Riad Marelia Riad Marélia

We stayed here for 3 nights and it was a lovely experience. It’s located very close to Bahia palace which is convenient but it gets a little dark around here at night. It is very pretty with a large terrace space to chill.
Brahim made our trip very special with his friendly and warm hospitality. He manages everything at the riad and provides good advice for your trip otherwise as well.
A couple of things that could’ve made it even better — the pool mentioned in advertisements is not really a pool you could sit or swim in so keep in mind while booking. And they don’t give you a key to the main entrance of the riad so you will have to wait a few seconds for someone to open the door. This makes it a tad bit difficult to come back late at night and having to wait outside.
But all in all, amazing experience and would definitely recommend!

I cannot fault the host. He was an elderly gentleman, who did his best to help us with sourcing a taxi for an early morning flight. Unfortunately there was a language barrier, so we didn't always understand each other.
The riad itself is a lovely space, unfortunately our room was lacking any working plug points. Both beds were broken, as they made a lot of noise, whenever you moved.
Our room faced the main street, and was quite noisy, day and night.
There were nowhere to hang clothes and nothing to hand them with, so we literally lived out of the suitcase.
The Wi-Fi was very intermittent, only being able to get coverage when either by the bedroom door, or downstairs in the reception area.
The riad says breakfast included, however breakfast was nothing other than re heated bread, omelette. And Luke warm coffee or mint tea every day.
We had an episode were we returned from a spa day, there was noone to let us back in, so we stood outside for approximately 10-15 minutes, the contact number on the website does not work.
The riad is located close to many attractions and the main square, which is a bonus.
The rating it has I believe needs to be lowered.

The most recommended place to stay in Marrakech. Ibrahim and the other staff were so kind. Clean rooms and aesthetic interior design.

Very close to the Medina however, the streets in which it is located are not the safest at night. The check-in did not went smoothly, so be aware if you book with Booking. The hotel itself needs maintenance, lamps are fixed with tape & everything is dusty. The bathroom was really nice. The beds were the WORST part of the whole hotel. The mattresses were bend and I never slept that badly. Lastly, the window looking on the street only has a wooden panel to close it, so it does not block any noise at all.

The location is super okay; service and the host is super helpful and sincere. Rooms are a little bit outdated, a little bit impacted by the earthquake, but still in liveable condition. Cleanliness and food could be much better, but still fine!

3 nights experience.
Very clean and impecable.
Brahim is a sweetheart, but quiet in overall. Loved the panckakes. He doesn't speak english, just some french.
Shower is metalic, so do not open the hot water first! (Right). Neither close the cold water. It burns!
Good price.
This is the right number, which is from their instagram page +33767492477
It is just a place to sleep, do not expect much guidance (maps, contacts, specific suggestion), you have to find and chose online, by yourself.
Breakfast has no protein (eggs or cheese), so just the heads up.
They now have hair dryer, which is great help!
My room was noisy, because is over the street (salomé), but it is part of the experience. Bring earplugs (I forgot mine) so I was waking up earlier than usual : (
There are not tables/chairs to put our stuff in the room, only two tiny night tables, so our stuff was always in the floor.
There is a paper in the room saying the riad open until 12:30am but in reality it was until midnight (even if it is the ramadan excuse, the paper must be updated). This must also be inform with the booking, as I wanted to be out later. I totally understand it is to help the manager sleep patern, but I would prefer to know and pick another place as we are young. Expedia says 24 hours front desk but they don't have enough staff to do this.
Expedia say spa treatments, but I couldn't even get a phone number to book a hammam, so no spa, neither information.

Riad Marelia, is a beautiful Riad, with very kind and helpful staff. The Riad is perfectly situated, very easy to access, so perfect for solo female travellers, as it is not tucked away in small alleys.
The only down side is that it might be a bit noisy depending on where your room is situated, but the street is only busy during the day.
Brahim the Care taker of the house is so very nice, he makes you feel like you are home.
The interior is traditional modern and has a unique flare. Breakfast is delicious, different breads and jam and eggs. I'm sure if you like something else Brahim would make it for you.
I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely revisit.
