Located on the outskirts of the Marrakech Medina, the upper-middle-range Riad Nabila is a reasonably priced 10-room property with more amenities than the typical riad, including a wading pool, in-room spa treatments, and free Wi-Fi. Rooms have traditional Moroccan furniture, firm mattresses, and small seating areas, and many have private balconies. Bathrooms are decorated using handmade tile-work, but they're shower only. The riad's restaurant serves classic local dishes, such as tagines and kebabs, as well as a free breakfast, but guests give the food mixed reviews. Visitors who want a riad closer to the Jemaa El Fnaa market may want to consider Riad Azoulay, which has comparable amenities but slightly higher room rates.

The three-pearl Riad Rafaele offers a taste of Old World Morocco with a charming courtyard and small seasonal pool located a 12-minute walk from Jemaa el-Fnaa. The seven colorful rooms are outfitted in traditional and classic decor, but there's some wear here and there and a lack of TVs or coffee- and tea-making facilities can be a drawback for some.
