it’s a very typical riad in original style. the valued added is Mohamed who is very kind. he gave us a lot if useful information and guided us every time we needed. he made us feel always at home. super recommended!

At the time of our stay they only accepted cash payments. Other than that there is really nothing to complain about.

If I have to highlight something it is clearly the staff, that really made us feel at home. They were really helpful: they offered good recommendations of places to visit and things to do. Our return flight was very late at night and they even let us store the bags until then and also arranged the airport transfer. The riad itself is beautiful, clean, and facilities work as you would expect. Breakfast was delicious and abundant. The location is also quite nice: next to the Bahia palace, it is inside the Medina but still near one of the main roads, so you won't have trouble getting transportation (most taxi drivers either charge an extra fee or directly refuse to enter the Medina). The main square of Jemaa El Fna is about 15 minutes on foot.

The hotel requested cash payment, and we were not informed about this before, which put us on a diffi ult situation. In this year, it is not acceptable that a tourşatic hotel is not accepting credit card. this needs to be fixed asap

Yazid is an amazing person, he is all in one, cooked, served, supported, even walked us to where we needed to go when we did not know the way. His friendship and smiling nice chat after our long days made our stay even nicer. Hotel is located in a very good location close to tourist attractions. although narrow and silent street made us worried at first, we saw in the second day that the city is amazingly safe for single woman travelling alone. we did never feel uncomfprtable even walking alone at night rooms are perfectly clean and Yazid’s breakfasts were very delicious

The staff at the Riad were fantastic especially Yazid who could not do enough for us and made our stay wonderful. The Riad was very clean. The breakfasts were excellent. The roof terrace was superb with views across the city.

It was an incredible experience, the location was spotless and the room was beautiful and very confortable. The breakfasts were very generous and catered to our special dietary needs. But best of all the welcome by the Riad staff was exceptional, from day one to our check out we were treated with so much grace, Mohamed, Imen, Nordin, Samia and Yazid were the best hosts one would want. They were very attentive to our needs and made our stay a true pleasure, they made us feel home far away from home. We highly recommend Imilchil to anybody looking for a true Moroccan experience.

We do not recollect any negative points about our stay.

The accommodation was really very cozy and all the staff very friendly and helpful. Hamid (owner) was really instrumental in planning our various trips both in Marrakesh and outside (Atlas mountains, Essaouira and Sahara dunes in Merzouga). My daughters were impresses by a Moroccan cooking class organized by Hamid's wife. We all can warmly recommend this small gem among Marrakesh riads.

The best staff in the world. They really treated us like family and made our stay that much more special. Sami went out of his way to show us what real Moroccan hospitality feels like!

Everything was great. Can't really find anything that I didn't like. I highly recommend it.

Everything was absolutely brilliant. But the hospitality you get from the staff, especially Sami is just unbelievable. He was in every detail to make sure you feel at home at all times. From booking taxis to the airport, to always welcome ou back to the Riad after a long day with some tea ready, contacting the excursion people to make sure we didn't miss the pick up, arranging a lovely dinner in the Riad terrace for us. He went above and beyond at all times. Jalil, who always works there with Sami, is very attentive also and willing to help you with everything you might need. They really are an asset to the place. I can't wait to go back.

Not much to complain about. Better coffee would have been nice? But this is just hotel coffee. The rooftop smelled dusty from the blockers to prevent the wind which was not nice. Again, this is a tiny, and basically unavoidable detail in Morocco!

Just behind Bahia Palace and right next to the medina, Riad Imilchil is tucked away, deep down an alley. The riad is beautiful, quiet and peaceful with a big rooftop terrace area to relax on. You're about 5 minutes walk away from everything, the market, the medina etc. There's a pool with cold water to cool down in after exploring. The breakfast is super good too! The rooms are spacious, super clean and well designed, even got a gift on leaving.

Literally nothing. I loved staying there.

The hotel was absolutely beautiful, great location, the breakfast was DELICIOUS and the best part was the staff. They were so kind and warm and really wanted you to have a wonderful visit. We didn't get any tour guides and were a bit nervous about that, but the staff at the hotel made sure we were oriented in the city and also organized excursions for us.

This place was fantastic. The staff are lovely, all very helpful and run by a lovely guy called Sammi who made very pleasant. The breakfast was amazing. The location is also very good. Would not hesitate to recommend this place to other visitors.

We can’t say enough about this riad and Sami, the man making sure everything is running smoothly and all the guests leave with the best memories from Marrakesh. The owner and staff were truly excellent; Mohamed, Sami etc were the most hospitable people in Marrakesh ready to help and show us their beautiful country. Also Halima cooked us the best tajine in Marrakesh! We are leaving Marrakesh with a new friend and can’t wait to come back and stay in this riad again!

The location and neighborhood was noisy

We destested the fact that Booking com didn't make it EXPLICIT that we had to pay CASH for the room at arrival. Since credit cards are not accepted, our 2 nights' stay at Riad Imilchil was difficult and arduous. We had to find ATM machines and/or banks to get cash, -- the lines were long, the machines did not dispense enough cash, which necessitated several trips. This adventure spoiled the trip! The time wasted getting cash meant we enjoyed less of Marrakesh than we had planned. Please make it EXPLICIT in bold letters on your Booking site that Riad Imilchil ONLY accepts CASH, doesn't accept credit cards-- nor is the room paid in advance on the booking site.

We liked the breakfast very much. The amenities in the room were very good. The service was super attentive. Kamal and Ayul were absolutely wonderful. Riad Imichil is VERY lucky to have them tending to guests.

The riad is dated. The sheets were stained and the bathroom a bit rusty. I can tell they cleaned but everything was extremely old.

The staff was very friendly and accommodating.

Couldn't sleep because of dog in the street barking very loudly the whole night. Abdelatif very strange and not helpful (door of room couldn't be locked, shower didn't work), other staff friendly though.

Stayed in May 2023

Staff were so nice especially Kamal, very helpful, the location is in the old city, near to all touristic areas,the breakfast was very good at the hotel, they change the menu a bit and it’s not every day the same, if the purpose is to live the traditional Moroccan architecture and not a modern fancy atmosphere, I definitely recommend it ! I don’t mind going there again!
