We had an issue the first night we were there in that our air conditioner wasn’t cool enough. The next day however Fatiha and Hassan were standouts in customer service. They came to us and got us a new room which was much nicer and coordinated free massages for all of us. Our flight didn’t leave till 6.pm the next day and they let us use an unoccupied room to shower and nap before our flight. Fatiha and Hassan were exceptional in treating us well. They were the epitome of excellent customer service. The owners too were great empowering their employees to help us! Thank you Fatiha and Hassan for a great trip

What a beautiful oasis of a hotel! Down twisting turning cobblestone narrow walkways, is a well-lit entrance to a beautiful, blessedly peaceful Riad. We were received with hot mint tea and a comfortable place to sit while checking in. Our hostess was charming and carefully explained info about our stay and the area. Our room was wonderful, spacious. Loved the rooftop terrace! IF you want to stay in the Medina and also have walking access to newer hotel area, this is a great place to stay!

Great service, owners should be proud!

Just a few little bits need looking at (on the terrace mainly) and it would have been a solid 10/10...
Local area is great, but getting to the Riad takes some getting used to and the smell on a hot day in the alleys make for an unpleasant walk home but that is out of the Riads controll.
Grab a massage while you are there... they are great.
We had a problem with our AC, reported it to reception and with in about an hour there was an engineer looking at it. Service was second to none and we would be happy returning.

As far as location goes, it is a little difficult to find at first, but once you find it, it is in a great location for the Medina. The price and the size of the room is a sore point. We have stayed in riads with similar great location but that are only $30-$40 a night with much bigger rooms. This room was quite quaint. We also felt that their food and breakfast option was overpriced for what we have gotten elsewhere.

Do not expect to find the place without using their transfer service as its deep in the alleys.

We was looking forward to having a good meal here after reading review's, but considering you order your food many hours in advanced as its cooked fresh we were very disappointed to the point it was the worst meal we had in Marrakech.
I wouldn't say don't stay here but i wouldn't recommend that you do either.

I'd go back

Marrakech is a place like no other however it is amazing and a wonderful experience. The residents are funny and kind but the people in the souks have to make a living and will try and sell to you. That's just the way it is.
The city is one of the cleanest I've ever been in; better than many European cities.
As for the Riad it was lovely. The staff were attentive and helpful. The room I had was one of the largest with access to a roof area. To be fair I didn't use this much but did use the larger main roof terrace which was great.
The bed was soooooo comfy!
It is hard to find, as is everything in the city, so take up Ramal's offer of the taxi from the airport. The food in the Riad is great but there are some good restaurants around too. We also used the Riad's Hammam and would happily recommend it too.
All in all a great experience and smashing service from all the staff at Riad Al Rimal.

The room was not as shown online and was *very* small for 2 people to be sharing. There was no door to the bathroom and my wife could hear far more than she ever would like to have heard... We know what a Riad vibe should be like, but the size of the room was not acceptable regardless of the good deal that we received. The other rooms at the Riad seemed like a nice size but when we asked if we could change the room unfortunately they didn't have anything available. I cannot comfortably recommend this Riad to anyone due to the risk of getting the cupboard sized room we were in.

Lovely but overpriced for what you get

This was not the best stay for us. Compared to the other Riads we stayed in it was harder to find. The windows to the rooms have full length shutters so little privacy, (I know this is the style but others had top and bottom shutters so you could still see to get dressed) The air con didn't actually turn on. The breakfast was just OK with many parts costing extra that were standard in all the other Riads. We used the hammam and had a massage which were both wonderful, the ladies are amazing. However the massage was down a few stairs from the main lobby, just behind a curtain which meant the group of French guests being loud didn't make my relaxing massage particularly relaxing. Communication was OK, most staff were lovely however on arrival we requested dinner for the following evening. As we were up and out early we forgot to actually order our specific food that morning, which meant when we got back there was no food and no offer of putting anything together (another Riad kindly provided cheese bread and olives one evening we were back late and exhausted after an excursion.) They made an error in our first reciept saying the room was an extra €100 per night! Check carefully. This place was still more than all our other Riads and had the smallest room with little else to offer.

Disappointed

I just got home and unpacked from my stay at Riad Al Rimal. The day I checked out I left my bag in the management office accidentally unlocked, before my flight home that evening. The night before I pulled a 50 USD bill from my petty cash in the bag to exchange for dinner. When I unpacked at home, all the 100, 50, and 20 USD bills I had in the bag were replaced by a handful of 1 bills in each envelope. I have no doubt this happened by a member of the Riad staff when I left my bag in the management office, as my bag was with me at all time after I left and I did not notice the theft until I got home and started unpacking.

