Guest Reviews
- Hon Kit (10/5): 友善的Riad - 雖然呢間Riad位於舊城小巷入面,小巷外已是舊城街市街道,但內裏環境完全不嘈吵. Riad內部非常有特色,第一晚到達摩洛哥所以預訂了酒店之晚餐,選了牛肉及羊肉Sweet Tajine,非常新鮮好味！早餐亦是酒店職員新鮮製作-very good! 職員態度親切友善,讓第一次到訪馬拉客什的遊客有不少建議及注意的地方！
- Chloé (10/5): - Beautiful Riad, attentive staff, amazing breakfast.
- Rodrigo (8/5): Nice Riad in Marrakech - Staff were really friendly. They tried to help us as much as possible with all our needs. Breakfast was really good
- Corinne (10/5): - We absolutely loved this Riad for all the following reasons: 1. Staff were very welcoming from start to finish and accommodating; from preparing 'take away' breakfasts to printing off boarding passes needed for the return trip home at the airport. All at no extra cost. 2. Breakfast was similar each day but something new was added each time and delicious too! 🍳 Every thing was fresh and well prepared. Very filling too. 3. Our room was lovely, so were the other rooms we looked at. Lovely decor, spacious, very comfortable beds and cleaned every day with fresh towels etc. 4. The roof top terrace was a lovely retreat after sundown, as during the day it gets very hot in July but that said, there's a lovely shaded area to kick back and relax. On top of that there's an outdoor shower you can access to cool off. 5. The entrance to the Riad is a 5 minute straight walk, if that, from being dropped off at the entrance of the old city but never an issue day or night. Its 7-8 min walk to the central coach station, which you can easily access very cheaply to hit the beaches and escape the heat and hustle of the city or a 20 minute walk to the square, which is a sight and experience at night in particular! 6. The Riad could accommodate a family /party of friends of 13 if you choose, something I would consider doing the next time I visit Morroco as its 10/10 and quiet too. Beautiful place, beautiful experience and worth every penny!
- Traveler799559 (10/5): The personal touch - We loved this special Riad, with a lovely rooftop for breakfast and a starlit dinner. The staff are so lovely and hugely helpful - Mohamed, Adil and Hamid were the highlight of our stay and went out of their way to help make our week long stay comfortable and special and the owner organised a complimentary cake for my Dad’s 90th birthday. And the lovely ladies at breakfast were always smiling and welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble - restaurants and tours were booked and Tuk Tuks organised. You can eat at the Riad (delicious home cooked food) or there are lots of lovely restaurants 5 to 10 minutes walking distance away. Would highly recommend this little Riad, the staff and their home from home personal touch.
- N3972NKnicolap (10/5): Riad Chayma excellent place to stay in Marrakesh. - From start to finish we had such a wonderful experience at Riad Chayma, Hamid really went above and beyond to make sure our trip to Marrakech was one to remember. The Riad really is home from home. We were greeted by Hamid out of our pre arranged taxi by the Riad and he gave us the traditional mint tea and a map which he extensively explained everywhere we can visit in the city for our three day trip . The breakfast was delicious and Miriam was always smiling and happy to help. Along with Mohammed and another lady chef. We honestly could not have wished for anything better. Highly recommend you to stay here if you visit Marrakech. We will most certainly be back again in the future. Thank you to Hamid and the team.
- fionasL1601BV (10/5): Fabulous stay, very friendly and helpful staff - The riad is clean and comfortable. It is located in a busy local area which can be a bit hectic but you don't hear any noise inside the riad. It's a tranquil place. The warm welcome from Mohamad was great, he explained how to get to centre of town, supplied a city map etc. Mirriam is always smiling, she works hard to keep everything clean and cooks the lovely breakfasts which are served on the roof terrace. We found no fault with this Riad. The staff are excellent, very friendly and cannot do enough for you. Special thanks go to Hamid, he really did go out of how way to make sure we had everything we needed and we very much enjoyed chatting to him about life in north Africa. Thank you to all the staff for a very enjoyable stay!
