Beautiful property, friendly staff- all very helpful and genuinely kind. I found significant issues with the rooms though - from a shower that backed up flooding the WC, to mold on bathroom walls ( large areas covered in mold not little bits) a clogged, old hand shower, very spotty WiFi, heat out entirely in one room ( attributed the issue to a storm however it had began the day before) wobbly, unkept furniture, lounge chair on which the bottom had given out, loose, old bathroom faucets that were all loose and wobbly etc. For the price of the rooms (or any cost for that matter) I found all these things unacceptable. I brought up some of the significant issues to the staff while there(backed up plumbing etc) and was moved to 3 different rooms during my stay. The staff was accommodating but spent a lot of time apologizing (I felt so bad for them) I am a kind and reasonable person and I fault the facilities manager - Focus needs to expand to the basic function and care of the units and not rely so much on the “optics” and aesthetics to carry the property through. The things I noticed seemed chronic and to not have been tended to for a long time (like the mold covering a huge part of the wall- that would take months) To experience issues with BASIC ESSENTIALS like the bathrooms seems inexcusable. The service staff is kind and lovely but I will not stay here again. Whoever is in charge of maintenance of the units needs a talking to by ownership.

My room was beautiful, the grounds were beautiful, the food and wine were excellent. You cannot lock your room which I found to be strange, I had no issues and my stuff was fine but I found it strange that the rooms had no key and could not be locked. With the exception of the person that checked me in, a very nice lady that was there during the evening and one of the bar tenders, I found the rest of the staff to be cold and impersonal. The staff at the rooftop area where they serve breakfast was very impersonal and slow. I would recommend coming for lunch and taking advantage of the photo opportunities but unfortunately I would not recommend staying here. There are much better Riads with more personal service and nice rooms for far less money. Although the room I had was spectacular, there was no heat on one of the coldest nights and no one to answer the phone when I called about it. This place shuts down after a certain time which surprisingly at the smaller Riads someone is always at the reception desk. I went back and forth between whether to book at La Mamounia or here and chose El Fenn because of the uniqueness of the rooms but for the price I paid I expected a certain level of service which I felt was lacking here. There was also an issue with the housekeeping not cleaning the room well, they comped some charges to the room to compensate but they argued with me over it before just offering to waive the fees. Again great spot for pics and food but not sure about staying

The staff were really friendly and nice and the breakfast was really nice. I didnt like the room though for 2 reasons, first it was very dark at night even with all the lights on. Secondly there is no privacy for the bathrooms. It was a family 2 bedroom apartment but the toilet was visible from the bedroom as was the rest of the bathroom. It made it uncomfortable and hard to relax. Putting a solid door on the bathroom would have easily solved the issue.

A beautiful gem in the heart of the Medina
An incredible boutique hotel experience. A perfect balance of 'being waited on' so you feel pampered (become stationary for too long and a waiter will appear out of no where and deliver you a glass bottle of water and snacks) but not too distant from real Marrakech life to feel you're missing out on the real thing. The riad itself is a feast for the eyes with it's pieces of art and incredibly furniture pieces (whose arrangement was constantly updated) which means during our 10 day stay we never got bored of just being in the riad, relaxing. The 3 different pools means after a few hours out in the heat, there will always be somewhere for you to take a dip. A stone's throw from the medina, so plenty things to see, shop and eat within walking distance. Highly recommended! There's simply no need to travel around when you're somewhere this good!

Luxury at Riad El Fenn
Staying at Riad El Fenn was one of the greatest hotel experiences I’ve had. The grounds were stunning. The staff was warm, friendly, and super responsive and accommodating. They made suggestions and all our reservations they helped us navigate the winding roads of the souk and negotiate taxi fees. They are family. I love the Riad El Fenn thought of every tiny detail - it made the stay even more incredible. We couldn’t be any happier with our choice and have started thinking about when we could go back. I recommend this hotel to everyone.

Oozes charm and culture
We debated heavily between El Fenn and the Amanjena property outside of town. In the end, we chose El Fenn and could not have been happier with our stay. The moment you enter the colorful and infinitely Instagrammable property from a side street inside the Medina (but with very easy access to other parts of town), you enter a secret garden in a different world. Our room - the Red Room - on the top floor was an interior, large room off of one of several courtyards throughout the property. Essentially, El Fenn is a collection of riads artfully tied together. We paid more for the large category and it was worth it. Huge bedroom, wood fireplace, giant bathroom, cozy bedding, and an El Fenn "newspaper" that serves as a menu, guide, map, and general interest go-to on all things Marrakech. Evening drinks and morning breakfast on the rooftop - with the call to prayer wailing - never disappointed. And given the manageable size of the Medina and outlying parts of the city, you cannot beat the location. Because we were with a large group for a milestone birthday party, we did not eat at the hotel other than breakfast but it was top-notch with a delicious shakshuka on offer. All in all, highly recommended.

overpriced
Nice Riyad. Overpriced for a room overlooking the street with no bathroom door, no tv, toilet and shower the same space. Otherwise nice and clean. Nothing special. Has a good restaurant. No music. Central location. Breakfast on the roof with no ceiling so good luck if it is raining. I would stay there at a third of the price.

Excellent service from the whole team
We stayed at El Fenn as part of our 10 year anniversary trip. The whole team was very helpful and very friendly the entire duration of our stay. The place if very nicely designed with beautiful art all over, and nicely decorated rooms. The views from the terrace are wonderful. On our anniversary the hotel arranged rose petals all over the room and gave us an upgrade to one of the XL rooms which was an absolutely amazing touch that made our day even more special. We will certainly be staying here again, and will be recommending this to any of our friends going to Marrakech.

Lovely Riad in the Medina
Stayed 3 days in El Fenn. Highly recommend the set lunch. Dinner in the restaurant on our final night was very good. We decided to use an El Fenn recommended guide for a tour of the Medina, he was insightful and we got to see all aspects of the Medina including Mosques, museums, workshops, he also helped us identify the range of quality of goods on offer in the souks as well as the highest prices to pay. El Fenn was a lovely working Riad that allows you space to relax on the roof terrace in the sun or relax in the shade in one of the many quiet spaces in and around the Riad. It has 3 pools and a spa. It is within a short work of the main square that come to life from dusk onwards.
