Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
No internet connection which was terrible, no TV to relax and unwind because the TV was connected to the Wifi. Power cut in the hotel from 2am in the morning to the following evening as absolutely boiling hot with no AC or lights in the evening. Whereas all the neighbourhood had fully working electricity apart from the hotel we were in. This was my worst experience staying in a Riad. I have stayed in many when visiting Marrakesh. Will not recommend this Riad.

Property location is amazing, everything is in walking distance. Gem Riad is very clean. Shower technology is slightly outdated. Service was amazing however. Youseff was amazing. Every morning he made us breakfast, sometimes extra early so we could make our excursions. He also made us tea, gave us great advice, and helped us with any questions. Youseff was amazing!

If you want to be near all the action but also want a relatively quiet place to stay in the old Medina, this is a great choice. Ali and Abdul were courteous and eager to help with any special requests. The rooms are well equipped as far as riads go.

Mr Ali and Mr Abdul were the most kind and hospitable hosts we have encountered and treated us like family. Our needs were met and our family is very appreciative of their flexibility towards making our stay memorable. The surprise dinner was very welcome and the location is prime to get to the major highlights that Marrakech has to offer. Shukran and Allah hafiz.

The Gem Riad is a real Gem!
We had the most wonderful stay at the Gem Riad and we couldn’t recommend it more highly. The staff were incredibly friendly, warm and welcoming. They made you feel really at home. The room was beautiful, everything spotlessly clean with everything thought of. The Riad is very conveniently placed, a short walk from the souks and tourist attractions alike. It was a truly memorable holiday made even better by our stay in the Gem Riad.

Bien, pero podría mejorar
El personal del hotel nos atendió muy amablemente. Fueron tremendamente serviciales. El hotel está excelentemente ubicado. Creo que podría mejorar mucho con un poquito de inversión. Las habitaciones son amplias y estaban limpias, pero la pintura tan oscura, la poca iluminación y el estado de la ducha, hacen que baje muchos puntos.
