The breakfast is amazing! I’ve visited Marrakech many times, and this traditional Moroccan breakfast was one of the best I’ve ever had.
The riad is traditional rather than ultra-modern, but that’s exactly why we chose it.
I also noticed that some reviews rate the location less positively, which I completely disagree with. It’s a quiet, safe and friendly part of the medina, with lots of locals, parking options and taxis nearby. All the main attractions are within a 15-minute walk. Personally, I much prefer staying here rather than right in the middle of the souks.
I’ll definitely be back!
I originally booked two nights but wanted to extend my stay to three. Unfortunately, the only option was to make a separate booking for the extra night. Since booking a single night is usually more expensive, it would have been nice if someone could have helped me find a better solution.

- very quiet, beautiful and comfortable
- the lady was very nice
- breakfast was nice
- check-in and check-out were easy
-we loved the location but it's probably not for everyone. You have to walk like 20 minutes to get to the center. We really enjoyed that though because the neighborhood seems more authentic. There's an authentic market nearby where locals buy their food and there are not many tourists. I'd totally recommend it.

Road Samsara was absolutely incredible, an absolutely beautiful little boutique riad in the heart of Marrakesh. The bedroom was amazing, with a courtyard that seemed out of a movie and the most friendly staff. 100% would recommend to a friend.
The parking was a nightmare (as most of the Medina is) but once I had contacted the hotel, they were able to send someone out to help!

The riad itself was lovely and the staff were very warm and welcoming throughout our stay. It did feel tranquil compared to the busy medina and offered a more local, authentic Marrakech experience. You can walk to the main square from the riad, and there was also a safe in the room for valuables.
I do feel the current reviews and photos don’t fully reflect the overall experience. The riad is located in a much more local part of the medina and we often felt uncomfortable walking around the area, especially at night. Ubers/taxis won’t collect or drop you directly outside, so you have to walk to a nearby pickup point which didn’t always feel particularly safe.
While the riad could feel peaceful at times, it was also surprisingly noisy at night with shouting outside. Communication could also be difficult as most staff didn’t speak English and the English-speaking house manager was rarely there.
The room doors couldn’t be locked from the outside when leaving, which felt unsettling despite there being a safe. The riad also didn’t quite match the photos online and felt more worn in person.
The rooms were also very dark, and the air conditioning leaked during our stay which caused a puddle on the floor. A smaller point, but there was only one mirror in the bathroom and nowhere comfortable to properly get ready, which may matter to some guests.
Another thing to be aware of is that bottled water is charged separately and any extras must be paid in cash only. We were only informed of this the evening before leaving, by which point we had very little cash left.
