If you don’t like long reviews, then “stay here!” is all you need to know. If you prefer more depth in your reviews, read on. Located a couple of hundred meters from the famous Jemaa el Fna square in Marrakech (apologies for the spelling, my internet is acting up), Riad Marraplace is easy to find but just far enough away that you don’t hear any of the chaos going on nearby. It is an incredibly beautiful building with rooms that, while small, will make you feel like a sultan due to their opulence. The staff spoke perfect English and was as friendly and helpful as anyone could possibly ask. Breakfast on the roof was traditional and tasty as well as relaxing. You can’t see the square from the roof but it’s still a nice view. The only minor negative is the stairs. They twist around corners in a way that can make them treacherous if you’re not careful especially if you’re lugging a suitcase up or down them. But I would absolutely stay there anytime I would be in Marrakech. You’re close to dining, shopping, the main mosque, every tour imaginable leaves from the square, and you get to pretend that you’re a lot wealthier than you probably actually are. I loved it.

The riad is fresh and clean with comfortable, well-appointed rooms. We stayed twice, once in the older section that has not been renovated and secondly in the newer section in a recently-renovated room. Both were excellent. The older room was beautiful and had everything we needed including air conditioning, a shower, comfortable bed, etc. The renovated room had all the same features but the windows were newer so they offered slightly better sound dampening. Both sections open into central light wells and the older section include delightful sitting areas, with soft chairs, tables and plates of delicious oranges. Breakfast was fresh and delicious (moroccan-style) on the roof terrace each morning, and is not to be missed. The staff were all friendly and helpful. One more thing, and this is essential information. Riad Hotel Marraplace is within the medina, only a few steps from Jemaa el-Fnaa, Marrakech's central square. This makes it easy to get a short cooling break in the day or before dinner while being far enough away to be calmingly quiet. Highly recommended.

Perfect for us. No downside. Would happily stay again.

Breakfast : excelent Clear room : nice Shops nearby : very exotic area

Beautiful riad consisting of an old riad and new built sections. Very clean, excellent staff with a service- focused approach. Right off the Jemma el-fnaa square. Good breakfast, and the staff helped at every step of the trip.

Grat location

Great place super close to the market and not a far walk to the bus station. Breakfast was lovely on the rooftop and staff were very friendly.

The staff is what makes this place so likeable! From the reception staff - to the breakfast guy! Nothing was too much for this team. Breakfast was lovely and something we looked forward to. The location was excellent, right next to the large square. Will stay again in the near future inshallah!

Traditional Morrocan style. Very friendly staff. Close to all attractions. Excellent breakfast.

Pros: The location is less than a 1 minute walk from the large Jemaa el-Fnaa market so it is in a vibrant area although at night the hotel is quiet with no outside sound. The staff is absolutely wonderful and go out of their way to accomodate you (they gave us a breakfast to go, walked us to meet a taxi, etc). The hotel is beautiful. Cons: No elevator and past 11am taxis cannot drop you off in Jemaa el-Fnaa so you have to navigate a few small alleyways to meet tours or cabs (only about a 5 minute walk) at a different area. Overall, would recommend if you are able to climb stairs and walk. Otherwise, it may be a little difficult. Highly recommend for people with no mobility issues! Did I say the staff is AMAZING? :)

Excellent place close to everything and lots to do in the area

Amazing riad. Staff were so friendly. Felt like home with freshly coojed breakfast every morning. Less than a minute away from Jema al fena. Would definitely stay here again.

Great location. Nice Riad.

It was a cool very quiet place in a hot loud section of the Medina. Nice people who worked very hard!

Staff was very helpful! Rooms were clean and staff was always there to help in case we needed something. I recommend this place 100%! It’s right in the Medina where you can experience the real culture of the beautiful Marrakech!

Lovely, cozy hotel close to the souk and the square. Great and attentive staff. Had a wonderful stay

Loved loved loved !

We absolutely loved this Riad. The staff couldn’t have been friendlier, the location turned out to be better than expected. Breakfast on the rooftop was perfect. Airport pick up was as good as it gets. So close to everything but truly a quiet oasis. Thanks to all for the wonderful memories!

A beautifully renovated riad in the traditional morrocan style. The staff are so helpful. Breakfast is wonderful and it is located right in the heart of the marketplace. And very well priced

Great location, friendly staff, beautiful building! Love the attention to detail like robes in our bathroom
