Poor breakfast ! Asked the owner for eggs and he flatly refused .. never had a smile on his face . Paid in full up front , about to leave and was asked to pay tax !! 30 mins walk from jma el fna .. would not stay again !!
Mohammad Muhibur
The picture doesn't Mach. Room not clean properly. Breakfast is ok but you have to pay for water. WiFi not working in rooms. Swimming pool damage. Advertise isn't mach that hotel
Anthony
Would stay again. This was a standard riad. No major complaints. Staff was nice. Clean. Air conditioning was good. Nice open air design (though that also means open sound). A bit hard to get to with the taxi from the airport but easy to get around once there and WiFi was average. Overall good stay though.
Moussa
Beds were so comfortable. Staff was friendly and breakfast was nice

Very pleasant staff.
Angela
The gentleman that greeted us was lovely! He made us feel welcome straight away. The room was beautiful, spacious, clean and the shower was good and hot. Breakfast was light but delicious (fresh juice, coffee, bread, cheese, olives, etc). It was about a 25-30 minute walk to the main souks, but never felt long or too out of the way. It was actually nice to escape the bustling centre for some quiet. It can be tricky to find, but what isn’t in Marrakesh?! Lol
Isabella
Khalid was very helpful and gave great recommendations! The breakfast was amazing and the hotel was very cozy
Eve
Lovely Riad, very friendly and helpful staff, we loved our stay
Rebeca
The staff from the hotel and the owner are very kind a nice people. We had some problems not related with the riad but they helped us anyway. One day we had to leave earlier and they made breakfast for us. I completely recommend it.
Tracy
The staff were very friendly and respectful to us. They inquired several times about our comfort and had plenty of helpful advice. The room was clean, had good heat and plenty of hot water.
Salaam
The staff are fantastic and more concern about the safety of their occupants.
Carey
The staff was wonderful! They helped us get a taxi, let us store our luggage all day and even walked us in the right direction when we got lost trying to go to the Jardin Majorelle. Beautiful Riad and delicious breakfast!

Considering it was almost an 800 year old building the condition was good. The staff (Khalid) was friendly and helpful. There were restaurants (local food) within walking distance. You could also get a taxi within a few minutes to visit tourist places.
Hugo
The Riad itself was intimate and really gave the authentic experience. The rooms AC was a blessing and was never too hot. Beds and the bathroom were well kept and cleaned daily, so cute. The host was so, so kind and extremely helpful in many different ways, the best! Only thing I would mention is travelling around at night can be a bit challenging as it can seem like a maze. This is especially apparent when Google Maps aren't giving you correct directions or showing non-existent roads. Get a good bearing of the area during the day and try get to get back to the Riad at a reasonable time.
REBECCA
Three days in Marrakech
Kahlid, the manager was wonderful. We checked in about 5pm. He served tea. He told us about the property and the town and some of their customs. After we settled in he recommended a place to eat and walked with us to show us where it was. The food was great. There were 3 of us in the room but it wasn't too crowded. The rooms are off a court yard where we were served breakfast and tea. Excellent food. It was made fresh for us in the kitchen off the courtyard.
Catherine
Our host was wonderful, so attentive and helpful. My boyfriend and I felt at home in this beautiful Riad.
Louise
We have just returned from a 3 day stay in this lovely Riad. We booked our airport taxi through the hotel and the host met us from the drop off point in the Medina to walk to the Riad. Our host was a lovely quiet man who was very hospitable. The Riad was beautiful inside but fairly basic which we liked. The beds were comfortable and breakfast basic but authentic and slightly different each morning. The only downside to this Riad was its location. It’s in more of a residential area and a good 25 minute walk from the main square, that’s if you don’t get lost. You definitely need Google maps .

Friendly and welcoming Riad
A lovely place to stay. We were so well looked after by our hosts; everything from airport transfer to making sure we were comfortable in our room. Breakfast was delicious and varied from day to day and the serving area was perfect. There are also good communal seating areas and we were able to make use of the rooftop terrace. Previous reviews mention the close proximity to a mosque and hearing the early morning call to prayer. We personally found this to be a positive experience, all part of the city and its rich culture. The Riad is located within the Medina, but is at the northern most end, so Google maps is definitely needed to be able to navigate your way to the main attractions. We found that we actually did slightly fewer steps than we would normally on a city break. There are a couple of really good restaurants nearby - Zouhal Food and Limoni. Would definitely recommend this Riad as a place to stay.
Ellen
We were walked to the property so we didn't get lost, very helpful considering it's proximity to the medina. staff were really friendly and helpful. The breakfast was a highlight for us. The room was clean and cosy.
kambiz
It was an old house that had been beautifully restored and was in the old quarter of Medina. The hotel employee, Mr. Khalid, was very warm, friendly and helpful.
Michael
Friendliest accommodation I have ever seen.
Absolutely fantastic riad. Very clean and pretty on the inside. The host is without a doubt the friendliest and kind host I’ve ever come across. He went out of his way everyday to ensure I had a good stay.
I don’t leave reviews, but this place deserves it.
Stay here, you’re missing out if you don’t.

