Riad Smara
2 Derb Ferrane Quartier Arset El Houta, Medina, 40000 Marrakesh, Morocco – Excellent location – show map
Beautiful riad with wonderful staff. Great breakfast. Great location - it might feel sketchy at first, and there are some homeless people nearby, but no one bothered us and we felt very safe once we got used to the vibes. It's in a 'locals area' and you get to experience Marrakesh as it is (not just touristy).
With an indoor swimming pool, hammam, and terrace that has a solarium and Berber tent, Riad Smara is 1969 feet from Jamaâ El Fna and a 10-minute drive from the Marrakech Train Station. The rooms at Riad Smara have Tadelakt-coated bathrooms with bath or shower. They also offer air-conditioning, a TV and a seating area. The continental breakfast is served every morning, and guests can enjoy traditional Moroccan cuisine in the dining room. A patio, common living room with TV and fireplace, and a seating area also feature at Riad Smara. Cooking courses, airport transfer, massages and excursions can be organized at an extra cost. Riad Smara is a 13-minute drive from the Marrakech Airport, and only 8 minutes by car from the Majorelle Garden.
Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.4 for a two-person trip.