Authentic Riad

Situated in the maze of the 'Medina' located close to all local facilities and nearby restaurants. The Staff are amazing they will help you with anything, informative and pleasant. However the room we had was quite small and couldn't really have the curtains opened as there would be no privacy? Although they feature a pool you can't swim in it? they do however have a lovely roof terrace with Jacuzzi. We had dinner on the roof terrace which was amazing the meal was exquisite so even if you don't fancy staying here try booking a dinner on the terrace. They don't have TV, Kettle facilities or a phone in the room either? so you have to go down to reception every time you need something so sometimes you are going without Tea etc.... If you would like to experience traditional and not luxury this is the ideal place to try out. Quite authentic and some nice features.

We would highly recommend their taxi service from the airport. Maps won’t be able to navigate you to the riad, and their drivers just walk you down.
The rooftop bar didn’t serve alcohol during our stay but a variety of other drinks. We also enjoyed the massage offered.

Beautiful riad near the main suqare

About 5 minutes walk from the square so it's practically near to everything around Marrakesh. This riad is beautiful with a lot of courtyard and a nice rooftop to escape the noise of the Medina. Staff was helpful to contact our day tour operator. Only drawback if I wanted to nitpick is that they don't offer free breakfast, wi-fi is on the slower side and you have to pass several alleyways to reach the place. But still would love to stay here again.

Riad from a movie set

Beautiful Riad placed in the center of Old Médina. I would recommend getting a taxi with the hotel at arrival since the Riad is difficult to locate since the car can only get you so far into the city. We had a delicious dinner for the first night at the Riad but decided to get food outside the hotel for the other nights since food was very cheap and reachable in the main square. Rooms and location were beautiful but WiFi never seemed to stay working for any of our 4 devices which was frustrating, even with all 3 modems. No TVs in room and jacuzzi on top terrace which was nice. All staff is very pleasant. Would stay again.

Good centrally located riad

The Riad is a number of old buildings on either side of a \"derb\" or alleyway, joined together above the derb, which have been renovated over recent years to a good standard.Apart from our first night, we ate out, so I can't really comment on the food.

The Riad has a number of separate rooms all of which appear to be furnished to a similar standard - king size/double bed, settee, coffee table and en suite. They are comfortable enough, but not designed to be stayed in for any length of time, obviously. There may be twin rooms but we didn't see any in our section.

There is a bar serving a limited range of wine and non-aloholic beer, plus soft drinks, but we never saw anyone staffing it and the drinks, as you would expect with a place of this size, are far more expensive than 5 minutes away. The only TV is situated here as well. If you want alocohol, there is only a handful of places to buy in the Medina - the new town is the place to go for bars and clubs, if that's your holiday.

All in all, we felt it was good value for where it was and would probably revisit if we went back to Marrakech. In the derbs, be prepared to see some rubbish and also lots of cats! The staff here are helpful and friendly. There are other faclities, such as the hammam, massage and a small gym and swimming pool, which we didn't use, which might appeal to you.

Quite expensive for a Riadh with nothing special

We hesitated before taking this Riad, it was well rated on expedia but more expensive than the others, after checking the photos we went for it, we selected a room that costed us 70 USD / night, arriving there it was the smallest room we ever saw, we were proposed to upgrade and pay the equivalent of 15 USD extra / night, and we did, at the end 4 nights costed us around 375 USD incl Tax, 93 USD / night for a riadh !!! same price of all inclusive hotels in the city, price was not the only bad surprise we had, the room did not have a TV and when asking how comes there s no TV in the room, the answer was that: it s like this, we don't have TVs in the rooms :) 4 nights in a riadh without a TV were really boring, and finally and this is the worst, toiletries like shampoo, shower gel, toilet papers were not provided daily and when I talked to the reception saying how come since our arrival we got one bottle of shampoo for two people, the guy was nice and provided us more explaining that it s not on daily basis that they shall provide this, so the conclusion, 93 USD / night for a room without a TV, and a minimum of confort in a city where you can easily get a nice hotel for 50 USD and where going everywhere will cost you 20 dirhams, was not the best choice we could do, one good point about this hotel is the service, staff are very nice and helpful, we were fasting and they managed to prepare our breakfast every day at 3 am, Thanks for that.

Why the good reviews? Mysterious.

