- Durrieu Pescay (10/5): -
- Thierry (10/5): -
- Barataud (8/5): Très bien placé personnel adorable repas très bons je recommande vivement - le personnel est adorable, le riad est en plein centre idéalement placé, les repas étaient très bien aussi. chambre très lumineuse le matin et un peu bruyant
- Ismail (9/5): -
- Lorene (8/5): -
- Christoph (8/5): -
- Patrick (8/5): - L emplacement et le personnel très disponible. Très bruyant et wifi de piètre qualité
- Gregory (8/5): - Le personnel aux petits soins tout le long du séjour La chambre attribué mal placé juste devant les tables du déjeuner
Le robinet de salle de bain pas d eau heureusement que la douche fonctionne
- Clarissa (7/5): -
- Francesco (5/5): Make sure you get a good room when you book. - Ok placement in the Kasbah, nice Riad but had an awful room. The worst room I’ve ever been in a hotel, narrow and small, very uncomfortable. The room they offer should not be sold to anyone. It’s by the living and breakfast area and very noisy the morning. Not recommended.
- SYLVAIN (7/5): Emplacement proche de la grande place, personnel aux petits soins et petit déjeuner copieux - Emplacement proche de la grande place, personnel aux petits soins et petit déjeuner copieux Un peu labyrinthe pour y accéder
- sandra (8/5): - El personal muy amable , la cama comodisima y muy tranquilo. El desayuno mas que bien y las cenas muy correctas Se encuentra muy bien situado pero esta escondido. Puede dar un poco de miedo la primera vez .
Y si como a mi os molesta la luz para dormir llevar antifaz, en cuanto amanece entra luz
- Marika (8/5): - Lo staff, la colazione, la posizione, l’atmosfera La nostra stanza era molto umida e al piano terra sentivamo tutto
- Ghislaine (7/5): -
- Francesca (10/5): Piacevole sosta nel cuore di Marrakech! Sara e Mohammad semplicemente bravissimi! Disponibili e super accoglienti! - La posizione. A due passi da Jamaa el Fnaa e da tutti I souk e le attrazioni! Tutto bellissimo
- dali (8/5): Séjour au top très belle expérience - L’accueil du personnel et le petit déjeuner Le manque d’équipement ( savon , séchoir , télé)
- Iwona (6/5): - Mła obsluga.. Bliskosc placu Jamaa el Fna Bardzo maly pokoj za ta sama cenę co przestronne. Za ciemno w pokoju. Wyjsciowa cena to chwyt marketingowy. Miescil sie w brzydkiej, rozwalajacej sie uliczce
- Veronique (10/5): Allez-y les yeux fermés, lieu au top - Tout était super, la chambre et le lieu très joli, un lit super confortable, des nuits calmes, l'hospitalité de tous Nous avons tout aimé
- BEATRIZ (6/5): Un bonito sitio, pero angustioso de llegar. - Un sitio bonito Para acceder al Riad tienes que entrar por unas callejuelas muy estrechas y feas.
- Lívia (5/5): - Lokalita V izbe bola zima a cez dvere bolo všetko počuť. V umývadle takmer netiekla voda.
- Christopher (7/5): An authentic riad close to Jemaa el-Fna - Handy location for Jemaa el-Fna and all that, excellent breakfast, friendly staff, authentic riad interior, especially the ancient bedroom doors! Peaceful roof terrace with a comfortable double bed for lounging on up there! Sound travels easily in this riad. I think that's entirely due its beautiful authenticity, especially the unusual bedroom doors. Don't choose this riad if you're fussy about noise. We got used to it and were very happy by the end of 4 nights there.
- fabrice (5/5): - L emplacement
Le petit dejeuner La chambre: prise de courant avec fil apparent, lumiere ne fonctionnant pas, 1 filet d eau dans le lavabo ( obligeant a prendre le pommeau de douche)
- Rudolf (9/5): byli jsme spokojeni - skvělý personál, příjemná a chutná snídaně, pěkné a klidné prostředí v docházkové vzdálenosti hlavního náměstí
- Maria (10/5): -
- Gian Piero (10/5): Il Riad più bello della mio tour in Marocco - La posizione, le camere spaziose e ben arredate e la strutturazione interna del Riad
- Léa Guichard (7/5): Riad dépaysant - Personnel au petit soin et emplacement parfait dans la médina On a voulu prendre un bain mais l’évacuation ne le permettait pas
- borja (7/5): -
- karine (9/5): Beau Riad, authentique à 2 pas de la place djema - Très beau Riad, bon repas.
