Riad Chams Marrakech

The hosts couldn’t have done more to make us feel welcome. I’d highly recommend staying here for some peace and calm amongst the chaos of Marrakesh. We met the beautiful resident cat and 2 of the 4 tortoises! Such a beautiful place. Upon arrival we were given tea and biscuits whilst filling in the formalities. We were given a map, showing places of interest. We booked a meal at the Riad for the first night, which was very nice. Be aware that the Riad is down a series of alley ways and you are likely to encounter sick and injured animals. This unfortunately spoiled our experience and we did all we could by feeding them whilst there. But I wasn’t prepared for some of the things I saw. I would highly recommend a visit to the Atlas Mountains whilst there. They can arrange it for you if you haven’t made other arrangements. All in all a really beautiful Riad. If I were going back to Marrakesh I’d definitely stay there again

Our stay started on the 18/06/2022 and finished on the 25/06/2022. A young couple. As we arrived in Marrakesh, a taxi to the hotel was around 15 minutes and cost 70dhs. *********** for taxis is really good as we booked one from them on the way back. Finding the hotel was easy, location was in the heart of Marrakesh . The taxi drops you off a couple minutes away from the hotel, as the ally ways will not allow cars to get through. Google maps is handy, just make sure you purchase a sim from the airport. Once at Raid Chams, we was welcomed nicely with tea and biscuits, rooms were really nice and everything was traditional. One worker always at the hotel to let people in. While during the days, other workers do duties around the Raid. I would recommend booking massages early as there is a 15% discount, I would recommend trying a few on the menu. 10/10 massages and service. Only one massage table keep this in mind unless you want one in your room. Nice pool, not huge but good for cold soaks, you’ll need this when temperatures reach 40 degrees. The whole Raid has 6 rooms, ground floor only has one room, it was the garden view which was really nice. Easy entry and access. Nice rooftop for chilling out. Overall if your looking for a cheap but reasonable hotel, please do consider this. It’s location is very good as you can go the the new town (gueliz) in 10 minutes, (jemaa el fna) 10 minutes. All staff are nice and at your service. Avoid food as its expensive and not worth it, order online on Glovo as we did nearly everyday. Apart from that all a good experience.
