It was a very nice and cozy riad. Elias and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. They served a traditional Moroccan breakfast, which was delicious and had a nice variety. I also really liked the location of the riad – it’s right in the medina where there’s a lot going on, but as soon as you step inside, it feels calm and peaceful.

Welcoming Riad, in the middle of Medina. Quiet somehow. Not easy taxi access, so we did walk with our luggages through the medina. Walking distance to souk and bahia palace, and all the other attractions. We stayed only one night, but i would recommend if you want to have a flavour of the old medina.

Magigal place with beautiful tram

Our stay was great from start to finish. Elias welcomed us with tea and made sure we started to relax straight away. We had questions, he had the answers.we had just to say what we needed and he organised it for us. I also highly recommend the hammam and massage provided in the property. The 2 ladies who looked after us with breakfast were so lovely 😍 Oh and the dinner we had at the property was the best Tajine 👌 in all 7 days in Marrakesh. I would highly recommend a stay with Elias and the team.

Cute little find in the heart of Morocco! I've never stayed at a riad before, but the hosts were super welcoming and accommodating. The only downside of the stay was the bathroom. The water kept fluctuating from super hot (I burned my hands when washing them once) and super cold when I showered. The water pressure was also really low which made it a bit difficult to shower but other than that, it was a great place and beautiful! The location was a bit alarming at first but we ended up feeling super safe!

Great location in the heart of the old town (Medina) area of Marrakesh. Easy walk to the Souks and lots of the nearby attractions. The old town is a bit of a maze, but google maps led me right to the alley leading to the Riad. Riad was beautiful inside - a nice calm respite from the busy world all around. Very kind and helpful staff. Breakfast was enjoyable. Would absolutely stay here again.

Very well centred riad in the heart of Marrakech. The riad is located quite close to most of the city attractions and can be easily reached via foot. The host/staff, everyone was very lovely and welcoming. The owner gave us tips on how to get around and to avoid getting scammed which helped us since it was our first time visiting Marrakech. Overall very pleasant stay, sad to be back to reality 😭😭

We could not recommend this as a place to stay - Great location and was easy to walk around, close the food restaurants. loved that we could decide when we have breakfast! Also as a VIP we were offered a traditional hammam, which was lovely and the massage which was paid for, as one of the best I have had! The Hotel manager was personable and was approachable and catered to our needs.

This Riad is a piece of paradise in this crazy world. Once you step through the beautiful front door, a beautiful, quiet oasis awaits you. Hosted by Said and his wife Majda, who will make you a wonderful traditional lunch or dinner upon request. This Riad is like an English B&B but in another world. Authentic Morrocan, quiet, great service, and a nice breakfast. Nothing was too much trouble for Mr. Said, he is a great host. We hope to come back.

Charming classic Riad.

Our stay at Riad Elias was very good. The owner/ manager was very welcoming and friendly. The room was clean and spacious. The sun deck on the roof was great for getting away from the hustle and bustle of the Medina for a bit of sun and relaxation. The breakfast was delicious and very comprehensive. All staff were extremely helpful. The location of the Riad is good with a 5 minute walk to the Jemaa el-Fnaa square and very close to lots of the markets and souks. The bed in the room was extremely hard but did not take away from the sleep quality to be honest. When you check in, you are given a key for the room but not for the front door of the Riad so you are reliant on knocking and a member of staff to let you in. Overall, the Riad oozes the Marrakesh culture and Charm. It is stunning once inside and I would 100% stay again if returning to Marrakech. We had an issue with the shower not working correctly which was quickly resolved by the staff which was great.

Riad situated in a great location close to the main square. Once inside it was lovely and quiet. The owner was very friendly and when we arrived we were given water and advised where we could exchange money and what to expect to pay for taxis . If we had any questions, we only had to ask. Breakfast was quite simple, consisting of croissants, bread and pancakes, juice and coffee. On the last day of our stay we were offered omelette which was very welcome. Our room was on the top floor opening out onto the courtyard. It was basic but spacious and suited us for our 4 night stay.

It was an incredible stay in Marrakech. The location is amazing in the heart and bustle of the Madina. The proprietor Said was always their taking care of every need even late at night. This is an authentic Riad experience through the ally ways of the Madina and a few mins walk to Jamaa-Elfna. Call Said before you get there and he will send somebody to help you with the bags. The staff are so friendly and the rooms are authentic and very comfortable and very clean. The rooftop setting is wonderful to hang out on during the cool Marrakech evenings with nice sofas and tables. All in all I highly recommend it. We stayed 4 nights.

Can't recommend enough!

Saïd and the family were so welcoming and friendly from our first minutes in Morocco. Being our first time, the whole crew was so knowledgeable and informative about where the best places to go/avoid were to ensure we were safe and had fun. Extremely accommodating to all of our food and dietary needs, and even brought us a fruit bowl on our last morning. Beautiful setting with gorgeous pool in the middle, where everyone was friendly and hung out in the common areas. Such a fun time exploring the different cultures and learning from the natives. The Riad is in a fantastic location in the center of the city, but with enough privacy to still feel safe coming home at the end of the night. You truly feel like family staying here, and the whole experience is individualized to meet your needs. Will definitely be back again to see the lovely city of Marrakesh and would never stay anywhere but our home away from home, the Riad Elias

Riad Elias is a beautiful place, clean and peaceful, but it was spoilt by our frosty welcome. Said wasn’t there when we arrived at 7.30pm (we are a group of 6 middle aged women) but his wife was, and ushered us to sit in the lounge area. When Siad arrived 10 mins later, we asked to see our rooms and he insisted that we eat first as his wife had been up since 7.30am. We explained we had been travelling and needed to freshen up so he reluctantly showed us our rooms. We had booked junior suites so each room should have had a single bed and a double bed - only one room had this. Again he was very grumpy with us, told us that he couldn’t do anything about it that evening. Dinner was delicious but the atmosphere was somewhat spoilt. He continued to be argumentative with us until the last day, we weren’t sure if it was because we were travelling as a group of women without a male usher or because we had just got off to a bad start. Great location, clean, tidy and the ladies who made and served our breakfast were simply delightful.
