Great location

A lovely riad, right in the centre of the Souk. We used the collection service (15euros) and I'm not sure we'd found it without that! Once we got our bearings though it was easy to find and it was a great location. The room was large and had a mini fridge, there was wifi (best we found) and a lovely roof terrace as well. Breakfast was simple but very good and the staff were lovely. On an eco front, they didn't need to change the towels every day, but that shouldn't stop you from using them. I would definitely recommend and go back again. The souk itself is enormous and very busy as is the square, but at all times we felt safe and on the whole the people were lovely.

Wonderful place to stay!

We stayed there for 3days with my family and had a wonderful time! This road is a little gem. Very quiet and comfortable!
Beautiful set up inside, nice breakfast and good internet for those who need to work in the evening. Make sure you book the transfer with the hotel, as it saves a lot of time and nerves after long flight.
Abdu was very extremely helpful recommending us places around and helping us with our luggage. Highly recommend!! Would definitely stay again!

The Samarine is in the middle of the Medina. Streets are narrow, motorbikes jostle with pedestrians in the Souks. It takes a day to find your way through the maze of alleys.

Samarine, however. Is on a quiet deadend. There is no noise inside. The rooftop is enjoyable. The breakfasts are excellent. The staff is excellent and the bed was comfortable.

Samarine is not for everybody because it is comparably inaccessible. At the same time, staying there is an adventure that many will enjoy. We are glad we chose Samarine.

Highly recommend

Lovely property with super friendly and helpful staff. Quite difficult to find so would highly recommend you book airport transfers with them (at 15euro each way) this includes a porter for luggage through the souks if after 1pm when cars are not allowed in. Location is great - right in the heart of the chaos but still super quiet in the rooms!

Just come back from a stay here and have to say it was the best place I've stayed in Morocco. Perfect location and super clean. Very helpful and friendly staff especially Abdul Latif who helped us with whatever it was we needed. Recommend to anyone who's looking to book a riad, book this one!

Great location being in the heart of the Market

Location was on the spot. Literally in the heart of the market, but getting to the place you will need help, since local taxi would not be able to get in. Better call the guest house attendant which was very friendly to pickup you at your location. Overall good but would love to have our own kettle in the room, since we have our 2 yrs old, but since we are booked on the ground floor it was easy accessible to the kitchen. I guess better to request in advance if something you need during your stay.

Located right in the centre of the souk so I would encourage to organise transfers with the Riad themselves so you can be guided to the property. Trying to find it by yourself you might be walking around in circles for a while

Great location in the medina, but really hard to find. Very quiet, clean and well equiped room. Family friendly, we we're there with our 10 months daughter and they provided a portable infant bed. Great breakfast, super nice staff, we we're given a lot of advice for the rest of our trip - thank you so much :)

Staff excellent. More modern Riad with very clean rooms. Spacious room. Very reasonable rate. Very close to market, just a few steps.

Someway difficult to find at back of market and on some online maps it is not in the right place.

Ordered breakfast for 8:30 and although breakfast was good, almost 20 minutes late.

Keep in mind a few items:

*Be prepared to pay an additional tax at riad if payment is online.
* Get good directions in advance.
* Bring your own shampoo.
* It may be somewhat noisy if people are talking in middle court.
* Bed mattresses very firm, at least in our second floor room.
* Winter months room may be somewhat cool.

Overall positive.

Short stay

The riad is quiet a maze , I had to take pic of the entrance and places to enable me to get back . For beginners may have been overwhelming but I think if I stayed there longer I think I could know my way better.
Overall , staff at Riad Samarine was Super helpful and even asssit me in the early morning to show me the way to my meeting point .
Would I stay there again , yes of course after knowing the lane and getting lost for 2 hours :)

The staff are all friendly and helped us book activities during our stay (including hammam, quad biking and a trip to the Atlas Mountains). I would definitely stay here again when I return to Marrakech.

Appeciation of Riad Samarine

Excellent place to stay in order to gain a great impression of the culture and way of life of Marrakech. Room well air conditioned with quiet air conditioner allowing a good nights sleep. Staff very helpful. Airport pick up excellent. Good breakfasts for my six day stay. WIFI excellent. Advice on local restaurants excellent.. I was attending a large conference at the Marrakech Convention Centre and others staying in large local hotels near the convention centre were envious that I and a Colleague stayed in the Medina near the great Square. It was easy getting a taxi to the conference and to return although on two occasions we decided to walk back to our Riad. I would be very happy to stay in Riad Samarine again.

The riad is definitely difficult to find as it is hidden in the maze of souks. However, once located it offers a true oasis in the heart of Marrakech. The staff were both very welcoming and attentive to my needs. The facilities were all top notch as well. I will definitely be back to stay on my next trip to Marrakech!

Deep in the heart of Marrakech Medina

We highly recommend this riad. It was the best one we stayed at in our time in Morocco. The staff were helpful, the price was reasonable, the triple rooms were quire large, spacious and well decorated, the location in the middle of the souks and near Djema el-Fna square was perfect. We went on a 3 day desert trek, and they agreed to keep our larger luggage so we only had to smaller packs. We will definitely stay here again when we return to Morocco.

Muy recomendable

Se trata de un Riad situado literalmente a 5 minutos de la plaza Jamma el Fna lo que es una maravilla ya que en nada estás en el centro de la ciudad. Las habitaciones son muy amplias y muy limpias. Sin lujo alguno, pero con todo lo que se puede necesitar cuando se viaja: una cama muy cómoda y un baño limpio y con una buena ducha. El desayuno está incluido y es muy completo. No es exactamente lo que estamos acostumbrados a almorzar en Europa, pero es bueno.

素敵な宿だが到着するまで一苦労

宿の場所は非常にわかりにくいです。本当にこんなとこ入っていくの？というようなところを入っていくので、できれば周りの人に尋ねた方がいいと思います。私はmaps.meを使って向かいましたがmaps.meに示されているリヤドサマリネの場所は違っていました(2019年4月18日現在)。google mapの場所の方が正しいです。
宿は、非常に過ごしやすいです。泊まった部屋にはシャワーしかありませんでしたが、お湯もきちんと出て湯量も十分でした。
屋上には喫煙場所がありました。ホテルとは違い、外から帰ってきたら入口をノックして入口を開けてもらう必要があります。
フナ広場やスークも近くにあります。観光客等で道が非常に混雑して少しうんざりするかもしれませんが雑多な感じが楽しいかもしれません。
私は、バブーシュを購入するためにこのサイト(https://ironotabi.com/marrakech_walkguide/)を参考にして+michiやJaafarをみて回り良いものが見つかりました。
スーパーマーケットまでは、そこそこ歩くのでお水などはフナ広場で購入した方が楽です。少々高いですが。
