Overall, I had a mixed experience at this place. The staff were absolutely amazing 10/10. Everyone was very kind, helpful, and welcoming, which really made a difference during my stay.
However, there were a few downsides. The breakfast became repetitive, as the same items were served every day, which got tiring after a while. I also noticed that the bedsheets were only changed every two days, which wasn’t very comfortable for me.
The Wi-Fi was another issue it only worked properly at the reception area. Thankfully, I had my own data; otherwise, staying connected would have been difficult.
As for the spa, the hammam experience wasn’t great, but on a positive note, the massage itself was very good and relaxing.
In summary, the staff and massage were highlights, but improvements are needed with the Wi-Fi, housekeeping frequency, breakfast variety, and hammam experience.

Looks great but so so

This hotel is really decorated beautifully but was not my favorite riad we stayed at as some of the staff was not that helpful/welcoming. However, there were a few members who were far more helpful, really depended on who you dealt with. I also thought the area around the riad was a bit more dodgy than other areas we stayed in. If I were a female traveling alone I would recommend other areas. The rooms were nice and had air con which was nice. The breakfast was also great!

just okay

3 stars at best. We just stayed here for 2 nights and the hotel left a lot to be desired. First off the WiFi connectivity is absolutely horrible unless you are standing by reception. We basically had no internet in our room and none in the roof top lounge area. Our room was right by the common area so it was very loud at night and in the morning. The doors are a joke and offer no privacy and sound proofing same goes with the windows. The location is good if you want to be in the old town and it's about a 20 minute walk to get to the new area. The staff are friendly and helpful. Note that you have to pay a local tax for each room night stay per person.

Night to early morning shift service is the best!

I stayed here for 3 nights with my mom in the junior suite, it’s a lovely establishment. First and foremost, the front desk host for the evening/night/early morning is amazing! He checked us in and got all of our requests taken care of in a very timely manner and is always happy to help. For our early morning departure on the last day, he served us breakfast with very fast service, organized a taxi for a very reasonable price and moved all of our luggage to the taxi stan!! For this, I am giving a 5 Star for service! the day shift staff are ok. Medina is very chaotic but this part of the Medina is nice and quiet, other parts I say avoid staying. All the hustle and bustle does get too much! I think my experience here was good but not spetacular. The pool is great for cooling off. Value for money is good. We had a living room downstairs (no ac, so it can get hot), Private Stairs to bedroom (yes ac, but it’s hard to find a perfect temperature, directly over the bed so if you leave it on it’s too cold with the thin layer of cover, if you turn it off it’s too hot in summer) and bathroom and Terrace entry. There’s restoration, construction going on for some part of the roads that you have to pass by, it’s all muddy and dirty. (But that’s almost everywhere) Breakfast is nice and I’ll say give this a go if you want to experience a nice Medina riad experience.

A calm oasis in a hectic city

Initially we were given a room on the ground floor, and after requesting a change of rooms the staff couldn’t have been more accommodating and gracious as they moved us to a lovely room on the first floor. The night manager was so kind in recommending, accompanying and collecting us from our restaurant on two evenings and everyone was absolutely charming and friendly. The hotel has authentic and charming courtyards, although some greenery on the roof terrace would be nice.

Unique Stay

The contrast between exterior and interior is stark: a dark, low approach and a soaring, light interior. The staff is nice and able to arrange transportation transfers. The food service is surprisingly good, thus sparing me the hassle to negotiating the intimidating neighborhood by myself at night to seek dinner. My room was an interesting enclosed area next to one of the beautiful courtyards, comfortable bed, nice hot shower, good wifi. There were only slivers of windows, and the only way to really get light was to leave the massive, wooden doors open, with just a white curtain partition to the public space. Unfortunately for me, it is winter now and quite cold, so I could not really enjoy the courtyards or rooftop. The location is about 30 minute walk to the main square (not that pleasant for a solo tourist due to aggressive locals).

Tucked away in the Northern medina this raid deserves to be sought out. Tranquil and understated, the staff are attentive without being intrusive. We stayed in and ordered from the menu on the first night - delicious and authentic! Directions to various sights, bars and restruants and recommendations all excellent. We also had an in house hamman which at the end of a hot day in the souks was a great way to unwind and recharge. 10/10

Lovely place to stay

Super place to stay - classic building set around courtyards and pool. Great roof terrace. The place was absolutely spotless but the best aspect was the staff. They were helpful and polite. Everything was possible and nothing too much trouble.

A 15 minute stroll to the main square once we had worked out how to get around - definitely advise you to get the hotel to send a car to meet you at the airport on arrival.

Hotel in the middle of the medina

This hotel is located in the middle of the medina. A taxi will take you to a gate of the medina where you will find a boy/man ready to show you how to get to the hotel as the medina is laberinth and there is no possible way you can get there with a map. I guess you can contact the hotel ahead of time or from the airport/train station and asked them to met you at the taxi drop off point.
The hotel is a beautiful house adapted as a hotel. Decorated with lamps, launch chairs. Has a small swiming pool more for cooling down than to swim.
The staff was cordious and help ful.
Our room was small but adequate.

