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.

The people were very nice and helpful

The property was not bad. But getting there was a nightmare , as I reached late at night, taxi cannot go to the hotel, had to walk which was not safe. No tv in room, no safe and bit noisy.

Very nice warm welcome and services. Excellent dinner totally recommend chicken with dry fruits and nuts. Also excellent breakfast, homemade. Fantastic place for solo traveling, especially women.

The Riad is not easy to find, being down a maze of alleys and having no sign, but persistence is well rewarded. It was like being welcomed into a friend's home. All of the staff are friendly, helpful and appear to be very happy in their work; the service is very personal. Meals are authentic, very tasty and reasonably priced. The building is traditional, tastefully decorated and kept very clean.

Receptionist she is amazing she brings a tea whenever we looks so tired, she is so hospital My mom and sis was impressed

Excellent option when travelling to Marrakech, the staff is great, warm & very helpful. Close to the medina

Really nice place, can recommend to everyone. Thanks to Mohamed I could feel like at home. Thank you!

This was truly the most unique and special places I have ever stayed. No detail is overlooked. The decor is funky and cool, the staff make you feel at home and the breakfast was amazing. Everything was perfect!

One of the best riads I've stayed at in Morocco - very friendly, accommodating, and low-pressure staff, and the facilities were excellent. Highly recommended.

Fantastic staff and excellent food. Rooms small but attention to detail with the decor was amazing. Could be difficult to find but Rida met us and walked us there personally

The Riad emailed us the day before we travelled to tell us to make alternative arrangements, even though both they and Hotels.com confirmed 3 months earlier that our room was booked for 4 nights. They then allowed other people to book our room after us. This is NOT acceptable. The manager (Adir) is new; he was most helpful and kind, as were the staff, and for this reason I have given good scores where I can. The food was great. But our holiday was ruined by this experience. Go ahead and book here if you want, but if you get kicked out early remember this review.

The staff (Kamal, Saba, Sousou, Fatima and Rama) were incredibly kind, friendly and helpful. My family and I had an excellent time at Riad Gallery 49. The facility was very clean and felt like home. Lots of personal touch. No matter what time of the day/night you arrive back to the hotel, the tea and Halva is ready for you. The only reservation was parking, which is not a unique to this particular facility. Other Riads have the same issue. Parking in general is a problem in many cities in Morocco.

Riad Gallery 49 is a lovely local Riad slightly tucked away from the madness of the center of the medina but full of character. In fact I started to prefer being in a local neighbourhood than in the touristic centre. The Riad is hard to find the first time but after Kamal (the host / manager) escorts you out and shows the main landmarks, it’s easy to get in and out. (Tip: call the Riad when you arrive the first time so they can come get you: do not accept offers from the local boys hanging about). It is easy to walk to the main landmarks like Médina , souk and jmaa el fna. The room wasn’t ready when we arrived so we went out for a meal. The staff were really looking out for us. They even offered us a complimentary lunch the next day as a goodwill gesture. The best bit about the Riad is that the staff are really out there to make sure you are fine. Kamal was very helpful. Ahma is a very sweet and kind lady who cooked our breakfast and gave us little presents as we left. They even helped take the bags out to the main road for taxis when we checked out. There are many options in Marrakech but for a charming local option at a great price point, I think the Riad Gallery 49 is wonderful.

Had a lovely time at Riad Gallery 49. The staff are v helpful & flexible. For example Rahma walked us directly to Place Jemaa El-fna and let us know where to get a good exchange rate. Meals are freshly cooked and served at your convenience. What isn't advertised is that Fatima, the cook, can show you how to cook authentic Moroccan meals in the riad kitchen for €50 per person. It's a small galley kitchen rather than individual cooking stations. The riad is very pretty, the management photos are accurate. The bus station is near by so it's easy to arrange travel to other towns. Only negative is that there are only two plug sockets in the room and charging is slow, so you will have to prioritise!

It was amazing. The staffs are very nice and welcoming . The hotel rooms are very clean as the cleaners clean the rooms everyday. The hotel is very safe and quiet. The airport shuttle service is good. They are very trustworthy and ontime. The hotel provides free breakfast in the hotel at any time you want and the atmosphere is really nice. The hotel locates in a very nice area, close tourist attractions. We (five people) stayed for four nights and it honestly felt like home because it was very comfortable.

Wonderful hosts at this Riad. This is a beautiful RIAD converted into a 5 room guest house. Breakfast is included and it is excellent. RIAD is located on a small street not accessible by cars. Usually you will be dropped off by a Pharmacy close to RIAD and someone from the hotel will walk you to the RIAD. The RIAD does offer dinner for an additional charge as well as some SPA services. There is a courtyard in the guest house so the rooms are not completely sound proof.

Riad has a beautiful interior and its staff is highly focused on making your stay enjoyable. Lots of attention by all to the details, from spreading rose petals through the room after it is cleaned, to fancy folding the towels into birds and animals and arranging them on your bed, to bring you tea or juice with treats without being asked when you stop in to rest during the day. Super clean, beautifully appointed throughout, a terrific staff, and a good location for walking to all the main sites in the Medina. I would highly recommend this terrific and affordable Riad.
