Riad Olema et Spa

Riad Olema & Spa was a tranquil oasis inside the bustling Marrakesh Medina. The decor was impeccable, the amenities were just what we needed after a two week tour of Morocco, the staff was lovely and helpful, and the breakfast was great. We did not want to leave.

Beautiful riad in a perfect location in the medina. Close to the outer walls, convenient for airport drop off and pick up. We also booked two activities and were picked up about 5 minutes away. Friendly and helpful staff, delicious breakfast. Spotless room and relaxing communal areas. There is a tourist tax on departure which we didn’t know about but less than £20 for 4 nights.

This hotel is an oasis of peace in a wonderfully busy city. It is a beautiful place with exceptional rooms and services but the staff are what make it so special. They are so helpful and attentive and make you feel like royalty! A very special mention must go to Hakim who is just the most polite, helpful and amazing person! He will answer any questions and offer tips and information to make your stay and visit perfect. On a rainy day he organised for us to have a Hammam and massage in their Spa which had not been due to open that day! The Hammam experience was sublime and so welcome on a cold wet day! Breakfast was fantastic! Always something traditional and all fresh and tasty. It was such a lovely way to start the day, sitting in the courtyard, listening to the water fountain. We had such a wonderful stay at Riad Olema and can’t recommend it highly enough. We had pretty poor weather but going back to a roaring fire and mint tea at Olema made our stay perfect!

Nice experience in a nice neighborhood
