We loved Hakim!! He made the stay extra special and easy for us. Right from when we checked in he showed us places to go on a map, gave us a full tour of the Riad and helped us book in the spa. He was always there for anything we needed and was also extremely trustworthy with our laundry and giving us updates throughout the day. I could not recommend this riad enough and this is largely due to Hakims hospitality. All other staff we encountered were also wonderful.

Dieses Riad war/ist außergewöhnlich schön. Schon beim Betreten des Riads geht einem das Herz auf. Alle sind wahnsinnig freundlich und zuvorkommend. Wir hatten ein Hamam mit Massage gebucht - top! Obwohl draußen ein reges Treiben herrscht, bekommt man im Riad nichts davon mit, top Lage!

Great place to land to transition into Morocco. Spa and restaurant on property. Food was excellent! We loved the hot tub on the roof and they even set up a fire for us, so we could play card games at dusk, on the roof! Spend a lot of time next to the fire and a great escape from the loud sounds of the Medina.

We had an amazing stay at the Riad! The staff were so welcoming and attentive, we were really taken care of. The Riad itself is so beautiful and in such a great location to explore the city!

Cons: If I had to say something, we would have loved a little more input into what was served for breakfast. Some days we loved it but other days we weren’t able to eat as much due to not enjoying the selection.

Stijlvol ingericht, alles klopt! Zelfs een fijn knapperend haardvuurtje op frisse december avonden. Ook 2 huispoezen! Prachtig dakterras met mooi uitzicht op/over de medina daken, helaas niet van genoten, omdat het te fris/koud (bezoek december) was om te zitten, maar kan mij voorstellen dat het er in voorjaar/zomer goed toeven is! Perfect gelegen op goede loopafstand, alles goed te belopen. Goede indruk van het lokale leven met de slager op de hoek en de marktkooplieden in de medina. Oase van rust als je door de voordeur naar binnenstapt! De drukte en hectiek van de Souks en Medina achter je latend! De kamers zijn mooi ingericht en super schoon. Het team (zowel voor als achter de schermen, keuken en housekeeping) dat de Riad runt zijn betrokken, gastvrij, heel vriendelijk en erg behulpzaam. Hakim en Samir verdienen een vermelding in het bijzonder! Het ontbijt is goed verzorgd en erg smaakvol. Ook de lunch en dinerkaart zijn de moeite waard om te proberen!! De Spa is ook zeker de moeite waard!

Cons: Kan niets bedenken!

The hotel has stunning décor and amazing facilities. Our girls’ trip was made extra special with the use of the Jacuzzi and heated pool. We stayed in one of the suites with two rooms, comfortably sleeping all five of us, and had our own front room to relax in. Breakfast was great and changed each day. I liked that breakfast wasn’t from a menu, and we tried things we wouldn’t usually choose, like traditional Moroccan food. The staff are brilliant and so helpful. Hakeem looked after us throughout our stay, and nothing was too much trouble. The location is central and makes it easy to reach most tourist sightseeing locations. The added touches, such as tea and pastries on arrival, fresh water in our room each day, and robes provided for swimming, were great. Our highlight was definitely getting to feed the hotel tortoise his lettuce. The hotel also had a log fire lit each day and night in the downstairs sitting area, which made it a cosy place to relax after a busy day of sightseeing. I can’t rate this hotel highly enough and would definitely recommend it.

Cons: Nothing negative overall, but a few points for constructive criticism. A nice touch would be to provide earplugs during prayer times, as it was very loud and did disrupt our sleep. We fully understand the religious nature of the area, and this suggestion is not meant to be disrespectful—just a thoughtful consideration for guests. We had a few minor issues with the room: the door was quite stiff and difficult to open/close, and the TV would not stay upright on its stand. We raised these issues at the time, but unfortunately they remained unresolved. As our room was directly under the roof terrace, we could hear talking and loud banging from sweeping in the morning. Perhaps staff carrying out morning cleaning could be mindful of the noise they are making.