Riad Elixir
We stayed for three nights here as a couple and felt so welcomed. The staff weee incredibly friendly and went out of the way to make sure we were comfortable. We cannot recommend this place enough and encourage anyone wanting a hotel to stay here for an authentic Moroccan experience.
The room was spacious and clean upon arrival and cleaned daily. The shower was hot as well as powerful with basic toiletries provided.

Very disappointing
The Riad is situated down an alleyway, hard to find and in a rather rundown area. Khalid the manager was very hospitable and helpful. However the accomodation was basic, tired, and not the cleanest. At night trying to find your way back getting accosted by teenagers after your money to guide you. Even the tuktuk driver could not find it. We were booked in for 4 nights and left after 1.
Sandy
Our host was amazing and welcomed us as if we were home. Great place to stay at!
Elsje
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS RIAD!
What a wonderful experience in an authentic 800+ year old Riad! The driver let the host/manager know we arrived and Khalid came out to the car to greet me and help me with my luggage. We entered the lovely courtyard area, and Khalid had Moroccan mint tea ready for me to start my stay. The room was spacious, clean, and perfect. There is also a great roof top terrace that was perfect for relaxing.
It was small enough where I was able to bump into the same other guests and have some nice chats with them- they also mentioned how much they enjoyed their stay.
This Riad is tucked away on a small street, so Khalid walked me to one of the larger streets and gave me directions from there for restaurants. He also helped me on following days with speaking to taxi drivers to help guide me back.
He asked each night what time I wanted coffee & breakfast ready the next morning, unlike many other places which have a set time.
My last day, Khalid stored my luggage while I toured more of Marrakech, then served me more great Moroccan mint tea while I waited for my driver to pick me back up.
As a solo female traveler, I can not thank Khalid enough for all of his help in making this such a fantastic stay! I highly recommend staying here if you want an authentic experience and want to feel well taken care of.

This was an excellent, authentic stay. Our host was kind, and went out of his way to help us and show us the quickest routes and best restaurants. Beautiful roof terrace and the riad was breathtaking, breakfasts were very peaceful with birds around. We went to Lemoni for dinner one night on their recommendation and the food was excellent.
Suzanna
Wonderful stay, thank you Khalid!
We had a lovely stay in Riad Elixir. It was clean and a very beautiful building inside the medina. The chicken tagine we had for dinner was delicious. Khalid made us feel so welcome and went out of his way countless times to help us. He printed our boarding passes, ordered all our taxis, and personally walked us to restaurants. As two young females we appreciated this so much. Even though it was Ramadan, Khalid got up early twice to do us breakfast so we wouldn’t be late for our booked tour. If we come back to Marrakech, we wouldn’t stay anywhere else! :)

Beyond perfect!
I brought my Dad to Marrakech as a 60th birthday present. Neither of us had been to Morocco before. Riad Elixir was perfect in every way! The location, the host, the rooms, the service - could not have asked for any better! A massive thank you to Khalid for looking after us! You’ll be seeing us again soon! - from Hannah and Gary Boreham

We had a wonderful stay at Riad Elixir: It was our home from home for 5 days and our base for exploring Marrakech and beyond.
Don't expect modern luxury: some of the charm is in the old fixtures and fittings...but everything works!
Our host Moha was excellent, arranging excursions for us within Marrakesh and out to the Atlas mountains.
Be warned that, while we could lock our bedroom door from the inside, we couldn't lock it when we left. However, the door of the Riad is always locked, Moha is usually around and there are only 5 rooms so you quickly get to know everyone staying; it felt really safe.
The Riad is within the Medina meaning that it is only accesible by foot. Taxies can drop you a couple of minutes walk away. We would recommend getting Moha to arrange a transfer for you, so you get taken to the door. It is about a 30-minute walk from the Riad to Djemaa el Fna depending on how lost you get wondering the Souks. We recommend using Google Maps for navigation or getting a taxi from the nearby Bab Taghzout, but be prepared to bargain hard!
If you want comfortable, authentic accommodation within the Medina with a great host, go for Riad Elixir.

