Recreational amenities include an indoor pool, steam room, and rooftop terrace. Guests can participate in cooking classes or use the hotel's massage services. The surrounding area offers hiking and biking trails, with Royal Tennis Harti and Atlas Golf Marrakech nearby.

Medina Historic District Location

Riad Viva is located in Medina, the old walled city. It is near the private palace of King Mohammed VI. Landmarks within walking distance include Bab Agnaou (0.5 km), Saadian Tombs (1 km), Jemaa el-Fnaa (1.5 km), and Bahia Palace (1.5 km).

Airport Transfer and Services

The hotel provides a free one-way transfer from the airport. Additional services include free Wi-Fi throughout the property, 24-hour reception, luggage storage, car hire, and a ticket service. Ironing facilities and trouser presses are available in rooms.

“In my opinion, it is an authentic Moroccan riad discreetly blending traditional design with contemporary comfort. Its rooftop terrace, complete with a pool, offers views of the Kotoubia Mosque, a memorable vantage point. The location in the heart of the Medina provides easy access to Jamaâ El Fna Square, which I think is ideal for experiencing the city's energy.”

Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Riad Viva is often described as a beautiful and picturesque riad, conveniently located near the center and within walking distance of attractions like Jemaa el-Fna and the Saadian Tombs. Guests frequently highlight the spacious rooms, the charming Moroccan decor, and the inviting rooftop terrace with its plunge pool, offering views, in some cases, towards the Mamounia Hotel. Some guests have mentioned that the parking is located a bit further away, roughly 800 meters from the Riad, but the general consensus leans towards a delightful experience, especially enjoying breakfast in the spacious dining room and the tranquility found just outside the busy medina.

excellent riad experience

easy arriving early breakfast beautiful views
arriving was easy with parking about a five minute walk away costing 70 dirham per night a pickup service to the hotel made access simple. amin provided a warm welcome we even received an early breakfast due to our flight schedule. the rooms were very nice the terrace offered beautiful views the riad combines modern amenities with traditional charm. i would have liked to stay longer than just one night.
i noticed several small flies in my room the swimming pool water could have been cleaner.
