Great start to our trip here. They met us at taxi stop area and took our case through medina which was very kind. Very helpful staff and the room was nicely decorated. Good breakfast offered. It gets a little noisy in mornings with other guests and breakfast preparation happening around you. All of the rooms are overhanging the main square in middle so it’s hard to avoid hearing people moving around or eating down below. They arranged for a taxi to the train station for 150 MAD, which having travelled the rest of the country, seemed a little high. But if you do it yourself then you’ll need to move your cases through the market and hail down a taxi, so perhaps it is convenient. Great location in the medina although you will walk out onto main strip and have a motorbike fly closely past you so it’s not an area for everyone perhaps.

Riad was lovely. Men staff, not so much. We wished we would've been greeted by the woman (possibly owner) upon arrival, the way she so warmly greeted us upon checkout. We failed to get her name. She was absolutely wonderful. Our first impression at checkin, left an unsatisfactory-lasting one. Man at front desk wasn't very friendly..wanted to \"hold\" our passports. We informed him, our passports go where ever we go. We felt like children heading out for the day. Questions of when we were coming, going and where to and how long befofe we would return. Walls were paper thin. A phone call, in your own private room, was apparently a disturbance to other's. You could hear a person speak, sneeze, cough in the next room. We went to dinner and returned. Once back at the Riad, we were told, next time we head out, to tap with our finger and not use the door knocker on the door.(To gain access) They must let you in and out each time you come and go. We were also told people were sleeping and to be quiet. We felt like we had to whisper. Tip toe to our room and whisper once there. We had a cheerful moment of laughter in our private room and someone came and banged on our door. This all made for an unpleasant stay during a celebatory vacation. This was our least favorite part of the trip. This was our second time to Morocco. Unfortunately, we won't ever return to this establishment for the future. We feel badly submitting a review like this, especially since we were so excited to stay here.

Mon Riad is an understated gem of excellence with kind, thorough and professional staff. They provided unique tours with top notch teachers and guides. We were delighted to be able to relax with a bottle of wine, as many restaurants are \"dry\". Rooms were exceptionally clean with sweet amenities. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Like Staying in Someone's Home

Mon Riad is a great hotel and we felt like we were staying in someone's home. The Riad is a in the heard of the Medina, but off a \"side street\" so its nice and quiet. The staff was very friendly and provided great service. The breakfast was also delicious. Room and bathroom were clean and in good condition.

Overall we would highly recommend Mon Riad and stay here again .

Very welcoming & friendly staff
Easily accessible (near main attractions - jemaa al fnaa and bahia palace) - only thing I did not really like was that it's hard to find and you have to go through sort of a maze (many alleys)

Nice Riad but let down by uncomfortable room

The staff were extremely friendly and offered us complimentary mint tea and water on arrival. We were also provided with a map and directions to main attractions. The room is where it kind of went downhill. We were given room 9 which initially was nice as it was clean and kind of quirky with the shower in the room instead of the bathroom. However this didn't work out well because when you showered it would steam up the whole room and make the walls moist. Water would also leak out from one corner into the room. The toilet had a little shower pipe thing which also leaked, you had to close it really tight after use to avoid it flooding the bathroom floor. We ended up getting small blisters on our hand tightening it each time after use. To be honest these were all minor inconveniences as compared to the amount of noise and racket when we tried to sleep at night on the first night. Someone was talking really loudly in the downstairs patio area at around midnight and his voice could be heard all the way in our room on the second floor. Then at around 1 in the morning someone began dragging furniture across the floor on the roof which was above our room. I mentioned this to the staff the next morning and to be fair it did cut down and wasn't as bad for our remaining nights there. Another thing that annoyed me was that instead of providing us with a king-size bed as advertised, they just stuck two singled beds together (maybe thinking we wouldn't notice?).

Noisy and in need of serious work

We were so unhappy with this hotel that we left after one night even though it meant we would be losing payment for 3 more nights. The room was noisy, dirty, and in a state of disrepair and we had booked and paid for a superior room. This was the only negative experience we had with a riad or hotel during our 3 month visit throughout Morocco.

I found the hotel pleasant quite for resting slightly small but i did not mind ,they make you comfortable that what count for me ,the only thing i did not like has nothing to do with the hotel its using the street are dangerous with the madness of local peoples the way they drive their motorcycle. i certainly will visit them next time when going to Marrakesh.

Lovely riad in the heart of the medina

Our first impressions of Monriad were not great but the manager of the riad went above and beyond to make our stay better and more comfortable. There was some confusion about the services that were included but they were quick to resolve the problems and help us out. We got an upgraded room that was nicer and bigger. The rooftop terrace had stunning views of the medina and the breakfast was absolutely delicious. The hired transport to and from the airport was not good. The driver did not help us with our bags or even greet us. Overall, the stay was great and we highly recommend this riad.

