My stay at Riad Elijah Marrakech & Spa was a mixed bag. While the staff, especially Zak, were super caring and helpful, I faced a few downsides like inconsistent hot water and a bit of a struggle with the Wi-Fi connectivity in my room. Overall, the traditional decor and convenient location made it enjoyable, but there were definitely areas for improvement.

My stay at Riad Elijah was a mixed experience. While I appreciated the comfortable ambiance and safety of the place, I felt the communication barriers with the staff detracted from my visit. Additionally, some amenities didn't meet my expectations, making the experience less than ideal.

The Superior Double Room was cozy but smaller than anticipated. I was disappointed to find no windows for natural light, leaving the space feeling a bit clautrophobic. The air conditioning worked perfectly, which was a relief.

The staff was friendly, especially the elderly lady who welcomed me each morning. However, the language barrier made it difficult to receive helpful recommendations or information about the local area. I missed out on breakfast because I always left too early.

Breakfast was simple, yet served with a welcoming smile. However, I expected fresh-squeezed juice instead of boxed options. It felt a bit lacking compared to what I'd hoped for.

The Riad had some nice features but fell short on certain amenities. I encountered a broken shower head and missed having regular maid service during my stay due to Eid celebrations.

I enjoyed my stay at Riad Elijah Marrakech & Spa, especially because of the friendly staff and comfortable bed. However, the room was smaller than expected, and the amenities left a bit to be desired, like the pre-packaged juice for breakfast. Overall, while it had its downsides, the cozy atmosphere made for a nice getaway in Marrakesh.

I had a cozy stay at Riad Elijah Marrakech & Spa, and the staff were super friendly and welcoming. However, I did find some drawbacks, like the damp air in my subterranean room and the misleading room size. Overall, it was a decent experience with some charm, but not without its quirks.
Rooms

My room was a Comfort Triple Room with a nice, authentic vibe, but the dampness after showers was a bit uncomfortable. I also found the space smaller than I expected, and the lack of a window made it feel a little claustrophobic at first. The air conditioning worked well though, which was a relief.

The Riad's location was pretty convenient for exploring the medina and Gueliz, being just a short walk from the bustling markets. However, it can be a bit daunting if you approach from the wrong side, with varying levels of treatment from locals.

Breakfast offered simple options, like boxed juice instead of fresh-squeezed. It was nice enough, especially served with a smile, but it didn't quite measure up to what I've experienced in other places.

I didn't get to enjoy the spa since it was closed during my visit, and other amenities like room service and laundry were available but not needed on my short stay. Parking was convenient, which was a plus.

My stay at Riad Elijah Marrakech & Spa was good! The location was superb, making it easy to reach the medina and local markets. Although the Wi-Fi could be spotty in my room and I experienced cooler water during some showers, the hospitality from the staff, particularly Chawki and Rabiaa, truly made my visit nice. I'd definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for a slice of traditional Moroccan life.
