VERY COMFORTABLE AND HERE WE SPEAK ITALIAN!
Riad modern, clean and tidy. Fantastic location: just behind a Medina street full of people and shops, so convenient, safe but still quiet. 5 minutes walk from the main square of Marrakech.
Mustafà exceptional host: very kind, very clever and speaks excellent Italian. Breakfast also takeaway. Riad highly recommended!

Good quality/price ratio
We stayed at the Riad Black Door in Marrakech (2 adults and 1 child aged 8), and our experience was overall mixed, with very good points but also significant flaws regarding the ground floor room.
Positive points
First of all, the price is very attractive for a riad located in such a central location. The riad is about a 5-minute walk from Jemaa El-Fna Square, with taxis easily accessible, which is very convenient for getting around. It is also located right in the heart of the internal souk of the medina, allowing for a complete immersion in the Moroccan atmosphere.
The welcome was warm and professional from the moment we arrived. We also want to highlight the kindness and availability of the housekeeper, who is very close to the guests, attentive, and always ready to help, which really makes a difference.
The breakfast was very good, plentiful, and pleasant, and the terrace of the riad is a real plus: calm, relaxing, and perfect for unwinding after a day in the medina.
Negative points (ground floor room)
Unfortunately, the ground floor room we occupied needs urgent renovation. The bathroom is extremely small (about 2 m²), without ventilation, and has visible mold. The door is damaged because the water from the shower is directly splashed onto it, and it even happens that water from the bathroom flows into the room, which is very unpleasant.
In the room, there is a strong smell of dampness, probably related to the lack of ventilation. The hot water system is also complicated: it requires constant adjustments, which can be difficult, especially for a child. Finally, we found the bed and pillows very hard, which affected the quality of our sleep.
Conclusion
The Riad Black Door is an establishment with an excellent location, a very good value for money, and above all, a friendly and welcoming team. However, the ground floor room suffers from significant issues (dampness, bathroom, comfort) that deserve serious renovation.
We recommend this riad for its hospitality and location, but advise requesting another room, ideally on the upper floor.

Relatively convenient, cheap, but not so nice place to stay. Pictures are deceiving.
The riad was relatively close to the main attractions, although not in the middle of the medina. The only real plus is if you are coming with a car since you can drive to the hotel and park on the street in front of it, if you can find parking.
The room was small, dirty, with very small beds, with only 1 very small shelf next to the bed to share between 2 beds, no place for luggage. The room listed a toilet and shower, but it forgot mentioning that they were shared with other rooms. They only gave us 1 small old towel each. The shared bathroom had no ventilation, so better be the first one or you will have to smell other people's odors. Especially since the toilet did not flush properly. After using the toilet, I had to fill a bucket and dump it in the bowl to empty it from my digested food. The shower did not drain properly leaving your feet in a deep pool of water. Breakfast was served at the top floor, in a dirty terrace with plastic chairs. The kitchen was right inside. The cook always showed up 15-20 minutes after the food was supposed to be served. The kitchen was dirty with dirty dish left all over the countertop and the sink. There were towels and sheets hung on the railing in the common area. The lobby, which is supposed to be a common area with sofas, was not particularly nice and the owner was constantly hanging out on the sofa dressed like a bum, watching tv. One day out of the 2 I was in this riad, they had run out of coffee for breakfast (we were the first to arrive on the terrace, so they just didn't buy it the day before). Some of the plugs were precariously attached to the wall.

HORRIBLE!!!
Hello everyone. We spent a horrible week in what looks like a riad and is actually a hovel for gogos! Photos featuring the BlackDoors on the sites are misleading; for example, and for starters, the dead end leading to the riad is malignant and dangerous with bottle shards and stray dogs. But this is only the beginning! The rooms are tiny and are separated from the toilet only by a curtain! The sink, the shower (when it's running) the state of play, the service (no change of sheets or towels during our week) , the breakfast, everything is shabby. The manager is dishonest because he cancelled our reservation to make us pay (more than 80€/night , a fortune for this rat hole ) in CASH!!! Poop week, ruined by nasty liars and crooks: RUN AWAY.

Not recommended
Heating broken on the first night 14 degrees in the room. Second day repaired but just turned off did not restart. Third day promise stove. Never had one. The manager to solve got barefoot on the bed but the punches to the splitter strangely did not work. Bathroom without door and with sink drain directly on the floor. Breakfast very good but served in the yard with 9 degrees in the morning is a bit complicated. Only positive note the availability of the holder
