Riad Gallery 49

Beautiful quiet riad off the busy areas. Hosts and staff were lovely and very helpful, including meeting us where the taxi could drop us and walking us to the riad, and helping us carry luggage when we left (even if we didn't need it!). Location can be a bit hard to find without guide so accept the help on arrival. Also be aware in Marrakesh some walkways in the medina near the square are closed at night so know your routes. In the riad one feels constantly pampered. Tea and nibbles appeared for us whenever we returned from an excursion. Room was not large but beautifully appointed with a profusion of luxurious spa toiletries and rose petals scattered about to greet us!. There's a tiny and very personal hammam on site. We were able to order a lovely dinner on site the night of our arrival, including a bottle of wine. The dining area on the terrace is cool and inviting. Overall a lovely stay.

They have a beautiful wood stove and know exactly when to serve tea and they share it a lot! It is easy to keep in touch with those that speak English via WhatsApp on their WiFi and I used Google translate for some of the staff who don’t and they could hear what I was trying to say in Arabic then easily help me with what I needed. I ran the marathon there and was officially checked out but they were more than happy to let me use a different bathroom to shower before my flight. The main contact consistently checked in with me and you actually get a choice when you have breakfast! One morning I had it at 10 am on the terrace and the other I had near the fire in a cozy room at 6:30 am. Both breakfasts were slightly different but equally tasty! I would highly recommend this hole in the wall…it literally is like this little oasis after it feels like a maze to have found it, traveling down tight (somewhat dirty but with character!) between areas of the neighborhood that were affected by the 2023 earthquake until you then happen upon this gem. Thank you for a lovely stay! It was well worth me spending a little more than I had planned on a hotel for the treat me like a queen service.

We were pleasantly surprised to find this hidden jewel of a hotel. The staff are the most courteous and helpful group of individuals you will ever find. The facility itself was immaculately clean and beautiful at all times. Our room was comfortable, spacious and neatly decorated with local accents that made our experience the more beautiful. The hotel is within walking distance Yo all the shopping at the Medina and the nightlife around the plaza. We will definitely come back to this hotel in our next trip to Marrakesh.
