    Very hospitable host, great value for money, but noisy at night/somewhat intimidating neighbourhood.

    The location is about 20-30 min walk from Souks and the main square, and the neighborhood could feel a little intimidating: teenagers telling you all the time that you cannot go here and there because you are not Muslim. I have been told several times not to go back to Riad because it is near mosque and it's a "forbidden area" for tourists. Obviously, that is not true, but it was annoying to be confronted by this youth pretty much every time I walked to/from the souks. Also, it was very noisy at night, until around 12/1 AM. But that can be the case in the rest of Medina.

    Mohamed was an exceptionally hospitable host. He has gone above and beyond to make me feel welcomed to the property. I arrived quite late, and it was not possible to get any food or water at that time from outside. He made me some tea and warm break and cheese, which was a lovely and much appreciated gesture.

    The staff must both let you in and out of the riad, this was not as bad as it sounds but we did have to wait a few times.

    The staff are very friendly and somewhat helpful,however a language barrier did hinder us a bit. The riad is away from the loud streets and tucked away in a nice corner. The room and bathroom were kept clean as well. The shared bathroom was kept tidy and clean, despite it being shared. Beds were comfortable and sheets were clean. The location (most important IMO) was a bit of a walk but was easy enough to find. The riad is in a more residential area which made it feel more comfortable because people were not hasseling us to buy junk. The manager also shared great tips and helped us book an amazing excursion to mourzuga at a heavily discounted price (highly recommend booking the experience via the manager). The AC worked well and after a long day in the main square, was highly appreciated. I would book again upon my next trip to Marrakesh.

    We didn't have keys to get in and out, so we had to rely on the host to let us in which I thought was a little strange.

    It is not so clean. Owner needs one day to make some changes in that way, to buy desinfection and toalet paper, wash the carpet… It could be easy huh?

    Location was ok, breakfast was delicious but expensive, and the biggest plus is going to Duvan, a guy who works there. He was so kind and friendly. ❤️

    The location is not easy to find and there were always people from the area trying to get money off you. Shared toiled should be looked after more often.

    The staff were very helpful and kind they also help us to get to the Ríad since this is five minute walk from the parking. The room it self it was small but it was perfect because of the time we were outside.

    Riad Amely was very worth it. The host made our experience much better. He was very helpful, helped us get everything we needed like a SIM card, water and answered any questions we had. He even walked with us out to our taxi the first couple times to show us the way. The rooms and beds were clean.

    The light fixtures had been removed from the wall. The floor and rug were very dirty. The sockets to plug things in and charge your phone are behind the headboard, so you need to remove the headboard and sleep with it away from you if you want to charge something while you sleep. This is easy enough because its not actually attached to the bed. The location is awkward to get to each night if you come from the medina. Although there is an easy way in and out to outside the wall a five minute walk north. The owner grabbed a child from outside by the throat and shouted at him after the child was very helpful to us. We did not complete our stay here and checked out on the 2nd of 6 nights.

    Only a short walk into the medina. The woman and young man were excellent staff.

    Location wise was a bit far from the streets (10-15min by foot), the area was scary. We got followed by kids asking questions and money everytime we went back to the Riad. The room it self did not appear so degraded in the photos as it is in reality. Walls need repair, sockets coming out, most of the light bulbs are fused, there is no good outside lighting coming in the room, there is a constant foul smell coming from the shower drain (which we needed to cover and close the door to prevent it), the toilet seat was loose. No amenities were provided as well as when we arrived (later that expected) no towels or toilet were ready. Only after we came back in the evening (only 1 was given at the time). Hygiene wise it was not good at all. Breakfast was not included in our package, however the staff asked us what time we wanted it the next day without informing beforehand how much it would be. We then asked and it is 5€. We cancelled by our personall preference. We did not enjoy Marrakech...

    We liked the staff which were nice and helpful. Also the mint tea was amazing everytime.

    More plants and decorations in the Riad is needed . An electrical lock for the main door with digital code so the Guests don't need to a human to open or close the door .

    The place is beautiful and clean, it needs few touches here and there but overall it was very nice , fatah the guy who checked me in was a great guy and we became friends, the owner Abdulrahim is very nice and hospitable , the location is a bit far from the city center but very easy to get a cab to the djemaa el fena , also took two of the tours that are provided by the owner , one to Oricka and one to Al Souira and it was great too , I had very nice stay thank you .

    The sheets and bath towel was stained. The bathroom smelt very bad and was very dirty. There was a hole in the wall where a window should have been, meaning lots of mosquitos came in.

    A kind staff member showed me the way through the medina at 6am to meet my taxi for the airport.

    To enter and exit require you to wait for someone to let you in and out. Several times we were delayed, the longest waiting 15 minutes to be able to leave because no one was around with a key.

    The location is a bit out of the way but a pleasant walk to the main square.

    Some hand soap in the bathroom would be good.

    Our stay here was faultless. The riad was beautiful and we had a lovely welcome when we arrived. Room was decent size and had everything as described. We didn't have breakfast but it was available at 50MAD per person. It is located more within the local neighbourhood of the medina but we found this to be a bonus to our trip to see a little of Marrakech away from the tourist centre.