- Frederic Henry (10/5): - Great all around
- Bradley (10/5): - Cozy Riad in an easy to access Medina location that has a nice mix of locals and visitors. Staff were very helpful organizing tours and making us feel at home. Greatly enjoyed our breakfasts on the rooftop.
- Karine (10/5): - Très bien situé pour explorer la vieille ville. Tranquille tout en étant à proximité des commerces de rue. Excellent service durant tout notre séjour! Le personnel est aux petits soins. J'y retournerais et je recommande!
- Edward (10/5): Schönes Riad - Schönes Riad, gute Lage in der Medina. Sehr freundlicher Empfang. Sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal. Zimmer etwas hellhörig.
- Yumiko (10/5): - こちらのリャドで4泊しました。とても人通りの多い通りから少し入った所にあるのに、中に入ると外の喧騒が嘘のようにゆったりとした気持ちのいい空間が広がっています。 宿泊した部屋の広さも十分で、居心地が良くてついつい部屋で長居してしまいました。 マラケシュの旧市街の観光名所と新市街の両方に徒歩で行けるので、全ての行きたかった場所を徒歩で見て回ることが出来ました。
- gennessews (10/5): Luxurious Stay in the Medina - Moroccan hospitality does not disappoint at this beautiful Riad in Marrakech. We stayed at a lot of places while on vacation in Morocco and this place by far had the nicest bathroom and bedding (and the other places were really nice too!). The medina is busy but the moment you step inside Riad Chayma you are in an oasis of peace. When you arrive make sure you're wearing suitable shoes for uneven ground and your bags are easy to carry as you do need to walk a short distance. Someone from the Riad will meet you. Definitely get the welcome meal your first night. The food at this riad was our favourite in a city of great restaurants. If you like to sleep in, bring earplugs as the riad is open and kind of echoy, but that's to be expected with this style of accommodations.
- Gabriel (10/5): - Excelente atención e instalaciones. Limpio, instalaciones impecables y buen desayuno
- Camille (10/5): - Great location, staff, a meals. Also a good place to get a pretty authentic experience of staying in the Medina.
- Dagenhamdave1969 (10/5): The Friendliest Riad You Could stay in Marrakech - Amazing Riad in a busy medina with the most friendliest and polite staff who are always on hand to point you in the correct direction with any queries. Very clean and a pleasure to stay at when visiting the wonderful city of Marrakech . I enjoyed my stay at Riad Chayma and would recommend anybody visiting Marrakech to stay here. Everything is within close distance and there are some great Eating spots all nearby.
- David (10/5): - Riad Chayma is a gem of a hotel with excellent and very efficient staff on hand to deal with any questions. I really couldn’t fault this Riad tucked away in a very busy medina which is very safe and some great places to eat. I will certainly be making a return visit and look forward to it.
- 410simonc (10/5): Great option when staying within the medina. Staff perfect - Lovely small riad at the NW end of the old City. Very close to the hustle and bustle yet still nice and peaceful when inside. Staff really very helpful and friendly. Our room was nice and spacious. Slept well. Breakfast was great. Bread, fruit, coffee/tea, juice, yogurt, omelette. Plenty of street food options around. Some good local restaurants within 10mins walk. Recommend LIMONI which is 20 mins walk away. If you want to buy beer/wine there is champion supermarket and carrefour within 15 mins walk. We would recommend and would stay again if we return Marrakech
- tt2110 (10/5): Beautiful riad - Lovely little Riad , staff are wonderful ! Adil collected us from our private driver at the entrance to the madina, gave us all the Dos and Dont’s around Marrakesh and even shows you the way to sights via a little map ! Super cool fella , the two ladies that took care of breakfast and room cleaning are brilliant , the breakfast was truly amazing we tried things that we didn’t know what they were but was all lovely ! Clean tidy communal areas , freezing plunge. Pool , great cooling in 44° heat The location is very central to the new town 10 mins walk and you are located right at the edge of the medina so another 10 -20 minutes walk to all the sites of Marrakesh Please be aware that road/street that riad is on is absolutely crazy , noisy and yours senses may be overwhelmed by smells and sights and not to be rude but a little run down , however once that riad door is shut you can’t hear a thing and possibly the best night sleep I’ve ever had . If you want to be central and within 10 -30 minutes of all the sights then this is the place to stay Thanks for a lovely stay
- David (10/5): Outstanding - We loved staying here. Adii and Mohammed welcome their guests wholeheartedly and are always available for guidance. Excellent location to exlpore the souk and easy walking distance to take a taxi if needed. Nice breakfast on rooftop terrace served by a sweet lady who always had a smile on her face. Our room...Bougainvillea...was spacious and comfortable. The hotel can arrange for pickup at the airport which we found convenient. Definitely a fantastic choice for a stay in Marrakesh.
