Petit hôtel familial de 5 chambres, Redouane et Fatima sont vraiment très sympathiques et font tout leur possible pour bien accueillir les personnes et donner des infos utiles pour le séjour. Ils proposent de venir vous chercher à l'aéroport,, ce qui appréciable car l'endroit n'est pas facile à trouver la 1ère fois. Il y a beaucoup de petites ruelles à parcourir pour le trouver mais ça cet emplacement permet d'y dormir au calme. Les ruelles sont par ailleurs éclairées, très bien pour se sentir en sécurité la nuit;
Le petit déjeuner est excellent (possibilité de le prendre sur le toit terrasse s'il fait chaud). Ma chambre était petite mais largement suffisant pour moi.
L'hôtel est très bien situé, notamment par rapport à la place Jemma el Fna ... 10 à 15 minutes à pied... où l'on peut trouver des restaurants pour manger et visiter les souks. Je retournerai dans cet hôtel sans aucun doute pour un prochain voyage à Marrakech (je prendrai juste un masque car je ne sais pas dormir si'il n'y a pas le noir total : les fenêtres type vitrail sont magnifiques mais laissent bien entendu passer la lumière
Quelque chose qui m'a juste un peu manqué certains soirs où j'étais fatiguée : un système de snacks sur place quand on n'a pas très faim et plus envie de sortir pour aller au restaurant.

Un tout petit bemol pour la piscine qui etait tres froide et pas très propre.

De Riad is in een steeg te vinden en in eerste instantie denk je ''Waar kom ik terecht?'', maar achter de deur bevind zich een prettig en mooi riad, met zeer vriendelijk personeel, die graag extra service verleent. De Riad heeft een klein zwembadje, waar je in kunt zitten en een gezellig dakterras, maar verder zijn er geen faciliteiten... Het ligt op 10 minuten lopen van het beroemde Jemaa el Fna plein en heeft dus een gunstige ligging. Wij waren erg tevreden met deze Riad en vonden Fatima, Redouan en Zaid erg aardige, vriendelijke en behulpzame mensen, die je graag bij alles willen helpen! Zaid heeft zelfs nog een heerlijke tajine voor ons bereid. Wij zouden deze Riad zeker aanbevelen... Een volgende keer zouden wij zeker weer voor deze Riad kiezen, als dezelfde mensen er nog werkzaam zijn.

LA STRUTTURA con caratteristiche tipiche dei Riad marocchine, si trova in una zona tranquilla e sicura a poche centinaia di metri dalla piazza grande dellla Médina . Nel Riad abbiamo fruito di una bella e grande stanza, consona alla loro cultura marocchina. Lo staff formato dal gestore Radouane e dalla sua assistente Fatima sono stati molto cortesi e ospitali, pronti ad aiutarci ad ogni richiesta.

Posto fantastico e immerso nella tranquillità in quanto le camere e la fantastica terrazza affacciano sull'immenso giardino dell'Hotel Mamounia. Pur essendo una zona molto tranquilla, i piccoli vicoli che portano al Riad che a prima impressione potrebbero risultare un po' troppo deserti sono invece molto tranquilli e abitati da famiglie del posto. Oltretutto la zona è molto controllata in quanto c'è il palazzo del Re molto vicino il quale è sempre sorvegliato. La colazione molto buona e consiglio di provare anche la loro cena a 15 euro sulla terrazza del Riad.

DO NOT BOOK OR GO TO THIS RIAD!
Very disappointing. This Riad - or whannabe Riad is not ready for guests. Still under construction. The front area where one would walk up to find this place is full of construction materials, messy, unkempt etc.,.
But, giving benefit of the doubt! When we walked into the 'lobby area' it is a disaster. Shower curtains tied up concealing the 'pool' which is in fact under construction by some people doing tiling. The supposed future pool is like a side room off the lobby, just a dugout in the floor. Must have taken photos from somewhere else and advertised as their own on the Hotels.com website.
But, again we give benefit of the doubt to these enterprising folks. Ask to see the room booked, it is super small - no way 2 people could be in it for sleeping or opening luggage. We needed to take another room in addition to accommodate ourselves. We had intended to stay for 3 nights, so were told it was ok we are reserved. Naturally, we make the deal - same as on hotels.com webpage with the manager staff. Verify price etc in writing. Then next day when we are trying to reconfirm and pay balance of cash - - they say there is no booking. In meantime we had discovered even more horrors - mouse droppings, dirty floors, no water pressure for showers and no toilet paper. Messy and not a tiny bit welcoming. (the 1 girl cook/cleaner overworked) Breakfast good but when thinking of mouse droppings and filth a turnoff - quickly lose your appetite. Next day another couple left before checkin.

Nightmare in Marrakech
I choose this Riad, because there was no bad reviews at all. I could not have been more wrong. We arrived around 7PM and the owner/ manager was not there. There was a man who was surprised to find us there. After he calls the owner, they tell us that the Riad is overbooked. Then they offer to take us to another RIad, after around 1 hour of walking, taxi and waiting we arrive at a new Riad. The man from Riad Elli tells us that we can stay at this new Riad for the next three days and he talks to the manager there. Then the next day the manager tells us the owner of Riad Elli refuses to pick his calls for the payment, we also tried calling the owner but he did not pick up. We ended up having to pay again at the new Riad. We made the booking through Expedia and now waiting to see if the owner of Riad Elli atleast has the decency to return our money paid for 3 nights. We have raised a complaint through Expedia. The location of the Riad is also very difficult to find, in a very shady neighbourhood. You have to pay the street kids to take you to the Riad, first time. Marrakech is a wonderful city, it is people like these who spoil the reputation. The only good thing they did for us, was to take us to a much better Riad, totally worth paying for.

Riad Elli
Marrakech zou de plaats niet zijn als je niet in een Riad bent geweest. Alsof je bij de bewoners komt logeren. Dit Riad ligt op korte loopafstand van de Medina. In een typisch Marokkaanse wijk. Degene die het leiden zijn ongelooflijk aardig. Omdat wij op een avond niet wisten waar en wat we moesten eten, stelden ze voor om ons een tajin maaltijd te leren maken. Geweldig! En daar betaalde we € 15 pp voor. Voor-, hoofd en nagerecht! Het ontbijt is lekker, genoeg en met zorg gemaakt.
Tenzij je pure pure luxe wil ... sla dit riad dan over. Wil je Marrakech echt meemaken kies dan juist voor riad Elli.

RIAD ACCUEILLANT, PROCHE DE TOUT
Petit Riad propre et coquet au cœur de la Médina, à proximité de la majorité des lieux à visiter à Marrakech (nous n'avons utilisé aucun véhicule)
Un petit souci d'organisation à notre arrivée, ( chambre non libérée ; notre hôte nous a cédé la sienne pour la première nuit.) mais ce léger incident n'a en aucun cas nuit à notre séjour.
Le petit déjeuner est copieux, servi avec le sourire du personnel et le chant des petits oiseaux qui nichent sur la terrasse.
Nous reviendrons certainement au Maroc et ne manquerons pas de venir saluer notre hôte qui a été d'une gentillesse et d'une disponibilité formidable.
Encore merci

Ryad bien situé
Le Ryad Elli est un ryad typique avec seulement 5 chambres donc très calme, très mignon; notre chambre était confortable et agréablement décorée. Le personnel s'est montré très accueillant. Le petit déjeuner copieux nous était servi dans une ambiance feutrée. Nous avons eu un peu de mal à trouver le Ryad dans la médina (Mustapha nous a dit qu une pancarte allait être installée) mais nous avons pu compter sur l aide de quidams.