Tired Travelers

We arrived at Monriad extremely tired and disheveled. The staff paid for our petty cab (luggage man) and gave us the most delicious orange juice upon arrival. We were on the first floor of the courtyard and immediately felt at home. We enjoyed dinner cooked by their staff and a great bottle of wine as well. We wish our stay there was longer!

Perfect oasis in the center of a busy place!

Amazing stay! Minor issues with plumbing with first room but were moved to another with no question. Staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. Breakfast is homemade and delicious. Love the patio on the roof. Great place to relax and spectacular view. A bit difficult to find upon arrival in the heart of the market but locals were eager to help us find it.

I spent four nights in this lovely little Riad. The place itself was very charming and comfortable. I enjoyed my room but I really enjoyed sitting by the fire in the living room each night with my glass of wine. The staff were very friendly and extremely attentive.

The Monriad was a lovely hotel.

The Monriad was a lovely hotel conveniently located in the Marrakech Medina within an easy walking distance to the main shopping areas and Jemma El Fna. The hotel staff was very accommodating and provided my party with a delicious breakfast (with homemade yogurt and crepes) the morning we left on our timetable. It appeared that the Monriad is a family business and you could tell that the staff respected the property as if you were being invited into their home.

Quiet Riad in Medina

We stayed 4 nights at Mon Riad and we loved it! The staff were very friendly and helpful, he had dinner at the Riad only in the last night, but we regretted because it was delicious... breakfast was very good and different everyday, with homemade yogurt.. it is located only 5 minutes to Jemaa el Fna square, it was tricky to find when we arrived, but then we had no problem walking around and finding our way back. I know exactly where I am staying in my next trip to Marrakech! :)

MonRiad is a 5 Star place!

Can't say enough great things about the MonRiad. They organized a driver to pick us from the airport, provided excellent service, were extremely kind and helpful, and the MonRiad is a beautiful place to stay. Clean, warm, and great sized rooms. The food is fantastic! Only a 5 minute walk to the Medina. 5 stars in every category!

Brilliant Location for the Medina

This Riad is located a 5 minute simple walk from the centre, Jemaa el-Fnaa. It's quiet in the evening and morning which was surprising. Unfortunately our room was top floor so we could hear the furniture being moved around on the roof terrace late at night and early morning. Unfortunately the water temperature and pressure fluctuated in the shower and tap one day but it only lasted an afternoon. Staff were frinedly and helpful.
BEWARE: When you arrive men on the street will hassle you to let them show you the way, even when you know the way they will walk in front and then demand money. This is annoying. We gave one of them 20 dirhams (2 euros) and they told us it was worth nothing so best to not acknowledge them at all and give them nothing. They took ages to leave- obviously this is not anything to do with the hotel and is a problem throughout the area.

Mon Riad

Stayed here with my husband for our wedding anniversary... Very warm welcome from all th staff. Everything we needed, was taken care of, all we had to do was ask...

Although there was no TV, that made things more special because we were able to go out and explore. It was a home away from home.

Although it was a 5 day trip we did the spa (Hammam), quad, and two day camel excursion. This was all booked by the Mon Riad staff with no hassal.

We even got a complimentary gift courtesy of Mon Riad which was lovely.

Will definitely be going back for longer next time.

A beautiful place to retreat to in a busy city

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at MonRiad in March. It's a haven of peace and a perfect place to return to after immersing yourself in a busy and fascinating city. An added bonus is that it is in the medina and only a few minutes walk from Djemaa el-Fna, the main square where everything happens. It's very easy to find once you have been shown. The hospitality, the rooms and the breakfasts are all superb. An added bonus are the loungers and seats on the roof top, an ideal place for a spell of sunshine in peace.

Monriad goes the extra mile

We had a wonderful stay in Monriad. The rooms are clean and beautifully decorated. The breakfast they provide is traditionally Moroccan and freshly prepared, including homemade yoghurt. The staff were extremely helpful, friendly and knowledgeable in addressing our queries about the city. We would have booked to stay some extra nights, but as they were fully booked, they helped us to find alternative accommodation at very short notice. They definitely enhanced our stay in Marrakech.

Bästa riaden?

Perfekt tyst ställe att bo på i medinan. Lätt att nå (endast kort promenad från taxi in i den bilfria medinan) och korta promenader till de flesta sevärdheterna. Många restauranger i området. Italienskorna som driver riaden ger många goda råd om staden. Utan att vi hann fråga erbjöds vi tidig frukost, 04.30, eftersom vår transport till flygplatsen var 05.00. Mycket rent, bra personal, små men bekväma rum, synnerligen prisvärt!