- Frédéric (8/5): - Accueil chaleureux et agréable. Le personnel est souriant et serviable. Le riad est bien placé environ 20 min de marche jusqu'à la place principale. Un peu bruyant mais c'est le charme des Ryad également. Pleins de petits restaurant typique et pas trop chers proche du Ryad.
- Lisa (6/5): - Non sono rimasta particolarmente soddisfatta . Il personale è molto gentile ,la cena e la colazione sono ottimi e la struttura è in una buona posizione. Quello che non mi è piaciuto sono stati dei costi extra applicati senza preavviso. Ho pagato il servizio colazione e non mi hanno dato la possibilità di avere un take away visto che il mio volo era alle 6 della mattina. Ho richiesto un taxi per l'aeroporto facendolo pagare 30 €. ( 10 € in piu per l'orario). Le camere sono belle ma per essere una suite mi aspettavo un letto piu grande. Bello il bagno. Per due notti ,una cena e servizio taxi per aeroporto ho pagato 480€...
- Francesco (10/5): - Bel riad, pulito e silenzioso. Adil ottimo referente. Buona colazione...da tornare
- sheilarI1905XJ (10/5): Fantastic Staff and central Riad. - We enjoyed so much to stay at the Riad. The entire staff was very friendly, attentive and Mohamed was always very helpful and made our stay easier. We felt welcome and at home. We arrived very early in the morning but they got us a room so we could relax and have breakfast. The Riad has a fantastic location near taxis , restaurants and shops. Breakfast was delicious and the Riad was clean and beautiful. Thanks a lot to the ladies at breakfast, to Mohamed and to the all staff.
- Rukhsana (10/5): - The Riad is lovely..everyone is amazingly friendly and helpful, it is in a great location and walkable to most places. Thank you to our hosts Adil and Mohammed
- 273mckennab (10/5): Felt right at home in Marrakech! Lovely staff & riad - Our stay at Riad Chayma was lovely! We would highly recommend the place for couples, or small groups. My husband and I spent 6 nights at the Riad. The place is small and intimate with a nice rooftop patio. Breakfast was served every day on the rooftop. They prepared dinner for us our first night, and we both agreed it was the best food we had our entire time in Morocco. The staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time in Marrakech. Mohamed and Adil went the extra mile to help us book restaurants, activities, transportation -- anything and everything we needed during our stay. Someone is at the Riad at all times and able to help with any questions. The staff was by far the best part of our stay and made us feel welcome and at home. They made the difference in our time in Morocco and we are very grateful for their help! Better than any other hotel I've stayed at. The location is ideally set on the edge of the old town Medina but is walkable to the nightlife in the New Town and many of the tourist attractions in Marrakech. We walked everywhere, no need for a taxi or transportation except for excursions outside of the city. The suite itself was great -- large space comfortable for a couple or a small group of 3. The beds were incredibly comfortable and the bathrooms large and luxurious. Everything is as advertised. For light sleepers, I recommend a pair of earplugs.
- E5637TGdavids (10/5): A Lovely Riad, Great Location too - A perfect base from which to explore Marrakech, easy to walk to the main square and amazing restaurants etc. The staffing team are incredibly hospitable and super friendly. The accommodation is more than ideal for a few nights, there is a lovely rooftop terrace too. The breakfasts are delicious and vary a bit every day - I highly recommend the granola option, be sure to book the night before.
