This property is inside the medina, near the square, the street is inaccessible by taxi so be prepared to walk with your luggage a good 10 minutes from drop off point. But, you will be nicely greeted by Jesu and served welcome Moroccan mint tea when you arrive. Also walkable to Koutoubia Mosque.

Wonderful time in Marrakech
Our family of five (2 grandparents and 3 grandsons) loved this Riad. The rooms were terrific, the breakfasts were a delight and the service was incomparable. Our transportation was arranged and our two tours were great. We couldn’t have asked for a better time in Marrakech.

The room was spacious and comfortable. It is attached to a restaurant that had music playing until 11pm, with noice not finishing until closer to midnight. Very beautiful restaurant views. Very good, hot breakfast.

Liked: Cleanliness
Staff is friendly, however they do try to hustle you a bit. Also are a little too flirty for women traveling alone. Pricing for extra amenities (transport, laundry, iron) changes depending on who you talk with or when you talk with them. Bathroom is shared and very public, I recommend making sure you have your own while staying. Not a horrible stay, but will not be returning.

Do go ahead and book this place if you like cockroaches, filthy furniture, leaking taps and theft of belongings! (tried to resolve this all with Expedia first but no resolution hence the review) First time in Marrakech and wow what a lesson this has been in hotels/ riads and what you should do when you're in a country with no phone service and no understanding of what to actually do when things go wrong. No first aid provided at the hotel (unless you count a sterile pad and ice as first aid) after one of us slipped because of their inability to provide any floor covering outside of the 'shower' (the term shower is laughable- it's literally about 9 tiles on the floor right next to the toilet, with a shower hose attached to the wall) area in the en suite rooms. Building works going on for most of our stay that we had to get through to eat breakfast and facilities overall absolutely awful. Pictures are not representative of how this place actually is today unfortunately. Apparently the rooms with shared bathrooms are better but I wouldn't know as I unfortunately booked an en suite room. I will say that the location is good- literally 2 minutes to Jemaa El Fnaa square but aside from that, sorry, nothing positive to add. Avoid at all costs and take your money to a decent establishment where you, your health and your belongings will be safe.

Great location situated just next to Jemaa El Fnaa square. Staff were nice and friendly especially Habib and Shareefa in the terrace restaurant. Amazing food and great service on the terrace and best place for shisha in the vicinity of the square and surrounding. Really good music in the evening and nice atmosphere overall. Bedding in rooms could be more comfortable and only 1 plug socket in the room not ideal. Overall 4/5 stars!

Perfectly acceptable
Staff were sweethearts, fluent in French and English. Location was perfect as many day tours depart from Cafe de France, a half-block away. Breakfast could be s...l...o...w, which is problematic if you’re supposed to meet a guide @ 8ish a.m., & coffee always came at the END of breakfast, as I was ready to give up & walk out the door half-asleep; WiFi was hit & miss in the room, although reliable in common areas. Absolutely acceptable for the price.

Unforgettable
Hotel El Kennaria with its unique decor, that creates an atmosphere for a traveller wanting to explore the red brick city of Marrakech. The family that consists of the kitchen staff, cleaners, to the reception attendents pull you into their family with advice and kind conversations. The Kennaria has a hidden jewel in its crown, if you are lucky and happen to pass by the old Jewish quaters make sure to look out for Jamal el hanifi, working at The Square Cafe, straight out of Rudyard Kiplings book Kim, Jamal embodies the life of Marakech, a true Marakshi boy brought up in the old town, his charming yet comical American accent is the breeding of years of helping travelers and YouTube. Jamal's unique gift is learning a language effortlessly, adding to his already long list is his joy. His knowledge of the cities hidden wonders are unsurpassable (so ask or you will miss out), once he shakes your hand and leads you to a table you will end up making a true friend, don't lose out on this chance and pass him by. ( Happy new year, Ladies and gents are you ready) from Al feelun: The Indian Elephant.
