    Wonderful!

    We noticed less tourists where this Riad is located. There are still some of other riads around and we didn’t feel unsafe, but it seemed like a less busy area for tourists. The pool is nice and refreshing, but because it’s located next to the reception we only used it for a quick dip.

    We had a wonderful stay at Riad Chameleon. They arranged a transfer from our other Riad in Marrakech, and it was the most comfortable ride in a very nice car. A member of staff came to pick us up and showed us where the Riad was located. We got the warmest welcome from the entire staff (including the lovely cats – Brian Longlegs will be talked about in years to come). Everyone at the Riad was so kind and helpful to show the best way to get to the main attractions. The Riad is absolutely beautiful! Our spacious room was located on the ground floor, but it was very quiet during the night. Breakfast was fine and during our last night the staff arranged a three course dinner for us which we enjoyed on the rooftop terrace (the view is stunning!). A member of staff arranged the same driver again for our transfer to the airport. We would definitely come back to Riad Chameleon if we are going back to Marrakech!

    Nothing! Everything was great!

    The riad looks amazing, it is a little oasis in the middle of the busy Medina! The staff were lovely, very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful! They really made us feel like part of their family! They helped with a lot of information about the city and the people and they were very open and honest! Loved this place and I wish I had more holiday days to spend here! I will definitely come back here next time I am in Marrakech! 10/10

    An absolutely fantastic stay! The property is intimate and beautiful, but the highlight is definitely the care that the staff take to make your stay enjoyable. Murad and Ilyas treated us like family. They explained the area, where to go/what to do, even gave us a little phone in case we needed any help in the medina. They were always happy to cater to any needs and were so welcoming. The rooftop breakfasts are lovely and any trips can be arranged by the riad. The location is slightly away from the centre but very safe. Would definitely recommend!

    Less central location but still close to some sights, such as the Jardin Majorelle, and close availability to taxis

    The staff were friendly, helpful and attentive, always going above and beyond. The terrace, as well as the courtyard, was beautiful with plenty of comfortable seating and sunbeds.

    Nothing.

    Everything about Riad Chameleon was wonderful. It's set in the heart of the Medina, only a 10 minute walk from the hussle and bussle but down a side street, so it's quiet during the night. Walking through the door is like walking into a tranquil paradise. The staff are so welcoming and lovely, always on hand to help with anything they can. Mourad met us from the airport transport and walked us to the Riad. He then sat us down with delicious mint tea and pastries whilst he showed us on the map the best areas to visit and routes to take. We were even given a mobile phone especially to contact the Riad if we got lost or needed help. The bed was large and comfortable, the shower hot and powerful and the aircon very welcome in the 36c heat. The pool was freezing, but it was great to jump into after a day wandering round the hot and busy Medina. We were encouraged to use the Riad as if it was our home, which made us feel so welcome and relaxed. I honestly can't say enough good things about the place. Thank you Mourad and the rest of the lovely staff for making our trip so special. We'll definitely be back.

    Collection from airport was a bit stressful because no one turned up. Quite difficult to sort out with the Riad/Tony. Poor security . Keys to all rooms were left in our room and no one realized until we brought it to their attention. Would be nice to have some shade in the morning to have breakfast. Everybody (not just us) was finding it very hot sitting in the sun with no shade. False impressions from the owners website: 1. That they live there - they don't, they live in the UK 2. The staff employed are all long term - nearly all the people we met were students employed in the last few months.

    Communication prior to arrival with Tony (owner) was very good. Onsite staff very helpful, always willing to go the extra mile. Provision of a mobile phone in case of emergency was reassuring. Location was convenient (usually about a 20 min walk) to most attractions in the Medina.

    I am honestly lost for words at how incredible our stay at Riad Chameleon has been and me and my partner are devastated to be leaving. We received the best service and hospitality we have ever encountered at any establishment we have stayed. From the moment we landed in Marrakech we were looked after, taxis and transfers organised, dinner reservations at wonderful restaurants booked for us, unlimited tea and coffee and someone always on hand to answer any questions we had or to give advice. Oftentimes one of the staff would walk us to where we wanted to go. The riad is genuinely stunning, always clean, has the most wonderful breakfast/sunset views on the terrace and smells of jasmine. Please ensure you book your stay whilst these wonderful group of staff are working here, I promise it will be worth your while. Mourad x2, Azeddin, Nourddin and Idir, we just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our stay in Marrakech so incredible. We will miss you and can’t wait until we come back. We won’t stay anywhere else in Marrakech and don’t think we will ever be able to find this sort of wonderful service again. If you are looking between a few riads comparing and wondering which one to book, TRUST me and book this riad. You will not regret it

    The only thing that happened at our stay was the missout of water for 2 days- but that wasn’t hotels fault but probably caused by ramadan period. It would have been nice to know in advance that this might happen:)

    The riad itself was beautiful and clean and we did enjoy our stay in the room aswell. Its a bit further from centre medina but thats what it made so quiet and peaceful during the stay. Also the staff at the riad were very helpful!