- lisasR735TR (10/5): Wonderful experience at the Riad Chayma - It was our first ever visit to Morocco. The Riad kindly organised our transfers using a private taxi. We were greeted by Mohammed who gave us a full explanation of the Riad and provided us with a map and lots of info on where was good to visit. The Riad itself is lovely and has everything you need. What made our stay so fantastic were the staff. Mohammed and the other managers could not have been more welcoming, friendly and caring. The ladies who worked there catered for our every need, providing a wonderful breakfast every morning, keeping our room tidy and filled with all the essentials. Hard working, friendly accommodating staff. Highly recommend a stay at this wonderful place. Thank you Mohammed and all your staff. You are a credit to the Riad.
- Inspiration44910 (10/5): Superb - We had an absolutely lovely time during our stay last December. The staff were so welcoming, so caring, so helpful and hospitable and always on hand at anytime. A beautifully decorated Riad with a lovely calming ambience and the perfect sanctuary to relax in after a day out in the busy city . Excellent location and I can thoroughly recommend . Thank you to all the lovely staff x
- 881carlyles (10/5): Home in Marrakech - We appreciated the location and comfort of the Riad. There was food, shopping, little restaurants and micro coffee cafes near by. It was a nice haven to enter after being out and about. The staff were top notch and cared about our experience.
- vickyo114 (10/5): Don’t look any further - Absolutely perfect, great location within walking distance to everything. The staff is outstanding and rooms are comfortable and clean. The breakfast is good and changes every day a bit. Definitely recommend, we loved everything about our stay.
- Claire Louise (10/5): - A traditional style accommodation in the heart of the Medina. The staff were amazing and created a home from home vibe. This is perfect for the old town and just a short walk away from the new town.
- Florence (10/5): - We had an amazing stay !!! We got a bit adventurous and decided to stay elsewhere for the 2 last days . Nice Riad also but we really enjoyed Riad Chayma for the ambience, food and convenience . The staff were helpful too . Overall will recommend and will stay again ❤️❤️❤️❤️
- Kelly (10/5): - Beautiful Riad with fantastic welcoming staff. They cant do enough for you. Beautiful breakfast every day served by the sweetest lady. Very comfortable bed too. I’m Situated very close to Bab dou kalla .., convenient gate for taxis.
- Stefan (10/5): 5 star Marrakech Riad - Wow I have ran out of superlatives to describe our stay at the Riad Chayma! A truly fantastic place to stay in Marrakech and somewhere that really encapsulates the unique feel of the city. All the staff are warm, welcoming, attentive and go above and beyond like no where else i’ve travelled before. I would like to thank the Riad Chayma team again for making our time so special. Keep up the great work guys! And, if your debating whether to travel to Marrakech…do it! Yoj won’t be disappointed And…the Riad Chayma is the perfect place to stay. Stefan and Rowena!
- Rafal (10/5): Happy to recommend for everyone - We were very happy to stay there for a quick weekend break. The manager was very helpful giving us all necessary information, organising airport transfer, local guide and even helped us to print bording cards. It will stay very well remembered trip.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Perfect Oasis - My mom and I enjoyed our stay tremendously at Riad Chayma! The riad is the perfect oasis from the bustling city outside. Breakfast on the rooftop can’t be beat and we also relaxed on the rooftop after dinner each night. The staff, including Mohammad, Azil, Nacer, and the 2 ladies who made our breakfasts made sure we were taken care off and gave us great advice on how to navigate Old Medina. The only challenge during our trip was finding the riad upon arrival. Google Map works but we not prepared for the subtle sign at the riad. Please note that the main street (before turning left onto 8 Derb Taabout) is a small and extremely busy street packed with many merchants, restaurants, motor bikes (no lanes) and pedestrians so not easy to navigate with luggage in tow. Nacer was nice enough to pick us up when we called for directions. Once you reach Riad Chayma, it will all be worth it! Thank you again to the professional staff who helped to make our stay perfect!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great stay. Everyone was very helpful and knowledgeable. Very centrally located.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Ay this an excellent start to our adventure in Morocco. The Old Town in Marrakech is a mix of modernity and old world and custom charms. It’s beautiful it’s wonderful and our stay at Riad Chayma enhanced that experience. The staff was wonderful friendly and very helpful. We slept like babies enjoyed our stay and wished we could stay longer . Mohamed and friends are missed already ❤️🏆🥂
- S (8/5): Authentic Marrocan Experience - The location is very good. Close to exit/entrance of the Medina. Only 15 minutes walking from modern part of the city. The staff of the Riad is doing everything to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Super !! We brought our own wine and every night they served us a cold glass at the roof terrace. They gave us great advice on restaurants in the neighborhood. We stayed 5 nights. I would advise to stay max 2-3 nights at the Medina and then a hotel outside the centre. This because of the noise of the Mosque at 0630 am and the noise of other guests.
