Beautiful quiet riad off the busy areas. Hosts and staff were lovely and very helpful, including meeting us where the taxi could drop us and walking us to the riad, and helping us carry luggage when we left (even if we didn't need it!). Location can be a bit hard to find without guide so accept the help on arrival. Also be aware in Marrakesh some walkways in the medina near the square are closed at night so know your routes.
In the riad one feels constantly pampered. Tea and nibbles appeared for us whenever we returned from an excursion. Room was not large but beautifully appointed with a profusion of luxurious spa toiletries and rose petals scattered about to greet us!. There's a tiny and very personal hammam on site. We were able to order a lovely dinner on site the night of our arrival, including a bottle of wine. The dining area on the terrace is cool and inviting. Overall a lovely stay.

They have a beautiful wood stove and know exactly when to serve tea and they share it a lot! It is easy to keep in touch with those that speak English via WhatsApp on their WiFi and I used Google translate for some of the staff who don’t and they could hear what I was trying to say in Arabic then easily help me with what I needed. I ran the marathon there and was officially checked out but they were more than happy to let me use a different bathroom to shower before my flight. The main contact consistently checked in with me and you actually get a choice when you have breakfast! One morning I had it at 10 am on the terrace and the other I had near the fire in a cozy room at 6:30 am. Both breakfasts were slightly different but equally tasty! I would highly recommend this hole in the wall…it literally is like this little oasis after it feels like a maze to have found it, traveling down tight (somewhat dirty but with character!) between areas of the neighborhood that were affected by the 2023 earthquake until you then happen upon this gem. Thank you for a lovely stay! It was well worth me spending a little more than I had planned on a hotel for the treat me like a queen service.

We were pleasantly surprised to find this hidden jewel of a hotel. The staff are the most courteous and helpful group of individuals you will ever find. The facility itself was immaculately clean and beautiful at all times. Our room was comfortable, spacious and neatly decorated with local accents that made our experience the more beautiful.

The hotel is within walking distance Yo all the shopping at the Medina and the nightlife around the plaza. We will definitely come back to this hotel in our next trip to Marrakesh.

The Riad is not easy to find, being down a maze of alleys and having no sign, but persistence is well rewarded. It was like being welcomed into a friend's home. All of the staff are friendly, helpful and appear to be very happy in their work; the service is very personal. Meals are authentic, very tasty and reasonably priced. The building is traditional, tastefully decorated and kept very clean.

Riad kicked us out early - rooms were overbooked

The Riad emailed us the day before we travelled to tell us to make alternative arrangements, even though both they and Hotels.com confirmed 3 months earlier that our room was booked for 4 nights. They then allowed other people to book our room after us. This is NOT acceptable. The manager (Adir) is new; he was most helpful and kind, as were the staff, and for this reason I have given good scores where I can. The food was great. But our holiday was ruined by this experience. Go ahead and book here if you want, but if you get kicked out early remember this review.

The staff (Kamal, Saba, Sousou, Fatima and Rama) were incredibly kind, friendly and helpful. My family and I had an excellent time at Riad Gallery 49. The facility was very clean and felt like home. Lots of personal touch. No matter what time of the day/night you arrive back to the hotel, the tea and Halva is ready for you.
The only reservation was parking, which is not a unique to this particular facility. Other Riads have the same issue. Parking in general is a problem in many cities in Morocco.

Well looked after at gallery 49

Riad Gallery 49 is a lovely local Riad slightly tucked away from the madness of the center of the medina but full of character. In fact I started to prefer being in a local neighbourhood than in the touristic centre. The Riad is hard to find the first time but after Kamal (the host / manager) escorts you out and shows the main landmarks, it’s easy to get in and out. (Tip: call the Riad when you arrive the first time so they can come get you: do not accept offers from the local boys hanging about). It is easy to walk to the main landmarks like Médina , souk and jmaa el fna.

The room wasn’t ready when we arrived so we went out for a meal. The staff were really looking out for us. They even offered us a complimentary lunch the next day as a goodwill gesture.

The best bit about the Riad is that the staff are really out there to make sure you are fine. Kamal was very helpful. Ahma is a very sweet and kind lady who cooked our breakfast and gave us little presents as we left. They even helped take the bags out to the main road for taxis when we checked out.

There are many options in Marrakech but for a charming local option at a great price point, I think the Riad Gallery 49 is wonderful.

Lovely staff, lovely place. Would go back.

Had a lovely time at Riad Gallery 49. The staff are v helpful & flexible. For example Rahma walked us directly to Place Jemaa El-fna and let us know where to get a good exchange rate. Meals are freshly cooked and served at your convenience. What isn't advertised is that Fatima, the cook, can show you how to cook authentic Moroccan meals in the riad kitchen for €50 per person. It's a small galley kitchen rather than individual cooking stations.

The riad is very pretty, the management photos are accurate. The bus station is near by so it's easy to arrange travel to other towns. Only negative is that there are only two plug sockets in the room and charging is slow, so you will have to prioritise!

It was amazing. The staffs are very nice and welcoming . The hotel rooms are very clean as the cleaners clean the rooms everyday. The hotel is very safe and quiet. The airport shuttle service is good. They are very trustworthy and ontime. The hotel provides free breakfast in the hotel at any time you want and the atmosphere is really nice. The hotel locates in a very nice area, close tourist attractions. We (five people) stayed for four nights and it honestly felt like home because it was very comfortable.

