It looks nice and the employees are nice
The ac wasn’t working properly at all the room was hotter than the outside when it’s 45 degrees out there. We decided to leave the day after and stay somewhere else because it’s hard for cars to pick you up and the rooms too hot.
Riad fabuloso y sus trabajadores más
La struttura è carina, pulita e ben tenuta. L’accoglienza è davvero speciale , è una casa, una famiglia. Noi abbiamo avuto la fortuna di incrociare il proprietario che ci ha pure invitato al pranzo di cous cous con tutti i collaboratori. Assolutamente da consigliare

Nothing , nothing like the pictures it’s a depressive house.
I went in there even tho it was payed I got denied access because I’m Moroccan and my friend is American. He didn’t want to tell me the exact issue he kept turning around the bush, but I know he was implying that we was together so basically thought we’re lesbian, although we’re not. Definitely homophobic for actual gay people who are planning to come. Kept also saying he’s doing me a favor by asking for a refund, which was ridiculous , I basically got kicked out the riad due to him misunderstanding our relationship, and judging because my friend was a tomboy and I was a bit feminine. The looks of it weren’t good anyways, so him not letting me in was a blessing .
Personnel au petit soin et arrangeant merci beaucoup a toute l'équipe et merci beaucoup a Badr pour son accueil chaleureux et sa gentillesse
The riad is very beautiful and well located, the breakfast is amazing and we were received with a lot of kindness and warm. I recommend
La atención intachable del personal, en especial de Badr. Nos ha tenido como si el Riad fuese nuestra casa. Siempre súper atento y amable.
No poder haberme quedado más tiempo 😉
Le calme du lieu et l’accueil d’Ayoub
Veoma prijatan boravak. Ambijent je jako lep i čist. Rooftop idealno mesto za opuštanje, pogotovo ujutru ili kada je zalazak. Doručak je bio ukusan. A i kada smo želeli nešto drugačije od ponuđenog, dobili smo bez problema. Osoblje nam je pomagalo i oko snalaženja i lakšeg pronalaženja lokacaja u gradu. Ayoub je izuzetan domaćin, prijateljski nastrojen.
Ayoub and the rest of the staff are very friendly and they do everything to make you feel at home.

Everything was perfect.Ayyoub and Ahmad were nice and friendly!
La ubicación y limpieza
Petit déjeuner très copieux Accueil excellent Très bien placé

The rooftop terrace is nice but the furniture is not maintained well. Since this riad is inside the medina, many attractions, restaurants and shopping are walkable. But this location is not in a clean area of the medina. And there is a garbage dump just a block away on one side of this property, it is not nice to walk on that side.
This was the worst stay in our 20 day Morocco trip. The ratings from booking.com was quite good but the price of a suite room was lower compared to similar properties in that platform. That should have given us a hint. Our problem started before even we checked in! We wanted directions and help with parking our car in a nearby lot, but no one picked up any of our calls before we reached the place. This phone number was given in booking confirmation and also on google. They helped us find a parking lot after we knocked on the door. The staff are polite but don't have the usual high service levels experienced in other properties in Morocco. Our room was on the top floor. It was a family room, can hardly be called a suite room as it was cramped with 3 beds, sofa and chairs. The room was relatively clean. The bathroom was not that clean, a lot of stains everywhere. The shower didn't work and they couldn't fix it during our 3 night stay. They asked us to use the shower in another vacant room nearby. The breakfast was pretty basic, we had it once and the next couple of times we went out. Wi-fi was bad.
Niente
Pulizia pessima, il tappeto della nostra era vecchio e consumato, le pareti del bagno piene di macchie , il soffitto della camera ormai grigio dal tempo, porte delle camere con fessure da ogni parte, insonorizzazione inesistente, il condizionatore ingiallito dal tempo e non so se ancora funzionare, i ragazzi che gestiscono il riad sono inadeguati alla gestione della struttura.Sovente quando rientravo il riad la porta dei servizi igienici dei gestori era spalancata con il wc in bella mostra
Zuvorkommendes, bemühtes Personal! Hatten ein schönes Zimmer mit gutem Bad im obersten Stock… haben es sehr genossen!
Highly recommend Ayoub and the rest of the staff. They made us feel welcome from the first moment and were extremely helpful and friendly throughout. The location of the riad is excellent and close to many key historical sites.
Nothing.
