Riad Emberiza Sahari

We stayed here for 3 nights and we had the most perfect stay. Truly an oasis in the middle of Marrakesh. The staff here were some of the most friendly, helpful people we have ever met. They went above and beyond to make our stay as amazing as possible. The breakfast tasted as incredible as it looked, and the pool/property/rooms were so beautiful. We celebrated my birthday here and the staff could not have given us a better experience. This was our favourite place we stayed at in Morocco and will definitely be back. Highly recommend!

The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The location is a bit tricky to find, but there’s paid parking nearby in Riyadh. We booked a small suite, and one of the best things is that they prepare breakfast whenever you wake up — no fixed time for breakfast, which is really nice. Honestly, I recommend this place.

Well what can I say, what an absolutely stunning jewel of a place!. Me and my 4 friends have just returned home after having an incredibly amazing time staying at the Riad Emberiza Sahari on our girls trip away. A beautiful and tranquil piece of paradise tucked within the vibrant and bustling city the Riad well and truly exceeding our expectations. Younes and all the members of staff were very welcoming, tentative and informative. Nothing was too much trouble at all. The breakfasts were exceptional and plentiful and on our last day we treated ourselves to a traditional Moroccan lunch made by the chef. It was deliciously outstanding, and one of the best meals during our stay in Morocco! The Riad Emberiza Sahari is definitely somewhere we would come back to on a heartbeat. Thank you for making our stay so special!

We have just returned from this Riad and a great one week visit to Marrakesh. The Riad is very well appointed and has everything you need for a very comfortable stay. Special mention for the breakfast which is absolutely outstanding. We had dinner twice in the Riad and both meals were as good as those we had in highly regarded restaurants. What makes this place really special is the care and attentiveness of the stuff. Youness and his team could not have done more to make our stay as comfortable, interesting and relaxed as possible. We’ve been to Marrakesh before and had excellent service elsewhere, they’re not as good as this. Examples of the service included going to a local pharmacy to bring us some medical supplies and being escorted to a local barber for a haircut and ensuring that there were no language barriers and I got what I needed. How many hotels do that? Highly highly recommended.

I normally have no tendency towards sentimental exaggeration. But when I was sitting (having breakfast) under the fragrant orange tree in awesome Riad Emberiza Sahari, taking in the atmosphere, looking at the potted palmtree and the gorgeous white curtains, both swaying gently in the wind I was believing that I was in heaven! Having travelled the world and stayed at the most marvellous accomodations I am now convinced that Riad Emberiza Sahari is in a class of its own. I have never experienced a warmer welcome. All the staff are just lovely. My room was not only very beautiful, tasteful and comfy, it gave me a feeling like it wanted to embrace me and gently rock me to the best sleep EVER at night. The furniture, the cosy bathroom with the fragrant shower gel, the cute white poufs, the fabulous lamps, the superb decoration … I loved everything! Breakfast was splendid, its quality way above usual Moroccan breakfasts, and all my other breakfasts on my Morocco trips already were fantastic. When I told the lovely guy that THIS crêpe had been the best I had ever eaten, he came back in no time with the most affectionate smile to serve me a second crêpe. And this was only one of the many wonderful moments at the Riad. As I have been to Marrakesh several times it was not really my intention to visit again, I assumed. But when, after checkout, I asked if I could stay for 10 more minutes or so on the roof terrace and was told I could stay for 10 hours or so I had already been sure for quite some time that I would visit Marrakesh again - simply to stay at Riad Emberiza Sahari again! A huge thank you and many hugs to all the lovely people working there for the happiness of their guests.

The location is perfect. If you want to be on the edge of the Medina chaos (ie: close to everything) but want to feel a world away when you walk through the doors, this is the place for you. The hotel and rooms are AMAZINGLY beautiful. The staff is world class. The breakfasts by the pool were to die for. I cannot say enough about the staff (Younes/Mgr., Oussama, Hamouda, Ilham, and Ahmed). They go above and beyond. |I travel a lot and have a high bar when it comes to Customer Service. This team knows what great customer service means. ||Now some details: |-Let them arrange to/from airport transportation. |-Let them arrange your special day trips/tours. |-If you want beer/alcohol they will take you to Carrefour to get what you need. they will store your beverages in the kitchen fridge. (most restaurants do not offer alcohol). |-They will make recommendations on restaurants, and make your reservations for you, based on what you are looking for. The hotel dinners are fabulous too. |-Marrakech is a casual city. If you are a westerner, you don't have to worry about your clothes and covering up (unless you are going to a holy site) but be respectful. i.e., Don't wear short shorts. |-There are tons of things to do (you can do your own research). Just know that some things need to be arranged ahead of time. The staff can guide you. |-The airport is a nightmare. VERY SLOW so plan extra time to get through customs. This is not an understatement. |-The call to prayer in the Medina is early - 5:30ish am. You will get used to it, and you will go back to sleep. I sort of liked it. ||Most importantly, please tip the staff, (Chef, Driver, Mgr., House Keeping). Combined they will ensure that you have an amazing time at their Riad.

This Riad is stunning, it’s a slice of heaven in the hustle & bustle of Marrakesh. The food is delicious, the staff are amazing. The decor is beautiful! Younes really looked after us - he went above and beyond. Omar was amazing - everyone who worked there was just incredible. The kitchen ladies are just so lovely and cooked the best food ! Highly recommend this place. Location is perfect.

The Riad is beautiful. Traditional yet modern. So chic. But the staff are the best part about the Riad - they really understand hospitality.|Nabil, the manager, called me before I arrived to check everything was in order and confirm we were expected, which was nice. When we arrived we were welcomed with mint tea, and then served dinner. The lamb tagine is the best I have ever had, and the best food I had in Marrakesh was at the Riad. Breakfast is also lovely! Highly recommend the food - hats off to the chef! We were also serenaded by Omar playing the guitar on the first night which was also amazing. But my favourite member of staff was Muad. Muad is an absolute pleasure to deal with on a daily basis. He has lovely mannerisms and he really made us feel welcome. ||If I ever come back to Marrakesh I’d love to stay here again. If you are thinking about booking, don’t hesitate - you’ll not be disappointed.