Hôtes toujours disponibles tout en restant très discrets Difficile à trouver, il faut prendre un passage au fond d’une cour en face de l’hôpital et avancer dans le labyrinthe assez loin avant de trouver le Riad
- Romina (10/5): Marrakech indimenticabile - Ottima posizione.
per godere Marrakech devi soggiornare in Riad dentro la Medina.
Facile da raggiungere.
Staff gentilissimo.
Il punto di forza di questo Riad è la colazione.
Consigliato al 100%
- wai-yii (5/5): Disappointing - The location
The rooftop terrace The staff were not around you check us in.
The breakfast
- gibert (7/5): - Idéalement placé , petit déjeuner copieux , personnel agréable
- Jordan (10/5): Always felt welcomed. Great breakfast. Mohammad the host also helped us with transport, directions and activities. I wou - The hosting was amazing and welcoming. Great location, not far from main attractions. Also the breakfast was lovely
- Maria (10/5): Wróciłabym ponownie - Świetna lokalizacja i ludzie pracujący w obiekcie. Wszyscy bardzo pomocni i chętni do pomocy. Cisza w nocy oddalone od głównego placu z 6-8 minut. Idealnie. Na pewno wrócę. Ściany są bardzo cienkie więc jeśli w nocy jest się głośno wszystko słychać. Byłam z przyjaciółką i nasze głośniejsze rozmowy były uciszane. Poza tym wszystko super.
- Natacha (10/5): Accueil chaleureux ,personnel au top ,petit déjeuner délicieux 🌸 - Accueil chaleureux ,personnel au top ,petit déjeuner délicieux 🌸
- Yves-Michele (7/5): Bon accueil du personnel - Petit déjeuner très copieux et varié L’emplacement de l’hôtel La climatisation qui était très faible
- Sandra (9/5): -
- Clélie (7/5): Un riad authentique dans son jus avec un personnel au petit soin - Le personnel est très sympa, disponible, au petit soin pour passer un agréable séjour ! Le petit déjeuner est servi avec des spécialités locales, thé marocain, tout y est !
Le riad est excentré dans un passage fait de petites ruelles accessibles seulement à pied et proche des souks et de la place Jamaa. Nous avons passé un bon séjour mais petit bémol pour les équipements et le manque de luminosité, et la terrasse sur le toit qui n'était pas entretenue.
- Tony (10/5): - L’accueil, l’emplacement et le petit déjeuner ! Rien
- eva (8/5): - Puede que un poco mas de interaccion con el personal hubiese sido interesante
- Neil (4/5): Staff were great but room overpriced so would not stay again - Breakfast and location Room very disappointing and expensive compared to where we had previously stayed. Bed was tiny.
- Catia (9/5): - Personale molto gentile e disponibile. Tutto perfetto.
- Tabea (8/5): -
- DIEGO ALEJANDRO (9/5): -
- Fernando (7/5): Riad normal, parece más de lo que luego realmente es - La ubicación y cercanía al centro Esta mal indicado y su acceso no es fácil.
- Deepak (10/5): -
- Magdalena (6/5): -
- Miedema (10/5): - Het personeel was erg vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Sarah hielp ons heel goed met het vinden van een huurauto. Er valt weinig aan te doen dat de kamers erg gehorig zijn. Mensen die laat binnenkomen verstoorden de nachtrust.
