Riad Marlinea
Traditional architecture with a pool and hot tub
About this stay
Riad Marlinea combines traditional Moroccan architecture with a pool and hot tub, a rare pairing among the destination's traditional-listed and budget-tier riads since most keep to a courtyard-only format without a water feature. Seven minutes' walk from Bab Chaafa, it pairs pet-friendly rooms with budget-hotel pricing, making it a standout for travellers who want a swim without paying marina-front rates elsewhere in Ameur. Free breakfast keeps the first meal of each day simple, and full-service laundry suits a longer trip where packing light matters more than usual. The hot tub adds a genuine evening option beyond the pool itself, useful once the estuary air cools after sunset and a warm soak feels more appealing than a swim.

Our take
This suits travellers who want traditional architecture alongside a pool and hot tub, budget-conscious pet owners especially given the combination of amenities at this price point. The seven-minute walk to Bab Chaafa keeps the old town's gates within reach on foot. Travellers wanting a more polished, higher-rated riad should compare with Riad Lalla Zineb instead, since Marlinea trades some polish for its lower rate and added amenities.
- Use the hot tub in the evening once the estuary air cools down after sunset each day
- Walk to Bab Chaafa in the late afternoon, seven minutes away and a good orientation point
- Take advantage of full-service laundry if travelling light on a longer, multi-city Moroccan trip
Why we love it
- Pool and hot tub with traditional architecture

Why guests love itI would look at Riad Marlinea for a family that wants traditional Moroccan architecture with a pool and a hot tub, without top-tier rates. The four-star riad accepts pets, and breakfast, Wi-Fi and full laundry service are included, practical on a longer trip with children. Bab Chaafa is seven minutes' walk away, and Hassan Tower nine minutes by taxi. An 8.0 rating from 121 reviews is good, if a step below the best-rated riads nearby.
