Amazing property and property management. Super peaceful and beautiful, caring staff who were all so lovely. Only downside is you have to wait for the property manager to open the door to the Riad everytime

Ibrahim was an excellent host, who was friendly and helpful. The riad is in a great location, within walkable distance of the plaza but removed from the hustle and bustle. The room was clean and provided the essentials. Would recommend for the price 👍

This was a sweet Riad. The main courtyard was beautiful. It was clean and run by a lovely man. Although breakfast was lovingly presented, it was very small and there was no protein - Possibly normal for Morocco.

We loved our stay at this charming Riad which is situated very close to the Bahia palace and the Medina. The gentleman taking care of the Riad is the sweetest man you’ll ever meet. We will definitely be coming back.

This was the least hospitable riad we stayed at in Marrakesh. The room did not have working air conditioning, and the street our room faced was very busy so it was noisy at night with the window open. The bathroom was poorly designed because the shower was directly in front of the sink with no curtain to separate it, so we were standing in the wet shower when using the sink. The location is not far from the main square, but you have to walk through areas without sidewalks to access them. We also disliked that we were not given a key to the front door like we were at other riads and we had to ring the doorbell every time we came back to our room. We had much better experiences at other riads that charged the same price.

The property advertises as having a spa and pool which it did not have.that was the readon for me booking this place. False advetisement makes it really annoying. The host was overly friendly trying to hug which made me feel insecure. The facilities were alright

The stay was lovely beacuse of the host and warm feeling, but there were some issues during our stay. A/C in the room was not working, there was no swimming pool, restaurant (except for breakfast) nor beauty/massage services on the premises, as was written in the advertiment. The breakfast was quite narrow and exactly the same every day (would've been nice with some fresh veggies or fruits). The room had a bathtub, but you were not able to use it, since there was no plug. The building was nice, but could use some new furniture and f.ex. cozy lights for the evenings.

A real Moroccan experience with a traditional riad.Although quite basic it was very convenient for Marrakech s sights,was clean and Ibrahim the host was very welcoming.. Knowledge of some French made the stay a lot easier.Would certainly return there as great value for money.

Riad is fantastic, really beautiful, and people so kind and helpful. We arrived by night and had a little problem with our room, but they immediately found a very convenient solution for us. To be honest, it was not easy to find it in the dark, but keep in mind that from Palace Bahia is a few meters away (3minutes walking). Just follow the main road and do not enter into narrow streets. Our taxi driver was in hurry to go eating after Ramadan fastening and drop us off in front of the Palace. Google maps do not work very well due to narrow streets of the Medina, but Riad Marelia is on the main road. Thank you for everything and we hope to see you again at magic Riad.

Hi thanks to give me opportunity to inform you about the property. Please check the issues list below. 1, there was no English speaking receptionist we spend 1 hour to take the key because there was an old person on the reception and not understand anything he took Extra money from us and refused to give us receipt. 2, too cold room on the the request he give us electrical heater with is not comfortable for us. 3, the property was empty but still he didn’t give both rooms together and no light was in the property after 11pm also he didn’t allow us to go out after 11pm because he looked the door and no entry after 11pm. 4, Breakfast only a few things like Moroccan tea beard and jams. 5, no toiletries at all The bottom line not happy with this property Just waset of money.

3 nights experience, Salome room. Very clean and impeccable. Brahim is a sweetheart, but quiet in overall. Loved the pancakes. He doesn't speak english, just some french. Shower is metallic, so do not open the hot water first!. Neither close the cold water. It burns!! Good price. This is the right number from their Instagram page 33767492477 It is just a place to sleep, do not expect much tourist guidance. Breakfast has no protein (eggs or cheese). They now have hair dryer, which is great help! My room was noisy, because is over the street (Salomé), but it is part of the experience. Bring earplugs. There are not tables/chairs to put our stuff in the room, only two tiny night tables, so our stuff was always in the floor. There is a paper in the room saying the Riad open until 12:30am but in reality it was until midnight (even if it is the Ramadan excuse, the paper must be updated). This must also be inform with the booking, as I wanted to be out later. I totally understand it is to help the manager sleep pattern, but I would prefer to know and pick another place as we are young. Expedia says 24 hours front desk but they don't have enough staff to do this. Expedia say spa treatments, but I couldn't even get a phone number to book a hammam, so no spa, neither information. He did offer me to walk with me, but I needed the price, book over the phone etc. Our time is limited. Bring clean flip flops, as shower and sink share the same space so floor is always wet.

Nous avons passé un très bon séjour au Riad Marélia. Brahim s’est montré très disponible, arrangeant et d’une grande gentillesse. Le petit déjeuner était copieux. Le Riad est très bien placé ce qui permet de tout faire à pieds. Le petit bémol est que notre chambre était relativement bruyante car elle donnait sur la rue.

Sooo… the Riad in good location, walkable every where , 2 minutes Bahia Palace, 8-10 minutes to Koutoubia and El Jemma square, 5 minutes to Souk. Lots of dining places. As for Riad, old, rooms small, i had twin room just for myself it was small, there were 3 beds actually. Breakfast is bread pita, crepes, coffee,juice, olives. No fruits, no eggs- was a problem for me as I am more on eating healthy staff and was craving for normal breakfast. But 3 minutes walk there is a small like street place they make eggs over there. Also, if you need hair dryer need to ask, cause there was no inside the room. Btw, as for the owner Ibrahim, very nice old men, no speaking english (just French and Arabic), but very nice attentive. Would I stay there again, probably not, but more because it is noisy street, very noisy. And too much going on around there. Overall for that price it worth of it, cause I also was booking last minute. Also, no need to take tours around there, just explore everything by yourself, cause it is great location for it.

This riad is a nice traditional riad it has a very authentic moroccon feel to it. It is is a little dated, so dont expect luxury, but it is still good and a very charming riad. It is clean and we did not face any real issues with it. Breakfast is okay, but not much variety though. We also had to buy soap as the soap provided was very small. The surrounding area seems a little scary but is completely fine, locals are very friendly and amazing people!! Very close to Bahia palace, Koutubia and mosque other main attractions. There is parking nearby, but you have to pay. Please note that if you do not speak French it is a little hard to communicate with the Riad’s receptionist/housekeeper but you can use google translate, but he is very sweet and does his best. We had to leave for the airport at 6:30 and he accomodated and made breakfast early for us, which you would not get at big restaurants. The manager was also very helpful with any quieries or favours! Overall great stay

Riad authentique, une mention spéciale pour Ibrahim aux petits soins avec nous. Concernant l'entretien il faudrait que les personnes chargées du nettoyage des chambres interviennent plus régulièrement. Séjour très agréable au cœur de Marrakech facilitant les déplacements à pied.

De riad was echt mooi maar aan onderhoud toe. De baas was ontzettend vriendelijk en behulpzaam sprak helaas alleen Frans. We hebben genoten en het heeft ons aan niets ontbroken