Es un lugar muy muy muy lindo, acogedor, Mohamed el anfitrión fue demasiado amable y atento con nosotros!! Desde el primer momento nos dio todas las indicaciones para conocer de forma segura el lugar y recomendaciones de panes urisyicos para hacer. Siempre sonriente y con un cálido Té nos recibió!

Moho en el dormitorio pegado a las camas . Las camas muy pequeñas de 80. En Booking sale foto salón en el que han metido las camas
Wir hatten eine wirklich schöne Zeit in Marokko und haben uns im Riad Imilchil in Marrakesch sehr gut aufgehoben gefühlt. Herzlichen Dank an Ayoub und Ahmed und alle anderen für den tollen Rundum-Service und das Beantworten all unser Fragen.
Låg centralt i medinan och Ahmed som tog emot oss och serverade frukost mm var mycket vänlig och hjälpsam.
En av sängarna var lite hård
Tout. L'accueil, le riad, les plats ...Ayoub et Ahmed ont été aux petits soins. Ils savent conseiller, guider, cuisiner, accompagner, aider.... et ils font tout avec le coeur ❤️ 🫶 . Gratitude pour ce merveilleux sejour
Nous avons séjourné trois jours au Riad Imilchil et que dire… un accueil tout simplement exceptionnel. Dès notre arrivée, ils se sont immédiatement occupés de nous, en nous expliquant tout en détail et en nous donnant de précieux conseils pour profiter pleinement de notre séjour. Tout au long des trois jours, Ayoub et Ahmed ont été d’une disponibilité incroyable, toujours présents à n’importe quelle heure pour nous servir un thé, répondre à nos questions ou nous aider (avec les guides…). Nous avons beaucoup discuté avec eux, et beaucoup appris. Les chambres très jolies, très confortables, nous nous sentons bien à l’intérieur, de plus le Riad est très bien situé. Une équipe vraiment très présente, bienveillante et professionnelle. Merci pour votre accueil, je recommande à 100% et si nous sommes amenés à revenir à Marrakech, nous reprendrons le même Riad sans hésiter.
Très bel établi typique du Maroc. Les petits déjeuners sont très bons et copieux.
J'ai passé un très beau séjour au sein de ce riad .Tout était parfait , les hôtes étaient d'une gentillesse incroyable , la chambre était belle.Le déjeuner préparé par Ahmed et servi avec le sourire était délicieux.Un séjour dans un havre de paix au milieu de la médina
La gentillesse de tout le personnel
Notre famille a tout apprécié dans cet établissement. La situation géographique centrale proche de la place Jemaa el fna, des souks, des restaurants,etc., la beauté du Riad, son authenticité, le calme qui y régnait, la chambre à la décoration digne des milles et une nuits, le toit plat duquel nous pouvions admirer le couché du soleil dans le confort d'un magnifique salon extérieur. Mais le plus beau est sans aucun doute la gentillesse d'Ayoub et Ahmed qui ont rendu notre séjour magique. Ils étaient au petit soin pour nous. Ahmed est un très fin cuisinier. Chaque petit déjeuné était délicieux. Et Ayoub accueillait nos demandes à toute heure avec le sourire. Nous nous sentions mieux qu'à la maison. A chaque fois que je me sens triste, je n'ai qu'à repenser à notre séjour au Riad Imlilchil et automatiquement je retrouve le sourire. Je n'ai qu'un seul souhait : y revenir et retrouver la formidable équipe du Riad Imlilchil.
Rien. Tout était merveilleux.
Posizione strategica per raggiungere i luoghi di interesse e al contempo in una via molto silenziosa. Camere pulite possibilità di cenare nel Riyad, piatti tipici di ottima qualità e staff accogliente, simpatico e disponibile a dare buone indicazioni e suggerimenti.
Ottima colazione e cene. Una meravigliosa terrazza per il relax serale.
Colazione tipica marocchina con prodotti buonissimi
Il materasso
Ayoub and his colleagues made sure that we had a pleasant stay. We appreciated the suggestions and the map as well as helping us organise our transport to and from the riad and the consideration of our food restrictions. It is a great place to start exploring the medina.
Due to the riad's architecture, in your room you might hear other guests having breakfast in the morning.
Séjour effectué en février 2026. Le Riad est situé en plein cœur de la médina. Très calme, propre. Le petit déjeuner inclu, un vrai délice. Ayoub et Ahmed font d’excellents hôtes. Toujours au petit soin, ils vous donneront les meilleurs conseils pour votre séjour. Je recommande sans hésiter.
