I have been to Marrakech twice.
I have been to Marrakech twice. This time all my money got stolen in the medina and people were constantly trying to trick us. It was too hot and dusty and tourists everywhere. It is a tourist trap and with so many amazing places to go in Morocco, I would recommend anyone to go to Agadir, Casablanca, Essaoura, etc. instead. If you are looking to relax in a huge resort, Marrakech is good for that.

A good experience when you come from an European country, but you need to be prepared for it, it is definitively a different culture. Get ready before you go, I do not recommend to visit Marrakech without having read about it.

Hygiene of the city need to be careful in general to avoid getting stomach flu. Buzzing lovely city safe but be prepared to tip the people are nice friendly not harassing but they're poor and in a developing country so have a heart give generously.

Marrakech is a beautiful oriental experience, you can enjoy...
Marrakech is a beautiful oriental experience, you can enjoy the souks and shopping and the authentic food, also there are many beautiful attractions with magnificent architecture... the accommodation is relatively cheap and you can find many riads for less than $30 per night...
My hotel was next to Jemaa Elfena a buzzing area in the heart of Marrakech, The allies of Marrakech are enjoyable were you can many things but with lots of bargaining!!
Getting around is easy on foot or by taxis which are not expensive... street cars provide food and refreshments with good taste and cheap prices, many restaurants are cheap too with amazing Moroccan food like Couscous, Pastela, Tajine, and Tanjia...
My visit was so short but I could visit Koutobia mosque, el Bahia palace, el Badea palace, majorelle jardin, medarsa ibn yousef, and Jemaa El feha of course..

Loved Marrakech.
Loved Marrakech. The people were friendly and helpful, the culture was amazing and the food was good. Of necessity I had to go in June/July. I would recommend a cooler month, though being there off-season meant prices were down. The temperature was 103- 113F. I would happily return in March or April.

Stay at a Riad Suleiman.
Stay at a Riad Suleiman. Unreal, serene, great helpful ppl. Loved it there and will stay there all the time. I live the bus and train service. Love Morocco and the beaches too once in the coast.
“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.”
“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.”
“Mouad and the other staff of the hotel were amazing. Genuine people with a great work and hospitality ethic. I will certainly visit again. the room and service was 5 star :-D”
“Place was a 5 star accomodation. Staff unfortunately at reception didn't feel very warm and hospitable. Shame cause you expect that in Morocco for all the advertising and reviews. Wifi password should be in the rooms. Had 2 ring twice to confirm cause it wasn't clear on phone.”
“Hocein and Layla are amazing. Hocein went and got me cold medicine and water on a day I had to spend in bed due to illness. The amazing service at Riad Dar Radya was far above any of the places I have stayed, whether hotel or hostel, throughout the last 2.5 months traveling Spain and Morocco. Upon returning from wandering the hustle of the medina, I escaped each day/evening to the relaxing rooftop terrace with a glass or two or three of Hocein's magical mint tea. I will always stay here when in Marrakech.”
