It was really a wonderful stay. The staff was so accommodating and really fulfilled our every wish. The food was fantastic. A perfect place to relax!
Mertan, 6-night trip

6/10 Good

The riad courtyard is really beautiful but the surrounding streets are not very clean. The room is designed to look nice. However, the water for the shower was not very hot, the tap for the sink was dripping and the carpet not very clean with hair and fluff on it. The absolute worst thing was the CRAZY amount of noise from the mosque every day at 6.30!am. We have lived in Dubai so used to that. But this is on a whole other level. The man seems to be screaming for a very long time. We had little sleep during our stay due to noise from the area and the early call to prayer. The main reason for the low rating here. The Moroccan staff are lovely and very helpful but they do keep trying to sell airport transfers, half day tour (without telling us the cost we were forced into this as we were told you cannot possibly manage the Medina without a guide- not true). We were later charged €60 fir a half day tour. A shame. Not about the money but the lack of transparency and pressure put on us just after we have arrived after a long journey, feeling super tired. We certainly won’t stay there as the noise was unbearable but because of these practices. We did receive a bottle of wine for our 50th birthday which was very thoughtful so want to say Thank you! Hope in future can inform guests prior yo arrival about the noise and not be pushy to sell overpriced services.

Fue la mejor experiencia de nuestro viaje a Marrakech. Lo más importante, las personas que hay trabajando allí. Youssef, Nabil, Ilham y Omar son personas increíbles que hacen de la estancia allí sea una maravilla. Tuvimos el placer de compartir charlas muy interesantes y nos hicieron sentir como en casa. Representan fielmente la cultura del país haciendo honor a su amabilidad y hospitalidad. Además , el riad es precioso y muy bien cuidado, hacen que puedas desconectar y disfrutar de cada rincón de el.

사막속의 오아시스
중정의 오렌지 나무와 수영장이 아주 멋드러진 곳입니다. 위치는 메디나 중심에서는 조금 벗어나 있고, 제마 엘나 광장까지 도보로 20 분 정도 걸립니다. 메디나 중심의 관광지가 아닌 현지인들 동네에 있는 리야드인지라 현지 시장의 분위기와 오지랖을 흠뻑 느끼기 좋습니다. 그런 부산함을 뒤로하고 문 안으로 들어오면 물소리만이 들리는 고요한 리야드가 마음을 편안하게 해줍니다. 늦은 밤 체크인에도 불구하고 아주 맛있는 저녁식사를 준비해준 스태프에게 감사드립니다. 정말 최고로 맛있는 야채스프였어요. 피아노와 장식 등이 굉장히 고풍스럽습니다. 다만 바로옆에 모스크가 있어 새벽 여섯시에 강제 기상을 하게 됩니다. 독특한 경험을 하기에 최적의 숙소에요!

Tranquil and pretty
Riad was beautiful and really calming to stay in. Eating breakfast / dinner in the evening on the terrace was lovely. This might not be so nice in cold weather, although there were outdoor heaters. The food was good and the property itself is well kept. The staff are friendly and very helpful. They provide you with a list of some of the main attractions and show you where these are on the map, but equally you can make your own plans. The room was a little cosy for 2 friends, but would be excellent if you were a couple. The only downside of the room was that there were no curtains (frosted windows) which means you will get light in the room in the morning. Also as the Riad is next to a mosque you will hear the call to prayer very early morning. Otherwise, the stay was very good and the property a peaceful sanctuary from the mayhem of the city,

This is such an exceptional riad! Alexandra, the owner is beyond amazing. She was so gracious and generous with her time, ensuring that we had a proper introduction to Marrakech. She went above and beyond. The entire staff is kind and professional. The whole place exudes peace and beauty. Our room was immaculate. The decor is just stunning- everything so attentively restored. The food was delicious. We were sad to leave.

Beautiful Riad! The owner is Australian so it has all the comforts expected by Westerners as well as the charm and warmth of the local Marrakech people. The rooftop terrace is great. We ate dinner there and it was our favorite meal in all of Morocco. Breakfast was huge and eggs cooked to order. Our room, Olivia, was lovely, big and comfortable. Only con is the WiFi strength at times. Otherwise, it is a superb choice in Marrakech. Much better than a big, impersonal hotel.

