minutes on foot) from Jemaa el-Fna square, 1 km from the Bahia Palace and the souks, and well served by petit taxis (10 minutes max to the square). A guarded car park is 500 m away, and a transfer from Marrakech-Menara airport (7 km) is available on request. Find all the practical details on our Contact page.
