I can't wait to return!!
Pros: Gorgeous riad. Yes it's a little dated and needs some maintenance, but it's absolutely charming, clean and brilliant value for money. Ibrahim is very friendly and helpful, no English but we still managed to comunicate. The roof terrace is fabulous, 3 levels and several seating areas. Breakfast is more than adequate and tea or coffee are always available. Focus on the lovely birdsong not the traffic noise. (You're're in a city what do you expect) Great location, right next to Bahia Palace and short walk to cafes and souks. I can't wait to return xx
Cons: Loved my stay at Riad Marelia, absolutely nothing to dislike. Just do your research! Hotel or Riad?? Bright rooms and swimming pool?? Airport shuttle is a must for me, I don't want to drag my case through the souk looking for an elusive riad door! Marrakech is unique, if you want perfection go to Dubai, otherwise have an open mind, lower your expectations and immerse yourself in the history and culture of this amazing city.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Riad we miss Ibrahim he was a sweetheart reminded me of my grandad very welcoming and
Pros: The property was very well beautiful good location not too far from the centre
Cons: The property is very nice, but there are some small changes you can make like working on the rooftop adding new sunbath chairs doing it up would make huge improvements our room had few electrical issues some plugs were working some were not and the sink drain was very slow but other than that it was nice and cosy place host was very welcoming

Lovely
Pros: The facilities are very comfortable and clean, and the staff in general were very attentive and caring. Even though he doesn't speak English, Mr. Ibrahim did everything he could to make us feel comfortable. He was very loving kind and attentive, and told us the best places to visit and what to look out for. I speak a little French, so we could talk a little each day. Even though he was far away, Morad also showed us his attention and care. I don't know if it's because we went in February, but the Riad's terrace could have been more attentive. It has a beautiful view and the sun shines fantastically. We couldn't leave the Riad without visiting the terrace every day. The breakfast was excellent, and I must mention the wonderful tea they offered us. We will definitely visit again.
Cons: Kind cold during the night.

A home from home in Marrakech!
Pros: The location was very central, very close to the Bahia Palace and the souks and the squares where all the restaurants and activities are, and not far from the Saardian Tombs. The breakfast was simple but ample: juice, all the coffee you wanted, bread, various pancakes, muffins, plus jam, marmalade, honey. You eat it in a beautiful courtyard, full of birdsong. Marrakesh is an exciting but intense city, and the riad provided an oasis of calm to retreat back to, to rest and recharge. Morad sorted out the taxi shuttles to and from the airport, so no stress there, and in the riad Ibrahim was a fantastic host. If you wanted some tea or coffee he would provide it at any time, at no extra charge. If you can speak a little simple French it would be helpful. However, if you want to stay somewhere that feels very Moroccan, but is comfortable, friendly and safe, I recommend Marélia highly. It felt like a home from home.

Pros: We really enjoyed spending time at Riad Marelia. The location was perfect for us. The street was a bit loud but we loved watching what was going on outside. The terrace was perfect for resting during hot days and watching sunsets. The host was really kind and nice. He did not speak any English but he told us everything we need to know. The breakfast was very good and served perfectly in the morning. We got the best tea.