Although it's true the decor was tasteful and the reception warm, I couldn't stand this place from the minute I arrived. Here's why:
The place is located in an a pedestrian area, so you're on your own to get your luggage there. I had one roller, but it was still a pain.
The hotel is located in a winding cave-like labyrinth populated by retired men and starving cats. It's dark, it smells, I Hated it.
I reserved a \"junior suite\" . They had managed to (pointlessly) cram two chairs and a coffee table in it, but it was claustrophobicically small-- no more than 20 centimeters between me and something else no matter where I stood.
The room faced a small courtyard. To have natural light, you had to open your drapes and wave at your neighbors. For privacy you had to live in the dark 24/7

Nice Riad close to Jemma El Fna Square

Arrived late with a help of a porter, we were able to find this, otherwise it would have been a feat! even with GPS, iMap, google map...etc. but that is not the riad fault, its just merely a fact of life within the Medina. It is really MAZE like without proper street signs. Faht welcomed us and served us amazing mint tea, showed us our room and directed us to the square. The room was a decent size, clean, and comfortable with all the basic amenities and air conditioned! The pool is really more of like a dipping area, don't think you'll be doing laps on it. The rooftop area was very nice for breakfast, my only qualms was there is a very nice and inviting settee/lounge, however it was littered with bird feathers and bird droppings, otherwise it would have been a great place to relax. Breakfast was great! The riad had many lounges to relax or if you need a quiet space outside of your room. Would stay again!

Had a wonderful stay here, the traditional Moroccan Riyad is breathtaking and a true experience to be had. It's not easy to find if you've never wandered the mazes of tunnels in the old city but once you get there you're literally on the doorstep of all the action, without any of the noise. The pool and jacuzzi on the roof as well as the breakfast was superb. The staff was so helpful and polite unlike the folks you meet in the marketplace (!) I would stay here again. The only issue I had was the air conditioner was not sufficient but then again it was much hotter than usual when i was staying there and i had a double room. Also note that you have to ring the doorbell each time to gain access to the hotel...I would definitely give them a try.

Excellent location to visit the Medina

My son and I thoroughly enjoyed our 3 day/3 night stay in the Riad al Rimal. It is just a 3 minute walk from the Place Jemaa El Fna which allowed us to return during the day to rest. The breakfasts were very good with fresh fruit, bread and yogut. Our one dinner on the rooftop was also very good. We availed ourselves of the roof top jacuzzi in the evenings after spending the day walking around or after a camel ride organized by the Riad. We appreciated the small touches and the helpfulness of all the staff. I would definitely suggest that one take advantage of the Riad's ability to arrange transfer from/to the airport to their location as it is not easy to find and not directly accessible by taxi. The cost is not much more that catching a taxi by oneself. All in all, the atmosphere promoted relaxation and escape from the stress of daily life and allowed my son and I to enjoy a very special small vacation with each other.

The hotel was clean and the breakfasts were great. I ate out for most dinners and there are many good restaurants close by...the hotel reception recommended Les Fleurs which was only 3 blocks away and it was awesome.

Nice rooms in a very nice Riad. The roof top terrace was very nice in the afternoon sun. Close to Jeema El Fnaa, thereby perfectly located!

Great Riad Experience

This is a beautiful little Riad right next to the action in Marrakech. Definitely very good value for money. Clean, staff were exceptionally helpful & nice to us and breakfast was delicious.

Nice Hotel close to the old market and Jama Elfana

Nice hotel close to the Old Market and Jama El Fana. Very nice and helpful staff. Rooms are good. Bathrooms need some cartons, but acceptable. My wife and I enjoyed our stay and we requested to extend for one more night, but the hotel was fully booked.

A great riad after a maze of alleys

I loved this riad. The people working there were really great and helped us understand how to find the riad (you have to go through a maze of dark alley's in order to find the riad). Overall it was a great experience, although I do think if I were planning another trip, I would only stay in a riad one night, and would want to experience something a little more leisurely for the rest of my time in Marrakech.

Good Location

Good location although a nightmare to find and passageways bumpy and muddy. A rushed welcome, no tea as advertised. Same breakfast everyday, some variety would have been nice. I have stayed in Marrakech before and received better hospitality with a varied breakfast and more friendly staff. I would not stay there again.

Marrakech Riad in the heart of Djemma el fna

If your are looking for a place to stay close to the heart of Dejemma el fna that has wonderful rooms and staff than this is the place for you. Some other reviews might complain about the walk through the alley to get to the Riad but it is safe; in the evenings there is security to escort you to the Riad. I highky recommended place and their proces are wonderful.

