Riad Samsli

Friendly very helpful staff. Fantastic location Good plentiful fresh breakfast

Nothing

Riad Samsli is a true hidden gem in the heart of Marrakech’s medina. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with mint tea and pastries — a warm gesture that set the tone for my entire stay. The staff is exceptional — friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. The riad is tastefully decorated, offering plenty of relaxing spaces, including peaceful rooftop terraces that are perfect for escaping the bustle of the city. The rooms are spacious and clean, and the location is ideal — just a few minutes’ walk from Jemaa el-Fna, yet tucked away enough to ensure peace and quiet. Breakfast was generous and delicious, served in a calm and relaxing setting. However, for guests who need to leave early, before 8 AM, it would be helpful to offer an earlier breakfast option or a takeaway package. Overall, Riad Samsli provides an authentic and comfortable experience in Marrakech. I highly recommend this place and can’t wait to return!

Sophien looked after us from beginning to end. He didn't just focus on the property, he made sure to understand our overall trip, got us a porter when we needed it and ensured we were helped on our way to a Toubkal Trek.

The lighting in our room was really poor. We needed to repack our suitcases and we realized we had to get it done before the sun set. However, there are many spaces in the Riad that would allow for good lighting for reading and relaxing.

We looked to achieve a balance between tradional marrocan accommodation, but without missing essentials when it comes to comfort. Furthermore we looked for a location inside the medina, but still have a reachable bus station in the area. Mission accomplished, thank you Riad Samsli for the pleasent stay. :-) On our arrival day, the room was decorated with rose petals. It looked beautiful. The staff is very nice and they adapt to your needs, in our case an early breakfast time. The house in general is maintained well (minor exception see below). We liked the houses architecture and the view from top of the building.

In the bath tub you have 4 tabs. The system is a little bit complicated, especially since one tab is probrably broken.

The staff is very helpful and I especially thank Sofian. The location is great and very close to Jemaa el-Fnaa. The room & the bathroom are a good size.

Our stay at this riad in Marrakesh was absolutely incredible! What impressed us the most was the genuine hospitality of the staff — they went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. A special thank you to Malika, who kindly printed our plane tickets and even prepared breakfast early in the morning before our flight. Truly heartwarming service! The riad is beautiful, with a spectacular view from the terrace. Having breakfast up there was so peaceful — a moment of pure serenity. On arrival, we were welcomed with traditional Moroccan tea, which we enjoyed while admiring the elegance of the riad. Our room was lovely and spotless. The only small downside was the lighting, a bit dim even during the day — but everything else was perfect, so it barely mattered. The location was perfect too — super close to the center, just a 10-minute walk from the main square. We couldn’t recommend this place more — a magical stay from start to finish!

The property was very nice The location was excellent

My stay at Riad Samsli was incredibly enjoyable. The Riad is beautiful, with lots of places to sit outside. The location is great as well, very near the Medina, but still quiet (you can hear the birds sing!). But the personnel is what makes the place extraordinary. They are all super helpfull, kind, and interested. For me, the contact with the staff and how helpful they are, was wat made my stay stand out. The food is incredible, it was actually the best I had in Marrakech. And it's not just the breakfast (which is a lot and very nice), but especially dinner was super tasty! I had the one-person-room, which was perfect. I also really appreciated the pricing, which was more than reasonable for a solo traveller. My stay at Riad Samsli has warmed my heart, it was a home away from home and I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to experience an authentic Riad in Marrakech.

My stay was wonderful, so no suggestions for improvement. I do think that some people might not like that the room is adjacent to an open court yard, this means that it is not dead quiet. However, while I was there, it was quiet between 22:00 and 08:00, all the guests also take this into account and are quiet. Also, the pool is a bit small and not heated. I was there end of March, it was not really appealing to go in. But for me this was not something that influenced my wonderful experience at Samsli.

From the greeting (with mint tea and biscuits), till the ordering a taxi to the airport on the way back home - the stay was perfect.
