Emma's Riad

Nothing.

Prior to our arrival I asked them if a gluten free breakfast was possible. They told me yes, but it was an additional charge of €15,-… In Marrakech this is crazy!!! Around 157DH is practically a 3 course diner here. So, I asked what the regular breakfast includes ( I would be fine with an egg and fruit ) but I received NO response. When arriving, we were greeted by a hostess who could only speak French… So, when I tried to explain my food situation she did not understand a thing. Disappointed we went to our room, to find a very old dated room, cables everywhere and a TV that did not work. I would definitely not recommended this stay. Price / quality does not match. 1000DH a night is really expensive here so you could definitely go somewhere for this amount of money. Overall, really bad and happy we only had to stay here for 1 night….

This Riad was wonderful, the bed was so comfortable and luxurious. The smaller room was perfect for a solo traveller, it was clean and more than comfortable. The aesthetics were well thought out and the breakfast was very tasty and generous. I arrived late and the taxi driver took me right to the door where the staff welcomed me warmly. I would love to stay here again!

Very pretty, very clean and great location.

Our bathroom had saloon type doors and a decorative window to the bedroom which did not allow for any privacy. Also the terrace was a little disappointing although I appreciate there is rain at this time of year.

The property itself was quite nice, comfortable and clean. With only a few rooms available the building was also quite quiet. It was a good value for money for the time that we spent there. Rashida was very helpful and catered to our needs. The homemade breakfast prepared by her every morning was lovely as well. Overall the accommodation was quite unique and it was certainly worth staying there.

The hostess was lovely, very attentive and overall made our stay pleasant.

The property was ideally located close to major sight seeing locations (Saadian Tombs, Badi Palace, Bahia Palace) which was incredibly convenient. However, the ~5 minutes surrounding the property were shady at night and uncomfortable during the day, making the walk unpleasant (will note nothing happened)

The staff and the owner were friendly and helpful. They made us feel welcomed.Beds and pillows were comfortable. Rooms are clean. Great location, in walking distance to Jemaa El Fnaa which we enjoyed doing almost every evening. Close to tour pick up spots when we have a tour activity.

One has to realize that after last year’s earthquake, lots of damage has occurred in Riad Emma’s neighborhood so these neighbors are rebuilding which could look like a mess and creates noise when the work resumes in the morning after 9.

The staff was very kind but for 80 euros a night I had no WiFi in my upstairs room and the hot water didn't work until just the last day.

Very beautiful Riad hidden within the walls of old Marrakesh, in a traditional setting of street vendors dotted around a labyrinth of artisanal, windy, foot paths. This is the real Marrakesh, with very few tourists and a buzzing local population who always greeted us with a smile. Nobody judged anybody, we were all just people getting along with our day. The staff, most notably Rachida, were incredibly welcoming and attentive, baking us fresh Moroccan breads every day for breakfast, and informing us of places to see and visit. The streets of this neighbourhood are littered with feral cats, who are taken care of by the locals, and who keep the pest populations under control. Zero rats, zero cockroaches, but loads of bicycles and dilapidated scooters buzzing too and fro in this old-time setting. Wonderful experience all around!

The most lovely experience. Rashida’s kindness is unmatched.