- Gary (10/5): - Wonderful stay in Riad Chayma, all the staff where fantastic. An oasis from the mayhem on the streets of Marrakech. Great location for trips to the new town, as well as walking around the old town.
- Darren (10/5): Friendly and welcoming raid - The staff were amazing and the food was fantastic. We had a dinner at the hotel on our first night and breakfast was great. The room was comfortable. Excellent raid
- Walid (10/5): Amazing! - Such an amazing place to stay and the staff is superb! he attention to detail is highly immersive.
- Aaron (10/5): - Big rooms and the guys at the front desk were amazing, breakfast was really good too
- Sandra (10/5): - The Riad is in an excellent condition. The staff is very friendly and professional. The breakfast was very tasty and fresh.
- Scott (10/5): Thanks Riad Chayma - Thank you to everyone at Riad Chayma for making our stay so enjoyable. Highly recommend this Riad if you’re heading to Marrakech. Perfect location, great staff.
- Yuri (6/5): Wonderful kind hosts... - Two gents who hosted me were as kind as they could be. Overall I found Moroccan people to be genuinely kind, welcoming and hard working. If I could rate my trip to Marrakesh solely by its people, I would rate 10 out of 10. This Riad room was wonderful overall Roomy, only has 5 rooms in the building so I received a wonderful personal attention from the hosts. I give 3 out of 5 for the following reasons: 1) location - it's inside the "wall" Media (downtown or old city) where most Americans would find somewhat challenging. Even for someone like me who has been to over 50 countries worldwide, it was initially scary to find its location, tucked in the corner of a small alley way. Once you go inside, it's all safe, but the surrounding is the opposite. For those who are looking for REAL Marrakesh experience, I highly recommend this Riad. For those who are used to the American way of life (its convenience), stay in the "new world" neighborhood some blocks away from Medina. I usually prefer latter and I instantly regretted getting this Riad, but at the end of my trip, I was glad I stayed there. I got used to the surroundings and narrow busy dark streets to get to the Riad. 2) Breakfast wasn't served until 9AM. Again, perhaps it's the Marrakesh way. One morning I had to miss it because I had an early day, and second day I requested if I could have it at 830 and they gladly accommodated that. Breakfast was lovely but I am not sure about serving it outside
- Billal (10/5): Best Place to stay - Wow what an experience, all three staff had gone above and beyond to make sure our stay was warm and welcoming. The manager had even walk me to the best loaf street food. The recommendations they made for sight seeing and food was exceptional. Really friendly staff and looked after us all the way Thank you so much you guys are fantastic Billal K
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Our stay was amazing. All the staff were so friendly and helpful. Breakfast was gorgeous specially the pancakes. Rooms were clean and smelled beautiful. Would 100% stay here again and recommend to friends.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Amazing stay, great people! - We stayed at Riad Chayma for 3 nights on Oct 2019. It was an amazing stay, we found here great people with beautiful warm hearts and simply the best lamb tagine! Riad: beautiful architecture and the location is great as it is in the old city but close to Bab Doukkala gate. You can easily escape the busy Medina and venture to the new city. It is amazing how once you enter the door of the Riad, you are welcomed to a serene quiet place while outside the door the heart of the market is pulsing. Meals are served on the beautiful rooftop terrace. Room: we have occupied the Orange room. Beautiful décor, clean, private bathroom, AC, safe. The room was prepared daily by a lovely young lady who was very polite and friendly. Food: We had dinner there the first night and delicious breakfast (included) each morning. If I have any regret is not booking one more dinner there as, venturing to some beautiful restaurants later on, none of the tagine we had compared with the one from Riad Chayma. Many thanks to the young lady who prepared it. People: Probably the biggest asset of this Riad are the people who went above an beyond to make our stay the best possible. We have had help and guidance for any question we had, recommended us places to visit and dine, even helped us find transportation to our next destination. A few names to mention: Adil, Shareef and Mohammed. Communication with the owner was also great when we needed initial information. Thank you! Cristina and George
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The staff are amazing. First day there and Adeel gave us a map of the area and explained do's and dont's. Hot breakfast every morning was delicious with a variety of fruit and condiments. All the staff were helpful and made you feel at home.
