Very friendly and helpful staff in a lovely small property in a traditional Riad style. Do use the pick-up service to get to the hotel - as the local lanes all look the same at first, A short walk to the old Jewish Quarter and souk entrance. Mutta and her team very helpful and friendly when it comes to organising guides, transport etc. Great stay.
We had a wonderful stay at Riad Chamali! We were greeted with tea upon our arrival and given a map to help us navigate the main attractions in Marrakech. The Riad itself is picturesque but also cozy. We so enjoyed our Moroccan breakfasts each morning and we had a lovely dinner at the riad one night. The staff were so helpful, hospitable and always available if we needed anything. They also helped us to arrange a transfer by car to Casablanca. We already miss the city of Marrakech and our home away from home at Riad Chamali. We can't wait to come back!
The friendliness of the staff, the homely ambiance, the amazing food, the quiet location all made for an unforgettable stay.
I would highly recommend Riad Chamali to family and friends.
Beautiful spacious Riad which is a wonderful place to escape from the busy Medina. In a good location near the Palaces and easy walking distance to the Souks. There is a lot of outdoor terrace space and a number of internal courtyards so loads of places to sit and relax. All the staff are very lovely and the food is good. Beautiful rooms. I would say this is a very nice Riad - and it could be an exceptional one with a bit more work on the little things and bit of increase in a more costumer facing service. That being said - the staff went out of their way to make sure that my husband, who can not eat gluten, was catered for. Thank you.
The Riad Chamali was excellent 'value for money' and the staff were exceptional. Very welcoming, nothing too much trouble and very friendly & helpful indeed. Moutaa (the general manager) was a delight and credit to the hotel !!! - I would certainly recommend this hotel if value for money is what you require without compromising comfort. Once through the main entrance very quaint, authentic and spacious. 10/10 for this Riad
Lovely little find, the staff are very attentive, couldn't do enough for you. Rooms are basic but very clean and had everything you needed. Its a 15min walk to the main square but other main tourists sites are much closer. There were a couple of little things that needed fixing like the door handle and shower head, but this didn't effect our stay. Given the price we paid we felt it was very good value for money and would definitely recommend to people on a similar budget.
Best customer service we have ever encountered!
The riad in itself is absolutely gorgeous, even better than the pictures provided. The room was very clean with a very comfortable bed. The amenities in the room smelled incredible. There is a sense of peace throughout the riad even though it is located in the busy medina. The terrace overlooks the Atlas Mountains and provides a space to sit and relax whilst enjoying the warm weather. Every member of the Riad’s team was outstanding, Hamza and Moutan ensured that everything we needed and enquired was met at a standard that exceeded all our expectations. The breakfast was refreshing and offered a mixture of Moroccan traditional items as well as the popular options of a European breakfast. We also dined in the riad on the first night, and even though our flight was late in the evening, the team arranged a lemon and chicken tagine with salad and cous cous that was the perfect start to our holiday in Marrakech (always with the company of the Riad’s cat, the beloved Chamali)
A truly impeccable Riad with a team that complete the whole experience. We will definitely be returning as soon as we can!
Stayed here for 3 nights - what a fantastic experience! Relaxing environment, excellent staff; nothing is too much trouble for them, every single person there really seems to genuinely care about you having a good time. The food is also first rate!
Had a lovely time at the Riad. Everyone was most welcoming and attentive, felt like being in my own home. Clean, comfortable, relaxing environment, a short walk to the main attractions. couldn't have asked for a better place to stay.
all the staff with great!
Very basic rooms. No chairs or bedside lamps in the room.
No wardrobes.
No tea or coffee facilities in the rooms.
Extra charges everytime tea or coffee requested outside of breakfast.
Same breakfast daily - not much choice
Riad Chamali is conveniently located at about 10 minutes walking time to the Jamaa el-Fnaa main square of the Marrakech medina. The place is very well maintained, looking very good. The staff is incredible polite and helpful. Mouta, the manager, speaks perfect English so it was very easy for us to have all our questions and requirements fulfilled. Breakfast was always on time and delicious. We ordered dinner for the night before we left and it was incredible good. Mouta helped us a lot with useful and precise information about the city, the places to go, the approximate prices of all the things we wanted to buy and everything needed for us to be safe and enjoy the city. Staying at Riad Chamali made our visit to Marrakech the best experience we could expect, we felt always safe and cared for like with our family.
Great spot and very relaxing! Recommend you have them pick you up at he airport otherwise you will never find the place through the maze of alleys. Walking distance to all the places in the medina.
The Riad is very well maintained and the rooms are very traditional and clean. The staff is humble and very helpful. Even with our language barrier, they were very accommodating. Breakfast here is delicious and so is the three course dinner. We preferred dinner at this Riad over many restaurants in Medina. The manager made us reservations to an amazing Hammam and to a local restaurant. Will definitely return here and will recommend Riad Chamali to friends and family.
We stayed there for one night and we enjoyed it very much. The hotel staff was very helpful and extremely friendly. The riad is very quiet. The hotel facilities are very nice and the terrace on the roof is something very special. The breakfast was incredible.
The riad is a little tricky to find, but the hotel staff is picks you up and takes you to the main street. It is very close to the tourist attractions of the old city of Marrakesh.
A great place to stay in Marrakesh as you are close to the centre of the Medina but the Riad itself is very quiet and gets you away from the hustle and bustle of the Medina for a rest.
Very clean and well run and the staff are lovely.

Mediocre
This place is okay. Wifi is spotty and it's not located in a super great area. Clean, but staff doesn't speak English super well. They didn't explain anything to us upon arrival about the city, etc. The restaurant is overpriced and breakfast was sparse. Also we had a heater in our room but it didn't work so we were chilly all night.
The Riad Chamali was an amazing oasis in the middle of Marrakech! The hotel was fantastic and the staff were so friendly and welcoming. Moutaa the owner went out of her way to help us and make sure we enjoyed our stay. The room was very clean & the breakfast each morning was lovely - we especially enjoyed having breakfast cake each day! I had a cookery lesson at the Riad was was shown how to make a variety of starters and a very tasty fish tagine. Would definitely recommend this Riad!
Highly recommend this place. It was the second riad I stayed in on my trip and blew away the competition. Much better service, the place is kept very well, great breakfast and ambiance. Go there!
