What a hidden jewel! The rooms were spacious and very clean. The staff, Ahmed and Kareena were exceptionally good. They made things easy for tourists by calling good and reliable cab drivers.
We loved our 2 nights stay at the Riad El hara.

A beautiful gem

A beautiful little Riad just outside the Medina, but close enough to walk. Lovely welcoming staff who went the extra mile to provide a great standard of hospitality. A rooftop pool was a great asset for a cool down anytime of day. Large rooms with all amenities.

The riad in the middle I would say of the new Marrakesh and the old. It’s walkable journey to any parts of Marrakesh and is nestled in a quiet neighbourhood that has all amenities you would need

From the outside the Riad looks a bit tatty but once you get into the alleyway you enter a whole new world! It is a brilliant establishment, it is not a conventional hotel but a bed and breakfast on Steroids! (evening meals are available on site if required. The staff could not have been more helpful and attentive they were available 24/7. we had airport transfers and a day trip to the Atlas mountains arranged for us, We were also offered helpful advice about the city. We will definitely stay here again if we go back to Marrakech.

We loved the attention, courtesy and friendship of Karima and Muhammad. They made us feel at home right from the moment we walked in. Thereafter, anything that we needed they would be go out of their way to help. They also gave us many tour tips. They reserved restaurants for us and called for taxi, when needed.The place was lovely, quiet, clean and well decorated. It is outside the Medina, which has places where cars are not allowed and guests would have to walk a long way dragging their luggage. Not the case with El Hara. We were all very satisfied. We do not hesitate to recommend this place to friends and relatives.

Solo traveler feeling at home

As a solo female traveller, I recommend this place to anyone who likes to feel welcomed somewhere, at home, calm and at peace in a hotel. I felt like I was part of their family and they adopted my friend too that didn't stay here. This riad surpassed my expectations and was a great first stop for my first overseas trip.

Karima and the staff were quick to respond to my requests and questions. It was easy to get a response by email to arrange a shuttle for me and my friend that didn't stay here and they welcomed us with open arms even if we arrived extra early in the day because of our overnight flight and offered us breakfast. I was even able to check in earlier since the room was ready earlier (thankfully, I was exhausted). The staff suggested restaurants, must see and tips for Marrakech. They also were there to help me and my friend with calling taxis, even late at night.

The room was cozy, there's even bathrobes, the bed was comfy too and you don't hear the sounds from road. On the rooftop, there a pool which is refreshing when you are hot and lovely flowers that smell good and beautiful decor overall. Their breakfast is also good and very filling.

People in the area are nice too, and it is close to the medina for awesome food and ambiance.

I could go on and on, but I'm extremely grateful for this Riad and the wonderful people here. I recommend this place, it is worth it!

The guest manager was very nice and cordial! She was welcoming from the moment we checked-in.

She also helped us find Moroccan Black Soap and Nila powder in Marrakech.

The area where the Riad is located may not look attractive, but the moment you step inside it’s a whole different experience.

Beautiful Hospitality next to the Medina

It is hard to express in words just how wonderful the Riad el Hara is. Karima, Mohammad and the rest of her team are extraordinarily helpful, kind, and welcoming. Karima treats you like your are family and checks on you to make sure you feel at home and have what you need to make it the most enjoyable and peaceful stay. The Riad is lovely with authentic the Moroccan and modern comforts. The spa is an oasis to receive traditional and western pampering. I will be very happy to stay here any time I visit Marrakech. The Riad is a short walking distance to the Medina and short taxi ride to lovely restaurants, the train and bus stations.

You cannot ask for a better place to stay than Riad El Hara. It is just outside of the Medina. An easy walking distance to key areas of interest and restaurants (especially if you go in the early morning or later in the evening when it’s not too hot). They also arrange for free transport to and from the airport, which is very convenient for those who have never travelled to Marrakech. But what makes Riad El Hara special aside from its beautiful interior rooms and garden courtyard is their amazing staff led by the lovely Kareema. She exemplifies Moroccan hospitality. Being greeted by Kareema is like being welcomed home by the most nurturing family member that you never want to leave. In fact, if you wanted to just stay at the riad you would have the most relaxing and pampered experience with delicious breakfast and dinners, as well as hammam and massage experiences. Thank you to Kareema and everyone for making our first and last night in Morocco an unforgettable experience 💗

The best hospitality I’ve ever experienced, wow!

Wow is all I can say. This hotel/riad is the most accommodating and welcoming place I have ever stayed. I cannot believe how amazing and caring the staff are, especially Karima and Ali who helped us far beyond they needed to. Ali even went and got us our bus tickets to go to our next location. He also helped me order food when we were too ill to leave the riad. Karima is a warm, friendly host who makes everyone feel like family. All the staff are really. Our bedroom was stunning, with so many lovely extras such as water everyday, chocolates, nuts etc. they go the extra mile for their guests. The room was very spacious, clean and beautiful to look at. The breakfast was different every day which was great as we got to try different Moroccan foods. I just can’t recommend this riad enough. You have to stay here if you’re coming to Marrakech.

