Oh where to start.
Oh where to start...
Everything you read cannot prepare you for that beautifull chaos. You will be constantly asked to buy this or that, to eat here not there.
DO NOT TRUST ANYONE, they are slamming other resaturant and sometimes giving false information, but not in sime hurtful way to you, just their way to attract business.
So be carefull when they say that something is not working, or the guy goes hey I work at your hotel/riad...
If you are going to eat at night at Jemaa El Fna square at the stalls DO NOT GO TO STALL 15!!! They tried cheating us for the bill, you have plenty of warnings for them at other reviews..
All in all beautifull city, nice people if they are not selling anything :) Great food, PERFECT JUICE at main square! Just get lost in there and enjoy...

IT WAS WONDERFUL.
IT WAS WONDERFUL. Thought I would starve there . Loved the food. The Raid was like a 5 star hotel. People were friendly. Everything was so different and interesting. Best thing was having a private guide recommended by Raid and very inexpensive, and informative . Visited 9 countries. 7 airplanes, 1 cruise ship and a rental car. Enjoyed it here the best , we knew we weren't in California any more. Another world.

Marrakesh is a challenge for unfamiliar visitors.
Marrakesh is a challenge for unfamiliar visitors. Sufficient signage in the souks is lacking. While shop owners wish you to shop, visitors waste an incredible amount of time lost. This does not add to the experience and makes visitors annoyed and skeptical of the people.
Visitors wish to purchase gifts, but also want to see the ancient architecture and historic sites- not just run away from sellers. the constant barrage of shop keepers makes it impossible to enjoy the shopping experience.

It is a city I recommend to visit, I went during Ramadan so...
It is a city I recommend to visit, I went during Ramadan so it was calmer than usual, 5 days just the right number for me to balance between visits and sunbath. Definitively think that it is better to stay in a riad in the Medina rather than a tourist resort, good to mix with the locals in a traditional hammam, get lost in the souks, eat local (tajine, couscous)...

I was slightly disappointed.
I was slightly disappointed. Felt like a wallet on legs with people waiting at every corner to make money off of me. One can't get simple directions or help of any kind without paying. Lots of dining options and the riads are beautiful. Visit Morocco but please don't limit yourself to Marrakesh.
“This was a lovely little oasis in the middle of the Medina in Marrakech Morocco. We found the whole experience in this location very positive. We would highly recommend it to other travellers going to Marrakesh.”
“Nice riyadh in medina of Marrakesh. 3 minutes walk from Djemaa El-Fna. Good breakfast and friendly staff. Good value for money. Parking is available on closed territory.”
“The location is excellent! Had originally booked a Riad in the medina but decided to change to this hotel - best decision ever as travelling with two teenagers who could move about freely. Very safe area and a very comfortable hotel with very friendly, helpful staff.”
“Lovely ryad right in the centre of Medina. Staff was very friendly and attentive. The hotel was decorated to the highest standard and had so much character. We stayed in the hotel for two days and our trip would have been ruined without this experience as our next 5 star hotel was terrible. I strongly recommend this hotel to anyone!!! It turns out that good hotels in Marrkach are very scarce.”
“Clean, quaint, lots of character, wonderful staff, great location. Honestly, it was perfect for my stay in Marrakesh and I used it as home base for all of my other trips throughout Morocco.”