So much about this place works for relaxation & tranquility in the heart of a thriving part of the Medina. It felt luxurious without being overbearing and I loved the interior spaces as well as the spacious rooftop which offers many different spaces with levels of privacy to enjoy; the jacuzzi was lovely as well. The room I had was perfect, enough space to enjoy and the facilities were excellent. I did benefit from a last-minute discount from the property which was a generous amount so I am grateful for it and glad to have found them (I would go back and pay a higher price). The food was very tasty and the staff were very obliging and helpful as well. Being able to pay by card is also a plus point given how few places take card and if you are low on cash at the end of a trip then this place can cater to remaining catering needs easily. It is extremely well located for souk shopping, explorations through old town (Jemaa el-Fnaa Square / restaurants / gardens) and, ultimately, a quick route to the airport (a taxi rank is a short walk away for a 15-minute drive).

Cons: Very small thing but I had contacted in advance about using my one day for spa treatments and was told yes, no problem. When I arrived and asked to book something, there was only time slot available so I had to go with that. Which was fine but more flexibility would've suited me better.

The staff at Riad Olema are so friendly, attentive and helpful. We felt very welcome. The property was spotless, and had everything we needed. It felt so peaceful and we enjoyed relaxing in the common area at night. The breakfast here was good value and set us up for the day. The location was excellent for us, close to everything we wanted to visit and so many nice food places. Would definitely recommend choosing Riad Olema et Spa.

From the moment our taxi was met to the moment we bid farewell, we were welcomed with open arms as if entering a family's home in Marrakesh. Our hosts helped us with every request, filled us with Moroccan tea, and frequency offered valuable tips. The hotel was delightful and located in the perfect part of the city. We highly recommend this hotel.

This hotel is an oasis of peace in a wonderfully busy city. It is a beautiful place with exceptional rooms and services but the staff are what make it so special. They are so helpful and attentive and make you feel like royalty! A very special mention must go to Hakim who is just the most polite, helpful and amazing person! He will answer any questions and offer tips and information to make your stay and visit perfect. On a rainy day he organised for us to have a Hammam and massage in their Spa which had not been due to open that day! The Hammam experience was sublime and so welcome on a cold wet day! Breakfast was fantastic! Always something traditional and all fresh and tasty. It was such a lovely way to start the day, sitting in the courtyard, listening to the water fountain. We had such a wonderful stay at Riad Olema and can’t recommend it highly enough. We had pretty poor weather but going back to a roaring fire and mint tea at Olema made our stay perfect!

Das Riad Olema ist außergewöhnlich gut - die Mitarbeiter sind allesamt super nett und lesen einem jeden Wunsch von den Augen ab. Man wird freundlich und mit Namen begrüßt, es ist immer jemand vor Ort, wenn man Fragen hat, wir wurden sogar zu Fuß von einem Mitarbeiter zu einem Ausflugstreffpunkt gebracht, den wir nicht gefunden haben. Man bekommt Empfehlungen für Events, Restaurants und Ausflüge und Reservierungen werden problemlos getätigt. Das Frühstück und auch alle anderen Speisen sind frisch und liebevoll zubereitet. Die Lage ist inmitten einer regen Verkaufsstraße, allerdings befindet man sich in einer ruhigen Oase, sobald man die Tür des Riad öffnet. Der Pool ist klein, aber zum schnellen Abkühlen genügt es.

Everything about this stay was perfect. A calm oasis and retreat from the chaos outside! We particularly liked the relaxed breakfast each morning. We didn’t eat any other meals here but enjoyed some coffee/tea by the pool. The terrace up on the roof was a lovely space and our room itself had everything we needed. Staff were fantastic especially Hakim who looked after our side of the Riad. The souks are a short walk away and once you navigate those, the main square takes about 20mins to reach. Some tips: At the top of the alley when you leave the riad, turn right and about 2 shops down is a bakery with priced items at a fraction of the tourist price. Keep walking further down to the right and once it becomes more of a ‘market’ there are a few charcoal bbq places where they’ll grill some meat with spices and pop it in some fresh bread with sauces for honestly 10% of what some tourist restaurants are charging for a main meal.

Super beau riad, bien situé pour les souks et la place jemaa el fna. L employé nous a amené jusqu au lieu où le taxis nous prenez pour le retour à l aéroport et à attendu avec nous jusqu a son arrivée à 3h.

