Nothing

We had a wonderful stay at Riad Simon! The rooms were comfortable and clean. The highlight by far was how helpful, friendly and welcoming Simon and his team were. Nothing was too much to ask! Also the location was in the heart of the Medina which was perfect for exploring Marrakech.

Not sure if I did something wrong but my room's air conditioning automatically stopped at about 8am.

Located in the centre of the medina area which made my exploration within the medina extremely convenient. Good air-conditioning. Friendly staff. Free luggage storage.

That said, the entrance is quite hard to find, the door is small and inside the Medina. It took me about 10 minutes to locate it while dragging a heavy suitcase, asking locals for directions. One surprising moment: I returned to my room to find a cat sleeping on the bed. It seems a small window had been left open, allowing the cat to come and go. I don't dislike cats, but it felt a bit uncomfortable. The room was also quite dim, which made it difficult to work on a laptop. If you're looking for a local, immersive Medina experience, this place has charm—and for those wanting to experience a riad at a reasonable price, it could be a nice choice.

The location is excellent, just steps from Jemaa el-Fnaa, right in the heart of the Medina. Step outside and you’re immersed in the energy of Marrakech, which is perfect for people who want to explore the old city. I stayed in a deluxe room, which was spacious and came with a kettle, coffee, and basic amenities. I was welcomed with a refreshing glass of orange juice, which was a nice touch and at home feeling.

Riad Simon is a perfect choice in every way! The riad is in a great location, and the Marrakesh atmosphere hits you the moment you step outside. The main square is close by, and you’re literally in the heart of the Medina. The place itself is clean, comfortable, and beautiful. There’s also a large rooftop terrace. Simon, the owner, is a very friendly, kind, and welcoming person. He’s very flexible, you can talk to him about anything, and he’s always ready to help. On top of that, he has a cat called “Sisi” who, surprisingly really good at playing football 😀 I can recommend this accommodation to anyone. Naturally, since it’s in the middle of the Medina, it can sometimes be noisy, but that’s true for all of Marrakesh, as the city lives 24/7. So you really can’t go wrong with this place—it’s a perfect option for solo travelers, couples, or even families.

Lovely little riad near the main square. They have a really friendly little cat who is just adorable. The host was great and printed our boarding passes for the airport too. I was worried it might be noisy as it's on a main street but we didn't have any issues.

Shower needed better cleaning

The host was very very nice. He worked hard to make sure we enjoyed our stay. The bedroom was clean and had two beds. The shower in the bathroom was dirty. I picked up slippers to solve the problem. The terrace where breakfast was served was lovely and the included breakfast was good. Out the front door you were in the middle of all the action. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

It's not really a dislike, but I mentioned to Simon that I had got a fright when the people above me dropped something heavy. He immediately offered me a different room and made sure that I was comfortable. You can hear people talking and moving about, but it's not bad. The bed was a little firm but still comfortable.

Right in the middle of the bustling Medina, you open the door into a tranquil space. I was welcomed with a cold drink and waited for a short while for my air-conditioned room to get cleaned, which was then done daily. Breakfast was big and delicious and served on the room terrace with the cat and a tortoise for company. Hot water and toiletries on the compact bathroom, and this is the first place where I've had a safe in my room.

Riad Simon was an oasis amidst the chaos of the medina. From the moment we arrived Simon and his team could not have done more for us, even Ceecee the cat was welcoming and happy to share an afternoon siesta. The accommodation was spotless with comfortable beds, a great shower and lovely breakfasts. Simon arranged a day trip for us and gave recommendations for places to eat. We will definitely be returning.
