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. ##### Marlène Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2019 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Gina Jan 18, 2019 Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort #### 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. ##### Gina Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jun 4, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort établissement proche de la place calme très bon accueil ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in May 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sebastian Mar 25, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Tolles Riad in zentraler Lage Alles super, sofort wieder - Nettes Team, zentrale Lage und sehr sauber! ##### Sebastian Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gunnar Jan 29, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Vänlighet och värme 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.

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!! ##### Lajwanti ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael Mar 21, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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. ##### Michael ### 8/10 Good #### Thierry, grenoble May 17, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Trés agréable séjour Très beau riad,bien situé et un accueil formidable du responsable Brahim ##### Thierry ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Mar 3, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Elisabet y German from Spain Very nice to meet you and u made us reeaaally good and confortable our stance.

It was beautiful and the staff was really nice and welcoming.

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! ##### R&N ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Apr 27, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Apr 1, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A gem! Our family of four adults spent 3 nights at Riad Smara.

Would gladly recommend to other travellers! ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### estelle Mar 14, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Super riad Très beau riad au coeur de la médina. Personnel très sympathique. Très bon sejour. Je recommande. ##### estelle ### 2/10 Terrible #### tsun, 84 Mar 8, 2015 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Attention à éviter Nous allons à Marrakech très souvent et nous séjournons toujours en Riad . En premier, aucun contact suite à la réservation, nous avons cherché à contacter le Riad pour prévenir de notre heure d'arrivée, impossible de les joindre. Lors de notre arrivée, nous avons du attendre près de 10 min devant la porte avant que quelqu'un nous ouvre . Accueil par une femme de chambre ne parlant pas le français, elle nous dit que le gérant va arriver, 20 minutes plus tard toujours personne. La chambre décrit comme une suite ne correspond pas à la taille indiquée , environ 14 m2 la chambre et 4 m2 la salle de bain. Mobilier correct mais juste le minimum, pas de bouteille d'eau offerte, dans la salle de bain pas d'échantillon ... Le matelas très usé, et couché on se retrouve avec les pieds plus hauts que le corps, sensation très inconfortable. Attention une mosquée juste à côté ... Donc le réveil à 5 h est brutal ! Petit déjeuner correct mais vaisselle et propreté à revoir. Wifi instable et juste dans le patio et le salon, mais impossibilité de travailler car la connexion ne tient pas. Le gérant n'est ni accueillant, ni disponible, juste la pour encaisser. A l'encaissement grosse surprise, le Riad applique un taux de change de 11 et n'applique pas le taux de change quotidien, la taxe de séjour qui est de 23dh ( 15 pour la commune et 8 pour la trésorerie) le Riad applique une taxe de séjour de 25 DH sans explications et ajoute 4% de frais de CB, alors que les frais sont de 3%. À éviter ##### tsun ### 8/10 Good #### Syllas, Sao Luis, BRA Jan 5, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### 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. ##### Syllas ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Dec 31, 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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. ##### Verified traveller ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Riu Tikida Palmeraie - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Marrakech-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Tikida-Palmeraie-All-Inclusive.h2955364.Hotel-Information) > > [Apartments Playa del Carmen](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Del-Carmen-Apartments.d601751-aaApartments.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels in Brantford](https://www.expedia.ca/Brantford-Hotels.d6245.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Le Médina Essaouira Thalassa Sea & Spa - MGallery Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Essaouira-Hotels-Le-Medina-Essaouira-Hotel-Thalassa-Sea-Spa-MGallery-By-Sofitel.h795436.Hotel-Information) > > [Bahia Principe Grand Aquamarine - Adults Only - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Bahia-Principe-Grand-Aquamarine-Adults-Only-All-Inclusive.h25767892.Hotel-Information) > > [Kimpton Everly Hotel Hollywood by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Kimpton-Everly-Hotel-Hollywood.h17524828.Hotel-Information) > > [5 Star Hotels in Sandbanks](https://www.expedia.ca/5Star-Sandbanks-Hotels.s50-0-d6337080.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Comfort Inn Surrey Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels-Comfort-Inn-Surrey-Hotel.h2232951.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury Hotels in Bermuda](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Bermuda-Luxury-Hotel.0-0-d20-tLuxuryHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Le Meridien N'fis](https://www.expedia.ca/Marrakech-Hotels-Le-Meridien-Nfis.h571327.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Resort Marrakech](https://www.expedia.ca/Marrakech-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Resort-Marrakech.h4270690.Hotel-Information) > > [La Sultana Marrakech](https://www.expedia.ca/Marrakech-Hotels-La-Sultana-Marrakech.h1093565.Hotel-Information) > > [Camden Court Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Dublin-Hotels-Camden-Court-Hotel.h83460.Hotel-Information) > > [Barceló Maya Beach - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Xpu-Ha-Hotels-Barcelo-Maya-Beach-All-Inclusive.h804595.Hotel-Information) > > [Paraiso de la Bonita, Adult All-Inclusive, a Luxury Collection Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Morelos-Hotels-Paraiso-De-La-Bonita.h860332.Hotel-Information) > > [Sofitel Marrakech Palais Imperial & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Marrakech-Hotels-Sofitel-Marrakech-Lounge-And-Spa.h906942.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Álvaro Obregón (MLM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/mlm/toronto-to-morelia) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yvr/toronto-to-vancouver) > > [Delta Winnipeg (YWG) to Minneapolis - St. Paul (MSP) flights](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flight-routes/delta-from-winnipeg-james-armstrong-richardson-intl-to-minneapolis-st-paul-intl/dl/ywg/msp) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Davao (DVO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/dvo/toronto-to-davao) > > [Air Canada](https://www.expedia.ca/Air-Canada-Flights.cAC.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Kathmandu (KTM) to Paro (PBH)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ktm/pbh/kathmandu-to-paro-intl-airport) > > [Flights from Narita (NRT) to Los Angeles (LAX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/nrt/lax/tokyo-to-los-angeles) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Budapest (BUD)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/bud/toronto-to-budapest) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Los Angeles](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Los-Angeles-Intl.d5783884.Car-Rental-Guide) > > [Car rentals in New York](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-John-F-Kennedy-Intl.d4933194.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Activities > [Things to do in Panama](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Panama.d142.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Eastgate Square Mall](https://www.expedia.ca/Eastgate-Square-Mall-Kentley.d6247901.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Punta Cana Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Cana.d601906.Destination-Travel-Guides)
