The most beautiful hotel I have ever stayed at! Just everything about it was wonderful... The decor was stunning (I took so many photos as everywhere was so beautiful!). The (complimentary!) breakfast was excellent, and was always served with a smile in the gorgeous restaurant area. The location is great and we felt very safe. And such great value! There's so many lovely spots around the riad - whether it's cosying up a corner with a kitty, reading by the pool or sunbathing on the roof. We felt very at home here and did not want to leave! A special mention to all of the staff - literally every single staff member we came across made us feel so welcome. From reception staff, to cleaning staff, to kitchen staff. Everyone was so friendly, welcoming and approachable. Thank you so much for one of the best holidays I've ever had :-)

This was a lovely find. Very clean and friendly Riad situated near the old palace. It was a good base to get to see some of the city and for trips to the mountains, desert etc. We stayed in July, so right in the height of summer, i.e., 45-degree heat, which was incredibly hot. We needed to book day passes for hotels outside the city that had swimming pools, which helped cool us down. Additionally, the Riad had a small spa on the ground floor and the Hammam massage was amazing!

This riad felt traditional and welcoming and comfortable. Looking back on our trip as a whole, the staff here was exceptional and treated us like family, moreso than other riads we had stayed at. There were lots of common areas to choose from, an outdoor pool, and complimentary breakfast (which was delicious and they served us even when we woke up right as it was supposed to be ending). It took us a few tries to not get lost when walking to/from the riad into town, but it also felt safe and secure. I would definitely stay here again.

Its location was about a 15-20 minute walk to the big square and most restaurants, which can be quite daunting when you're new to the city and it's 100+ degrees outside.

The staff working there are the best. They are extremely nice, helped us out with everything we needed and were really kind (also to our 3y old daughter:)). The place looks beautiful (like the pictures), the breakfast is delicious and it’s located in a quiet place in the medina (but a short walk from the busier part). Our 3y old loved the turtle and the cats. On our last day they even served us breakfast at 7 in the morning so we would be in time for our flight. We’d love to come back to this super special riad with all those lovely and kind people.

We loved our stay at Riad Chamali. All of the staff were so welcoming and helpful - especially Hamza who sorted out lots of things for us to see and do. Including arranging a guided tour and booking a roof top dinner. The rooms were really lovely and the food was great. It was near to everything - just a short walk into the action but a lovely quiet place to retreat to when we needed some quiet time. Our favourite thing was the kittens!

The room was lovely but the bed was a little hard. I'm sure the staff would have sorted this for us if we'd asked. Otherwise, we loved everything about the place.

Riad Chamali is a charming, traditionally and gorgeously decorated house. Attention to detail and colour coordination in every room and throughout. It’s peaceful and quiet, with the added tranquility of waking up to beautiful birds singing. I searched long and hard for a perfect little riad to stay in, and it exceeded my expectations. All the staff went extra miles for us to have a comfortable and lovely time, and they treated us like family. Achour, Hamza and Hamza are caring and warm hearted, and they are true assets to Riad Chamali. I also highly recommend to try Mama B’s cooking, she cookes with love and you can definitely taste it!! 🧡

The riad was so beautiful and clean. Even though it is quite close to the central spots in the medical it was still so peaceful in the riad. The staff were always so friendly and helpful, giving us umbrellas on rainy nights and also surprising me with cake on my birthday. I made memories I'll never forget here

Beautiful riad with a great location in the outskirts of the Medina which is really nice because you don’t go directly in to the hazard of the streets in the old city. The place is amazing. Simply beautiful and with a great rooftop. The personal are extremely helpful and sweet!! Great breakfast also. We highly recommend this place.

Good hotel in Marrakech It is close to Jemma El Fna ( 15-20 minutes walking) People are very nice, for breakfast and at reception, very helpful if needed The room is clean, Moroccan style with a bit of modernity

A bit noisy ( Riad style maybe) The breakfast could be improved, more variety each day The pool is small

My friend and I really enjoyed our stay at Riad Chamali. It was a 15-minute walk from the crowded and busy Jemaa el-Fnaa, which meant that our area was really quiet and pleasant. The beds were comfortable, and there was enough space for all our luggage (we travelled from Asia to Morocco so our bags were bigger). Breakfast is also provided, which was a bonus. The eating area also doubles as a restaurant in the evenings, and serves really great tajines and salads that are cheaper than some of the restaurants in town. Shoutout to the two receptionists, they were fantastic, especially Sa'ad, who was a really honest chap who returned us our money when he realised we overpaid for something. We really appreciated that.

The shower pressure could be better and the hot water was a little temperamental.
