2/10 Poor

Avoid at all costs.
This place is garbage. I showed up, with a hotels.com reservation and was shown to my room. I spent the day in and out of the room doing work. In the early evening, they decided they were no longer going to honor my reservation and forced me to leave. Thankfully I found a hostel which was significantly nicer and cheaper than this place, and with better internet. If you can avoid it, AVOID IT.

Excellent- highly recommended!
Excellent little riad with a comfortable bed, lovely clean sheets and towels, strong wifi (enough to stream Netflix). Great hot water in the shower, and a beautiful bathroom. We also had a couch to sit on, so that we didn't have to sit on the bed. The plunge pool was refreshing after a day out in the heat of Marrakech. The breakfast was varied, & tasty. The roof top terrace was a nice place to sit and enjoy a bottle of local wine & beer. Best of all Brahim the manager was very helpful in everything we needed. They even did our washing for a small fee. Highly recommended!!

Book it knowing it'll be a great experience!
The Riad Smara is located in the heart of the Medina (10min walk to the town square) and a fabulous getaway from the craziness of the Medina at the same time. It's super quiet inside the Riad with only 8 rooms and an overall pleasant experience. The hotel manager, Ibraham or Brahim (he goes by both), lives on premises and is incredibly accommodating. He makes breakfast each morning inclusive of crapes, donuts, fresh bread, coffee, fresh orange juices, jams, etc. Brahim makes the difference with the Riad. If you drink alcohol (which is impossible to find in the Medina), they have plenty of options at the Riad and fairly priced. Also, as of March 2017, the WiFi worked everywhere in the Riad inclusive of the roof, the room, and in the lobby. Just an FYI: I would highly recommend hiring a service from the airport to the Riad as it's a little hard to find right off the bat. However, this is a benefit once you're there because it's quiet. Overall, I would highly recommend staying here and next time I'm in Marrakech, it's the place I would choose.

A gem!
Our family of four adults spent 3 nights at Riad Smara. Apart from being hard to find when we first arrived after dark, we have nothing but praise for the Riad and for the wonderful service provided by Brahim. Would gladly recommend to other travellers!

A great riad
This is a great riad, very clean and organized. The owner, Ibrahim, was very helpful in all the stay. Breakfest is good, wifi is far from ok, and some problems with the room occured because everyday we moved from one to another one with no reason.

Great Location-Enjoyed our Stay
Clean & tidy during our stay everyday. We didn't eat breakfast, but if we had any questions, they were always answered. We were given a lot of helpful information about where we were and given a map to orient us. The rooftop of the riad was nice to rest on and catch some sun. Located near the central square and not difficult to find.

A hidden gem
Riad Smara is an absolute gem! Just 10 mins walk from Jemaa El Fnaa through the medina streets, it offers real Moroccan hospitality, 5 spacious and beautifully decorated clean rooms with western bathrooms, a fantastic roof terrace, icy courtyard pool (for cooling off), awesome coffee at breakfast and a very reasonable room rate. The Manager Ibrahim is a great personality and went out of his way to help us research and book our onward journey, a huge help! I would say that this riad is flawless, but our late night arrival due to flight delays meant that taxis could not directly access the narrow streets which are closed off after about 11pm, and they are reluctant to go 'the long way round.' It is definitely worth the argument with the driver though, I can't recommend it enough!

Riad parfait pour un séjour à Marrakech
Riad typique de 6 chambres, plein de charme, à 10 min à pied de la place Jema Elfna. Chambre et salle de bain propres. Déco locale et lieux communs très agréables. Petit déjeuners maison, très bons. Accueil au top avec Brahim, qui est plein de bons conseils, de bonnes adresses et toujours agréable et souriant. Il fait au mieux pour concilier les demandes de chacun. Je conseil vivement pour passer un bon séjour à Marrakech.

Bodde här med min familj ( två rum 4 vuxna) en vecka i början av januari 2018. VI hade en fantastisk tid. Rummet var alltid rent och hemtrevligt. Brahim kunde inte göra nog för oss. Utmärkt läge. Längtar talar starkt nog av hotellet manager, Brahim.

I really loved staying at Riad Smara. It was beautiful and the staff was really nice and welcoming. Though it was located at very dark corner and I had to go through a sort of scary time to find it out.

Magnifique Riad typique, dépaysement garantie!
Nous avons passé un merveilleux séjour au Riad Smara à Marrakech (situé à 10min à pieds de la place Jemaa el Fna). L'hôte était d'une gentillesse incomparable! Il a fait de notre séjour un séjour inoubliable, nous a aidé à nous retrouver dans la ville, nous a conseillé des sites incontournables, ... toujours avec le sourire et la bonne humeur! On a très bien mangé dans ce riad magnifiquement décoré et typiquement marocain du sol au plafond. Nous recommandons absolument ce riad à toute personne cherchant à vivre l'expérience Marrakech dans un cadre plus que typique!
