- God location God breakfast
- The staff were all nice. The breakfasts were good.
- The riad is beautiful and clean , very large bathroom in our suite , great location in the Medina , breakfast on the rooftop was delicious ! The staff was great here and especially Ishmael he was so helpful !!
Cons -
- Not close to the car parking.
- The location was not very convenient for me, because it had a walking distance from the main road.
- The nearest taxi stand is a 7-minute walk. And you need to pass all the dirt and loudness of the market.The surrounding area is a busy market, so expect lots of dirt and noise. The rooms are humid, the water pressure in the shower is extremely weak, and the mattress and blankets are of low quality.

The room was very well organised, it has a good size. Bed was very comfortable, the decoration was amazing. Ismael was the best service provider. He was amazing from day one. The breakfast was so good and full of delicious food.

We were here for 3 nights and the Riad lived up to all its great reviews. The breakfast each morning was superb and set us up for the day to explore the medina and various sights. Ishmael was a great host and arranged our taxi transfer to and from the airport, with a porter to guide us to the riad. He was always available with advice and suggestions if you need anything.
This Riad was very well located, very nicely designed and very well maintained. Ismaeil and his team were brilliant. Ismaeil was very nice to us. Upon our arrival, he told us all we needed to know. Gave us all very important hints and provided his number to us to call if and when required. He always opened the door with a smile. His attention to detail around the Riad was stunning. Having fresh roses around the Riad and in the room and remembering what we liked and ensuring our comfort. His team was very polite and helpful.Overall, it was a great place to stay with a great staff. Definitely recommend it.
If you want to be in the heart of the souq, this location is perfect. It’s quiet, has a nice terrace, and the breakfast is decent. The staff is responsive and helpful.

The riad was beautiful and clean, right in the medina. Someone met us from the taxi to guide us through the souk which was really helpful! The room was stunning, and the rooftop terrace was beautiful - you could see across to the Atlas mountains. Delicious breakfast and dinners, we ate there a few times!
Absolutely amazing Riad: must stay in Marrakesh. Ismael - the host - is super nice and will make sure you get everything you want and need. For breakfast, you have a lot of options and will be served at the rooftop. The rooftop is sunny all day. The rooms are super clean and large. The location is great, in the middle of all souks and super central.
Nothing - everything was perfect
ismael was truly a savor with our last minute reservation.he set up all in few seconds ..helped and made our night splendid.
The building and how it’s furnished. The location in the middle of the medina close to all important sites. The daily complete breakfast offered. The value for the money. All the services offered: Mint tea on demand, bottled water, transfers from/to airport, etc. Ismael (manager) availability to answer questions and offer suggestions.
Very small, only that it doesn’t accept credit cards to pay for city taxes and extra. A tiny insignificant price to pay for such a wonderful guest house.
The staff were very helpful and friendly. They upgraded my rooms on the day where it was available.The rooms were clean and cleaned every day.The location was good if you wanted to be near the medina.
There's no taxis available nearby so in that sense the location isn't great, it's a 7 minute walk to where the taxis will drop you off.They could make use of the terrace better by serving drinks and refreshments at their bar. There weren't any staff on the terrace whenever I went, however that's great if you like privacy.
Staff (Ismael) was super friendly and helpful. The room was excellent and the breakfast was delicious
From the moment we walked through the door we were looked after, and the sense of peace within the space was so welcome after the hustle and bustle of the medina outside. Everything we needed was provided, and the room was spotless and really comfortable, with beautiful original Moroccan decor and plenty of light. Like it says in the name, technically this was a dar rather than a riad because although the open space in the middle had a fountain and courtyard the trees were in giant pots rather than in the ground - but this technicality made no difference to our stay! The roof garden is currently closed for repairs (Nov 2023) but the courtyard and lounges were all available and very peaceful. The whole riad was full of original decor and art both old and new, and the manager helped us with everything we needed. The location is great - just around the corner from the beautiful Ben Youssef medersa, and a fairly straightforward 15min walk through the souks to Jemaa el-Fnaa (the main square). There are several nice restaurants and rooftop cafes in the street outside.
It took us a while to locate our driver for the airport transfer - look for a sign with a picture of a palm tree, and make sure the name of the riad is exactly right.
The host was extremely helpful when it comes to showing us offline maps (smartphone app) which actually work not only in Marrakech Medina but also in Fez, Rabat and El Jadida. So this was extremely helpful. We were greeted with mint tea upon arrival (around midnight) and shown to our rooms decorated in a magnificiant moroccan style.
More smiles would be nice :).
The staff was amazing! Very helpful and attentive. Answered my questions and provided me with ways to navigate the medina with less stress.
It was a little difficult to get to but that can be taken care of by accepting the transportation services the hotel suggest. Also a menu of food provided would be a great addition.
Everything was perfect, especially stuff was very helpful. We enjoined a lot everything from the location till the interior design and superb breakfasts.
Unfortunately there was a one problem I discovered after I left Morocco. I booked this accommodation 2 months in advance and I paid for it via booking web side. Then I was charged for it Riad Al Hambra again. Now I'm having difficulties with booking to refund my double payment, even if I have am email from booking with confirmation of the first payment and a recipe I received in Riad for the second payment, both for the same accommodation.
Great breakfast and the staff was super friendly and helpful. Helped us book a taxi on the way back to the airport. Location is so good and central, behind the iconic Ibn Youssef School.
No pool so it would be nice to have that in the height of summer.
Room, style Rad Raid, house type hotel, breakfast staff,... reasonable price
Unfortunately outside of the hotel, Medina itself.All those old motorcycle smoke, riding fast and you have to be very careful,... distraction by them and have to be careful all the time.
The location of the riad right in the medina meant that a quick walk was enough to reach nice restaurants, the souks and several interesting tourist sites. The internet free app that Ismael loaded up on our phones was the great and stopped us getting (too) lost.
Don't be suprised to get woken by the call to prayer. Just relax and doze off before heading down to a fantastic breakfast.
