Riad Timila

Feb 2024. Very bespoke service. Riad Timila reached out to see if we needed airport pickup and then arranged it for us. With the taxi not able to drive to get close to the hotel, they met us at the taxi to lead us through the maze to the Riad. After a quick tour around the hotel, we were guided the 5 minute walk to the Jamal En Fnaa to ensure we could find our way back. The Riad was clean, quiet and the beds were comfortable. Dealing with Mouad, the main contact at the Riad, was a pleasure. Mouad was extremely flexible and accommodating with our timings for breakfast and dinner. I recommend having dinner at the hotel at least one of the nights during your stay. It is home made, traditional and delicious! Reviewed from a Canadian perspective.

A lovely 4 day stay made much more special by Timila staff. Simple and authentic Riad, with charming details everywhere you turn. The rooms were very clean, very good food, and the service was impeccable. Mouad made our stay special by catering to all our needs, always available with a smile and discretion. Merci Mouad.

It’s a bit of a cliché to describe a riad as an “oasis”, but there is no better word I can think of. None more so than Riad Timila. From the deep plunge pool down in the courtyard to the sun-soaked top terrace, every corner of the spacious riad oozes calm and relaxation. Navigating the busy alleys and souks of Marrakesh is a frenetic, energising and - occasionally - exhausting experience. What a delight then, at the end of a busy day, to be able to retire to such a beautiful, comfortable, serene and spotlessly clean home away from home. The place is stunning, a perfect mix of traditional style and modern design. I particularly loved our huge en-suite bathroom: super-smart integrated sink and shower, facing a wall of beautiful antique wooden masks. The real highlight of the riad, though, are Brahim, Ismael, Hennia, and the other amazing staff. They were incredibly friendly, attentive and accommodating. We ended up eating most of our meals at the Riad and each one of them was an impressive feast. One of our party has a severe food allergy and they were extremely careful and reassuring. I’ve stayed in other riads in Marrakesh before, but none can quite compete with Timila. Quite possibly the best place I have ever stayed on any holiday, period.

We had the most lovely week staying at Riad Timila. Brahim was able to help us with all our needs. The rooms were very nice and extremely comfortable beds. We ended up eating most of our meals there as the food was extremely good. It was very quiet there at night and yet we were only an approximately 8 minute walk from the main square. There were 11 of us and all of us thought it was a great place and thoroughly recommend it.

Riad Timila is the most gorgeous oasis just off the main souk, with a beautiful patio overlooking the rooftops of Marrakech. Brahim and Ismail were absolutely wonderful and so helpful, from guiding us through the souk to a little hidden spa, taking my friends to the doctor and organising our trips and restaurants, they couldn't have been better hosts. The food was always deliciously prepared and anything else we needed was quickly rustled up, even when my friend fell ill from the souk. We had the best possible long weekend and couldn't recommend Riad Timila more.

This was my second visit to Riad Timila and it was even better than I had remembered! The Riad is decorated in an authentic style with gorgeous artwork and eclectic furnishings. It felt like staying in a palace! Communication with Victoria was very efficient and Brahim the house manager was also very quick in responding to me. We were able to arrange transfers to and from the airport and a guide all through the Riad. There are many trips you can organise with them depending on your stay. All rooms are each very individual in style and have very comfy beds, furnishings and amazing bathrooms. The dip pool is a great relief from the heat of the souks as is the terrace to catch a breeze and get a good view of the Koutoubia and the terracotta rooftops. At night from my favourite spot an the top most terrace u can see the smoke rising Ron the street food market in the main square. You will not regret staying here. Myself and my elderly uncle were looked after so well. Ismail was always on hand if we needed anything. Henia cooked an amazing spread at breakfast, lunch and dinner. Don’t hesitate to book this Riad, you will not regret it! It is an experience in itself right in the heart of the ancient and vibrant Médina.

Stayed here for a week away with friends. Unbelievably lush and breazy rooftop terrace and very friendly staff. Air con and pool are excellent ways of cooling off after a day exploring Marrakesh. Magnificent