Beautiful Riad in a perfect location

We ventured to Marrakech for long weekend in October and our stay at the Riad Al Jazira made a welcome retreat from the hustle and bustle of the souks and the Djeema El Fina.

The staff were all pleasant and we were well looked after by Harrid.

Breakfast was complimentary and I well recommend filling up on the pancakes, bread and jams, house-made yogurt, eggs and fresh OJ whilst sat on the roof terrace before heading out to shop in the Souks.

Booking a car transfer via the hotel is highly recommended - it worked out around 150dirhams each way (£10ish) and you are met at the drop off point near to the Riad (as far as the car can go) by staff from the Riad who will guide you through the maze to the Riad. Trust me, it will save you all the hassle of trying to do it yourself.

Our room was small but perfect as all we wanted was a base, the hotel provided towels and a hairdryer and the room came with a safe. The room was cleaned daily and had AC!

This was the nicest Riad we stayed in on our vacation. It was very well lite and airy, and quite. We had a delightful breakfast every day. The room was beautiful and clean with crisp white linens and a puffy comforter. The only draw back was that it was difficult to find. Every taxi driver had a difficult time locating it.

A little bit of Luxury

Really friendly and helpful staff.
The hotel was an oasis of luxurious calm, a real surprise and a contrast to the busy alleyways outside.The alleyway to the Riad was very narrow and low which was a little disconcerting at first (as I was travelling just with my 11 year old daughter and worried about safety at night) but you soon get used to the location). We did actually get hassled outside the riad one night, by a young boy, for not tipping enough...(I only had about 3 Euros worth of local currency in my pocket). He had volunteered to show us the way back from where a taxi had dropped us close by but as with all the streets of the area it is difficult to navigate if you are new to the city.
Breakfasts were wonderful beside the tranquil pool. The massage and gommage offered at the hotel were a treat too.

Moroccan Oasis

This Riad is an oasis in Marrakech's medina. The rooms are phenomenal, no two are alike yet all are new, beautiful, spacious, and stylish while being undoubtedly Moroccan. The courtyards and rooftop are gorgeous, the food (breakfasts and one dinner), taken in any of the courtyards or on the roof, was delicious, and the staff was extremely gracious and helpful (can't stress that enough). The only drawback is it's difficult to find the first time so coordinate a pickup with the riad so they can show you the way (we spent 45 mins trying to find the place trekking through the medina). Aside from that, it's in the north end of the medina so be prepared to walk about 20 mins through the medina to get to the main square, if you don't get sidetracked in the souks --- but that's what visiting the medina is all about. Overall, phenomenal value for the money and highly recommend it (but away from the ice if you catch my drift). There were seven of us in our group, we rented three rooms, and we all came away extremely satisfied -- it's still hard to envision a place like this in the middle of the medina.

Det var et lille værelse, hvor vi skulle kravle op i sengen fra enden af og det var såå koldt, det trak ind af vinduerne. Der var dog en lille el radiator, som ikke hjalp meget
Personale venligt og hjælpsom, men ventede hver morgen mellem 20 -30 minutter på både kaffe samt mad, hvor brødet var meget tørt. Skulle hele tiden bede om at få noget ) kaffe æg mm ). Intet kom af sig selv og der var såå kold hvor morgenmad blev serveret at næsten alle gæster sad med overtøj på. Servicen var ej heller ren.

We had a room on the groundfloor with access to the picturesque patio. It was very quiet. There is a large beautiful terrace, a quite big plunge pool in another patio. All very beautiful. Service is great, the staff is very friendly and accommodating. Location of the Riad outside the medina is actually an advantage as the area is not as loud and crowded. We will definitely be back.

Riad aus TausendUndEinerNacht

Das Riad Al Jazira ist ein echter Traum: Eine wunderbare Mischung aus alt und neu, Tradition und Moderne. Der Innenarchitekt hat sich viel Mühe gegeben, dass alles ruhig und ausgeglichen aussieht. Und so sind auch die Mitarbeiter: Stets freundlich und hilfsbereit, um die Gäste bemüht, zuvorkommend und immer für ein gutes Gespräch zu haben. Der Frühstücksraum am Pool ist ein Traum, in so einer Kulisse frühstückt man selten. In diesem Riad kann man sich entspannen in den ruhigen Zimmern, auf der Terrasse, im Hamam oder am Pool. Selbst die Gäste verhalten sich ruhig und laufen auf leisen Sohlen durch das kleine Paradies im Norden der Medina von Marrakesch. Das Riad ist eine Oase nach dem Souk und den vielen Attraktionen, die Marrakesch zu bieten hat. Von mir bekommt dieses Riad mit seinen Menschen eine exzellente Note.