A Very Nice Stay
Our stay at the Riad Emberiza Sahari was a very pleasant experience. Alexandra (owner) and the staff were nothing short of fantastic. We easily saved a few hours at local tourist stops with her sharing tips on where to get tickets/how to avoid lines. Complimentary breakfast that came with your stay was great, comprised of made to order eggs, along with an assortment of fresh squeezed juices, coffee, tea, multiple breads, fruit salads, and yogurts. The entire staff was extremely pleasant. They have a very nice rooftop to unwind after a day walking through the city, with drinks made to order if that is of interest to you. The level of cleanliness inside the riad (rooms, rooftop terrace, communal spaces were all top notch.) Information that may be worth noting: The rooms do not come with locks and padlocks must be requested upon arrival. With that said, it should be noted padlocks were quickly provided upon request and we had absolutely zero issues all week. Security guards and multiple doors needing keys/entry permissions prevent any unwanted outsiders from venturing into the riad. The internet was a tad on the slower side. Safety deposit boxes were not bolted down in the rooms and rooms did not come with TVs. The area immediately surrounding the riad is a bit tougher than you would like (not much they can control). You must walk a block to get a cab With all of this said, we had a lovely stay and would definitely return.

Superior Riad in Marrakech
This Riad is an oasis in the frenetic city of Marrakech. The property has been stylized in a really tasteful manner. The rooms are serviced daily and spotless. The breakfast is in the courtyard, with the smell of orange blossoms and the water feature flowing. There is a chef should you chose to have dinner in. There wasn’t any request, I.e. tours, that wasn’t handled. Julienne was the manager while i was there. She would check each morning to see if dinner plans/reservations were needed. I stayed eight days and didn’t want to leave. I doubt there is a finer Riad in the city.

An oasis fit for the king
Hidden in a quiet street within the Médina. An oasis and an escape from the chaos outside. Lovely courtyard with pool and orange and lemon trees. Rooms well appointed with most amenities. Gorgeous terrace roof. Staff is there to meet your every need and they have exceeded expectations. After traveling to other parts of the country, I have to say this tops them all.

Erg leuke en mooie Riad in het midden van de Medina! Dicht bij de taxi-route en taxipunt, en toch 20min te voet van de souls. Enorm vriendelijk ontvangst, en constante hulpvaardigheid. We hebben er eveneens lekker gegeten. De riad is erg mooi en authentiek ingericht. De bedden waar wel nogal kort met een hardere matras. Jammer dat op de flesjes niet aangeduid stond wat er juist inzit, toch vervelend als je het eerst moet uitproberen vooraleer je weet dat het vb de shampoo is. Toch een sterk aan te raden adresje!!

Fantastic Stay, Great Staff
We stayed at the Riad for 4 nights in early November 2018. Positives The property itself is lovely inside, with the terrace in particular being very nice. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. They were always available to help us out whenever we needed it whether to get a taxi or to make reservations at restaurants or other attractions. Overall we had a wonderful stay Negative WiFi was a bit spotty in room but fine in public areas The surrounding area was undergoing a lot of construction and the approach to the Riad had been dug up. They seemed to be working quickly and I’m sure the work will be done soon. Calls to prayer - more a feature of the city than with this property, the Médina has many mosques, you will hear calls to prayer. They may wake you up at dawn. If this is not desirable earplugs would be useful.

Perfect Riad.
My husband and I stayed at this beautiful Riad recently for five nights. The Riad is located in a great location - an easy walk into the center of the Medina, but on a quieter street. We stayed in the Isadora room and it was beautiful. The bathroom was spacious and the entire place was spotless. Alexandra was a great hostess, helping us each day plan what to do and tips for getting around the city. It truly felt like you were staying at a close friend's home, as you were greeted at the door each time you arrived. Because it is a small Riad (only 6 rooms), it has the feel of a house so you will hear the breakfast being set up in the morning and dinner being cleaned up at night in the courtyard. But to me that adds to the feeling of staying at house rather than a generic hotel. Highly recommend booking dinner at the Riad on your first night also. There is a beautiful room terrace with plenty of space also to enjoy the sunrise or sunset. Can't recommend this place highly enough!

Fantastiskt fint riad som jag varmt rekommenderar! God frukost, sköna sängar och väldigt smakfullt inrett! En lugn oas i en hektisk stad. Ägaren/värdinnan hjälpte oss med alla möjliga frågor och tipsade om aktiviteter och sevärdheter. Om jag åker tillbaka till Marrakech är mitt val av boende självklart, jag väljer Riad Emberiza Sahari.
