Riad Emberiza Sahari

Everything. Beautiful, spotlessly clean, well located, tranquil, great staff.

Nothing

The riad is an amazing place to stay, beautifully designed, exceptionally well managed, and very clean. It has only six rooms, and each one has its own unique character and charm. We stayed in two rooms with our family, one on the ground floor and the other on the top floor, and both were wonderful, each with its own distinctive style and atmosphere. The location is excellent, and the riad offers a peaceful and welcoming environment. What truly made our stay special was the staff. Younes, Maryam, Osama, and the rest of the team were amazing, without exception. Their hospitality and attention made us feel genuinely at home. From the outside, you might not expect what awaits you inside, but once you enter, you are pleasantly surprised by the beautiful design, the atmosphere, the quality, and the warmth of the people. It is a real hidden gem in Marrakech, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a special and authentic riad experience.

Despite having an excellent overall experience, there are a few areas that could be improved to make the stay even better. 1. A small fridge in the room: Having a small fridge would be very useful for keeping drinking water and other beverages cold, especially after spending time exploring Marrakech. 2. A shattaf in the bathroom: This is an important facility for guests accustomed to having a handheld bidet spray in the bathroom. We were surprised not to find one, as it is something we consider essential for our comfort. 3. The surrounding neighbourhood: The riad is located in an old souk area, which may initially feel unfamiliar or slightly intimidating to visitors who are not accustomed to this type of neighbourhood. However, we found the area to be safe, and this did not detract significantly from our overall experience. These are simply suggestions for improvement, as the riad itself is exceptional. Addressing these small details would make an already wonderful stay even more comfortable, particularly for international guests.

This riad is absolutely pretty, a beautiful, peaceful little oasis. Its small size makes it feel intimate and gives you a truly boutique experience. The décor is stunning, with every colour, texture and detail so thoughtfully chosen. Everything comes together perfectly, creating such a relaxing atmosphere. It’s the kind of place you look forward to returning to after a busy day in Marrakech. The entire property was also spotlessly clean and in excellent condition. Just as memorable was the kindness of Yunis (I hope I’ve spelled his name correctly!), who welcomed us with so much warmth and care. We arrived feeling a little shaken after a bad experience with a taxi, and he immediately calmed us and made us feel at ease. He offered to arrange our airport transfer and walk us to the exact pickup point. He even offered to walk us to and from our chosen restaurant that evening so we would feel comfortable. Our initial nerves came from the taxi experience rather than the riad’s location, it’s simply worth making sure your driver drops you at the correct spot and give a call to the riad so they can pick you up if you prefer. Yunis went above and beyond, and his thoughtfulness made our stay even more special. A beautiful riad with exceptional hospitality. A well-deserved 10/10, we would happily return!

Loved the peacefulness of this Riad. Truly got to relax and slow down.

Staff went MIA on more than a couple occasions. Maybe this was due to the fact that we were the only guests staying there? Regardless, everyone was very polite, kind, and welcoming