Dissatisfied
This is not as it appears. It is open to the elements and noise from dogs and traffic and the mosque is going to be waking you at 6 and 6.30. They allow smoking at the breakfast table which is to all intents inside. This drifts into rooms as so enclosed. Breakfast is some triangles of bread with jam and butter. No fruit or choices. The kitchen is broken and dirty as are the showers and floors. It is hard to locate and you stand the chance of being harrarsed by local boys to escort you home at a cost of €s. Great if you are young and happy to slum it
alejandro
tiny trouble but perfect response.
congratulations to moha and his wife for providing us with outstanding service. they were there 24/7 for us. we arrived late at night, served tea and a warm welcome. the room unfortunately was dusty and the shower backed up. we did bring this up the morning after and both issues were taken care of right away. moha went out of his way to help us whichever way we needed and walked us around and explained how to get to where we wanted to go. recommended and perfect for how much it costs.

I couldn’t stay at the property because it was too dirty and not security friendly at all. I had to look for another hotel to stay when I saw the state of the Riad . The pictures he has on Expedia site of the Riad is not what you will see when you arrive. The owner should please use the money he makes from the property to renovate it. Thank you

Nice hotel in Medina the old city
Stayed 4 nights. Definitely advised. The manager is Muha, is like your friend. Great hospitality. He arranges everything for u. And you? Just enjoy vacation. Also the hotel is very authentic and nice. You will feel real Marrakech life here. Try CousCous cooked by lady at hotel. Perfect! Muha is a great friend for tourists.

Great hotel- very friendly service. Moha went over and above the call of duty on numerous occasions - nothing was too much trouble.

lovely Riad
Myself and my husband travelled for the first time to Marrackech and choose this Riad as it was in the Medina with good customer services review.
We do not regret our choice and definitely recommend it. Warmest welcome we have ever experienced and our trip was a success thanks to Moha who has given us a lot of tips about the city (fare for the taxi, how to négociate ...) he is excellent! The Riad is very authentic, 5-10 min driving to Jamal el-fna and 10 min walk from the taxi point. (In the night the area is empty and dark but all went fine).
We stay for a week and have time to go for few excursions organised by Moha. One thing which I did not appreciate is the hammam recommended the name is L'art de beauté located closed to cafe la flamme (rue du draa). I strongly do not recommend anyone to go there. The place looks nice but this is only an illusion. I.e while I took my shower the ladies from the hammam have offered \"happy ending\" to my husband... I felt very offended by this hammam which pretend to offer good time for couples.
For the rest, you can definitely ask Moha for anything, he will will get everything for you!
Thank you do much for making our trip enjoyable!

Thank you Riad Elixir!
We had a wonderful stay at Riad Elixir. Our room was spacious and comfortable. The best part of this experience was undoubtedly meeting our new friend, the Riad Elixir manager, Muha (sp?). He is absolutely fantastic.
We had a bit of trouble with our taxi driver who didn't know his way around the Medina when we arrived in Marrakech. Muha met us at the taxi, several streets away, to greet us and help us with our luggage. He attended to our every need, even made restaurant and taxi reservations for us. When we decided to take an excursion, he recommended several options, and then arranged a driver for us and another riad in a different city! When our friend left his wallet in the taxi, Muha was able to quickly call the driver and ask him to turn the car around and return to us so my friend could retrieve it. If we had taken a stranger's taxi, the wallet would've been lost for good. We were so happy with his friendship and level of hospitality that after he generously held our luggage while we moved on from Marrakech, we spent our final night in Morocco once again at Riad Elixir and we were extremely comfortable. Muha arranged our 7am taxi pick up for our trip to the airport, and he was up and available at 6am making us breakfast and coffee, and making sure we weren't left on our own. So many thanks, Muha!

Staff are second to none and ensure that you have a fab holiday. The personal service is outstanding and Moha went out of his way to ensure we did everything we wanted and more. As 2 single female travellers we felt completely safe exploring thanks to Moha's fabulous directions and assistance. A truly unique experience in the true Marrakech - highly recommended.