Everything was perfect. From the staff to the room.
Nothing.
Riad in buona posizione, in 10 minuti eri in centro e 5 minuti al punto di ritiro per gite organizzate. Gestito da due ragazzi molto gentili e disponibili per qualsiasi rischiesta. Al nostro arrivo ci hanno spiegato molto bene come muoversi a Marrakech illustrandoci tutto sulla cartina. Molto disponibili per organizzare tour, peccato avevamo già organizzato tutto da casa.
L’accueil chaleureux du personnel, très à l’écoute. Toujours prêt à nous offrir un thé à la menthe. La cuisine délicieuse d’Ahmed. La situation du Riad dans la Medina. Les conseils d’Ayoub pour les visites incontournables de Marrakech.
A lovely little guesthouse with exceptional white glove service from staff. The place is run by two local men. They served us breakfast and offered tea whenever we liked. They organised several excursions and were always available to guide us to restaurants, museums etc. Even got us into a special restaurant and skipped the queue for us! We've never stayed in a place with such intimate and first-rate service.
La posizione e l’accoglienza dello staff
La amabilidad del personal, siempre dispuestos para ayudarte en todo. Hemos viajado mi hija y yo solas y ha sido una esperiencia. Maravillosa. Super buena ubicación y al mismo tiempo el riad súper tranquilo.
Nuestra estancia en este Riad ha sido una experiencia preciosa. El lugar es realmente bonito, con una habitación de ensueño, cuidada al detalle y muy bien calefactada, lo que se agradece muchísimo, sobre todo en ciertas épocas del año. Pero sin duda, lo mejor del Riad es el trato humano. Los chicos que lo atienden son encantadores: amables, atentos en todo momento y siempre dispuestos a ayudarnos con una sonrisa. Nos hicieron sentir muy bienvenidas desde el primer momento. Además, tuvieron un gesto precioso con nosotras al regalarnos una mano de Fátima, un detalle lleno de significado que nos llevamos con mucho cariño. Los desayunos podrían mejorarse un poco, pero aun así el trato y la generosidad del personal compensan con creces ese pequeño detalle. En general, es un riad muy recomendable, por su belleza, su calidez y, sobre todo, por las personas que lo hacen tan especial. Sin duda, un lugar al que volveríamos.
Nada
Struttura carina, posizione buona (nella Medina ma non nella parte più affollata, vicina anche al quartiere ebraico). I ragazzi dello staff davvero gentili e premurosi, ci tengono a farti sentire a casa offrendoti sempre un tè al bisogno.
Organizzazione dei transfer e climatizzazione della stanza migliorabili
Je recommande cet havre de paix à 100%. Ce fût une très belle parenthèse marocaine. Je remercie tout particulièrement Ayoub pour sa gentillesse et sa disponibilité.
Staff extremelly helpfull and made everything possible to help us.
Closet dirty, the sink was clogged, air condition was too loud, impossible to sleep with this.
AAA+ Bij het plannen van onze reis naar Marrakech was mijn doel een riad te vinden die de rijke Marokkaanse cultuur combineert met comfort, authenticiteit en een toplocatie. Riad Imichil, gelegen in het zuiden van de medina vlak bij het iconische Bahia Paleis, sprong eruit na het lezen van enthousiaste recensies en het zien van foto’s die een sprookjesachtige sfeer beloofden. Dit 18e-eeuwse, zorgvuldig gerestaureerde riad met slechts een handvol kamers bood precies wat wij zochten: een intieme, luxueuze ervaring doordrenkt van Marokkaanse charme. Riad Imichil ligt in het zuiden van de bruisende medina van Marrakech, op slechts 5 minuten lopen van het majestueuze Bahia Paleis, een architectonisch meesterwerk met weelderige tuinen en verfijnde mozaïeken. Deze toplocatie plaatst je in het hart van de historische en culturele schatten van de stad. Het nabijgelegen Badi Paleis, met zijn imposante ruïnes, ligt op 5 minuten wandelen, terwijl de levendige Mellah, de historische Joodse wijk, op een steenworp afstand ligt met zijn kleurrijke specerijenmarkten en ambachtelijke winkels. Het iconische Jemaa el-Fnaa-plein, waar de geuren van tajines, het geluid van slangenbezweerders en de bruisende energie van Marrakech samenkomen, ligt op een comfortabele 10 minuten lopen. Ondanks de nabijheid van deze hotspots ligt Riad Imichil in een rustige zijstraat, verscholen achter een bescheiden houten deur die de chaos van de medina buiten houdt. Dit zorgt voor een perfecte balans: je bent dicht bij de actie, maar kunt je terugtrekken in een oase van rust. De souks van de Mellah, vol met handgemaakte sieraden, leerwaren en kruiden, zijn slechts 5 minuten verwijderd, en de charmante Place des Ferblantiers, met zijn gezellige cafés, ligt om de hoek. De medina kan intimiderend zijn voor nieuwkomers, met zijn doolhof van smalle steegjes, maar Ayoub en zijn team maken dit een zorgeloze ervaring.