- Frea (10/5): Great for couples! - It was a great place. Very professional and friendly staff. The guys helped us to book camel and quad trips as well as helped us to get the best experience there.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Staff were very nice and inclusive of our needs. One day we needed breakfast earlier and they provided it for us which was great! They also gave us a map of the confusing Médina and pointed out the main places to go and explained the routes clearly which helped us get on our feet quickly and start exploring. The room was lovely, made up every day and the bathroom was clean and modern. The food was delicious, we had breakfast and lunch there. Only slight downside is that you leave your key when you go out and sometimes your waiting outside the hotel for a few minutes as the staff may not be at reception. However I stress this is a very slight inconvenience and we were never waiting for ages. Good location, nice facilities and nice people !
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Breakfast was sensational, and the room was wonderful, very clean and spacious. The staff were kind and available to help with any questions we had at any time of the night. Fantastic stay
- Michael (10/5): Oasis of calm - Amazing. Marrakech is amazing. The Riad was perfect for us in all respects. A warm welcome with some mint tea and local travel tips. Situated just off the main route into Jemma El Fina. 15 mins walk through typical Marrakesh streets- which provided insight into everyday life. A lovely breakfast everyday - including a tasty omelette. Comfortable room with all we needed. Plunge pool was perfect after a days sightseeing. Most importantly the staff were fantastic - welcoming, helpful and professional. Make sure you read the info book in the room - lots of good info. Would definitely book again.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - The property was clean and central. It is very close to the main road.
- Bonnie (10/5): Beautiful Haven - The Riad lived up to it's pictures. Very clean and a helpful staff who met all of our needs. They went out of their way to help us with the local area, and we had 2 fabulous dinners with traditional Moroccan food on the terrace. The riad is located in the local market area which can be noisy, crowded, and at certain times full of motorcycles and bikes. Be careful walking! But once you are inside the riad, you find a quiet, clean, and refreshing haven.
- Grant (4/5): Buyer beware - The booked this place based on other positive reviews. I was mistaken to follow these as this place has many many issues, especially since it is not a budget price The bed had a bed bugs and management would not accept it and wanted to blame me. Not sure what they did but the 2nd night was much better, although I still feel there are cleanliness issues overall The shower is in the bath which is dangerous getting in and out. The location itself is in the middle of the locals market, and it is not a pleasant place
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Staff were very helpful, accommodating and personal.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Excellent Location, feels like home, friendliness and helpfulness of staff especially Mohammed. If this is your time in marrakech this is the place to stay.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The rhiad was charming. We had a lovely welcome and dinner on the roof top terrace was such a pretty setting and special. The room was very comfortable and clean with a great shower. Breakfast was excellent and the staff could not have done more in helping us with dinner , tour and Hammam bookings.

- Verified traveler (10/5): - Staff was awesome and very helpful! They gave very helpful tips and suggestions:)
- DS (10/5): Lovely peaceful riad in the heart of the Medina - Riad Chayma is in the heart of the Medina and the souks but calm and quiet, beautifully decorated and run by the most helpful, welcoming staff as a ‘home from home’. Substantial breakfasts are included, and delicious fresh-cooked meals are available if you order them in advance. We had a wonderful time and would definitely come back
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The Riad was a calm tranquil escape from the busy streets ouside, rooftop terrace was very peaceful, only disappointment was the location, which was in the old town , although the souks and other attractions were only 5 -15 mins walk.could not fault the staff who were all amazing. Can highly recommend this Riad.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Thank you for a wonderful stay, on checking in to leaving the staff were fabulous, helpful, nothing was to much trouble.
