Quite place even when it was near the market. Great hospitality

Sandra Italy

Stuff was very friendly and helpful. Location is great, right at the entrance of the Medina, in small silent side street. Our rooms were very comfortable and clean. Suits are in the Riad itself with a very spacious arrangement, tasteful decoration. Double rooms are on the roof with direct entrance to the cozy roof terrace (and a bit more privacy.) Breakfast is freshly prepared and served every morning according ur wake up time. Prepare to be sugar-high - moroccan pancakes, sweet pastry, marmalade and fruits with great coffee and juice!

Anonymous Germany

Our room was great. Just enough space and the bathroom was impressive. Our host was nice also!

Anonymous United States of America

Beautiful riad, only a few minutes from main square- though incredibly quite at night. The room was beautiful and the bathroom big. The lady was very helpful with everything - despite a few stressful moments.

Rdb5 Italy

Amina and Kareem were incredible hosts. The Riad is a beautiful little guest house located in the Medina. Amina makes really good breakfast and she even cooked dinner for us one right upon request and for a fee. They treated us like family. It was truly a great experience.

Hani Canada

Location for this Riad is great, just a couple of minutes from the main square. Although it was a little cold in our room during the night, they got the heater fixed the next day and we had a pleasant stay. Almina and Karim are very warm and welcoming. Great stay!!

Ana- Switzerland

The location is right in the heart of the Medina, a short walk to the Jemaa el Fna square. The rooms are very nice and the people taking care of the Riad are fantastic. The breakfast was very good and varied every day.

Andrei Romania

Riad Bab Chems has the perfect location If you would like to stay in the Medina - you live in the middle of the Medina, but in a very quiet side street. The staff is both service-minded and always walking around with a smile on the face. All in all very high value for money. Some reviews say it’s the wrong address on the Booking.com app. However, we found it quit easily following the address on Google Maps (even though it says ‘Road Dabachi’). Same street but maybe 30 meters closer to the main street (‘Derb Dabachi’) and very close to Riad Bamboo Marrakech on Google Maps.

Alaaeddine Denmark

Riad had perfect location, just 4 minutes from the square. I had very good breakfast and the stuff is very willing and nice. Rooms are clean and cosy. Entire house has very pleasant atmosphere. I highly recommend this accomodation!

Viktoria Czech Republic

Peaceful place, in the heart of the medina. We had a wonderful stay, and the hosts are really sweet and kind. The breakfast is simple but delicious, as was not to warm when we were there, they make a fire in the lovely stove in the morning.
