George er en fantastisk vært

The room was too dark and since there was little to no natural light, it would be great to have better artificial lighting inside the room. We stayed in the blue room.

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).

Noise- being on the ground floor and the nature of a Riad.

Well presented and comfortable.

A little bit too loud for us but it also creates some kind of family atmosphere. 😊

Great breakfast, great people, great atmosphere, magic experience. 😍

Nothing! It was wonderful

Gorgeous interiors and amazing staff. We felt very at home there! The staff went out of the way to make us feel welcome and accommodated us splitting our stay with a trip to the Sahara and kept our bags in the meantime! The breakfast was exceptional. Kim and George were wonderful hosts! Can’t recommend this enough. Riad is in a great location, about 5-10 minute walk to the main square and souks, so much quieter and calmer.

It was gorgeous to look at and to live in. The staff were phenomenal, you just feel seen and taken care of so kindly. An oasis of peace and beauty in the center of an overwhelming city.

Nothing we didn’t like.

Everything. The atmosphere, the staff, the silence, the attention to detail, the breakfast, the location.

This Riad is beautiful. You can see the care and detail that has been given to this property. The room I stayed in was well maintained super clean with all the facilities required down to the littlest detail, everything was taken care of. The owners George and Kim were extremely welcoming, informative and always up for a chat. Everyone that works there was fantastic and nothing was too much trouble. You must stay here when you come!

only thing i can think off is that it would be good to bring earplugs. Breakfast is served in the central yard of the Riad and the rooms are located around it, so it could be a bit noisy when orther guests are sitting there. We have not experienced any problems with it. Still a very quiet en peaceful place, all Riads have this same layout/same issue.

We had a wonderful stay at Riad Smara. George and Kim were very welcoming and helpful. They could help you with arranging day trips and provide tips about restaurants. In less than a 10-minute walk you are at the central quare. And in a few minutes you walk straight into the souks. Despite this, the riad is an oasis of peace in the busy medina. The breakfast was amazing, a good start of the day with a fresh fruit platter, coffee, tea, and every day a varied selection of pancakes/bread/Maroccan cake. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The room was spacious and was cleaned every day. A good place to explore Marrakech from. The roof terrace was also very relaxing after a day in the busy streets, or to start off nice and quiet. Would reccoment arranging a taxi via George and Kim from and to the airport, as you can be sure that you will be guided to the door of the riad (the streets are small just a regular taxi will drop you off at the entrance of the medina). Would definitely recomend a stay at Riad Smara

Tough to find any negatives, but a 25cl bottle of local beer €5: minimum 500% mark up. Luckily I was too ill with all the polluted air to need more than one, lol.

Great breakfast, all staff superb and always available to help and advise. The riad is a little oasis to return to after a hard day inhaling exhaust fumes and dust. The young local lady member of the riad team suggested the Ensemble Artisanal for local goods as they offer fair fixed prices (allah be praised) and an excellent idea of what things are worth before you enter the Souks. This advice alone made the stay worthwhile! They would even walk around with you. So very kind!

The room's cleaning is very deatailed, I mean not just cleaning, tidying up the personal stuffs also. From the outside is really quiet, but from the inside not really, so be aware that the other guests can be loud and noisy.

Perfect location, professional staff. George is great and the guy at the breakfast also very kind and helpful. We had a wonderful time here. Highly recommended.

The room we stayed in was noisy from thé street outside, with groups of people hanging around just down thé window. The window are good quality so there is not much thé riad Can do about that. Georges even went outside one night to tell thé guys to quiet down.

Georges was a great host, and so were thé peoole working there. Breakfast was good, fresh orange juice would be great but the rest was fantastic. The place is very quiet, which is quite rare in riads in Marrakech. The riad is beautiful, well decorated, terrasse is peaceful. Access to thé riad super easy.

There were limited vegan options for breakfast. Most of the breakfast options had milk and egg by-products.

Breakfast was delicious; they provided orange cake, croissants, Moroccan pancakes every morning, fresh fruit, and freshly squeezed orange juice. George, the host, was incredibly thoughtful and helpful throughout our stay. He welcomed us to his riad with open arms. I had a great time speaking with him; he made me feel extremely comfortable as a guest.

Breakfast and staff were great. The location was very good - close to a lot of the main attractions in the central medina. Owners Kim and George were very helpful and friendly.

Nothing, it was perfect

Hosts George and Kim were exceptionally helpful as were staff. Located in the old medina with easy access to main square. The roof terrace is amazing

Lovely rooms. Great hosts and staff.

We loved our stay at Riad Smara; we stayed for a week and we're glad we chose to stay there. The owners Kim and George were great hosts, very helpful and the staff incredibly kind. The riad is beautiful and has that unique Moroccan design and it's beautifully decorated. Our room was spacious and cozy. It's well located where you can easily walk everywhere. We felt safe walking at night. A special note on the breakfast, it was delicious! the tea, coffee, fresh bread, fruit, delicious jams.