- NATHALIE (10/5): Séjour fabuleux - La gentillesse de Sarah et de Mohamed. Mohamed nous a accueilli avec un thé à la menthe à 22h c’était trop gentil..une personne exceptionnelle. Merci à tous les deux pour ce superbe séjour. Et merci aussi aux cuisinières qui préparent le petit déjeuner ! Le gâteau du matin est magnifique j’en rêve encore ! Rien
- Oumaima (10/5): -
- Britta (7/5): -
- Hans (8/5): Goed en tevreden! - De service door Mohammed omdat hij bij elke excursie met vertrek om 7.00 uur een ontbijtpakketje meegaf! Geen ramen in de kamer en je moet door smalle stille steegjes om er te komen
- Kotela (1/5): - Let me start with the location of the Riad, it is indeed close to the popular tourist attractions but the entrance is extremely hard to find. We needed to ask a random person to lead us through narrow back alleys that in turn led through some kind of contruction site. Once we arrived the guy who led us there wanted money from us. After our arrival we had communication problems with the receptionist in English. For Riad of that price I would at least expect someone speaking English. When we wanted to leave the room to go to city center we realisted we had not been given the padlock to the room which made us feel unsafe. The receptionist forgot to give it us.
Be aware that the room is really small and had a couple of problems:
- First problem is a lack of privacy, everything from inside the room can be heard outside it in the reception. The problem lies in the location of the room and doors which can’t be fully closed. The lack of bathroom doors also makes for an uncomfortable experience, because people sitting in the dining area right outside can hear you. In addition we could even hear videos that the night receptionist played on his phone during the night, which makes the privacy problem even worse and is a rude behaviour on his side
- Bathroom smells like sewage and there is no way to get rid of this. I woke up in the morning because of the sewage smell accumulated over the night and I needed to leave the room because it made me feel unwell
- The faucet is too close to the edge, so it’s very difficult to wash your hands. I had to wash hands in the shower
The room is not worth 100 euro a night. This should never be rented out to people in current state. You will be better off an entire airbnb appartment for half the price. I am dissapointed, have been lied to and denied refund. You promised me a refund, I tried to contact you via whatsapp but got no response. You didn’t even answer messages from Booking employees.
- Jose Aurelio (9/5): -
- Abdul (3/5): Not so good - Nothing There was loud banging in the night and day so we couldn't sleep. The breakfast was nothing but bread and basic butter. The location is in a maze and was super difficult. The walls are paper thin and this isn't worth the money for even a one night stay
- Martín (7/5): - La simpatía del personal
- Jorge (6/5): simpática - Simpatia e profissionalismo dos funcionários. Acesso à propriedade muito complicada. Não tem indicações. Os quartos necessitam de melhoramentos. Não tem TV
- TRAVELS (1/5): Una decepción - Nada , tuvimos que irnos. Al llegar nos entregaron la habitación , sin limpiar, con la ducha en mal estado, todo descascarillado y sucio, bajamos a recepción y nos comunicaron que no tenían más habitaciones, tuvimos que irnos a las 12 de la noche a buscar otro hotel.
Quedaron en reembolsarnos el resto de noches , pero ni lo han hecho ni contestan al telefono y los mails.
Sinceramente , nos cuesta entender cómo nos pide nuestra opinión después de no contestar ni hacer la devolución. del importe correspondiente.
No recomendamos reservar en este establecimiento.

- Purificacion (10/5): - El Riad era precioso, el trato amable del personal, la limpieza y el rico desayuno!
Camas muy comodas.
Estuvimos encantados con este lugar.
Volveremos! Nada
- Francois (1/5): - Personnel et mauvais acceuil
- André (4/5): Na een dag in de stad was de thuiskomst steeds onprettig, smalle, vieze en donkere straatjes naar de - Het ontbijt was goed maar overwegend zoete gerechten De toegang tot het hotel is zeer slecht
- sebastien (9/5): - Authentique, charmant
- PABLO (9/5): Confortable - El desayuno muy bien. Lo silencioso que es. Las camas muy cómodas. Mohamed muy atento. Pues el primer día tuve cierta desconfianza al pasar por las calles que hay que atravesar para llegar al Riad.
El tapón de la bañera no cierra bien y deja irse el agua
- Rafa (7/5): -
- robson31ie (9/5): -
- Anna (7/5): Lovely place to stay, near the market and also the beautiful gardens outside the Medina! - Great location and great breakfast! Attentive staff, who were very helpful! Expected a bit more from the accomodation for the price, though you pay for the location!
