The hotel itself is clean and nicely decorated, but needs a renovation (do not trust the images from their web-site). But noise is terrible. Depending on the location of your room you have a choise between screaming children (day and night), circular saw (during the day), noisy neighbors walking upstaires and downstaires (day and night). But the personnel is worst... More

I can't say enough nice things about this place. We arrived here after another place (Riad Nakhla) misplaced our reservation, treated us rudely, and then booked us into a place with which we were very dissatisfied. Fed up with how we'd been treated at our initial riad, we went in search of somewhere else and happened upon Hotel Emeraude. The... More

This little hotel definately has pros and cons. The rooms are tiny but clean, modern and nicely decorated. Not too moroccan in decor, but modern and thoughtful. There is a lovely terrace for breakfast and taking in the sun (I can imagine, it was cold and wet when we were there). However, the cons of this place really come out... More

The room was clean and the toilet was very good Nice terrace, friendly service They knew somebody who works in the Cooperative and we bought them a litre Huile d'Argan (oil)... More

After the disappointment of our accomodation in Marrakech this charming little hotel was just what the doctor ordered. Located against the rampart walls it´s easy to locate with a half decent town plan. The whole riad has a nautical feel befitting the town´s Atlantic coast location. The mixture of white, blue, and yellow as interior decor gives the place a... More

Slightly difficult to find, down a tiny street in the medina leading from a small gate in the city walls. Turned up and hoped they had a room, at first said no, then they had afterall. Room was ok, but nothing special, staff friendly, breakfast on roof terrace very pleasant. Convenient location and fairly quiet. Charged us slightly more on... More

My partner and I stayed in Emeraude Hotel in August 2006. We came across the hotel in Lonely Planet and booked a room for five nights via email. When we arrived at the hotel we were told that they didn't actually have a room available for the first night, but had booked us into a hotel nearby called La Mason... More