Nicely done, quiet, atmospeheric.

This place is run by poeple who care about the irmpession they make. Everything is done with that in mind. Pretty suites, good restaurant. It is both central, being a stone's throw from Fnaa, yet out of the way. You need to arange to be collected from the airport and taken to it. But once there you are in the heart of Marrakech.

close to Jemma El Fna and souks

Fabulous riad just off north west corner of Jemma El Fna square, close to Narwana thai restaurant & bar , and Jardins de la Koutoubia hotel (piano bar). One exit from the building is a couple of mins walk from the souks, close enough to be handy, far enough to get some peace. Stayed with family. Riad is comparatively large being a number of buildings joined together - be aware this means quite a few stairs. Stylish upmarket with beautiful lounge area but with traditional comfortable rooms, including heater/AC. Had a suite overlooking a square courtyard with 3 other suites. Hotel manager and staff go out of their way to please. Ideal location, but do get the hotel taxi; the first time you navigate the alleyways to get there you will be glad you had the guide. Breakfast can be taken on the roof amongst the sun loungers and jacuzzi, and was supremely fresh and tasty...mainly fruit, pastry and bread but in the climate this is considerably better than a fry up and set us up for the day walking.

Great Place to stay in Marrakesh

Excellent place to stay. Walking distance from Jame al Fina and the main Souk in Marrakesh. Very friencly staff. Next time, we will try to get the diamond room, the room we had was very small.

Outstanding riad

A superb place to stay. Wonderful welcome, with the best mint tea we had on our trip. Lovely buildings, including small plunge pool in the centre of the riad and a jacuzzi and delightful rooftop terrace area with outdoor beds, recliners and so on. Friendly, knowledgable hosts. Beautifully appointed rooms with quaint Moroccan decor. Overall, I can not recommend this riad more: it's a sea of tranquility only 3 mins walk from the main medina. Taxi from airport (for 11 Euros) was well-advised too, as you'd pay the same for a taxi at the airport. Would return - highly recommended.

Amazing find! Beautiful guesthouse!

We stayed at Riad al Rimal for 10 days in July 2012 for our honeymoon. It was a wonderful experience - the staff were very helpful & the riad is beautiful. The best thing about it is the size, with only 17 rooms it feels like an exclusive place to stay, we spent hours on the sun terrace rarely meeting other guests.
Locationwise its a great spot - only 5mins walk from Jemma el Fna the main square & the souks in the old town, however as you need to walk through lanes between buildings for a few minutes, it feels like a quiet spot away from the hustle & bustle of the souks. We'd recommend requesting to be picked up from the airport as it would be near impossible to find yourself the first time.

If youre wondering whether to stay in the Medina or the New town, we'd definately recommend the Medina for cultural experience!

The Riad is French owned, breakfast was bread rolls, crepes and fresh fruit. The staff speak a mixture of languages.
Riad al Rimal is definitely the nicest place I've stayed at in a long time!

Peace in a hectic fascinating city

This is a superb place to stay with staff and owners all ready to please and help with anything needed. The ambiance and interesting individual style of all of the rooms is something so unusual to find.
The whole wonderful atmosphere is enhanced by the quiet areas within the hotel and the fantastic facilities for relaxing watching the sun change the sky to amber on the roof garden.
Everything about the hotel( not least the wonderful food) is to be recommended.

Veldig små rom, du får kun en liten flaske vann når du ankommer rommet, ikke påfyll, du kan ikke ta deg et glass vin på taket, de serverer ikke alkohol. Bra beliggenhet og hyggelig mennesker som jobber der.

Muy agradable

El Riad excelente, solo que la llegada fue complicada, ya que el servicio de internet contratado no funcionó a la llegada y por suerte el taxista nos compartió su internet para poder habilitar Google Maps y descargar las indicaciones para llegar, ya que son laberintos complicados, ya que son totalmente nuevos para nosotros.

The Riad is just the perfect Place to stay in if you are visiting Marrakesh. We stayed there in August, so it was pretty hot during the day. But in the nice patio it was cool an on the comfortable couch next to the little pool you could enjoy the day.
All the staff was really nice and helpful. Breakfast was as great. We really had nothing to complain. Just a wonderful place to be.

Très beau Riad idéalement situé entre la place Jemaa el fna et la mosquée de la Koutoubia. L’accès par les petites ruelles est surprenant la première fois mais c’est le charme de la médina
L’équipe du Riad est très accueillante et attentionnée
Je le recommande sans hésiter