Cons: *Notre chambre attribuée était la plus près de l entrée, près de la cuisine donc bruyant. *la piscine intérieure se trouvait juste à côté de notre chambre mais comment s y baigner sans mettre d eau partout ? Le canapé a côté est en tissu, je ne me voyais pas m installer dessus en maillot de bain et mouillé les coussins, ou même le sol pour rentrer ds notre chambre ! Vraiment pas pratique.. *notre vol retour était à 6h donc départ 3h du riad, pas eu de panier picnic a la place du petit déjeuner inclus dans le tarif. Je l avais pourtant demandé dès notre arrivée qui avait été accepté, sachant qu à l aéroport tout est fermé la nuit. Très déçus

Would highly recommend. We also had a scrub/massage treatment, was around 1hr 30min for £50ish, would highly recommend doing that. I would definitely book this spot if you’re looking for a relaxing and quiet riad in the heart of the medina! The whole team went out of their way to make it an unforgettable experience for us. Pictures are great and accurate, if not better in person :)

Our experience at Riad Olema was pleasant, we were greeted by Samir, who provided us with useful information for our road trip in Morocco. Riad Olema is clean and very close to the medina, there isn’t any parking available and locating Riad Olema the first time can be hard but not impossible. The breakfast was delicious and the service we received was welcoming and friendly. The Riad pool is nice to have a dip in after visiting the medina, there is also a jacuzzi on the roof terrace. The Riad car Baboush is cute but can creep into your room and refuse to leave, I didn’t mind Baboush having a snooze in our room. Overall I would certainly visit Riad Olema again

The riad is clean and the breakfast was delicious. The pool was right outside our bedroom, with this we really did have a true Moroccan riad stay. This Riad also has a lovely roof terrace with a Jacuzzi.

Riad Olema et Spa was amazing: it was comfortable, beautiful, in an excellent location and staffed with the mostly helpful and friendly people. We stayed in the Beldi side for 7 nights and had a great time. The room had air conditioning and was very clean and comfortable. The plunge pool was so good after a hot day out. The breakfast was very nice and they catered for my celiac travelling companion very well. The massages were great. The accompanying, food, drinks and spa treatments were all extremely good value. We also had airport transfers arranged through the Riad and it was very easy and good value.

The Riad sits in the north part of the Medina, its location is quite strategic to meander through the old city. Once in, the place offers comfort and a very relaxing and friendly environment. Rooms overlooking two small courtyards, one with a green swimming pool underneath and another one with a quite eating area.

- Excellent location, close to local attractions in the medina, but quiet and serene - Beautifully decorated and clean throughout - Two pools to choose from and a great roof top terrace - 2 cats and a tortoise roaming the premises (adorable and cuddly!)

Cons: - Room didn't have a mini bar which would be so useful in the 40 degree heat - We didn't get water on check in like in the other riad we stayed in, would have been a nice touch in the summer heat - Breakfast is tasty enough, but could do with a bit more variety - It was quite pricey for food/drinks in the hotel

Fabulous location - right in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the city but yet tranquil as soon as you stepped over the threshold. Very attentive staff Delicious breakfast

Cons: The Riad was home to a few cats so it you don't like cats or are allergic to them, you wouldn't want to stay here as they are part of the family and wander around the entire riad and even popped into our room too. It would have been nice to have had access to a bar or a fridge for a cold drink at the end of the day. Our room was a little small for our liking - we should have booked a superior room in hindsight.

We learnt that Riad Olema was in a perfect location for exploring inside and outside the Medina. Very close ( 5 mins) to the souks, and yet very close to the new developed area of Marrakech just outside the Medina walls. The Riad offered tranquility within this vibrant neighbourhood, and the staff within the Olema Raid were also very warm, friendly and attentive....a happy to place to be. A special thanks to Siad and Abdel for their constant warmth and help during our stay. Breakfast was always nice and enjoyed within the central ambience of the Riad. Thank You for a great stay.

Beautiful riad in the medina. Easily accessible from Bab Doukkala. Friendly hosts and excellent breakfast. Pleasant sitting areas with pool and open fires. Interesting roof terrace. Only criticism is that the bedroom we had was a bit of a squeeze. Fine for 1 night but would have been a bit limiting if staying longer.

The food was excellent for both breakfast and an evening meal. The in house cats are the sweetest! The Riad is a perfect calm oasis away from the busy streets of Marrakesh. I could not recommend this place any more! It is PERFECT!

