"The decor was authentic and traditional, which gave the riad a gorgeous charm, though I have to admit, in all its cosiness, I found that noise travelled a lot."

Family-run riad, 2-minute walk from Jemaa el-Fna Square in Marrakech Medina
Location & Access
Riad Casa Sophia sits inside the Medina, a 2-minute walk from Jemaâ El Fna Square. The narrow streets require walking, but the owner meets guests at the square to guide them in. Taxis and transfers stop at the edge of the pedestrian zone, a standard condition for any Medina riad.
Amenities & Services
The riad offers a patio with flowers, a furnished terrace, and a traditional lounge with a fireplace. The owner organizes trips, transfers, and excursions in the area at an extra cost. Babysitting, car hire, and packed lunches are available upon request.
Accommodations
Each air-conditioned room has typical Moroccan décor and a private bathroom with a shower. Room types include Standard Double, Comfort Double, Deluxe Double, and Budget Twin - some with bunk beds. The rooms offer good natural and artificial light, with outlets well positioned.
Dining
A traditional Moroccan breakfast is included and served each morning in the dining room or on the terrace. Moroccan specialties are available for dinner, but only with prior reservation. Staff can prepare a takeaway breakfast for early departures.
Family & Children
Babysitting and child services are offered by the riad. The quiet atmosphere and rooftop terraces provide space for families to relax. Staff have been noted for celebrating guests' birthdays with a cake, as reported by past families.

Service: Owner meets guests at the square to guide them in

“This small hotel places you squarely in the Medina, mere steps from the main square, yet tucked away on a quiet, secure side street. I was particularly struck by the personalized service; the owners clearly aim to craft individual experiences. The rooftop terrace is a real highlight, providing a peaceful escape with wide city views.”
