Reviews of Riad Palais MERYEM

This Riad is in a very good location, on the edge of the Medina which is convenient for taxis and Trip pickups, but also in an area with its traditional character and atmosphere. Opening the door reveals an 'oasis' of calm, and attractive traditional decor. The rooms were nicely furnished and serviced,. clean and comfortable with flexible lighting, TV, fridge, good quality bedlinen and towels; and well functioning shower. The breakfasts were excellent, freshly prepared orange juice, crepes #, pancakes and breads, yoghurt with granola and fruit, omelette, fresh fruit and mint tea or coffee. This was served on the very attractive rooftop terrace which also had sunloungers. The hosts, Muhammed and Yousef were exceptional- kind, thoughtful, and helpful; We were told "It was like family" when we arrived-and it was!

Nothing.

Very charming hotel, nice roof deck, with great service, and the food was very good.

The single room was exceedingly small, with no natural light. Hotel was very hard to find, in a small unpleasant alley.

Beautiful clean and comfortable riad. The pool was fantastic. Now let’s talk about the staff: I only stayed for one night, but I became ill and was very unwell. The manager, Mohammed, was incredible. He helped me to find a hospital and visited me many times to check on my well-being. This was incredible service and I am very grateful thank you Mohammad and thank you Riad Meryem.

There was nothing I didn’t like

It’s a relatively new Riad and quite easy to find. It was really clean and comfortable. Breakfast was excellent better than I expected. Mohammed and Youssef were particularly very helpful and awesome guys, they made our stay comfortable.

Honestly nothing worth criticism

Quiet clean - friendly staff

My mum and I have just returned from a 3 night stay and it could not have been more prefect. The two hosts of this beautiful traditional Riad arranged the transfer for us so when we arrived there was someone waiting with our name who whisked us back to check in drop her bags and waited for us making sure we arrived in time for our dinner reservations at Comptoir Darna. The same driver was able to pick us up and take us back as well. Breakfast was served on the rooftop it was so peaceful everything was home-made fresh juice, fresh bread, home-made jams, omelette and salad and as if that was not enough fresh fruit, yoghurt and granola as well. This set is up for the day with hot coffee and the location was superb we were able to walk straight into the Medina and navigate using our iPhone which we connected to the WiFi in the Riad. Walking distance for almost everywhere 13 min from Ell Fenn for cocktails -10 minutes from Bacha Coffee (we never managed to visit ! 2 hours wait time !) and all the famous landmarks you would wish to visit. The weather was beautiful 31 and we were able to lie out on the sun-beds which is what for us makes this place stand out from other Riads. The beds in the room were so comfortable as well with beautiful crisp white linen and we were able to connect our accounts to the TV in the room for Netflix and YouTube. We had dinner in the Riad one evening as well and like breakfast there were many delicious courses and such good value. Thank you Youssef and Mohammed you made our stay so relaxing we had no stress about getting to and from the airport which was vital for a short stay. All the other guests were really nice people too.

Nothing comes to mind

All the members of staff we encountered were welcoming, friendly and helpful; they couldn’t do enough to help and were always available, greeting linemen you as you came in and left. The riad is beautiful, decorated in the traditional style. It’s situated just inside the medina so only a short walk when getting taxis but because of that it is more of a walk in to the centre. We, however, enjoyed the walk to rough the r markets where the r locals meet and further on in to the tourist areas.

Not a ‘didn’t like’ but our preference would be for the breakfast to be less bread/pancake/cake based.

The riad is in a great location — right on the edge of the Medina, so it’s peaceful yet just a short walk from the city center. It’s also close to a square where you can easily find taxis and buses. The surrounding area is full of local food vendors and small eateries, giving it an authentic and lively atmosphere that’s a pleasure to explore. The riad itself is absolutely beautiful, decorated with handcrafted tiles and intricate woodwork. The rooms are charming and very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful, with fresh and genuine local products. What really made our stay exceptional, though, was the staff — incredibly kind, helpful, and attentive to every detail. A special thanks to Youssef, whose constant smile and assistance made organizing our activities and transfers effortless, and to Mohamed for his kindness. We can’t wait to come back!

The atmosphere and the food.

Spotlessly clean. The staff were fantastic, the food was good. The rooms were lovely. What a little gem.

There was nothing that I didnt like.

Everything, especially the food, personal & Rooftop

Nothing!!

Best host ever. Thanks Mohamed. And thanks to Youseff as well.

Beautiful Riad In Marrakech. Great staff, lovely breakfast, great location.

Nothing.

The property was amazing. The room was spacious and the location, although close enough from the busy main streets of the Madina, was very quiet and calm. Mohamed, the property manager, went above and beyond to make my stay perfect. He helped me plan different excursions and ensured that all logistics went smoothly. I would definitely highly recommend this Riad.

Nothing.

It was very peaceful and quiet despite being close to everything we wanted to see!

The location was just right to explore the Medina. Mohammed was a fantastic host who would help with everything including all tours and advise.

Having to leave after just three great days

The Riad is very beautiful, clean, and quiet. Youssef is a great host and treated us very well. We had dinner at the Riad, and the food was really good.

Stylish, clean, good position

Maybe only the street where it is located as it feels a bit ran down and concerning at first impact, but then you feel safe once you get to know the area

Our stay at this Riad was nothing short of exceptional. The entire place was spotless, beautifully maintained, and always filled with a pleasant scent. We were constantly in awe of its stunning architecture and timeless charm. The room was spacious and well-equipped, and waking up in the middle of the night to gaze at the intricate ceiling felt like stepping back into the era of Moroccan dynasties; absolutely breathtaking! The location is ideal; right at the entrance of the Medina; so there’s no need for a long walk to reach it. Mohamed went above and beyond to assist us with our luggage and made us feel truly at home. He shared wonderful insights about Marrakesh and the Medina, was incredibly attentive, and always greeted us with a warm, genuine smile. He was just a call away whenever we needed anything. Breakfast on the rooftop was a delight, fresh, delicious, and the perfect start to each day. I can’t recommend this Riad highly enough. If you’re heading to Marrakesh, don’t miss the chance to stay here; you won’t regret it!

Nothing

"Perfect location in Marrakesh—close to everything yet peaceful. Mustafa, the host, went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. Highly recommended!"

All three of us fell in love with the place: staff, location, food, charm... we certainly plan to return to Morocco, to Marrakesh and to this absolutely lovely riad! Best lodgings on our itinerary, as a matter of fact!

We have only the best to say about our stay at Riad Meryem! Gorgeous place, kind staff, true hospitality.
