Riad Marelia

Hi thanks to give me opportunity to inform you about the property. Please check the issues list below. 1, there was no English speaking receptionist we spend 1 hour to take the key because there was an old person on the reception and not understand anything he took Extra money from us and refused to give us receipt. 2, too cold room on the the request he give us electrical heater with is not comfortable for us. 3, the property was empty but still he didn’t give both rooms together and no light was in the property after 11pm also he didn’t allow us to go out after 11pm because he looked the door and no entry after 11pm. 4, Breakfast only a few things like Moroccan tea beard and jams. 5, no toiletries at all The bottom line not happy with this property Just waset of money.

Riad is fantastic, really beautiful, and people so kind and helpful. We arrived by night and had a little problem with our room, but they immediately found a very convenient solution for us. To be honest, it was not easy to find it in the dark, but keep in mind that from Palace Bahia is a few meters away (3minutes walking). Just follow the main road and do not enter into narrow streets. Our taxi driver was in hurry to go eating after Ramadan fastening and drop us off in front of the Palace. Google maps do not work very well due to narrow streets of the Medina, but Riad Marelia is on the main road. Thank you for everything and we hope to see you again at magic Riad.

3 nights experience, Salome room. Very clean and impeccable. Brahim is a sweetheart, but quiet in overall. Loved the pancakes. He doesn't speak english, just some french. Shower is metallic, so do not open the hot water first!. Neither close the cold water. It burns!! Good price. This is the right number from their Instagram page 33767492477 It is just a place to sleep, do not expect much tourist guidance. Breakfast has no protein (eggs or cheese). They now have hair dryer, which is great help! My room was noisy, because is over the street (Salomé), but it is part of the experience. Bring earplugs. There are not tables/chairs to put our stuff in the room, only two tiny night tables, so our stuff was always in the floor. There is a paper in the room saying the Riad open until 12:30am but in reality it was until midnight (even if it is the Ramadan excuse, the paper must be updated). This must also be inform with the booking, as I wanted to be out later. I totally understand it is to help the manager sleep pattern, but I would prefer to know and pick another place as we are young. ******* says 24 hours front desk but they don't have enough staff to do this. ******* say spa treatments, but I couldn't even get a phone number to book a hammam, so no spa, neither information. He did offer me to walk with me, but I needed the price, book over the phone etc. Our time is limited. Bring clean flip flops, as shower and sink share the same space so floor is always wet.

Good location. The room is basic with a stylish bathroom. The twin room faces the street and there is some traffic noise, but it's pretty even and the room is completely dark, so we slept well. The sympathetic host does not speak a word of English. The facilities are in good condition, but they would need a bit better cleaning to keep the beautiful rooftop terrace and tablecloths and bedspreads clean. The declared swimming pool is a small rather dirty decorative pool. Wifi was slow but worked. Nice breakfast. All in all, you get good value for the affordable price.

DONT STAY AT THIS RIAD! I WAS SEXUALLY ASSULTED BY THE MANAGER Ibrahim!!!!! I chose this riad because it was close to the mallah in the Medina. I saw some good reviews so I felt I could trust it DONT BE FOOLED!!!! DO NOT STAY AT THIS RIAD!! I WAS SEXUALLY ASSAULTED BY THE MANAGER!! on my last night at the riad I returned from the Jemaa El Afna. to enter the Riad the manager must open the door, when I entered he walked with me towards the stairs to my room and sexually assaulted me!! I was completely shocked I ran to my room and left as quick as possible in the morning. I didn’t know what to do with myself and I am still shocked. I thought I could trust the riad from the good reviews I saw DONT BE FOOLED!! I tried to contact the owner of the riad who was just as disgusting and unhelpful. he showed no remorse and shared no apology. he blamed me and said “I hope you have proof”. this place should be shut down or at least taken off of *********** and all other sites so that other people don’t experience this horror! After this happened I looked back and saw another review by a solo female traveler who came forward with the same claims and nothings has been done! Why?! Why haven’t these sites taken the riad off the booking options. You could be saving lives but instead you ignore! Hurtful and disappointing
