Cozy, family run riad

While perhaps not the most swanky or modern hotels, this family run riad was the most welcoming of the hotels we stayed at in Marrakech, with more of a B&B vibe than a traditional hotel. If you are looking for comfortable, fuss free base to explore Marrakech from, this is ideal. Caveat: the room doors were not the most secure and there is no safe in the room, but there are so few guests, and the riad is constantly manned with the front door locked, so we didn't feel that security was an issue.

Welcoming Riad, in the middle of Medina. Quiet somehow. Not easy taxi access, so we did walk with our luggages through the medina. Walking distance to souk and bahia palace, and all the other attractions. We stayed only one night, but i would recommend if you want to have a flavour of the old medina.

Cute little find in the heart of Morocco! I've never stayed at a riad before, but the hosts were super welcoming and accommodating. The only downside of the stay was the bathroom. The water kept fluctuating from super hot (I burned my hands when washing them once) and super cold when I showered. The water pressure was also really low which made it a bit difficult to shower but other than that, it was a great place and beautiful! The location was a bit alarming at first but we ended up feeling super safe!

Magigal place with beautiful tram

Our stay was great from start to finish. Elias welcomed us with tea and made sure we started to relax straight away. We had questions, he had the answers.we had just to say what we needed and he organised it for us. I also highly recommend the hammam and massage provided in the property. The 2 ladies who looked after us with breakfast were so lovely 😍 Oh and the dinner we had at the property was the best Tajine 👌 in all 7 days in Marrakesh. I would highly recommend a stay with Elias and the team.

Charming classic Riad.

Our stay at Riad Elias was very good. The owner/ manager was very welcoming and friendly. The room was clean and spacious. The sun deck on the roof was great for getting away from the hustle and bustle of the Medina for a bit of sun and relaxation. The breakfast was delicious and very comprehensive. All staff were extremely helpful. The location of the Riad is good with a 5 minute walk to the Jemaa el-Fnaa square and very close to lots of the markets and souks. The bed in the room was extremely hard but did not take away from the sleep quality to be honest. When you check in, you are given a key for the room but not for the front door of the Riad so you are reliant on knocking and a member of staff to let you in. Overall, the Riad oozes the Marrakesh culture and Charm. It is stunning once inside and I would 100% stay again if returning to Marrakech. We had an issue with the shower not working correctly which was quickly resolved by the staff which was great.

Very well centred riad in the heart of Marrakech. The riad is located quite close to most of the city attractions and can be easily reached via foot. The host/staff, everyone was very lovely and welcoming. The owner gave us tips on how to get around and to avoid getting scammed which helped us since it was our first time visiting Marrakech. Overall very pleasant stay, sad to be back to reality 😭😭

Great location in the heart of the old town (Medina) area of Marrakesh. Easy walk to the Souks and lots of the nearby attractions. The old town is a bit of a maze, but google maps led me right to the alley leading to the Riad. Riad was beautiful inside - a nice calm respite from the busy world all around. Very kind and helpful staff. Breakfast was enjoyable. Would absolutely stay here again.