- Alexandra (10/5): Amazing time in Marrakech! - We're a couple who came to Marrakech for a short holiday. The riad was in a great location to access all the sites - the main square, souks, YSL gardens & palaces. The souks & main square were about 15-20mins walk & YSL gardens about 10-15mins walk. The riad itself was beautiful. A real calm amongst the chaos! The room was beautifully done and spacious. The breakfast was amazing! Really tasty and nice to eat up on the roof terrace. The team at the riad were so helpful. The service couldn't have been better.
- Verified traveler (10/5): What a gem!!! - Wonderful stay, service par excellent.
- Pamela (10/5): Excellent small Riad with friendly staff - Riad Chayma is an oasis of calm in a very busy neighbourhood of Marrakesh. We were met at the Bab Doukkala gate to the Médina by Cheriff and taken the very short distance to the Riad. The courtyard is lovely with plants and seats; there is also a small plunge pool. Our room and bathroom were furnished in typical Moroccan style and both were very clean and comfortable . A substantial breakfast of fresh juice, tea and coffee, fresh fruit, yoghurt, eggs, bread and a range of jams was served each morning on the rooftop terrace. The Riad is a short walk from both the sights of the Médina and the new town. Staff couldn’t have been more helpful and organised a day trip for us to the Atlas Mountains .
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Really friendly, helpful staff and amazing breakfast
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The staff is really kind and helpful, the room is amazing and super clean. The position is perfect to me, it's 10 to 20 minutes walking distance from any site of interest (jardin majorelle, palais bahia, palais badia, the secret garden). It's inside the old town but close enough to the new town.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Beautiful room, fast internet, great location. The staff were extremely helpful with advice about how much things should cost, where to get a good local meal, etc.
- Chris (10/5): Relaxing haven within the bustle of the medina - Really friendly, personal service. Helped us out with loads of bookings. Possibly the best bathroom I’ve ever seen.
- Janet (8/5): A great little riad - The Riad is small and quaint and located ideally by one of the entrances. Easy for car drop off and the hotel staff are wonderful about meeting and helping with luggage. We found access and walking about very simple to do after a quick orientation. Breakfast was delicious and they even served in our room because the terrace was a little chilly. Excellent staff was so hospitable. Thanks to riad chayma!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Beautiful Riad, great location and lovely staff. The rooms were spacious and very clean. Breakfast was delicious, as was the dinner we had there on the first night.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Lovely, comfortable Riad furnished in traditional Morrocan style. Only 5 rooms so felt we had personal service. Each room furnished in its own beautiful style. Would recommend paying a little extra to have one of the deluxe rooms on the first floor. Staff were extremely helpful throughout our stay. Plentiful and tasty breakfasts served each morning on the roof top terrace. However what really makes this Riad is its location, just off a colourful and bustling market street in the Medina. We throughly enjoyed walking up and down it each day for the every changing insights into old Marakech life it gave. There are more luxurious Riads around that have more facilities but for location, service and value for money this Riad is a must.
- Dion (10/5): - I have stayed all over the world in 5 and 6 star hotels in Dubai, Bahrain, Thailand London and Paris this is by far the best place I’ve stayed in such a personal service it’s literally like going into somebody’s house and staying there as a guest and they are so friendly and helpful I would highly recommend this for couples or business travelers a like
- Dipak (10/5): Amazing Riad Chayma ! - Our first reaction when we got there was OMG 😲, what have we done & where have we ended up coming here ! Our transfer from the airport dropped us off inside the old Médina walls by a very busy market where we were met by Sharif, who led us down some very crowded, busy & narrow cobbled alleys to a single black door with a sign outside reading “Riad Chayma”. Once the door was opened & we were taken inside the Riad, we thought “WOW ! What a fantastic surprise!” The Riad was absolutely amazing, superbly designed and the outside world was not even noticeable. All the staff were extremely friendly, helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was served fresh every morning & was plentiful to set us up for the day. We also had a traditional Moroccan dinner one evening to celebrate my birthday and the food was without doubt the best food we ate whilst in Marrakech, thanks to Sana’a for cooking & Adil for recommending and serving the food. Sharif helped organise our tours using the services of his brothers Kamal for the half day city tour and Aziz for the Atlas Mountains & Ourika falls day tours, both of which we highly recommend. Everyone is so friendly, helpful & we felt safe & looked after like family. Such a pleasant stay at Riad Chayma, couldn’t have asked for more! Thank you.
