Riad Simon is a perfect choice in every way! The riad is in a great location, and the Marrakesh atmosphere hits you the moment you step outside. The main square is close by, and you’re literally in the heart of the Medina. The place itself is clean, comfortable, and beautiful. There’s also a large rooftop terrace. Simon, the owner, is a very friendly, kind, and welcoming person. He’s very flexible, you can talk to him about anything, and he’s always ready to help. On top of that, he has a cat called “Sisi” who, surprisingly really good at playing football 😀 I can recommend this accommodation to anyone. Naturally, since it’s in the middle of the Medina, it can sometimes be noisy, but that’s true for all of Marrakesh, as the city lives 24/7. So you really can’t go wrong with this place—it’s a perfect option for solo travelers, couples, or even families.

Lovely little riad near the main square. They have a really friendly little cat who is just adorable. The host was great and printed our boarding passes for the airport too. I was worried it might be noisy as it's on a main street but we didn't have any issues.

Shower needed better cleaning

The host was very very nice. He worked hard to make sure we enjoyed our stay. The bedroom was clean and had two beds. The shower in the bathroom was dirty. I picked up slippers to solve the problem. The terrace where breakfast was served was lovely and the included breakfast was good. Out the front door you were in the middle of all the action. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

It's not really a dislike, but I mentioned to Simon that I had got a fright when the people above me dropped something heavy. He immediately offered me a different room and made sure that I was comfortable. You can hear people talking and moving about, but it's not bad. The bed was a little firm but still comfortable.

Right in the middle of the bustling Medina, you open the door into a tranquil space. I was welcomed with a cold drink and waited for a short while for my air-conditioned room to get cleaned, which was then done daily. Breakfast was big and delicious and served on the room terrace with the cat and a tortoise for company. Hot water and toiletries on the compact bathroom, and this is the first place where I've had a safe in my room.

Riad Simon was an oasis amidst the chaos of the medina. From the moment we arrived Simon and his team could not have done more for us, even Ceecee the cat was welcoming and happy to share an afternoon siesta. The accommodation was spotless with comfortable beds, a great shower and lovely breakfasts. Simon arranged a day trip for us and gave recommendations for places to eat. We will definitely be returning.

The bathroom would benefit from upgrading

Excellent location in the medina area, Riad charming traditional property

A little noisey due to being in the centre of the Madina, needs a sign to advise other guests to respect sleeping guests on roof top. Children playing out at 3am woukd be good if someone could go out and ask them to leave but this was only the 1 night.

Warm welcome, clean and tidy. Breakfast plentiful, simon & his staff go above & beyond.

This Riad is a calm oasis in the middle of a vibrant and chaotic city, which you will encounter walking in just the middle of the Medina. Its small door hidden in the middle of a crowded alley would make it difficult to expect to have a silent and comfortable place just behind it. You will stay in a picturesque room and with a morning breakfast in the terrace is an amazing way to start the day and the staff is extremely friendly

Room cleaned every day, roof top garden, breakfast served till around 12.30. Plenty of hot water. TV channels is most languages, even ordered us a taxi from door to airport. Excellent hotel.

The staff Simon was very welcoming & friendly. Couldn't do enough for you.

I can't complain at all. The price was decent - the hospitality wonderful and it's located in the craziness of the Medina. Breakfast was very filling and served with grace.

Riad Simon was a lovely place to stay in Marrakech. Its in the Medina, a short walk away from the famous square but easy to find as it's on a main alley. Simon and his staff are so welcoming - while allowing you your privacy. My friends stayed at a Riad which looked much more luxurious online but felt a little soulless when you got there. Riad Simon is small with a roof terrace for breakfast and to relax. Simon told me that he wanted his guests to feel at home and I certainly did. He was very helpful - he helped me buy a SIM card from a local seller when I lost part of the one I bought at the airport and printed off boarding passes the day l left. Nb get to the airport in plenty of time with printed boarding cards - the wait to get through to the gate is unbelievably long.

For me, personally, beds were very hard. I 100% appreciate beds are a personal preference. For me, they were hard, but for others they could be perfect, so this isn't a negative. It is my opinion.

For us, the location was great. Very central and in the heart of everything. The riad itself was so cute. I loved it. Simon and his staff were lovely. So friendly and helpful.

It was perfect!

The location couldn’t be better, you are right in the centre of the medina, yet when you enter the riad you feel transported to a place of tranquility. The rooftop terrace is a beatiful spot as well. Simon went above and beyond to help and advise us of good local spots, he is a great host.
