Fabulous location, close to Jem El fna, koutubia and the souks. 10 mins walk to Bacha Cafe, secret garden, El Fenn etc if you’re interested . Staff are great, rooms are very clean. The riad is very peaceful, lovely rooftop terrace.

Amazing. Staff, room, breakfast, location, organization

Keep in mind that this is a Riad (Geusthouse) and not a hotel. These buildings are old. Overall, we had a really pleasant stay for our 3 nights and would highly recommend it.

We spent hours looking for the right Riad and now having stayed at Riad Maialou, I know this was the best choice! Really excellent location, so quiet. In the heart of the Medina. The "small" room we booked was far bigger than we imagined. Keep in mind there are lots of stairs everywhere in Marrakesh, and this Riad is no exception. Definitely book your arrival airport transfer with the Riad directly. We were met at Arrivals on landing in Marrakesh and guided to the hotel on foot from just outside the Medina gate. You have to walk approx 5min to get to the Riad as no cars are allowed inside. Navigating this if you have never been to Marrakesh would be a nightmare, so we are definitely happy to have had the pre-arrangee transfer. It was also really affordable and we paid at the Riad on arrival.

Reaching the Riad is quite difficult, not mapped properly, going through dodgy alleys with garbage, not in line with the " premiumness" of the accommodation. As with all riads, you have to climb narrow, short staircases with your luggage, and the room did not offer a fridge.

Beautiful, renovated room, following tradition, friendly stuff and good breakfast. Nice common areas to hangout

Great central location and a hidden gem of the city, when you walk through the doorway you are great by a wonderful sight of orange trees, warm welcome by staff and a fabulous rooftop terrace to relax on and enjoy the sunrise, the bedrooms are truly wonderful giving you a unique stay

I think a little map that shows you how to get there from Bab Laksour would be very helpful!

Sala was so friendly and helpful, bringing us tea when we arrived about 8pm. As everyone says about all the riads, and even thought I had made a little map, hard to find when you first arrive. We stayed in their tent on the roof, which was great, much larger than a normal room, bed was very comfortable, shower was excellent. I was worried the "tent" might be a little cold, we were there in early March, but the temperature was perfect and there's an air con/heating unit if needed. It's actually a wooden box, but draped like a tent inside. Very cosy and there is only one small window with shutters and a curtain, so nice and dark in the morning, no waking with the dawn. Close to everything.

Superb riad in the city centre with lovely staff. Can be a little hard to find, one or two extra signs would be nice. But the staff made up for it and were super supportive. The tent room is nice but slightly awkward if you're with friends as there is no seperation between the bathroom and the beds, just a sheet....

Nothing - it was all good!

Breakfast plentiful, Sallah was amazing - a credit to the riad - gave us tea and helped sort a taxi, beautiful place . Lots of reviews about being tricky to find or feel unsafe but we just asked when got close. Didn’t feel unsafe, the medina is full of little alleys - once inside the riad it opens into a gorgeous courtyard / orangery !

Everything was 10/10

The staff was amazing and always helpful. The property was beautiful and well kept, clean, and had a great terrace, ideal for a family vacation. I must mention the fulfilling breakfast, which was fresh and delicious.

Nothing to say that is negative 🙂

The Riad is stunning, but the staff make it. So hospitable. The food is fab. It is an oasis in the busyness of the city.

The location is tricky it has alleys, and dark to walk in the night. We felt unsure to go out at night not for safety but afraid to get lost (probably a nice adventure for adults but not in my case). Anyways we moved easily navigating using google maps. Second day we've learnt the path so we went out confidently. I really advice to get the transportation from/to airport with the hotel.

The place is very authentic. Is at the heart of the Medina, 5 mins walking to the place Jamaa el Fna, Zoco and main Museums. The best part is the service. It is really a home far of home. Khaled (I hope to have taken well his name) was like a big brother for me. He was very kind, helpful and fun. Breakfasts was awesome and abundant. Rooms were very confortble and big. My parents, husband, child and me were very happy at this place.

The breakfast service was slow and haphazard. We had two adults and two children yet they brought out only three of everything so we had to ask for more each morning. It wasn't a very large breakfast and left us hungry for more.

Location was amazing, right in the Medina. Room was lovely with a very comfy bed and the shower was excellent. The staff were very welcoming and fussed over our two young boys all the time which was lovely.

Amazing location in the heart of the Medina. Facilities were great and very clean. Riad beautifully decorated. The staff and service were fantastic, nothing was too much trouble. So friendly! We ate breakfast daily and evening meal once and were all fantastic. Very close to the main square and the main points in Marrakesh. Have been to the city numerous times and this is by far my favourite Riad and will be back for sure! First class.

Breakfasts were ok but too much plain cake/ bread. Had to ask for omelette. More variety with eggs ( boiled or scrambled), fruit and cheese would be better than all the cakes/ pancakes/ bread. On our 2nd day all wood was varnished around the riad, including our room inside and out. The vanish smell was strong and not good to breathe in all day and night and the wood/ handles etc were sticky for 2 days. No warning was given and workmen in our room without our permission. This was not good in our opinion. The smell was quite toxic.

Excellent location for souks etc. Staff friendly and efficient. Rooms comfortable and basic. Hammam/ Spa afternoon was the highlight!

This experience was absolutely amazing! Staying in Morocco at the Riad was incredible, and Youness, who took care of us during our stay, did an outstanding job. He explained everything to us in detail and made sure we were well looked after. The whole experience was simply wonderful. Highly recommended!

Honestly, our guests had nothing negative to say about their stay at Riad Maialou. Everything was perfect, from the welcoming and helpful staff to the beautifully designed, comfortable rooms and the convenient location near Jemaa el-Fna Square. They couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and we highly recommend this riad for anyone seeking an authentic and relaxing stay in Marrakech.

We booked Riad Maialou for our guests for a two-night stay, and they absolutely loved it. The riad has a beautiful, authentic Moroccan atmosphere with stunning architecture that made them feel immersed in the local culture. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, even arranging an early airport transfer, which made their departure smooth and stress-free. The location is perfect, just a short walk from Jemaa el-Fna Square in the heart of the Medina, making it easy to explore the vibrant surroundings. The rooms were incredibly comfortable and relaxing, offering a peaceful escape after busy days of sightseeing. Our guests especially loved the breakfast at the riad, which was fresh, delicious, and the perfect start to each day. Overall, they had an amazing experience and were very happy with their stay at Riad Maialou. We highly recommend it!

Staff when we checked in didn’t know English but through sign language made up a second bed in our room which was set up for a couple. I really believe it was totally safe but it is at the end of an alley so quiet but also just a little concerning that they answer their door quickly, which they did.

Nice rooftop, room was clean and bathroom was nicest out of everywhere we stayed, 7 places. Serene inside.