- Jorge (8/5): -
- nicolas (10/5): Lieu idéalement placé et équipe merveilleuse - Accueil fantastique merci à toutes l’équipe pour toutes vos délicates attentions. Un grand merci à Sarah pour ces précieux conseils tout au long de notre séjour Tout était parfait !
- Alba (8/5): Muy buena - Está céntrico, cerca de la calle principal y la plaza jemma. Esverdad que entras por unas callejuelas que dan un poco de mala sensación pero sin ningún problema.
Estaba todo muy limpio, el desayuno buenísimo, el personal muy atento. Merece mucho la pena. No era tan nuevo y había poca luz en el baño. Pero por lo demás, estaba súper bien.
- Diego (10/5): -
- Jorge (10/5): - Un Riad muy acogedor,muy limpio y cerca de la plaza, Abdul, Mohamed,y Amin muy amables y serviciales, pendientes de que todo fuera bien. Volveré estuvimos 11/25 Sucram,Ana, Jorge y Emi.
- Xavier (6/5): Riad basique - La proximité avec le centre de Marrakech. Logement assez bruyant la nuit dès que des voyageurs arrivent. Petit déjeuner basique et répétitif : pas de fruits, le thé n'est qu'à la demande. La prestation du hammam réservée par le riad a été décevante. Rooftop un peu à l'abandon et sale.
- Joseba (7/5): - En Personal inmejorable atento en cada momento y resolutivo!
- Marissa (10/5): -
- laetitia (10/5): Très bon séjour - Nous avons aimé l’emplacement ,et un personnel au top super accueil et toujours à l’écoute.

J'y retournerai avec plaisir. Petit déjeuner très copieux. Rien. c'est parfait comme ça.
- Valentine (10/5): - Je remercie particulièrement Mohamed pour sa bienveillance, sa gentillesse et son accueil très chaleureux :)
L’établissement ainsi que les chambres sont vraiment très jolies et propres. Le petit-déjeuner était copieux et très bon.
- Florence (7/5): -
- Alex (6/5): Aceptable - Me encantó la ubicación del alojamiento, una vez que entras por callejuelas para volver se te queda bien el camino en la memoria. El recepcionista muy majo, Abdul Iasis. Estaba muy sucio, la piscina turbia (no me bañaba ahí ni loco), el baño sucio y la ducha vieja descolchada y sucia. La puerta de entrada rota que tiene que poner un candado en la habitación, no hay ni tarjeta.
- GUSGOZA (8/5): - La ubicación era muy buena Algún trato del personal
- Thierry (8/5): Un super séjour grâce à AbdoulAzir qui s’est occupé de nous « tik tok »… - L’accueil d’Abdoul Azir, sa gentillesse et sa disponibilité. Les climatiseurs du dernier étage que ne marchent presque pas.
- rojo (10/5): - Nous avions tout aimé, tout était parfait l'endroit près de la place jemaa el fna, le petit déjeuner, l'accueil, la piscine. Nous reviendrons et recommandons à 100% Rien
- David (8/5): Riad económico, bien ubicado y personal muy amable -
- Jessica (10/5): Lovely place very close to all sight seeing locations. Friendly kind staff. - I loved everything
- Panarat (9/5): Superb -
- George (8/5): Clean comfortable, short stay in a riad with friendly staff. - The staff was very welcoming despite me arriving at 9:30pm. They offered mint tea upon arrival. Friendly and quick communication for all my questions before arrival. It was a bit challenging to find late at night in a quiet part of the Medina. Asking people as I went let me to the riad.