This is a beautiful riad and, as other reviewers have stated, Moha is incredibly helpful and friendly. The riad itself is very quiet (I was also the only person staying there during my time) and breakfast is very simple and served whenever you get up. It is definitely not luxurious but it is clean and comfortable and the roof terrace is lovely. The only thing I would note is that this riad is a very non-tourist area of the medina and seemed to be in a very conservative neighborhood. Almost every women in the neighborhood I saw outside was dressed in the traditional djellaba and headscarf. For some people this may be exactly what you are looking for - the real Marrakech. When I walked to the square in the morning (about 30min) it was about 10min before I would see other westerners. As a women alone (even respectfully dressed and completely covered) that meant getting propositioned every 30 or 40 feet either sexually or by someone who wanted to \"guide\" me. Had I been a man or with a man I think I would have had a much different and better experience in this neighborhood. As a women alone it was a bit of a gantlet. Again - this is nothing against the riad itself or the owner, who was wonderful. Depending on your circumstances, this could be a wonderful hotel.

Incredible Host, Great Riad.
Had such a great time staying at Riad Elixir, Moha is a brilliant host. After the first night my friend and I were the only people staying in the Riad so he let us change rooms from the original double we had booked to one that was slightly bigger with two seperate beds. He gave us a really helpful map of the Medina and gave us loads of useful tips and helped us plan our excursions (one to the Atlas mountains and one to Essaouira). There are sun loungers on the roof terrace which we used a lot. The location is excellent, in the Medina but far enough away (still easy walking distance) from Jemaa El Fna to escape the tourist-traps and see the real Medina. We were two girls (both 23) walking around the area by ourselves and didn't feel unsafe, even at night. If you're worried about getting lost in the labyrinth Medina there is even a bus that runs from just 2mins walk away from the Riad straight to Jemaa El Fna. Moha gave us a key and really made us feel like family, told us loads about the history of Marrakesh and the Berber people. We ended up eating at the Riad 5 out of 7 nights because the food was so good! A different Moroccan meal each evening. Breakfast is simple but good: crepes, honey, jams and different moroccan bread each day. Don't worry about the lack of pool it really wasn't a problem at all. So to summarise: Stay at this Riad, with Moha's help we were able to learn so much more about Marrakesh and Morocca than we ever could have on our own. Enjoy your stay!!

Fantastic weekend
Stayed at the Riad Elixir in what must have been off-peak season because we ended up having the whole place to ourselves. Moha was very friendly and helpful, making sure we knew how to get to attractions and back home safely at night. He even walked with us on a couple occasions and waited for us at a cafe so we could join him whenever we were done being tourists. At the riad, breakfast was ready whenever we wanted and the room was great. No problems whatsoever. Highly recommended.

this was the first time we have stayed in such a small hotel (riad) it was just like being at home except everything was done for you. After the hustle and bustle of Marrakech the riad was an oasis of peace and quiet to come back to. Moha was always on hand , be it for mint tea,a beer or giving us information what to see next was never any trouble.Would definately stay here again .

Perfect
I've wrote a longer review on trip adviser but I'll just say on here that this was a superb riad with everything you need and the service and friendliness of Moha and Fatima was out of this world and made our trip to Marrekech the experience of a life time that it was! Already planned to go back in July 2013! You can stop your search for the perfect riad it's right here!

Charming riad, excellent service
We(a young couple) stayed in Riad Elixir for a week during our new years trip to Marrakech. Although a bit hard to find(but so is every riad i the city) we had no problems staying here. The living experience felt very personal, with hands-on service from Moha, the manager. Moha was very helpful, and believes in 24 hours service for his guests, even if it meant coming to meet us in the middle of the night (slightly drunk) when we got lost on our way home from a new years eve party! The breakfast consisted of simple but tasteful food, and were served whenever we wanted it. The room was clean and nice. If you can manage to find your way easily(you probably won't), the walk to the main square Jam el Fna, is not long, but the riad is situated just far away enough from the center of the Medina, for it to feel like you are living in an authentic Maroccan neighbourhood. We would absolutely recomend living here.

Rien à dire concernant mon séjour au Riad élixir, Khalid est une personne fantastique et très souriante. Le petit déjeuner est excellent et copieux.

El Riad la atención buena aunq la comunicacion difícil xq no hablabamos el idioma. El desayuno muy rico y todo limpio.. El acceso complicado como con todos los Riad de la zona. Si diría que podrían es que el cartel del Riad se vea mejor ya que apenas es visible y eso no ayuda a su localización.

