    It's a short walk to the city center, a peaceful area, and there's a nearby cafe to enjoy tea or coffee; the bedrooms have all the necessary facilities and there's plenty of food options available on the terrace.

    Our stay at Riad Penelope Marrakech was incredible. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome and went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. The manager, Smail, was so kind and accommodating, offering us drinks and even going out late at night to get us food. He helped us plan our itinerary and checked in on us during our excursions to make sure we were safe. The room was cozy and had a great shower, and the daily breakfast was delicious. The location was central and allowed us to easily explore the Medina. Despite a small issue with finding the Riad initially, our overall experience was fantastic. We highly recommend staying at Riad Penelope Marrakech for a truly memorable and enjoyable stay. we'll definitely recommend this hotel.

    The Riad Penelope Marrakech exceeded our expectations with its hospitality and kindness. The manager, Smail, went above and beyond, offering us welcome drinks and cake upon arrival. He even offered to get us hot food late at night. Smail helped us plan our itinerary and found us accommodations at another Riad when we needed to extend our stay. The Riad felt like home, with clean and comfortable rooms. Smail's attentiveness and willingness to help made our stay exceptional.

    Felt so taken care of, no complaints.

    Pros of our stay at Riad Penelope Marrakech: The Riad Manager Smile was beyond amazing! He was always super helpful and friendly, making our stay enjoyable. The location was perfect, close to transportation, markets, and major attractions. The rooms were clean and well-equipped with air conditioning and quality shampoos. The breakfast on the terrace was a delight, always different and filling. But the best part was the incredibly kind and caring host who went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. Highly recommend this accommodation!

    The location is perfect, right in the city center, making it easy to walk to everything. The big square, the medina, and all the activities are just steps away. The Riad is set back enough that it offers a quiet atmosphere, giving you a peaceful retreat from the busy streets. The rooms are clean and comfortable, with air conditioning and nice toiletries. The staff is incredibly helpful and friendly, going above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable. The breakfast served on the terrace is delicious, offering a variety of options to start your day off right.

    It can be a bit challenging to find the Riad initially, as the alleyways surrounding it are dimly lit at night. It's advisable to return before it gets too dark to avoid getting lost.

    I was blown away by the beautiful decor and the amazing location of Riad Penelope. The dedicated hospitality of Smail was unparalleled. As a budget traveler, I appreciated the attention to detail and personal touch. The daily breakfast was delicious and the rooms were well-maintained. I loved the convenience of having a SIM card set up by Smail and being able to contact him via WhatsApp for any help or recommendations. The riad's proximity to transportation access and major attractions made it perfect for exploring the city. a carefree experience with a personal touch.

    Felt amazing, no complaints.

    The manager, Smail, went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. He even provided us with a hand-drawn map to help us navigate the tucked away location. The breakfast was delicious and varied every day, adding a delightful touch to our mornings.

    We had a few minor inconveniences during our stay, such as a small room and a bed against the wall, making it difficult to get in and out. The shower head was not fixed to the wall, requiring us to hold it during showers.