Très beau séjour au Riad Imilchil. Le lieu est vraiment très joli, chaleureux et plein de charme. Ayoub a été extrêmement accueillant et aux petits soins avec nous du début à la fin. Toujours souriant et de bonne humeur, il n’hésitait pas à nous offrir le thé, que ce soit dans notre chambre ou sur la terrasse du riad, ce qui fait vraiment la différence. Le service de chambre était nickel, les chambres très propres, rien à redire. L’équipe nous a aussi beaucoup aidés pour nous repérer à Marrakech et faciliter les échanges avec les taxis locaux, ce qui est super appréciable quand on ne connaît pas bien la ville. Un lieu humain, chaleureux et authentique que je recommande sans hésiter.
Rien, tout a été bien!
Beautiful riad, comfortable rooms, with double shuttered windows I have never slept in such a dark space. Staff are very helpful and friendly. The location is just outside the busy area of the Medina, so quite quiet at night. We were very happy.
A great place to stay and very kind and helpful staff. Breakfast was great. Quiet location with a rooftop but a few minutes walk to the shops and square.
Went for a week and they were Incredibly welcoming and helpful. If you book Riad Imilchil you can gaurentee you'll experience: - Brilliant breakfast (you won't be hungry) - Safe & Welcome (They will take you out through the streets so you can get a feel for the place on your first day) - Clean - Advisable (if you need recommendation on activities and anything booked they can do it for you) - Great location
Nothing it was perfect!
The hosts are absolutely fabulous, nothing is too much. They walked with us to the medina for our first trip and helped us with taxis, activities and restaurant recommendations. The location is great and whilst we didn’t sit on the terrace (winter!) there was a lovely view over the city. We also really appreciated the heating in the cold evenings.
Everything was great but we would have liked more protein with breakfast, it was bread heavy
Das Personal besonders Ayoub waren sehr zuvorkommend und aufmerksam. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder!
Un Riad muy bien cuidado en el que me sentí muy cómodo se comunican muy bien en Español . Ayoub el chico que trabaja ahí me explicó algunos lugares , me facilitó la vuelta al aeropuerto en taxi se portó genial !!! Me gustó mucho este Riad volveré seguro.
Me gustó todo .
Before booking it seemed strange there were so many 10 grade reviews but after we got there, we understood why. The day before we arrived we tried to do the summit to Mount Toubkal but because of very bad and dangerous weather we could not and I got a very very bad flu/cold(fever, headache and a lot of tissues). This riad was a perfect place to be sick because we felt like home. Ayoub and Chic was wekh were truly amazing, friendly and helpful, I could not be more happy and grateful that I stayed there. The breakfast was very good as well as the dinner and everything was clean. The riad was also easy to find. So yeah I recommend with all my heart this accommodation
The staff were really helpful
It was really good
Das Frühstück war sehr gut und es gab jeden Morgen, Fruchtsalat, Brot, Ei und ….alles war zu unserer Zufriedenheit. Man hätte auch Abendessen bekommen, was wir nicht genutzt hatten. Es wird alles frisch zubereitet. Das Personal ist immer da und steht mit Rat und Tat zur Seite. Hilft, wenn man dies möchte und ist sehr aufmerksam.
Das ein oder andere könnte mal wieder erneuert werden, ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen, aber das ist im Laufe der Zeit immer mal notwendig.
How about this: "Riad Imilchil is absolutely excellent! The location is perfect, and the staff are incredibly welcoming and attentive. They were always there to help with anything I needed and made my stay truly memorable.
As an Arab Muslim traveler, the only downside I faced was the lack of a bidet sprayer in the bathroom, which is essential for my personal hygiene and comfort. However, I really appreciated that the hotel staff was very helpful and accommodating; they provided me with a water jug to use instead. It was a thoughtful gesture that made my stay much easier.