This was the second time I stayed at Riad Olema & Spa and it was once again a most relaxing and enjoyable experience. The riad is beautifully furnished and decorated, and even has pets (a cat and a turtle) that make it feel even more like a home. It is quiet and peaceful, and a real oasis of calm after exploring the busy city. The souks and restaurants are ony a short walk away. The best part though are the wonderful, friendly and attentive staff who make you feel at home and looked after. They always have a smile on their faces. I am sure that this won't have been my last visit to Marrakech and to Riad Olema.

From the moment we were greeted at the door , the ambiance of this beautiful establishment and so helpful staff made us feel welcome and special. The Riad has many levels and pools and places to lounge and eat in comfort and style. So many wonderful details and thought has gone into the design and comfort and privacy of guests. Our room was spacious, beds were super comfortable and bathroom had everything and more we needed. The tiling and design of bathroom was so inspiring. Staff were always so helpful and available at all times. Dip pools were wonderful to chill in after a warm walk in Medina. Hamnan and massage were of a high standard and would’ve liked more time to go another time. We ate at the Riad and their food was freshly made and perfect. I loved your pet cat and tortoise! I will definitely be recommending and would personally like a week here if I’m lucky enough to come back to Marrakech.

Our first time visiting Marrakech, and Riad Olema made it a trip to remember. The location of the Riad was great, it was only a short walk into the Souks and to the restaurants that we had booked, but also close to the city walls so we could also easily walk to Jardin Majorelle or get a taxi. The staff at the hotel were so helpful, giving us recommendations for our visit, ensuring we had airport transfers, and always asking if we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The Riad has 2 pools on the ground floors - which whilst not in the sun during the day and quite cold - were so refreshing to dip into after a hot day walking around the city. There was also a jacuzzi on the rooftop if you needed to cool off after some sunbathing. Lastly, the breakfast was lovely - I was slightly worried about this as I didn't see many reviews about the food but it was great! 5 stars overall, thank you Riad Olema!

This is a very tranquil and beautiful Riad in a superb location! The owner Alexandra and her staff a truly amazing, we cannot fault the level of service they provided. It must be difficult to maintain this level of service however they made us feel at home immediately and were there on hand to help with booking restaurants and excursions with zero complications! The riad is so relaxing and feels like home. Breakfast was also delicious and each day they provided unique homemade pastries which were so yummy. There is a lovely curated shop in the riad with good prices and unique items to purchase as well. We had an amazing stay! ☺️😍

We had the best time staying at Riad Olema. From the very start, it was easy for us to organise a transfer to and from the airport without the stress of haggling with local taxi’s. On arrival, we were greeted by the lovely staff with mint tea and biscuits - which were delicious. Our room was incredible, a very comfy bed with great aircon and lots of space. The daily breakfast was always a highlight with the variation of delicious cakes, breads and pastries. The riad itself is beautiful, so calm and peaceful - the perfect place to relax after being in the busy medina! I would recommend going up to the Jacuzzi to unwind. The location of the riad is perfect, close to all the main attractions of Marrakech without it being in your face. Overall, we had a lovely time and would throughly recommend staying at this riad to anyone visiting.

The staff, especially both Siyads were helpful, attentive, and knowledgable about local attractions and culture. They sent a driver to pick us up with a sign at the airport (which was a touch of luxury I didn't even count on) then immediately gave us mint tea while they carried our bags to the room then explained about the layout of Medina using a map. The breakfast they serve was an amazing start to each day, the shower and soaps/lotions were always an amazing end to the day, the king size bed was the perfect size for sleeping (among other activities) and the overall vibe of the hotel was quiet. Also they have cold water on stand by whenever you need it and charge you for it at the end of your stay (it was 6 moroccan disharm = 60 cents per large water bottle). We also loved the cold rooftop pool where we'd spend the evenings sitting under a bright moon and listening to the sounds of Souks and citizens driving mopeds through the street. Would definitely come back again!

Cons: The AC never got quite cold enough but that's just life in North Africa. Also there are 2 wifi routers on the property, one that services the roof and one that services the first floor. However, our room that overlooked the pool on was on the 2nd floor so the wifi connection was terrible unless we went downstairs or upstairs (try to get a room on the first floor). This could be fixed by adding a 3rd router to the 2nd floor.

Definitely organise the Riad transfer, we were worried as we were delayed but they waited for us with no trouble at all. The staff speak amazing English and obviously fluent French.

Cons: No negatives at all! Stop looking for other Riads - I’m sure this is the best!

