Fodor's Expert Review Riad Linda

93, Derb Jemaa, Marrakesh, Marrakesh-Safi, Morocco

A Scottish-owned riad with English-speaking staff, Riad Linda is an unpretentious and welcoming guesthouse that is an excellent value; it's decorated in contemporary Moroccan style, with individual touches such as vintage caftans displayed in bedrooms and enormous abstract modernist paintings by the owner. Rooms have wrought-iron beds and en suite bathrooms and are simply decorated with cool white walls, powder blue painted shutters, and a scattering of soft woolen carpets. The upstairs Douria Suite is split-level and ideal for a small family, with an open fireplace, huge walk-in bathroom, and private hammam. The Sahara Room is triple-bedded on the ground floor and suitable for friends or children, or those with limited mobility. The Bedouin tent on the roof terrace has great sunset views to the Koutoubia Mosque and a canopied lounging area perfect for daytime relaxation.
