"We had an excellent experience during my stay. The room was clean and well maintained, the bed was comfortable.
The housekeeper did an amazing job each day. The hotel’s location was convenient.
Overall a perfect stay hope I will gladly return."
"Great location. Nice building with pool and garden. Great apartment. Clean(very unusual) and working washing machine. Shower doors should be sealed - water is going out.
I honestly recommend that place - close to all attractions in Marrakesh - walking distance and still located in modern part of city next to shopping mall and restaurants with good food.
We enjoyed our stay there.
So most important was: location, location, location - properly working a/c in every room, washing machine, nice pool,...
"This is like a small apartment so you could easily stay for a week & cook for yourself as all facilities are there just not a large oven but an adequate cooktop. It is well placed in the city, near other large hotels but with small owned cafes’s etc close by. There is a lift so no need to lug your bags upstairs. Great people at reception especially Fatima who was most helpful on my arrival & showed me good cafe’s & how to get places."
"The staff was amazing - all of them, want to mention Aamar though in particular. They go out of their way to accommodate guests' requests, polite and helpful. Room was clean and large but the hotel is a bit dated and located about 30 minutes drive from centre. "

"Location was good - easy walk to shops and restaurants. Apt. was clean & spacious and check-in was a breeze. If you need a break from the Medina & Souks this is your place."
"We had an amazing stay at Marrakesh Inn Comfy Apartments. The best part of our stay was the hospitality and support we received. Ossama and the whole team were so kind and helpful and went above and beyond for us. The place was also really nice, clean and had good facilities."
"Unfortunately, the property did not meet our expectations. Several things were not working properly or were missing. The house is also quite far from the pool, which was inconvenient. In addition, the property did not have the garden view that was shown and described in the listing. Overall, we were disappointed because the property did not match the description and photos on Expedia."

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best area to stay in Marrakech?
The best area to stay in Marrakech is the Medina, particularly around Djemaa el-Fna, for an authentic and convenient experience.
The Medina is Marrakech's historic walled city, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its labyrinthine alleyways, traditional souks (markets), and riads (traditional Moroccan houses with interior courtyards). Djemaa el-Fna is the bustling main square, acting as the heart of the Medina, where you'll find street performers, food stalls, and storytellers, especially in the evenings. Staying here means you're right in the middle of the action, with many of the city's main attractions, like the Bahia Palace and the Koutoubia Mosque, within walking distance.
For couples looking for a romantic and private retreat, choosing a riad within the Medina is ideal. These guesthouses offer a tranquil escape from the busy streets, often featuring beautifully decorated courtyards, rooftop terraces, and personalised service. Many are located just a short stroll from Djemaa el-Fna or the more serene Jardin Secret, allowing for easy exploration during the day and a peaceful return in the evening.

When is the best time to go to Marrakech?
The best times to visit Marrakech are during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) when the weather is most pleasant.
During these periods, you can expect warm, sunny days with average temperatures ranging from 20°C to 28°C, and cooler evenings. This makes it ideal for exploring the city's outdoor attractions like the souks, the Jardin Majorelle, and the Bahia Palace, without the intense heat of summer or the chill of winter. The comfortable climate also makes dining al fresco and enjoying rooftop terraces a true delight.
Couples looking for a romantic getaway will find these months particularly appealing. The mild weather allows for leisurely strolls through the Medina's labyrinthine alleys, enjoying sunset views over the Atlas Mountains, and relaxing by a riad pool. It's also a fantastic time for hot air balloon rides, offering breathtaking views of the desert and mountains in comfortable conditions.
For families, the spring and autumn school holidays align well with these ideal travel times. The cooler temperatures are much more manageable for children, making visits to attractions like the Jemaa el-Fna square or the Menara Gardens enjoyable for everyone.
Where can I find the best nightlife in Marrakech?
Marrakech offers several options for evening entertainment, though it's worth noting that the city's nightlife is generally more subdued than in some other major international destinations. You'll find distinct areas suiting different preferences.
The Gueliz district, also known as the New Town, is where you'll find a concentration of modern bars, lounges, and some nightclubs. It's home to establishments that offer cocktails, international music, and often have a more contemporary feel. The area around Avenue Mohammed V and Rue de la Liberté is particularly active in the evenings.
For a more traditional experience, the Djemaa el-Fna square in the Medina comes alive after sunset. While not a typical "nightlife" spot with bars, it's a significant evening attraction. You'll find food stalls, storytellers, musicians, and performers. Many of the rooftop terraces surrounding the square offer a good view of the activity below and serve non-alcoholic drinks.
Some of the larger, more upscale hotels, particularly those outside the immediate city centre, often have their own bars, lounges, and even nightclubs. These venues typically cater to guests and offer a more controlled environment with live music, DJ sets, and a range of beverages.