    I have more EXCEPTIONAL to state: You guys Azeddin, Mourad (2), and Idir you guys are hospitality rockstars!! You guys make this place what it is!! Thank you for being wonderful and never stop connecting, singing, breaking bread, and smiling with guests! Keep dancing my friends your spirits shake the walls of this place! Visit this A+++ riad while this team works here!!! Cheers again to Mourad (the amazing manager!), Azeddin, Mourad, Idir, and Nourddin! Let these guys keep making the great guest connection-- they bring value and are great at it.

    To leave a 10 star review would still under rate the experience I had at this beautiful riad. The whole experience, quality, and expectation of the raid pysically far exceeded the pictures. This place is stunning with an amazing location and safety that allowed me to keep my door open, unlocked, and my hair down! I felt at home. By day two there was no need to leave haha this is what I flew half way around the world for (if I couldn't find the Land Cruiser to overland North Africa!)  pet the cats, relax, read, tea, great staff connection, philosophize a bit, good sleep, great breakfast- repeat! Most IMPORTANT at this moment is the amazing team of guys working this hidden gem 24/7. From the second I arrived, as a solo girl traveling, I was blown away by their genuila hospitality and ability to run this place like you are their only care in the world. I observed this with each and every guest over and over and over. I'm quite hard to please, I love the Four Seasons Resorts around the world. When I want exceptional, I step into that hospitality connection/experience in world travel. Not for the rooms-- for the most exceptional top service talent in hospitality and that perfect interaction with a curated staff around each corner I turn. That is basically not around anymore unless you are in the private jet category of hospitality. So, how did I find that EXCEPTIONAL team of talent among this group? It IS tucked away in the walls of this riad. It's a mystery, but the recipe is exactly right with this team right now! My hat's off to the 24/7 watch of Mourad managing this property and the other top talent. Each of these guys: Azeddin, Mourad (2) Idir and Nourddin manage and step up to the plate NONSTOP -- never missing a genuine beat! Again, I've only had this level of a team at Four Seasons Resorts. I could sit and list out all the value each of this guys brings to this riad, but it would ridiculous to list it all.

    I liked all about the property!

    The property was very charming. When I entered I could breathe it was surrounded by a spiritual aura and a fresh smell of jasmine all around. There is a lovely swimming pool in the middle of the building, like a typical Moroccan riad, a marvelous terrace overlooking the entire Medina and very beautiful and equipped rooms.

    Very quiet and relaxing atmosphere in the riad, comfortable large room and nice breakfast in the morning. The staff are especially helpful, kind and friendly; in particular, one of the staff Idir met us when we arrived, gave us lots of helpful information and went through a map of how to get around Marrakech and what to look out for. He even walked with us at first so we could get used to the routes, which was very nice of him. The other staff like Mourad were also always friendly and approachable. They also give you an emergency phone that can be used to contact them. We had a great time staying here and definitely recommend it!

    Nothing - this stay was sensational!

    We honestly had the best holiday ever at Riad Chameleon! From the moment we arrived, we were treated like royalty by the staff and they felt like family to us. They walked us to our restaurants if we were unsure where to go, organised all our reservations and made sure we were safe at all times. We were even provided with a small local phone to contact them if we needed them. The team kindly decorated the room for my boyfriend's birthday and even bought him a lovely chocolate cake which we got to enjoy in their company. The place itself is immaculate, beautiful and so peaceful. It is a real bliss outside the hectic medina. The room was incredibly spacious, clean and also traditional. The roof terrace was so glorious, especially for Moroccan mint tea or the morning breakfast (which is so filling and tasty!) Every morning we were greeted with a smile by all the team and the hospitality was just nothing like we have ever experienced before. Both Mourad's (x2), Azdinne, Nourddine and Idir were all such lovely people, always going above and beyond to make sure we were happy and that everything was perfect. Thank you to you all - you made our trip and we are so grateful! We were so sad to leave and would have stayed a lot longer if we could. We will definitely be back and we will recommend this Riad and the staff for years to come. Thank you so much again for allowing us to stay in your wonderful country :)

    We have just returned from a five night stay at Riad Chameleon and could not recommend it enough. We arranged a transfer from the airport through the team and when we arrived at the medina gate, Mourad and Youssef were there to meet us and take us back to the riad. Mourad then took the take to gove us directions and tips and even walked us part of the way to Jemaa el-Fnaa square. Breakfast on the terrace each morning was a particular highlight, everything was fresh and there was something new to try each day. Our room was spotless and decorated beautifully, as were the communal areas. The team at the riad were absolutely amazing throughout our stay. They were welcoming, helpful and friendly - a huge thank you to Idir, Mourad, Mourad, Youssef, Fatima and Nourdin for making our stay so special. Thank you so much. Alice and Joe (Manchester, UK)
