Riad El Grably

Just stopped here with friends as couple and this is a Riad in a good location for majority of Marrakech sights and sounds. Hanan the owner is very knowledgeable with good English and give great ideas of places to visit and places to eat. The hotel is in a quiet area but fairly easy to find but I suggest arranging airport pick up and drops with the Riad which make it easier and less stressful. Rooms are basic but cosy and clean. Take toiletries with you and a hairdryer. Small number of rooms makes it a quiet Riad and the staff are very welcoming and helpful. Breakfast is available and very good but it’s a simple traditional breakfast and tends to be the same each day, evening meals are provided and can be requested. Teas and coffee are provided on request but at extra cost. There is a roof terrace and outdoor seating with good views of the city and mountains. Hot tub also on the terrace and very private. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to see traditional Marrakech and experience the culture of this iconic city.

We arrived late evening in February, just getting dark, and the road up to the hotel was a little daunting, however once we entered the hotel we felt welcomed and comfortable. Room was lovely, clean, great bed, and a good sized shower. Breakfast was served to your table, and very tasty. Out and about in Marrakech is quite full on so it was nice to return to the hotel, spending afternoons on the lovely terrace. I would recommend staying here, we had a very nice time, thanks to everyone in the El Grably.

On arrival was greeted by Francoise who was very helpful and showed us around and then to our room . Our room was very clean and spacious lovely large bed . Breakfast was a traditional Moroccan breakfast which was served to the table, mint tea was a delight. There is a hot tub and a swimming pool which we didn't use . But we did use the roof terrace which was lovely, spent a lot of time up there when we were not exploring . Very central to the area . Would highly recommend if you're coming to Marrakech.

Had a great 3 night stay a Riad El Grably. Nice facilities, with the roof terrace, jacuzzi and small indoor pool. Francois and rest of the staff were very friendly and really made us feel at home. Would definitely recommend. Only downside was with the entrance, unfortunately there was building work taking place during our stay but it didn't impact our stay at all.

I live and work in France and was invited by my company to go on bit of a jolly over to Marrakesh for 6 days. Having never been there and wishing not to cause offence I accepted and arrived there mid afternoon with 13 French colleagues. We'd already organised transport from the airport, so we were not concerned about getting to the Riad. What was surprising was that as we arrived at the medina, Regis, the boss, and Adil from the riad were waiting for us with luggage barrows. To get to the riad involved making our way along a few narrow lanes, past many little shops, where, at each one, we were greeted like old friends. Once at the riad we were shown into a beautiful cool inner courtyard where we were invited to sit and drink mint tea whilst our baggage was delivered to our rooms. Nothing was too much for the staff. The dinners, an optional evening thing, was superb, prepared during the day by Yassine. The aromas were just intoxicating. Breakfast was simple, but plentiful and served on the roof terraces, under welcome shade. Rooms, well certainly my room, are simple, but well finished, clean and spacious. Many of the orignal riad details have been preserved. What really struck me about the riad was that although we were only minutes from the central square of Marrakesh and the surrounding area was a warren of activity and noise, once inside it was as if we were a million miles from anywhere. A month a go I was out in Bahrain for a couple of weeks for the Grand Prix. I spent a lot of time at the Ritz Carlton which is an excellent 5 star establishment with a myriad of facilities, but in all honesty it wasn't a patch on the riad.!