El personal del Riad fue muy amable en todo momento, el desayuno muy rico, todo el Riad limpio y la habitacion con aire acondicionado.

Ich habe mich sehr wohl gefühlt! Das Riad ist richtig hübsch, in der äußeren Medina und ruhig mit großer Dachterrasse. Gut gelegen, alles zu Fuß erreichbar. Es gab marokkanisches Frühstück mit sehr gutem Filterkaffee. Ich würde es wieder buchen!

Le riad était très beau et calme, le personnel agréable et gentil.
Petit bémol cependant pour le petit déjeuner le jour du départ.
Il est écrit dans l'annonce qu'ils servent le petit déjeuner de 05h à 12h, c'est faux.
Nous avons demandé de l'avoir pour 6h du matin car nous devions partir à 7h et ils nous l'ont refusé car \"c'est trop tôt\"
C'est dommage.

Kleine riad. Mooi kamers, heerlijk dakterras. Je zit zo bij de soeks. Man die het beheerd is heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam.

This stay was unfortunately the worst: the room was very humid and smelly (sewage kind of smell - even when we keep the windows open) to the extent that we had hard time breathing and got sick… the staff seemed to be aware of that and only ”apologized” about it (explaining that it is because they did recent works??) instead of solving the issue or not renting the room because of this serious problem until they fix it… we were dreading the time we needed to get back into the room as it smelled so bad…
The rooftop was also difficult to enjoy during the day as there are several construction sites around so it was very noisy…
And breakfast was the poorest we had during our stay in Morocco (in four different riads), with limited options and low quality ingredients (processed cheese cream, bad viennoiseries…).
The riad advertises a pool that was an empty minuscule one…
The area is also quite dodgy especially at night and we felt unsafe especially that taxis don’t get close to the riad entrance. Definitely not recommended for solo travellers (we were two and still felt unsafe…).
On the positive side, the room was well decorated and well cleaned, and the cleaning ladies were friendly and polite.
But all the negative points (especially the bad smell, humidity, and area) made the stay unpleasant and we wouldn’t recommend it. There are many better options in Marrakech.

We hebben een zeer fijn verblijf gehad. De eigenaar was zeer behulpzaam en had altijd tijd voor een praatje. Het ontbijt was heerlijk! De kamer en badkamer waren schoon.

Sjarmerende riad med god plassering i Medinaen. Et par ubeleiligheter; det var ganske fuktig på rommet vårt på bakkenivå. Det dryssa murpuss på rommet og i senga vår. Eierens datter var der med vennene sine så det ble noe bråk på kveldene fra dem.
Annet enn det så var verten Khalid helt enestående! Tilgjenglig og hjelpsom, fantastisk mann.

Experiencia horrible, es como si durmieras en la calle, el aire acondicionado de pega no funcionaba ni para frío ni para calor, la habitación un agujero las camas con dos mantas de los años 70, el baño lo peor que nunca he visto para echarse a llorar. Lo único que se salva es la amabilidad del dueño del Riad, ayuda en todo lo que puede. Ofrece un desayuno muy básico (café, pan con mantequilla, mermelada y quesitos. Un zumo de naranja y una pieza de bollería)
La ubicación muy alejada de cualquier lugar con vida, entre callejones estrechos sin nada de vida .

This riad is very cozy and beautiful, and a little bit away from the heart of the Medina, making it a bit quiter and nicer. While we were there, my friend got sick from food poisoning (from eating at another restaurant somewhere in the Medina, NOT at the Riad Elixir!). We got extremely much help from Khalid, which is the sweetest man I have ever met. Words cannot describe how kind he is. He helped us during the night, got medicine for us, called taxi to the hospital and even joined us at the hospital and waited with us. Anyone who is able to meet him and get to know him is very lucky. We didn’t get to experience the pool or the rooftop, but it looked amazing. I highly recommend this riad. It is also very clean and fresh, with the perfect Moroccan interior design. Make sure to check it out if you are in Marrakech!

Très belle experience dans cette riyad. Les hotes étaient à l'écoute, au petit soin pour nous. Kalid nous emmenait au taxi, au rdv pour les excursions ! Au top ! Endroit calme, on se sent comme un petit cocon. Le repas était très bien et copieux. Il est vrai que dans les autres commentaires que j'avais vu il y a à 6h15 la prière mais on s'habitue. Ça fait partie de l'ambiance. Restaurant à 5 minutes typique et qui est bien noté par trip advisor. Souk a 10 minutes à pied.