Book this Riad now- you will not regret it! The customer service here is outstanding. Hakeem, Sameer and their team provide 5* stellar customer service. They will make you feel right at home whilst tending to your every need with the utmost warmth and care. I truly hope I see the same staff here when I return in future years because they are a total asset to this gorgeous place. The Riad itself is exquisitely beautiful with a perfect ambience to feel you feel soothed and relaxed. Whether you want to sun yourself on the gorgeous rooftop terrace, have lunch poolside or pet the well-behaved house cats (or tortoise!). This stunning Riad and its staff will make this the perfect place for you to unwind and is a safe haven away from the hustle and bustle of the busy city. Breakfast is a tasty rotation of speciality pastries, crepes, bread, fruits etc. Its just the right amount of food to start your day off right. One minor issue I have is the fact that the rooftop jacuzzi is not the same as the photos shown on their website which is odd. In reality, it is an older jacuzzi made with green tiling and needs to be upgraded in order to match the image that we see online. This is my only qualm. The rest of the Riad is stunning and is exactly like the photos online so don't let this one minor thing put you off at all. Still a 10/10 experience- Book now!

Superb oasis of a hotel close to centre of Marrakech. Very laid back place with 2 indoor small pools (bit cold) and a fantastic secluded roof terrace with jacuzzi to chill out. Decoration and rooms were excellent, very clean and bed comfy. Breakfast of fruit, yogurt, pancakes and coffee which was very nice and served just outside our room. Staff were very helpful - gave us the lowdown on where to go and recommended restaurants. Would definitely recommend this haven.

This riad was absolutely beautiful, we are seasoned travellers and it was one of the nicest places we have ever stayed! The athletics were so lovely, the staff were so so attentive especially Abdal, which just made the visit extra relaxing. One of our favourite memories from the trip was having dinner on the roof on our last evening, which was also one of the most delicious meals we ate while in Morocco. We booked the transfer through the riad to the airport and back which I would 100% recommend, breakfast was simple and delicious each day, and the riad was a peaceful break from the busy riad. Every detail was lovely and would 100% recommend if you are visiting Marrakesh!

Cons: Nothing, it was perfect! Just so you don’t get a fright on your first night, remember there are calls to prayer in the night!

From start to finish, Riad Olema was exceptional. The staff were attentive, welcoming and friendly - they couldn't do enough for you. (Special shout out to Abdel and Sed!) The riad was gorgeous inside - like a boutique hotel - every little detail was considered - right down to a single rose in the bathroom. It's so beautiful it is a perfect location for a photo shoot. We had a lovely welcome with mint tea and biscuits and even had a lovely dinner on our last night. Breakfast was wonderful too and it was so nice to eat in such pretty and relaxed surroundings. The hot tub on the roof was a major plus - especially after walking all day to soothe tired legs. Location-wise it was great - you are staying in the real Marrakech and are within walking distance of the souks, main square (the meeting point for most excursions/activities) and Koutoubia Mosque. This is not a holiday but a travel experience - we feel very lucky to have stayed and experienced the hospitality at Riad Olema. Thanks to all the staff for an unforgettable stay. :D

Cons: Do allow longer than you think as it is easy to get a bit lost in the warren of souks. (By our last day we were following the road route to bypass the souks completely and walk on a pavement.)

I highly recommend staying at Riad Olema. The Riad, is maintained well, it is very clean, stylish and has lots of facilities. The staff are so friendly and helpful. Especially Hakeem ! He went above and beyond during our stay. When we first arrived, he explained the best restaurants and places to visit in Marrakech. He offered us moroccan tea and treats and gave us a tour of the Riad. He went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable at all times, and asked about our visits. He would serve us breakfeast every morning which included toast, fresh yogurt, jam, omeletes, pastries etc. The food at the Riad is divine ! He also gave us warnings about some people in the area and how they might approach tourists so to remain cautious. Fortunately, we did not have any problems all the locals were lovely. The Riad is in such an ideal position, markets, tourist spots etc are all within walking distance which means you will be able to see alot in a short space of time and really embrace authentic Morrocan culture and cuisine. Overall, I would rate this Riad 5 out of 5 stars !! If you want luxury at a fair price with fantastic service this should be your top choice. If it was not for Hakeem and his service our trip would not have been as memorable to us. He is a fantastic staff memeber and more than that an outstanding genuine person !! Pick this Riad for the best time in Marrakech, you won't regret it !!!
