    The bed was too soft, cheap furniture and synthetic bed covers (but sheets were clean), Room was dark and the lighting was that harsh frost white colour I had to leave at 8 am and all I was offered was a cup of luke-warm coffee

    Good location, 5 mins walk from nearest car access point Two large nice towels (for one person) Inexpensive

    The beds were not very comfortable and I found the rooms quite noisy. For the price I expected a bit more comfort.

    The staff is extremely friendly and had a very positive impact on my stay.

    Why TF there is not even a sign to show it’s a hotel!? It’s virtually impossible to find it unless you ask around locals some of whom demand money when you find it. Seriously, put up a sign at the entrance!!

    Nice room and staff

    The breakfast,which didn't consist of much, unfortunately it is the worst breakfast I have ever came across anywhere by far

    Had a short stay in Riad Elijah which was enjoyable, lovely Riad with great views of the mountains staff were very pleasant and helpful,if I've one complaint,it's the breakfast which didn't consist of much, thankfully there is a few eating establishments in the local area to choose from

    I had picked this place because all the reviews mentioned how helpful the host was but unfortunately on my visit, I arrived late and while the staff was kind they didn't speak much English so I didn't get all the info- like the host could help with excursions (apparently wayyy better prices), we could have had our room made up every day and we never got breakfast because we always had to leave before it started. The shower head was kind of broken and we figured out the 2nd night the AC wasn't plugged in but it all worked out.

    I wish I could say I was happier with my stay here... However, I did feel safe, it was comfortable and provided a place to rest my head.

    Our room was subterranean so it can get quite damp and stuffy air especially after showering. There was an air-conditioning unit in the room so the staff has done what they can to help. The location sits in between the extremely tourist-focused souks and local businesses. You will get treated very differently depending on which direction you approach the Riad from. It didn't ever feel dangerous but beware of your behaviour and ask for advice from the staff if you are unsure.

    The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming to families. We felt very comfortable and enjoyed the company, advice and recommendations. The riad is cosy and the room had some authentic details. The location was very convenient for visits within the medina and Gueliz.

    Small points for us: Depending on tbe time of day the hot water may be used up from the other guests. So if you're a late riser, note you may have warm water rather than hot. Due to the architecture of the riad , the wifi dropped out in the room on the 1st floor but we were able to connect of we pointed our devices toward the court yard area. But the wifi is great in the dining and lounge.

    The host Zak was very caring, knowledgeable and genuine. He was always available if we needed advice or tourist suggestions. The ladies in the kitchen were wonderful, they cooked fantastic food and had great hospitality. It was great staying in a riad, the decor made it feel very traditional Moroccan home. The location was close to the local market and 12mins walk from the medina. There were lots of place to relax, sofas and up on the terrace.

    Misleading information on Booking.com
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Twin Room
    • Stayed 6 nights

    Many information on booking about the place is false and misleading It's actually a guest house not a hotel There is no 24h reception as mentioned The location is in a side narrow alley, no cars can reach the entrance The entrance is very difficult to find, it's secured with metal gate. Looks similar to the local houses around The room is quite narrow. The furniture is very old No much storage space No waste bin The location of electricity socket is poor The dim light is not working The toilet seat is shaky and unstable We had a water outage problem once The WiFi is not working The lights of the bathroom went down, they came later to change the bulb There is only one lady serving the place and she does not speak English There is no Bidet There is no City view or Mountain view, it is only side way narrow street There is no Soundproof rooms Actually 70% of the facilities mentioned on Booking.com were absent

    Affordable, good location, nice clean The decoration is amazing The air condition is fairly working Helpful staff They booked us a taxi to take us to the airport for 15 Eur

    Lovely traditional Riad at a great price. Staff were lovely and very welcoming. I stayed 2 nights and was fed with a good breakfast. They also allowed me to leave a bag for a night in the Riad while I visited the mountains which was really helpful. Thanks so much 😊

    Our room was filthy, dark, and damp smelling. The owners provide the bare minimum… not even a rubbish bin in the bathroom or hooks to hang towels. We considered looking for alternative accomodation after the first night, but this Riad wasn’t super cheap compared to others in the area, and we couldn’t justify the additional cost. Breakfast was lacklustre. We’ve travelled all through Morocco and stayed in numerous Riads that were half the price, and have had lovely experiences. Marrakech is hectic, and not having somewhere comfortable to escape for some chill time was a real dampener on our trip. Unless they put some love into this place, I would not recommend

    Only redeeming quality was a nice staff