Unique Experience in Marrakesh

Wonderful hosts at this Riad. This is a beautiful RIAD converted into a 5 room guest house. Breakfast is included and it is excellent. RIAD is located on a small street not accessible by cars. Usually you will be dropped off by a Pharmacy close to RIAD and someone from the hotel will walk you to the RIAD. The RIAD does offer dinner for an additional charge as well as some SPA services. There is a courtyard in the guest house so the rooms are not completely sound proof.

Wonderful Riad with great staff

Riad has a beautiful interior and its staff is highly focused on making your stay enjoyable. Lots of attention by all to the details, from spreading rose petals through the room after it is cleaned, to fancy folding the towels into birds and animals and arranging them on your bed, to bring you tea or juice with treats without being asked when you stop in to rest during the day. Super clean, beautifully appointed throughout, a terrific staff, and a good location for walking to all the main sites in the Medina. I would highly recommend this terrific and affordable Riad.

Close to main square, extremely attentive staff

This riad was an excellent choice: close to the main square, to markets, but also to Gueliz (new part of the city) and the bus station.
Very clean. Carefully prepared breakfast on the terrace or in the patio. We had also a dinner once.
What made the stay there special was the care of the staff. You feel like a part of the family.
They proposed themselves to accompany us to the most convinient exchange office and to show us the way to the bus office.
Would definitely recommend.

le jour de notre arrivée au riad ils nous disent que le lendemain matin ils nous changeront de lieu car ils ont une autre réservation, puisque nous y allions avec 3 enfants, pour le dîner ils ont assez insisté pour que nous dînions sur place à la fin on a dit oui , notre erreur n'a pas été de demander le rapport qualité / prix, mais vu les valeurs des restaurants du quartier nous avons eu une idée des prix, le lendemain matin nous avons perdu 3 heures en commandant à nouveau tous les sacs et au moment d'aller dans l'autre riad ils nous disent que la valeur Le dîner (2 adultes avec 3 enfants de 11, 8 et 5) était à 150 euros ... un vol, ils ne nous ont jamais dit une valeur si élevée ou moins que les enfants ont payé le même prix qu'un adulte, puis ils nous ont envoyés seuls au nouvel endroit , marchant environ 20 minutes, lorsque nous sommes arrivés au nouvel endroit, ils voulaient nous facturer l'expédition des sacs, car ils avaient indiqué qu'ils s'occuperaient de tout ... et encore une fois dans le nouveau riad, nous avons quitté à 16 heures. Pour partir, presque toute la journée perdue, on ne nous a donné aucune explication de quoi que ce soit, nous ne savons pas si le nouvel endroit était moins cher ou de même valeur, nous avons contacté expedia pour réclamer et aucune réponse ... moche partout.

J'ai logé dans ce riad pendant 4 nuits et j'ai vraiment apprécié : le service, la tranquillité et les repas.
Belle endroit, excentré de la place Jemaa el-Fna qui reste quand accessible à pied 17 minutes.
Il est vrai que l'endroit est caché et le chemin d'accès est un peu déroutant et redoutable mais une fois dedans on apprécie le lieu, l'atmosphère et la tranquillité.

Rida is an excellent concierge, he received us so warm and at all times was aware of our comfort, makes a great team with staff Riad.
Rahmma and Kahdija were who made us feel like home, are responsible for cleaning, kitchen, serve food, take us tea at all times, they are two phenomenal girls.

Autentisk, tilbagetrukket og hyggeligt.

Det var en rigtig god oplevede at bo på Riad Gallery med Hossain som vært. Ham og hans personale var meget gæstfrie og han var behjælpelig med alle forespørgsler. Udefra ligner kvarteret og stedet ikke noget særligt, men indenfor er det rigtig hyggeligt og meget autentisk.
Massagen levede desværre ikke op til resten af opholdet.

Un Riad straordinario!

Gallery 49 è un riad bellissimo, con personale squisito e veramente cordiale. Un pò difficile da raggiungere la prima volta ma poi non ci cono problemi.Ho mangiato benissimo circondato da ogni genere di attenzioni. Un pomeriggio abbiamo accettato l'offerta di fare prima l'hammam e poi la cena e penso che ce lo ricorderemo per parecchio tempo per essere stati trattati veramente proprio bene.
Aghislaine ed Houssine sono stati oltremodo accoglienti, pieni di consigli e ci hanno sempre aiutato anche fuori del riad per trovare un taxi o qualsiasi altra cosa.Da raccomandare veramente.

Perfekte Gastgeber/ tolles Riad

Das Riad liegt zwischen Neu-/ und Altstadt und somit ist alles fußläufig erreichbar.

Hinter einer einfachen Haustür offenbart sich ein wahrer Schatz!
Es ist alles wunderschön und liebevoll eingerichtet. Man wird umsorgt und es bleiben keine Wünsche offen.
Zum Bsp. wurde jeden Abend unser in Zimmer befindlicher Kamin befeuert und man reichte Tee mit Gebäck.

Klare Empfehlung!!
