Really nice accommodation, lovely staff.
I found the location hard to find

Breakfast was nice although very repetitive. More choice would have been welcomed.
Staff were excellent and helpful.
Good location in the centre of the Medina
Having read the previous reviews which helped me with my choice I was sadly underwhelmed.
The room was very dark with only a glimmer of natural light.
The Riad is in need of some TLC.

Lovely Riad, wonderful staff, beautiful terrace and room. Breakfast was amazing! Pool was a little too cold to use, but was beautiful all the same and great for warmer weather.
Easy to get to and central to lots of places to visit.
Driver organised to and from the airport, great maps app recommended and shown where we were on a map at the Riad, wonderful stay. Definitely recommend.

Obwohl ich erst um 02:00 Uhr Nachts im Riad ankam, verlief das Check-in reibungslos. Der Gastgeber war sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Das Zimmer war sehr groß und schön eingerichtet. Das Frühstück war sehr lecker und vielfältig, wobei hier eher süß gefrühstückt wird. Die Lage ist zentral aber dennoch ein bisschen abseits vom getümmel. Es führen nur enge verwinkelte Gassen zum riad. Ich habe mich aber nicht unwohl gefühlt. Ich kann es nur empfehlen!

Nice and cozy road. The breakfast was always fresh and delicious. The staff was incredible, specially Salahdin who was always available to satisfy our needs. He was very helpful with amazing tips and provided excellent service.
It was a bit hard to find the location and several people on street tried to scam us to find the Riad
8.0
The staff were extremely helpful in offering to print our boarding passes and organise an early breakfast in preparation for our flight. The riad also has a lovely garden with a pool which provides some much needed respite from the heat. Last but not least, the bed and pillows were extremely comfortable - we slept like babies! :)
As other reviews have said, we too had a lot of difficulty finding the riad. Google Maps does not show all of the small streets, so I would recommend using the app Maps.me (which does) instead - I have added the exact location to the map. Here are some instructions to help you get there:
1. Turn right off Rue Azbezd/Azbezt onto Derb Al Cadi/El Kadi.
2. Continue straight until you reach an opening outside Riad Les Ammonites (this should be on your right).
3. Turn left under an archway and follow the narrow path.
4. Riad Meriem is number 97 - it should be on your left in an unlit (pitch black) section. The exact coordinates are (31.6287356, -7.9842664).
Lastly, despite the interior of the room being very nice, it did not seem to have been properly cleaned - there was hair left on the bathroom floor, and a dinner jacket had been left in the wardrobe.

Staff were incredibly friendly! The breakfast was lovely and the rooms were clean and kept cool.
Walking around old town at night can be intimidating. However the hosts were incredibly reassuring and we were able to call them whenever in need.

The staff were lovely and very knowledgable about the city. They met our taxi to help us get the rest of the way to our hotel, as you cannot drive all the way there. Very quiet at night, beautiful riad, felt quite authentic. We loved the rooftop and outdoor spaces. Rooms were clean and spacious.
Not all our plug outlets worked (most were hanging out of the wall). They don't offer any transportation to the riad when you book via Booking.com (the the one they offer on their website is way overpriced). We booked a taxi via booking.com but as you can only get to the riad via pedestrian pathways, we could not get all the way there. Google maps has wrong location for the riad, so we would have been completely lost if Salahadin has not come to get us from where the taxi stopped. It feels like the owner may be out of touch with the riad, but the staff were amazing. Once we got there, we were overall quite happy with our stay.

Our stay at Riad Meriem was perfect, from the bedroom, breakfast and staff, everything was amazing!
Special thanks to all the staff: Yassin, Ibrahim and the lady who also workshop there, they made our stay at Marraquexe very special!
I would come back again! :)

A wonderful Riad in the middle of Marakesh Medina. The place is very clean and cozy as seen in the images.
The only minor drawback is the location of the Riad which is to find it first since it is in an unmapped alley. It is advised to contact the property and arrange a meeting spot in order to pick walk you through the riad. Remember not to respond to anyone stranger that will offer you help, it will not be for free.

So close to all the Souks and good restaurants a tranquil retreat to retire to after the hustle and bustle of Marrakesh
We would have prefered early breakfast

Once you find it down the narrow alley ways - it is a great place to hide away. The indoor area wasn’t able to be enjoyed when it rained - as they were using it for storage. Shame but was cleared by the time I left…. Normally you would hide away on the cute rooftop

The staff were very accomodating and helpful especially yassine(thank you!!). The place was very neat and tidy. The room was spacious and the bed was comfortable. The breakfast was sumptuous and appetizing.

Yassine (hope I spelled it correctly) was the best host, very helpful and friendly. The location is good, in the old town, not too far from the main square. The room was clean and big enough. Breakfast was super good. Overall, a really nice place to stay during your trip in Marrakech!
Nothing, everything was fine.

We loved the environment, the breakfast on the roof and the great care of the staff in looking after us. It's in a great location in the old town with the charm of the winding streets and markets
While the room was clean and comfortable it was a little dark.
10.0
great roof terrace - perfect spot for eating or reading a book (or a snooze!!)
well styled.
location unbeatable. short walk to taxi drop off area and short walk to great restaurants and medina shopping.
staff super helpful and attentive. They booked us reservations at restaurants, taxis, tour guides, airport transfers, days out and helped generally with prices of things!! let us check out late for our evening flight. couldn’t fault them.
food was great. breakfast usual fare but dinner there was best we had, felt very home cooked! catered for vegetarians happily.
mint tea seemed unlimited.
10/10 wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.
furniture on roof could do with updating but that’s extremely minor and doesn’t detract from how nice it is

Yaseen, Brahim and the team were absolutely outstanding. The service was amazing. The Riad was very clean and comfortable. the location was superb. 6 minutes walk to the Souks and the main square. Yaseen booked some amazing restaurants for us and was always on hand to help in any way he could. The Riad cooked for us on the first night and we dined on the roof at sunset which was lovely.
The seating area on the Roof terrace needs new cushions and umbrellas. Everything else was perfect.
