The room was beautifully decorated, creating a cozy atmosphere, although unexpected visits from cockroaches disrupted the experience significantly. Despite this, the staff displayed commendable hospitality and arranged a delightful meal upon arrival.

An oasis of calm in Marrakech
Arriving at Riad Samsara after a long journey felt like stepping into a serene haven. Bouchra and her team greeted us warmly, offering refreshing mint tea as we waited for our beautifully decorated Jacaranda room to be prepared. The space was a delight, showcasing traditional Moroccan craftsmanship, and breakfast enjoyed in the sun on the terrace was an unforgettable treat.
The evening temperatures dropped quite low, making our stay a bit chilly at times. We had to request a fire in the fireplace, and the initial response from staff felt somewhat indifferent. Lastly, the location, while peaceful, was a little farther from the main attractions than we expected, requiring some navigation.

missingWrote a review on Oct 11room cleanlinessmanagement issues
During my stay, I faced a significant inconvenience with the room cleanliness. Even though the initial impression was fine, I discovered a tiny cockroach on the wall. It was unsettling to wake up to a larger cockroach crawling near me. This caused sleepless nights and forced me to leave a day early. I didn't feel comfortable sleeping in that room anymore. My attempts to resolve the issue with management were met with disregard, adding to my disappointment. Talking to the staff was somewhat reassuring, but the lack of response from management really overshadowed my experience.

Family with children will love this
The atmosphere was really warm, you could feel it right away as soon as you entered. The food prepared by Milouda was heavenly, especially the Tagine adorned with rose petals. I swear, it was the best meal we had during our travels.
It wasn't cheap, but worth every penny.

Absolutely adored the beautiful decor and the peaceful vibe! Our late-night check-in was a breeze thanks to the lovely arrangements. The food? Oh darling, it was so good we contemplated moving in permanently!
The signposting was trickier than finding your left shoe in a messy closet!

Just a reliable pick for a short stay in Marrakesh with good value for price. The delicious breakfast was a nice touch, setting the tone for the day. Look out for the small alley entrance, it's easy to miss.
