Very nice Riad with nice furniture and modern decoration. Friendly staff and owner. 15min walk from Medina main place. Taxis are available from 5min walkimg distance in Kasbah main entry.
Breakfast was for us not good, we prefere to have more options and variations. It includes butter jelly honey nature jogurt one fruit bread tea or coffee. We had luck that the weather was nice so it was ok to get the breakfast every morning in the not heated rooftop area. I prefere to eat somewhere which is warm, in summer it could be nice. The Riad rooms are not so isolated so you will hear noices from other guests.

Everything was clean and nicely designed. The inner courtyard was lovely and so was the roof top. The best thing about Riad Amira is the staff. They were all so kind and helpful — answering all questions and gave tips on where to go/eat. I felt very well taken care of as a solo traveller. The next best thing is their food. Probably the best chicken tajine I had while in Marrakesh.
My room was in the back of the Riad, so the wifi was barely available.

Located in the Kasbah district of the Medina, a 15 minute walk to main square. Safe by day and night. We walked this route several times. Quiet, comfortable, excellent service, beautiful people and Riad. Hassan was tremendous with suggestions and booking taxi, and excursions to Atlas Mountains and Camel rides. Wonderful people, absolutely beautiful architecture and design. Plentiful breakfast and service from ladies on staff. Wine and beer available for sale.
There were no complaints

This is a lovely Riad. It's beautifully decorated, the rooms are very pretty, and the courtyard and pool are great to relax in. I stayed here on two occasions and both times, I had a great stay. The staff are really nice to deal with and the hotel is clean and very well maintained. I was very grateful to have good air-conditioning. The breakfast provided is good. The location is really good - it's off a main road in the Kasbah so you don't have too far to walk from where the taxi drops you off. It's in a safe quiet area where there are plenty of cafes and restaurants within minutes walk. I enjoyed seeing all the family activity around the nearby mosque at night. Note: It's about a 12min walk to Jemaa el-Fna.
The shower needs some sort of screen or curtain - it was annoying having to mop up all the water around the base of the toilet after every shower. The old doors to the suites are beautiful but I found the padlock setup a bit of a pain. The room could use a mini fridge so you can keep drinks cold. All minor things that wouldn't put me off staying here again.

Scherifa and Paula were so nice and helpful with everything. It’s nicely decorated.
The room was extremely cold. They turned on the airco and they said it will be warm soon, and it just got colder. Especially with the architecture of such Riad, heater is very necessary. I froze whole night and caught cold while it was the first night of my stay in Marrakech. The pool is not for use and the water is very cold.

The decoration is awesome; the rooms are comfortable; the breakfast is great; the staff is nice...and it's well located from most of the touristic places to visit. A very good place to stay in Marrakech!
The shower is not very functional (water all over the place), and not every guest understood the noise system in a riad, specially during our last night.

The riad offered a delightful escape in the heart of the city. Its charming ambiance, comfortable rooms, and convenient location made it a suitable choice for exploring Marrakech's vibrant culture. One of the highlights of my stay was enjoying breakfast. The breakfast offerings were simple yet delicious, featuring local pastries, freshly squeezed orange juice, and aromatic Moroccan tea. The staff was really accommodating and helped us with any query we had. They even provided us with breakfast on the days when we needed to leave early.

This is one of my favourite hotels that I've ever stayed in. It is so tranquil and relaxing and only has 7 rooms. Everything is really clean and well maintained and it is decorated so elegantly throughout. I loved the big peaceful bathroom in our room with the copper sink and traditional wooden ceiling. We stayed slightly out of season (beginning of March) so the weather wasn't really hot but I imagine the riad would be nice and cool in the summer. The pool is nice and clean (my son had me in it everyday even though it was still a little cold this time of year!) and the roof terrace is fantastic. The courtyard in the centre of the building is covered over during winter months so it doesn't let in rain, etc and is a lovely place to relax. The host Paola is very helpful and friendly, as are all the brilliant hospitipal staff, and you can contact her on WhatApp with any queries even if she's not on site. We had tea with her upon arrival and she talked us through a map of Marrakech and gave us tips and suggestions on places to go. The breakfast is nice and plentiful and the wifi was never a problem as there are multiple networks throughout the building. When looking for a hotel we found Riad Amira quite early in our search and it definitely stood out. We then continued to search more expensive places but nothing we saw seemed to quite have the feel of Riad Amira. We did wonder if we'd get there and it would become apparent why it was cheaper but that was not the case and thankfully everything was beautiful. It exceeded our expectations and I'm so glad we chose it. Location-wise it is situated in the Kasbah just down the road from Moulay el Yazid Mosque and about a 15min walk from the madness of Jemaa el Fna and the Medina. The Kasbah is definitely more chill than the rest of the old town and a great place to base yourself without constantly getting lost in the souk.

The common areas of the hotel are absolutely charming & so carefully thought out. The personnel are just lovely too - they are a real strength. I felt that no-one could do enough for me. I even got an early breakfast made specially because I had to leave before the breakfast. I loved the bed - one of the most comfortable I have slept in for a while away from home. The early check in and check out times compared to other Riad were also a big plus. It was hot & having the aircon on for my arrival was great too.
I would have loved to be able to make a cup of tea in my room, but the is a small point. Otherwise it was really fantastic.

What a great start of our trip from the reception Hiva took care of us and gave us tips around the Medina, restaurants and the Souks. We met Paola the owner who was also a delight. If you want to come to Marrakech you must stay at. Riad Amira and experience great hospitality and amazing amenities.