This was our first trip to Marrakech. So many riads to choose from, however, looking at previous reviews we selected El Hara.
I have to say we were.not disappointed.
Once the booking had been made, we received a welcome message from staff at El Hara. Any questions i raised prior to our trip were responded to quickly, with relevant useful information.
We opted for the collection from and too the airport and was worth it.
Once at El Hara, we recejved a friendly welcome. The place is beautiful and we had our first introduction to mint tea during the booking in process.
Our room was large, pleasent and importantly very comfortable. The breakfasts were varied and certainly kept you going for the day.
The staff ... everyone was very pleasent and nothing was too much. All tne small staff team appeared genuinly happy to be there and this gave a feeling of family, which you were made to feel part off. In this business staff are there to make your stay easy, so they have to give a certain impression but at El Hara you never felt this way. You felt you were tneir personal guests or family and made to feel so.

The location was great, opposite the walls to Medina with an entry point a short walk away. All the areas you would want to visit are within walking distance. Any excursions further afield can be arranged via staff at El Hara.

The only complaint, is that we had to return to the real world of a cold March in the UK at the end of our stay.

I would highly recommend El Hara.

I would give it a 5 if they do answer their phone while we were struggling looking for its location inside an alley with no street sign and a very small hotel plate.

We booked Riad El Hara based from all the excellent reviews online and we were not disappointed. From the staff, cleanliness, property condition, amenities and everything else all were Excellent. Karima and Muhammad welcomed us like we were family coming home, Ali arranged our transport from pick up from a different riad and transfer to airport. Staff very accommodating, easy to communicate. We had the Bacha room very spacious, bathroom and shower very clean. We arrived noontime and ordered lunch while waiting for our room to be ready, beef and lamb tajine were all delicious, as well as breakfast. Thank you so much Karima and your staff, we had a very lovely stay. Our only regret is we only booked a short stay in this riad. Karen

The BEST Riad in Marakech

I have traveled to over 40 countries and never have I been treated so well and valued as a customer. I was received by the Riad manager. Carima, and she welcomed us like family. We sat down in the family area and shared tea and we received a most interesting history of the Riad and the city of Marakeck. She introduced us to our room which spacious and very welcoming. The decor was exquisite and the size and comfort most welcoming. We never felt cramped and the quietness of the Riad, and specifically our room made our nights very restful. Two employees of the Riad, Ali and Mohammed went out of their way to make us feel like family and they were available whenever needed some form of support. In one occasion our scheduled tour guide with a US based touring company did not arrive as scheduled, nor advised us he wasn't coming, Ali quickly contacted someone he knew (abdul) and we ended have the best tour of the city and his knowledge of the Moroccan history only enhanced our appreciation of the country and its people. If you ever decide to go to Marakech, this is the place to stay. It's close to everything important within the city and once you enter the gates of the Riad, you enter another world full of calm, quiet and extraordinary people. We felt like we left our home when it was time to return to the US.

Excellent Riad!

I could not be more complimentary of Riad El Hara. The Riad is a beautiful place and is located conveniently right outside one of the main gates into the medina and near the Majorelle Gardens. The rooms are very comfortable and the breakfast excellent. The staff there could not be more friendly and helpful. My wife and I and some friends were in Marrakech for a wedding, and the Riad staff arranged all of our transportation to various locations outside the city, back and forth to the airport, as well as other more typical activities, such as a cooking class. They made the visit very easy and enjoyable and made us feel like family. We would highly recommend.

I am genuinely impressed by the level of hospitality at Riad el Hara. From the moment I arrived, Karima and all the staff made me feel incredibly welcome. They are not only professional and attentive, but also genuinely kind and warm. Their service is simply impeccable.

The location couldn’t be better. It’s about a 15-minute walk to everything that matters in Marrakech: the souks, the Majorelle Garden, and the city’s best restaurants. For sure is it the perfect base to explore the city. At the same time, the riad feels like a peaceful oasis in the middle of the vibrant medina: quiet, relaxing, and beautifully serene.

The breakfast is absolutely delicious and the entire experience exceeded my expectations. Once again, I have to mention the staff! Tthey truly made this stay unforgettable.

Without a doubt, this was the best choice I could have made. I can’t wait to come back!

Le Riad est très beau, nous avons eu une suite très grande, le personnel est adorable et serviable, les petits déjeuners marocains sont copieux et changent tous les jours. La situation du Riad est devant une porte de la médina sur un grand carrefour.
Le seul bémol, le linge de toilette sent le chlore et est un peu usé. Mais ça n’enlève rien au charme du Riad.
Nous avons passé un très bon séjour.