Superbe
The staff was extremely helpful all the time, the service was exceptional. Ayoub and Sheikh are the friendliest managers i've ever met. I would definitely come back to this Riad again.
L'accoglienza super calorosa.. Aiub sempre disponibile ad aiutarci e consigliarci. Quando abbiamo avuto un problema con la stanza l'ha risolto subito perfettamente. La posizione comodissima per raggiungere tutte le principali attrazione. Il Souk più bello ed economico proprio a 3 passi. La piazza principale molto vicina. Lo consigliamo senza dubbio.
Niente
El alojamiento está fenomenal y muy limpio. La ubicación es perfecta y el personal es de 10. Tanto Ayoub como Chik nos dieron una calurosa bienvenida, nos ayudaron a gestionar la tarjeta SIM de datos y nos dieron muchas indicaciones y recomendaciones. Ha sido muy amables y hemos compartido con ellos unas buenas charlas. 100% recomendado para pasar unos días en Marrakech.
Fantastic location and a beautiful riad. Staff are fantastic - friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and most importantly always smiling. We took cooking classes which was great fun. Will certainly consider going back.
Nothing.
Posizione perfetta per girare la Medina ,pulita e accogliente . Colazione abbondante e molto buona servita con gentilezza da AYoub,un ragazzo gentilissimo e disponibile che parla diverse lingue ,ci ha anche spiegato varie cose per girare la città ,lo consiglio !
L’accueil incomparable et la disponibilité de Ayoub et Chikh, confort de la literie, propreté des lieux, terrasse agréable
The accommodation was very good, and the staff were very friendly. We were in contact with Ayoub, who always showed us everything in the city and came with us so we wouldn't get lost. He was always courteous. The breakfast was always good, and we were given lots of delicious tea. I can recommend this accommodation to everyone.
La atención del Riad, desayuno, ubicación.
Me gustó todo
Had an amazing time in Marrakech as a solo traveler thanks to the good care and advices from Ayoud and Chikh at the riad. The property is very well located, it is close to several main attractions and I could visit everything I wanted on foot.
Très beau Riad. Personnel très sympathique , très à l’écoute et très professionnel. Parlent Français, Anglais, Espagnol, Italien et Marocain. Emplacement dans la médina idéal pour les différentes visites de Marrakech. Petit déjeuner local excellent.
La literie demanderait à être améliorée.
Posizione a sud, vicino alle mura esterne delle Medina. La piazza principale dista circa 10 minuti a piedi. Bella zona giorno e anche terrazza. Stanze comode. Cibo molto buono ed anche colazione abbondante. Ayoub e tutto lo staff sono stati disponibili fin dal nostro arrivo, per farci vedere la strada che porta alla piazza e per chiamare i taxi. Ogni momento di relax era buono per offrirci un buon té.
Durante il giorno i taxi non possono entrare in quella via. Chiedete il cambio degli asciugamani, non scontato che lo facciano se si lasciano per terra
The room was simple but clean and tidy. Shower was super with a walk in shower area! Loved the authenticity and beautiful property. The two guys Ayoub and his colleague were extremely friendly, accommodating and helpful. It was really thoughtful that Ayoub met us at the taxi on arrival and walked us to the Riad. Visa versa at the return trip. He also organised the taxis to and from the airport. Nothing was too much trouble. The Riad was a short walk down narrow alleys to the souks and main square. But away from the Hussle and bustle!
Nothing
Location was good: close to the main centre but not in the most busy part of town. Very welcoming hosts who walked us from and to our taxi, excursion meeting points etc. Room always well cleaned and breakfast was ok as well.
/
It's daunting to book a Riad with so much choice. But booking this one was the best decision. Ayoub and Ismail exceeded all expectations as hosts. They couldn't do enough for our family, they helped with all our bookings, advice, etc. The breakfast was delishious and different all 3 mornings. Having Ayoub pick us up from our drop-off location and walk us places until we found our feet was priceless. Even gave his number in case we got lost. Honestly, the peace of mind was everything. The location is ideal, felt 100%safe walking even at night. Beds were super comfy. Loved the traditional decor and lighting in the room. Tea and snacks were plentiful and delish. Honestly, I really can't say enough other than if you are on the fence, just book it, you won't regret it.
Not a thing. Was perfect
Everything was nice, especially thanks to Ayoub!
