We stayed 3 nights in Sept 2011 and had a pretty good experience ; rooms are nice and well decorated also a little small ; the pictures on the website might be misleading , some parts of the hotel are a bit tired - breakfast on the roof top is enjoyable ; staff is friendly and gives good advise ....

This is a great little hotel/riad near the south east walls of the Medina. Only a few minutes walk from the Supratours bus depot and a 5 minute walk to the souks and to the beach where there are plenty of cafes/resturants to suit every budget. Our room was situated on the roof terrace, and although small (particuarlly the bathroom)... More

The website is an extemely airbrushed version of the hotel. It is quite a bit more tired looking than what shows and clever photo angles mean that you cant see just how small the rooms are. Our double bed was pushed to the wall there was only space for 3 people to stand in the room. The rooms are hostel... More

The Ryad is clean and nicely decorated by the owner himself. Durind the ramadan period it could be a little bit noisy at night....but it's part of the cultural and traditional aspects of this place at that time period !!! The personnel is very nice and helpfull, ask them what you need and you will be heard at any time... More

The hotel itself is clean and nicely decorated, but needs a renovation (do not trust the images from their web-site). But noise is terrible. Depending on the location of your room you have a choise between screaming children (day and night), circular saw (during the day), noisy neighbors walking upstaires and downstaires (day and night). But the personnel is worst... More

I can't say enough nice things about this place. We arrived here after another place (Riad Nakhla) misplaced our reservation, treated us rudely, and then booked us into a place with which we were very dissatisfied. Fed up with how we'd been treated at our initial riad, we went in search of somewhere else and happened upon Hotel Emeraude. The... More

This little hotel definately has pros and cons. The rooms are tiny but clean, modern and nicely decorated. Not too moroccan in decor, but modern and thoughtful. There is a lovely terrace for breakfast and taking in the sun (I can imagine, it was cold and wet when we were there). However, the cons of this place really come out... More

The room was clean and the toilet was very good Nice terrace, friendly service They knew somebody who works in the Cooperative and we bought them a litre Huile d'Argan (oil)... More

After the disappointment of our accomodation in Marrakech this charming little hotel was just what the doctor ordered. Located against the rampart walls it´s easy to locate with a half decent town plan. The whole riad has a nautical feel befitting the town´s Atlantic coast location. The mixture of white, blue, and yellow as interior decor gives the place a... More
