「The overall experience at this hotel was quite average. The rooms were decent but nothing special, and the facilities were just standard. The front desk was disorganized, making check-in and check-out unnecessarily slow and confusing. To make matters worse, they returned less of our deposit than expected, which was frustrating. Definitely not the best experience.」
「Я не понимаю восторженных отзывов об этом отеле! Ванная комната ужасно маленькая невозможно развернуться, душевая кабина тоже очень маленькая и вся вода из нее вытекает на пол, там образуется лужа и это ужасно! Что еще хуже , вода в номере идет холодная, мы дважды за вечер позвонили и сказали об этом, после чего она пошла немного теплая, но на следующий вечер она снова шла холодная , не теплая , а именно холодная!!! После уборки из 5 положенных полотенец положили почему то 2 больших и все, пришлось снова звонить и просить! тапочек в отеле нет, а по холодной плитке ходить крайне не комфортно!」
「Das Hotel liegt in der Neustadt von Marrakech an einer sehr stark befahrenen Hauptstraße. Entsprechend laut ist es. Wir hatten daher ein Zimmer nach hinten raus genommen. Das war deutlich ruhiger, aber da hörte man die ganze Zeit ein Brummen von den Generatoren der Klimaanlage. Wirklich Ruhe hat man da nie, aber es ging, hätte auch noch schlimmer sein können.
Die Lage ist nicht schlecht. Man kann in die Altstadt laufen, was aber etwa eine halbe Stunde dauert. In der Nähe sich auch Restaurants, ein Park und der Bahnhof.
Das Frühstück war okay. Der Pool ist winzig, eher Dekoration.」
「The hotel is very clean. It has free coffee station at the reception area. Thumbs up for the exceptional and attentive services provided by the front desk receptions. They use WhatsApp to communicate with hotel guests, that’s extremely helpful.」
NNatasha Audina SI love the ambience, the decor and above all, the service that this riad has given from the moment we arrived until we checked out. The staff member that greeted us was very helpful and informative, and there were two night shift members who were incredibly helpful arranging our early breakfast (because we had to leave super early) and accompanied us to show the safest way to the square at the crack of the dawn. Even when we got lost on our way to the riad, the staff member also picked us up and helped us with our belongings. I would definitely recommend this riad to friends or family who want to make a trip to Morocco, especially Marrakech!
LLesiea NadiaA beautiful little riad just a short walk from the main square and local amenities. Initially, not so easy to locate, but Google maps took us straight to the door.
The riad is located by walking through an area in which locals inhabit and therefore fresh meat and fish is being prepared and sold. This can be a somewhat novel experience and definitely a glimpse into local culture.
Once you are familiar with the walk in and out, this is just part of the day and good to see how others live.
The property itself is immaculate and provides excellent services. We were warmly welcomed and given refreshments which were gratefully received.
Our room (room 1) although small, was comfortable, clean and had everything what was needed. The bathroom has plenty of surface space to house toiletries etc.
The room is situated off the central patio and as it only had shutters (no glass in the windows) this can leave you a little exposed to noise from the reception/breakfast area and rooms surrounding.
It would have been great to have access to tea/coffee making provisions as we usually like to make a drink before sleeping. I am sure the host would have been amenable should we have, but we did not.
The courtyard is quite cold first thing in the morning and so prepare accordingly. The roof terrace is pleasant and has views across the local area.
The courtyard area hosts a plentiful Moroccan breakfast, fabulously presented and tasty. Even as a ‘picky eater’ I was pleasantly satisfied. Breakfast is a selection of Moroccan style breads/crepes accompanied by local jams/soft cheese and honey. A serving of prepared fruits was served daily with a different offering of boiled egg/fresh yoghurt/ cake severed on the days of our visit. Should you have any specific dietary needs I am sure the host would accommodate, however it is worth noting that breakfast is served to you and therefore choice and quantity is not possible. We found the breakfast plentiful and the owner very accommodating. Breakfast was served with freshly squeezed orange juice and fresh coffee or mint tea.
The host was super accommodating and helped us to print boarding passes (needed at Marrakesh airport) prior to our departure.
We walked to and from the airport as the weather was pleasant and a little over an hour to do.
The walk to the main square was around 10-15 minutes and pleasant enough as well.
I would recommend this riad and could clearly see how hard the owners are working to accommodate their guests and provide an authentic experience.
AAobfoodieGreat hotel with an international vibe ; doesn’t feel like Morocco/ Marrakesh once you get to the rooms though. It’s a little bit far from the Medina (about 45 min walk) so we took a taxi back and forth almost each time.
- the breakfast buffet was 5/5 really awesome and lots of choices .
- rooms have been renovated and changed so pictures online are wrong . We asked for a room change and got it right away.
- there are 2 areas with pools , it your room is in building 3 you don’t have the right pool view unless you want peace and quite .
BBellinisThe check-in process was good for customer service, but my room experience was terrible. I booked a superior suite, but I ended up with a regular room. I was informed that the person who was supposed to be in the room decided to stay another day. When I checked online, I found that the room was still available for reservation. The next day, when I asked to switch to my reserved room, I was told that it was booked again and that I should check back in line. Surprisingly, the same room was still available for reservation. I feel like they were scamming people by booking a suite at a higher price and then giving them a cheaper room.
The night crew member was very friendly and informed me that the manager was traveling. However, I don’t understand who is responsible for managing the website and ensuring that the correct room is posted when it’s available. I tried to contact them via phone and email, but nothing happened. I hope that Trip guide and the hotel will take responsibility for their actions and make sure that this doesn’t happen to other customers. I could have booked a different suite that had a similar aesthetic to what I was looking for, but I couldn’t even cancel the reservation. There should be a system in place for booking a specific room, and if the room is not available, the customer should receive an automatic refund. It’s their job to figure out when the room is available and what type of room it is. Additionally, the room had a bunch of knickknacks, and the table, wall, and bottom of the table were all chipped, cracked.
FFarahWe had the pleasure of staying at Riad Jibril during our visit to Marrakech, and what a delightful experience it was!
Our host, Iheb, truly deserves the title of a legend. From the moment we checked in until we checked out, he made our stay memorable. Whilr it may not be a 5-star hotel, it provided a unique and authentic Moroccan experience that exceeded our expectations.
The riad itself, with its traditional architecture, was clean and inviting. The highlight was undoubtedly the serene terrace, a peaceful oasis away from the hustle and bustle of the medina. One evening, we indulged in sheesha on the terrace, a delightful experience that only cost us around 70 MAD. We also had the pleasure of dining on the terrace, where we enjoyed delicious tagines at a very reasonable price of 60 MAD each. The chef's culinary skills were truly impressive. The breakfast served each morning was traditional and homely too!
What made our stay truly special was the warm and welcoming atmosphere created by Iheb and the staff. We arrived as guests but left feeling like friends. We were even befriended by the two adorable resident kittens, Sofia, the long-haired tabby, and Leena, the ginger kitten. Their presence added an extra touch of charm to our stay.
The location of Riad Jibril was perfect, and the camel in front of the money exchange served as an excellent landmark. The riad was on the opposite alleyway, second door, making it easy to find. We especially enjoyed its proximity to Kasbah, near Zeitun Cafe, a favorite spot of ours to visit at night. The lantern-lit terrace at the cafe provided majestic views that made our evenings even more memorable.