- Salma (10/5): - Unique location to the hotel. Very close to local amenities, cafes and shopping
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Lovely place to stay in Marrakech Warm and welcoming staff. The entrance could be a little more pleasing to the eye, but once inside it’s very nice.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Great Location and Beautiful Riad - Had a great experience at Riad Chayma. Our hosts were very personable and willing to help with any queries we had. The location is fantastic allowing you to easily walk all around the Medina and head into New Town too should you want. Highly recommend having at least one dinner at the Riad which was an authentic home cooked Moroccan meal. Would happily suggest this Riad to any friends heading to Marrakech
- Dan (8/5): Cosy Riad in the Medina - We were surprised when we arrived after a long day of travel to find this cosy little place tucked away in a side alley inside the Medina. Staff were very friendly, especially Mohammed, who never hesitated to help with our every need. Breakfast on the rooftop each morning was a welcome start to the day, along with the chorus of little birds chirping away. Staff were willing to offer advice on trips, tours, restaurants and also provided directions and best way to get there (walk, taxi).
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Excellent staff. We thoroughly enjoyed. Best service. Would highly recommend.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Peaceful but well situated. - Excellent hotel. The personal tours were fabulous.
- Kristi (10/5): - The staff was very flexible about a hiccup we had in our schedule and worked to accommodate our needs. I was anxious about transportation from the airport to the Riad, and they arranged for me to have a driver. It is located a short walk to the Djemaa el-Fna. The riad is located in a small market area, which gives an intimate slice of life of the local people. The room was amazing! There is a terrace on the roof, and each morning we enjoyed a breakfast of coffee, fruit, breads, spreads, and the best freshly squeezed orange juice you will ever have. I highly, highly recommend this place.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Amazing! - My husband and I stayed at Riad Chayma at the end of May. I am so glad we decided to with a smaller Riad versus a large hotel. We had an absolutely amazing and unforgettable experience. The staff was so friendly, helpful and welcoming. They made our stay very comfortable and stress free. They took care of our bookings (day trips). Read itself is very well located in the old town. Although the souks outside are noisy and busy, once you close the door you are transformed to place that is very quiet and tranquil. We would also highly recommend booking a dinner at the Riad. The dinner was prepared by their local chef using fresh ingredients and was very delicious. Thank you for your hospitality!
- Nicola (10/5): - Very enjoyable stay, staff were very friendly and helpful, the room was very comfy and the hotel was like a hidden oasis from busy market street.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Welcoming boutique hotel - recommend! - Excellent customer service helped provide a tranquil setting when you've had enough exploring the Medina. Great location in the Medina, close walk to all attractions.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The most lovely riad with the most helpful staff! We had an amazing time and felt comfortable and looked after right from the beginning. Make sure to eat dinner at the riad! It’s excellent
- Alessandro (10/5): Great stay! - Perfect location, very nice riad, staff is welcoming and very helpful. A great stay!
- Nir (10/5): enjoyed! - Will stay again.
- Asha (10/5): Really nice. - Well the place only has 5 rooms lovely rooftop to chill in the sun. Morning breakfast is on the roof was amazing. Day staff more helpful. Quite place. Walking distance to everything. Great food places around.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The hotel is really nice Riad that makes you feel very calm while inside. It is close to one end of the Médina wall. For a fee they willl pick you up from the airport.
- Hattie (10/5): Beautiful Riad - Lovely, homely riad near to the main square and souks. The riad is decorated really well - modern but still authentically Moroccan - beautiful room and very comfortable bed. Staff are wonderful, couldn't do more for us. Breakfast incredible and one of our favourite parts. Booked a brilliant trip to Essaouira too through the hotel - would recommend.
