Riad Samsara is a hidden gem, a peaceful pearl in a lively Marrakesh. The staff was excellent, nice and very helpful, doing great job. The Riad was beautiful, extremely clean and decorated with style. The room and bathroom were spacious. We spent a week there and could not chosen any better place to stay. The location in the north of Medina was good and a bit away from the most crowded touristic areas which was nice: we could see how and where the local people live. However, everything was in a walking distance. Also need to mention Luna, a cute and friendly cat of the house who wants to make friends if you are a cat-lover, but leaves you in peace if you are not a cat-person. I certainly will stay in the same place if I go Marrakesh again.

Thank you so much for the hospitality and our wonderful stay in Riad Samsara! The Riad is exceptionally beautiful, and all the women working there are incredibly kind! Special thank you to Bouchra and the other ladies who cooked us wonderful breakfast every morning and helped us with everything we needed. The fresh roses were a very pleasant surprise and the breakfast was absolutely delicious. On the days when we were going on day trips, the ladies at Riad even prepared the breakfast for takeaway because of the early departure. This Riad is an oasis of peace where to rest after days filled with so many experiences in the bustling Marrakech. We hope we can come back someday. Thank you once again for making our trip to Marrakech so peaceful, beautiful and unforgettable.

A real oasis! Yes, a bit out of the way if you want the manic Djemaa El Fna (which we didn’t) but only a 25 min walk back there (if you don’t get sidetracked by the souks!). We booked a taxi from the airport on arrival (150MAD). Walked everywhere after that. Did get lost in the back streets one evening trying to get back. Stick to the main streets. 20 minute walk to Jardin Majorelle. Breakfast very good and the meal we had there one night was delicious and very beautifully presented. Bed good and everything very clean. Roof terrace was pretty and lovely to watch sunset from. Miloudia is a lovely woman and took such good care of us. A real treasure.

A sign on the wall where you turn into the alley would be so helpful! Easy to miss it. It helps to speak French to talk to the lovely staff, although Bouchra speaks perfect English. Luna is a beautiful cat but might cause you a problem if you are allergic to cats. I have my own cat at home, but strangely I was allergic to Luna. Wasn’t a real problem.

The staff were really friendly and were always really attentive and helpful despite the language barrier! The riad was clean and beautiful. It was slightly out of the way from the medina however you could easily walk there with no problems. It was so peaceful and quiet in the riad.

The only downfall was that we were told we could pay the remaining balance by card prior to arriving however, once it came to paying on our last day we were told this needed to be in cash. This was more inconvenient than anything and wouldn’t stop me staying here again!

Everything. The room, the breakfast, the dinner, the staff. The commentable attention to detail in the buildings renovation, preserving all original features. It gives you such a great vibe you just cannot get enough of it. And I need to mention, do not skip the dinner they offer! On our first night we politely refused the dinner, wanting to go out in a restaurant. But then when we had breakfast the next day we knew we had to eat. It was the best food we had in all our stay in Morocco. and you have the experience of private dining. 5 stars exprerience, perfect service with a very very reasonable price. Also, we travelled with our 3 year old, and we couldn't feel more welcome. I cannot emphasize enough how amazing our experience was. also, it's only 5' walk from the lively souks!

Signage to find the property. But if you give them a call they come out to pick you up, so no real issue.

The overall experience at Riad Samsara was absolutely superbe! The location is outside of tourists areas and noise, instead it's in a real Marrakech neighbourhood where local people live, so you can see a bit of the city's real life. The area is calm and quiet and even more inside the Riad. The room was wonderful, it was cleaned every day and with attention to every detail; the typical moroccan breakfast was delicious and prepared fresh every morning, not to mention the meals we had for dinner, absolutely stunning and with that taste of authentic food that you can just find at home, cooked from a local person. Everything, in fact, was perfect thanks to the wonderful women that work there, starting from the house manager to all the others. They prepared our room before the check-in time since we arrived early, also left us breakfast ready when we had to leave early in the morning before the breakfast starting time and they also arranged cake and decorations on my boyfriend's birthday. Everything was really amazing and exceeded our expectations, I can't wait to come back!

There isn't anything I can complaint about.

The riad is beautiful and the attention to detail is wonderful. We felt welcome and at home right away. Anything we needed was taken care of and when we needed to check out early on our final morning they were super accomodating and arranged early breakfast for us before we left. It is a little bit further out but still close enough to walk everywhere, it also meant you got a feel for a more local area of the city which is always a good experience.

Wonderful traditional Riad . Beautifully decorated . Large comfortable bed . Staff so helpful , even organised a hairdresser to come to the room to do my hair, delicious breakfast . Loved the friendly furry cat . Would strongly recommend this wonderful accommodation.

Slightly difficult to find . Also breakfast only starts at 9 am , would be nice to have option of earlier breakfast

You will be shocked in a very positive way when you enter from the street to Riad, it is truly a hidden gem. Its location is amazing since it is close to attractions but at the same time it is far which gives you a chance to explore the real local culture. So I would say the location is optimal! The decoration of riad is amazing and dont forget to read about the history of this riad from the brochure at your room.

Nothing!

We travelled with a baby and this riad really felt like home. Highlights include the lovely decor, chill rooftop, kind staff, the most amazing riad cat. They helped us organise an airport transfer and found a spot for us to hang out bab/ laundry— just a really lovely team. It’s a little way out of the main chaos (15 mins walk) but that’s actually really lovely because it’s quiet and chill.

It was lovely, no issues. Communication before we arrived was a little confusing, but everything else was great.