- Osman (10/5): Amazing stay - Rooms were amazing and beautiful property overall do recommend None
- Duolikun (10/5): Exceptional -
- Carlin (8/5): Very good -
- Vicky (3/5): Outrageously overpriced for a very, very shabby place - I feel I was mislead by some of the fabulous reviews, so I will try to be as honest as possible. I tried really hard to think about something positive to say, and I honestly couldn't find much. I think the only thing is that the room smelled less damp than some riads we have stayed at. However, this place is outrageously overpriced for what it is, even for Marrakess (see below why), and I would very much not recommend it. Having now spent two weeks all over Marocco and stayed in 9 different riads, including another one in Marrakesh, I can confidently say that this place is ridiculously overpriced for what it is. It is possible to walk to the centre, but it is not in a nice part of the town, and it is down some pretty dodgy alleys even for Marrakesh. I walked around the whole city by myself but as a female traveller I would be very nervous staying here alone. It manages to both be very remote AND very loud in the evening, as it seems be very close to some kind of nightclub? The place is overall very, very shabby (and definitely not chic). Our room was large enough, but there is only a curtain for a bathroom door, the tub and paint on the walls was peeling, the rug on the floor was so flithy that we couldn't walk on it barefoot, and there were no duvet covers on the divets (perhaps that is only a pet peeve of mine but duvets are not washed between guests and I am not keen in sleeping in other poeple's duvets). The porthole windows were literally coming off the walls. The main common area was very shabby, with bikes, cables, other debris stored around, the common area toilet was gross, the pool seemed pretty grim as well. To be clear, I wouldn't mind it all so much if this place was actually budget-friendly, but we paid 140 a night for it, and as I said, this is ridiculoursly overpriced. If you can get it at a better price in the off season, it may be worth it to save some money, but it is definitely not worth a price like that. For the same price we stayed in much much nicer places all over the country, including in a lovely place in a much better location in Marrakesh. The staff seemed friendly enough, not that they bothered very much with us - only to make sure that we pay the tourist tax before we left. The roof terrace has a nice view, but the loungers are old, dirty and coming apart so it's not really nice to hang out there.
- Osborne (9/5): A great place to stay in a central location. Perfect for exploring the delights of Marrakech. - Stayed at the Riad Chalymar for 3 nights in early March. It's in an excellent central location for exploring Marrakech. It's situated down some narrow streets and not the easiest place to find but felt very safe even when returning late at night. The were staff very helpful and attentive and breakfasts were lovely. My room was clean and tidy and the shower and facilities were good. There's some building work near the Riad but it wasn't noisy and it didn't was any disruption. However, you do have to navigate your way past them to get to the Riad.
- Charlie (7/5): Good - The staff were lovely. Sarah and Mohammad cannot be faulted. The riad was in a great location, only a 5 minute walk from the medina. The place was very clean. We stayed in the ground floor bedroom, it did tend to get noisy in the morning very early so maybe just ask for a different room. Some fruit would also be nice with breakfast and maybe fresh juice ! Otherwise we are happy with our stay
- St (8/5): The location was brilliant and the staff were very friendly and helpful. - The breakfast were lovely and the staff were all very helpful whenever we required something. The Riad is also very well located as it is closed to all places of interest within the Old Town. The room did not have a towel in the bathroom on the first morning. This was quickly rectified by the staff.
- Kim (7/5): Authentic Riad - The property was a typical Riad which we’d chosen to stay so we had an authentic experience in Marrakesh. Sarah & the staff were very friendly & couldn’t do enough for us. The bed was comfortable & shower hot. It’s convenient for the square & close to the oldest Mosque so quite central. The Riad is through a labyrinth of lanes before you reach the door. There is building work repairing the hospital I think which is at the start of the labyrinth which is very messy & doesn’t give a good impression on arrival.
- Kmhtatar (5/5): I want to start by saying that I was satisfied with the breakfast and the staff. They were friendly and helpful, which I - I liked the breakfast and the staff who were very kind. I was not satisfied with the bedroom because it was cold, and the toilet had no door. The bed was small, and the sheets were never changed, even though the bed was made. The bedding felt like a parachute and was very uncomfortable, with constant rustling from the plastic material that made it hard to sleep. Additionally, the room was old and poorly insulated, which meant that noises from guests going downstairs for breakfast, especially after 8:30 AM, were very loud.
- Lauris (10/5): Exceptional -
- Walter (8/5): Very good - great location near the center, good breakfast the price for the room is very high for this price I expect more
