Hotel El Kennaria is a great riad if you set your expectations correctly. It excels in value and location but comes with one significant trade-off. Pros: Fantastic location in the Old Medina. You step right into the heart of the markets and are a short walk to the main square. New Marrakesh is a quick 10-12 minute taxi away. Helpful front desk staff (e.g. ask them how to turn on heat, AC. Clean rooms and common areas. Simple, no-frills breakfast is included. Major Con: Evening noise from the rooftop restaurant (typically 9:30 PM - 11:30 PM). If you're sensitive to sound or plan to sleep early, this is not for you. If you're out late or can sleep through it, you'll be fine. Room for 4 people is tight. Verdict: Reasonably priced for travelers who prioritize location and don't mind noise. Avoid if you need absolute quiet for an early night.

wish for a menu option for breakfast.no ac and the rooms were very hot

It was great. Very clean, great breakfast, very central. The only problem is that some days, a band plays on the rooftop restaurant until about 11 pm and it is very loud in the rooms.

The hotel was under construction. They suppose not to offer rooms. The room was not even ready with no toilet accessories and AC was not functioning properly. Very Bad experiance

Excelente, cerca de la plaza y medina

Location is prime, entertainment was great, the connected rooftop restaurant was good quality. The entertainment resonated into the hotel unfortunately making it hard to get to sleep as it went on until quite late but stopped before midnight. Overall positive experience here

The service at Riad Hotel has been very good. I liked the support I received from staff like Hassan, Toufik and Zize. They gave me good traditional Morrocan food options at the hotel and places to visit in town. Very safe place to stay whilst in Marrakesh.

We were right off Jamaa al Fnaa, the shopping and dining was great, loud and always busy. It's worth noting that the square is only open to cars/taxis in the morning, so if you arrive in the afternoon or evening you'll have to walk approx 10-15 min to reach the riad. Something to bear in mind if you have elderly travellers. Staff were amazing, they helped me book private tours for my parents to atlas mountains and agafay desert.

Hotel is very centrally located however downside is the restaurant on the terrace which has very loud music until late evenings plus lots of street noise from outside. Room was ok, but bathroom lacks basic facilities, needs upgraded and is tiny. Great location though as only 3 minutes walk from the square. Staff is good and breakfast is nice and filling, although a little variety would be good rather than same breakfast every day.

Average

Great location and the rooms were ok but you had to walk across the foyer to the shared toilet and shower

Amazing property! Really friendly staff, very characterful and authentic. Lovely rooftop with amazing tea and mocktails too!

I has a great experience staying in this hotel. All people who work all of them are very friendly and nice. Always concerned about giving you a good services. And the hotel is in a very nice area close to the bazaar

This property is inside the medina, near the square, the street is inaccessible by taxi so be prepared to walk with your luggage a good 10 minutes from drop off point. But, you will be nicely greeted by Jesu and served welcome Moroccan mint tea when you arrive. Also walkable to Koutoubia Mosque.

Our family of five (2 grandparents and 3 grandsons) loved this Riad. The rooms were terrific, the breakfasts were a delight and the service was incomparable. Our transportation was arranged and our two tours were great. We couldn’t have asked for a better time in Marrakech.

The room was spacious and comfortable. It is attached to a restaurant that had music playing until 11pm, with noice not finishing until closer to midnight. Very beautiful restaurant views. Very good, hot breakfast.

Staff is friendly, however they do try to hustle you a bit. Also are a little too flirty for women traveling alone. Pricing for extra amenities (transport, laundry, iron) changes depending on who you talk with or when you talk with them. Bathroom is shared and very public, I recommend making sure you have your own while staying. Not a horrible stay, but will not be returning.

Best hotel and most welcoming staff you’ll ever get, definitely will be back :)

Very kind and hospitable staff. Right in the heart of everything. Great time there!

This property is fantastic. Highly recommend. They really go out of their way to make the costumers happy!
