Great location in the heart of the old town (Medina) area of Marrakesh. Easy walk to the Souks and lots of the nearby attractions. The old town is a bit of a maze, but google maps led me right to the alley leading to the Riad. Riad was beautiful inside - a nice calm respite from the busy world all around. Very kind and helpful staff. Breakfast was enjoyable. Would absolutely stay here again.

We could not recommend this as a place to stay - Great location and was easy to walk around, close the food restaurants. loved that we could decide when we have breakfast! Also as a VIP we were offered a traditional hammam, which was lovely and the massage which was paid for, as one of the best I have had! The Hotel manager was personable and was approachable and catered to our needs.

It was an incredible stay in Marrakech. The location is amazing in the heart and bustle of the Madina. The proprietor Said was always their taking care of every need even late at night. This is an authentic Riad experience through the ally ways of the Madina and a few mins walk to Jamaa-Elfna. Call Said before you get there and he will send somebody to help you with the bags. The staff are so friendly and the rooms are authentic and very comfortable and very clean. The rooftop setting is wonderful to hang out on during the cool Marrakech evenings with nice sofas and tables. All in all I highly recommend it. We stayed 4 nights.

Can't recommend enough!
Saïd and the family were so welcoming and friendly from our first minutes in Morocco. Being our first time, the whole crew was so knowledgeable and informative about where the best places to go/avoid were to ensure we were safe and had fun. Extremely accommodating to all of our food and dietary needs, and even brought us a fruit bowl on our last morning. Beautiful setting with gorgeous pool in the middle, where everyone was friendly and hung out in the common areas. Such a fun time exploring the different cultures and learning from the natives. The Riad is in a fantastic location in the center of the city, but with enough privacy to still feel safe coming home at the end of the night. You truly feel like family staying here, and the whole experience is individualized to meet your needs. Will definitely be back again to see the lovely city of Marrakesh and would never stay anywhere but our home away from home, the Riad Elias

Riad Elias is a beautiful place, clean and peaceful, but it was spoilt by our frosty welcome. Said wasn’t there when we arrived at 7.30pm (we are a group of 6 middle aged women) but his wife was, and ushered us to sit in the lounge area. When Siad arrived 10 mins later, we asked to see our rooms and he insisted that we eat first as his wife had been up since 7.30am. We explained we had been travelling and needed to freshen up so he reluctantly showed us our rooms. We had booked junior suites so each room should have had a single bed and a double bed - only one room had this. Again he was very grumpy with us, told us that he couldn’t do anything about it that evening. Dinner was delicious but the atmosphere was somewhat spoilt. He continued to be argumentative with us until the last day, we weren’t sure if it was because we were travelling as a group of women without a male usher or because we had just got off to a bad start. Great location, clean, tidy and the ladies who made and served our breakfast were simply delightful.

This place was located 15 min walk from Jemaa el-Fnaa, which was really nice. The place looked nice and everything. The beds are hard and the walls are very thin. You can hear everything. The owner on the other hand seemed a little scammy. He would be helpful and Mr. Nice guy but there were questionable moments. One moment being when we were leaving, we spent 80 MAD to get there from the airport but to go back with HIS taxi driver at 5am was 200 MAD. This man was forcing us into the “insurance” and bigger vehicle but all we wanted was a small taxi. He then proceeded to tell us there are no small taxis available at 5am but we drove past the square in the morning and there were many. He was getting annoyed that I was asking so many questions and I was annoyed that he kept talking over me and being kind of rude, so I accepted. When we were leaving, he was like there is a tourist tax but i pay for you like it isn’t included in the listing and I quote “We have included all charges provided to us by the property.” It’s small occasions but overall the stay was decent.

Riad situated in a great location close to the main square. Once inside it was lovely and quiet. The owner was very friendly and when we arrived we were given water and advised where we could exchange money and what to expect to pay for taxis . If we had any questions, we only had to ask. Breakfast was quite simple, consisting of croissants, bread and pancakes, juice and coffee. On the last day of our stay we were offered omelette which was very welcome. Our room was on the top floor opening out onto the courtyard. It was basic but spacious and suited us for our 4 night stay.

This Riad is a piece of paradise in this crazy world. Once you step through the beautiful front door, a beautiful, quiet oasis awaits you. Hosted by Said and his wife Majda, who will make you a wonderful traditional lunch or dinner upon request. This Riad is like an English B&B but in another world. Authentic Morrocan, quiet, great service, and a nice breakfast. Nothing was too much trouble for Mr. Said, he is a great host. We hope to come back.

Overall our stay at Riad Elias was a pleasant one. Said, the owner doesnt speak much English, but we were able to communicate enough to get by. We could hear everyone in the room and I'm sure that everyone could hear us. The location of the Riad was good, but note that you will have to walk through the market area every time you want to go home. Speaking of home, the staff were wonderful and they had a very friendly pet turtle there. The staff cleaned up our room every day and even with some cash left around by us at one point accidentally, they didnt take anything. Lastly, don't expect a 5 star accommodation. I would say that this is comparable to an elevated hostel. NOTE: The government expects an extra tourist tax at the end of your stay and Said will ask for it in cash. We calculated it beforehand so there wasnt an argument about it.
