    Lovely place in the heart of the old buzzling city.

    The breakfast was typical Moroccan with Moroccan bread selection, honey, marmalade selection, Moroccan pancakes, and cakes. I would have preferred a wider choice with croissants, brioches, white cheese and possibly also an English breakfast. The room didn’t have a TV so you have to rely on your devices. Swimming pool is too small to swim, just good for relax.

    The staff was great and helpful from the moment we booked till the end. I called them even when I had to communicate with taxi drivers. We used WhatsApp. The hotel is in the old city (Medina). If you want to experience the real Morocco, this is the place for you. If you want a more westerner atmosphere, you should go to Gueliz. I liked the buzzling of the old city and people were kind even late night. I didn’t have any issue, but you should be sure not following anyone asking you to do so. The room and toilet were typical Moroccan. And there was air conditioner. The food at restaurant was great but if you plan to eat there, you need to let them know before 4pm We were always offered for free typical mint tea. WIFI was good and fast.

    Note that the only way to get in is to ring a doorbell, but someone always answered within 30 seconds (even late at night), so this was not problematic.

    Riad Berenssi is of the best hotels i have stayed at in all my travels. Mme. Sobha and Abdul were so helpful and kind. They went above and beyond, helping us get around and cooking delicious and gluten-free meals (which are otherwise hard to find reliably in the Marrakech medina). The facilities were clean (outdoor area was even more beautiful than it looked in the photos, rooms had drains that close to prevent the scent from filling the restroom, which was a problem in the other Riads and hotels we stayed at in Morocco, etc). Mr. Abdul coordinated with our taxi driver and helped us carry our bags out at 5 am in the dark so we could get to the airport on time. Prices were very reasonable for dinner. Overall, this was an amazing experience.

    We had a great time at Riad Berenssi. Sobha and her team were extra kind and helpful. The Riad is so lovely, calm and cosy. Confortable beds! The pool is refreshing and lovely to come home to! The area is perfect, off the touristy tracks. We recommend this place!

    I was greeted by a „helpful local“ in front of the hotel and he demanded money for showing the way. The hotel very likely knows about this trick, but didn’t help me. Everyone just looked at me including the hotel staff and I had to pay the guy. And he demanded even more. I expect the hotel staff to tell him to leave me alone. Besides that, I hurt myself in the bathroom because the door is quite hard to open.

    The bed was very comfortable and the personnel was super friendly.

    A little hard to find on arrival from the airport by taxi - probably more the taxi driver's fault rather than the Riad's .... although the signage could do with improving along with a better description of how to find the Riad .

    The staff were absolutely fantastic , nicely decorated and comfortable rooms , lovely roof top terrace to chill on in the evenings , breakfast was basic , typical Morrocan , a really nice place to stay .

    Very helpful and kind staff who will look after you. Nice sun terrace where you can enjoy breakfast. I had a junior suite and it was very comfortable and good value. I would happily stay there again. It was walking distance from the main souk and tourist attractions but away from the main square, making it a calmer and more peaceful stay than in the riads right in the centre.

    When you enter the riad you wonder what you have let yourself in for! You go down a dark alley which is not so clean - but enter in the Riad and you are in a different peaceful world.

    We loved our stay at Riad Berenssi! All of the staff worked so hard to ensure our experience of Marrakech was great. We had a slight confusion about our stay because we had believed we would have our own fridge and cooking facilities but there is not. However, the staff did everything to accommodate our needs - Sobha, Hassan,Abdul and the whole team really looked after us . The Riad is clean and the room comfortable, there is a rooftop terrace with sunbeds and you might get to meet the pet tortoise. A good continental breakfast every day and you can order extras like eggs for additional fee. We had some evening meals at the riad some nights which were also very good. The location is very central and uou can walk into the Medina - about 2km.

    Room walls are thin so you might have problems with morning noises.

    First of all staff is literally amazing, super cute and extremely proactive. Position is amazing, downtown but not a touristic area. Best ever to live the real city. Still, to reach the main square you just need 15m by walk. Clean authentic rooms and super nice common spaces (pool, living room). Bed extremely comfortable.

    Nothing.

    A beautiful Riad with wonderful staff. It as the end of our trip and we took full advantage of the roof top to chill with a glass of wine which came with snacks (free!) The staff were so lovely and the breakfast delicious. We even ate there in the evening and it was great.

    We had a pleasant stay at the Riad, all the staff were very welcoming and helpful. The rooms were comfortable and cleaned every day. The entire Riad is well maintained and has a large swimming pool and terrace. Also the breakfast was great, Moroccan style, mostly sweet, with fresh orange juice and coffee. We didn't have a chance to try but Riad also offers nice dinner by the pool. Thank you for our stay!

    3 European women for the first time in Marrakech - Riad Berenssi was the perfect choice for us! Rashid made our stay in Marrakech unforgettable...right from the moment we met. The Riad itself is right in the heart of the Medina, the pictures on the booking reflected 100% the reality. Breakfast was delicious, available until 11am. We had a wonderful time and recommend this location with confidence! Merçi, Rashid!

    The bathroom was smelling a bit and the indications to come to the hotel were unclear. We’d recommend the hotel manager to provide a clear map of the hotel streets to allow an easy access to the guests.

    The property has a nice pool and the breakfast was really good. The hotel is well located in the Medina - however in the northern part so 25 minutes walking from all the attractions
