Overall, we really enjoyed this beautiful hotel. We especially loved the spacious pool and patio areas and the poolside bar. When making our reservation, I made note that we would like to have a room with a balcony or terrace even though the category that we booked was not guaranteed to have one. They took note and gave us a room with a very lovely balcony that we enjoyed very much . The hotel is located on the edge of the Medina, so is about a 20 minute easy walk to the main Square. The positive of being on the edge is that we could arrive by car to the front door. The breakfast was wonderful and we enjoyed very good service while enjoying starting our day eating on the patio overlooking the pool. Overall, the service was very good, with a couple of exceptions. We went to the front desk one afternoon to ask for a recommendation for a rooftop restaurant that wasn’t too touristy. The woman at the desk flatly said “they’re all touristy go to this one (don’t recall the name) you don’t need a reservation.” I was quite taken aback that she was so dismissive and negative and not more helpful. We asked again a little bit later when there were two gentlemen at the front desk and they made several recommendations, helped us decide, and made the reservation for us. What a dramatic difference in service from the different employees. Also, the mini bar refrigerator in our room was not working on arrival. We immediately notified them and they said they would send someone to fix it, but next morning still not working. We ask that they replace it with another unit and by the time we returned from our day’s activities we had a working mini bar refrigerator. Overall highly recommend even with the couple of hiccups in service.

“Highly recommended, would stay again”

Really nice place to stay, would stay there again. Very friendly staff, not too big so feeling a more intimate hotel stay without being too small. Good amenities with restaurant, bar and pool. We had a nice corner room on the ground floor.

“A wonderful oasis in the busy Medina”

We stayed for 4 nights in April 2026. Les Jardins de la Medina is not the cheapest place to stay in Marrakesh, but it's hard to think of anywhere better.

We stayed for 4 nights in April 2026. Les Jardins de la Medina is not the cheapest place to stay in Marrakesh, but it's hard to think of anywhere better. Located in the slightly quieter southern end of the medina, it's still within walking distance of Jmaa el Fna and most of the main cultural sites. Its traditional courtyard riad style makes it quiet, and the central gardens are beautiful, and offer respite from the full-on experience of the busy souks and alleys of the medina. The hotel has an excellent restaurant, with a good range of Moroccan and international choices. Our solarium rooms were comfortable and clean, and the provision of mineral water was a nice touch, as was the choice of pillow scents. All the staff, from the front desk to the restaurant and domestic staff were delightful - friendly and professional. We recommend les Jardins de la Medina without reservation.

“The calm before the storm...”

Spent 4 days at this very authentic , tranquil , peaceful and charming riad which is in complete contrast to when you step outside into the chaotic and frantic medina . The location is pretty central to everything either via a walk through the medina which is an eyeopener or via a taxi which is a similar experience , every taxi journey seemed to be 100 dirham We went with friends , we had a charming but basic room with small port hole windows , it was adequate for the stay , albeit we had room envy as they had a lovely terrace. The service is understated but adequate , breakfast again is adequate , pool area is small and very shady , beds are available but not always in the sun . There did seem to be a strange towel policy or perhaps non policy ... 2 were left in the room , if you use them , there is no where to dry them as such , we left them by the pool in the hope of getting 2 new towels the next day , this seemed to be at odds to the reception who could not fathom our request . In conclusion , if you want to avoid the "chain" hotel and do wish to have a more local experience and not seeking all the "bells and whistles" , then I would certainly recommend a stay
