I went with two of my adult daughters and their friend - so varied tastes to cater for - and we all came away saying we'd had a wonderful time. We were met at the airport as arranged and taken to the car park by the medina. What felt like a long, mysterious walk down narrow alleyways to the Riad was a familiar street with many friendly waves by the time we left. Our rooms were clean, cool and spacious. We had breakfast on the roof terrace every morning, with Marrakech spread out around us. The plunge pool was the perfect antidote to sunbathing. The hammam was refreshing and it was worth paying the extra for a full body exfoliation. But the best part of the Riad was the staff. They really have the knack of making you feel utterly relaxed and at home. Nothing seemed to ruffle them and they were helpful at every turn. We loved the hustle and bustle of Marrakech and being so close to the square and the souk. However it was wonderful to return to the peace of the Riad. We would all go back tomorrow if we could.

The hotel is very well placed, in a quiet street inside the Medina in the walking zone . Although you have to walk, it is only 5 minutes to the entrance where you can catch a Taxi if you need one, otherwise , you can visit all the old part by foot.
The Riad is nice, in Morrocan style. The price was good, but you have to consider it a 3 or 4 star riad at the most.. 5 star riads are really fabulous ( as well as the price. ) .
Breakfast was allways the same.. Orange juice, coffee or tea and a small variety of bread. strawberry and peach jam.. 1 piece of butter.. The same every day.. But for us was enough.
At our arrival staff asked us if we would like to dine there. Being the first night and not being confident with the city we agreed. They immediately brought us the menu in order for us to decide what to eat . It was a mistake.. Afterwards we went to the city and we would have stayed there for dinner if we had not booked already . I think there was a little pressure on their behalf . Food was rather expensive compared to what you find in the city.. -we were the only group dining in the terrace( with no view whatsoever) that night.. On the other hand the atmosphere was quiet and nice.. as well as food.
The last night we went to a very good restaurant "La Tania" View from the terrace as well as food was really great, the price more or less what we paid at the Riad Zenith.
Regarding tours , it is better to check around before booking one. You can find the same tour being sold at different prices depending on the operator . Zenith tours were more expensive.
At our arrival we saw they were advertising some tours. We asked for a guide to show us the city.. they offered the services of one person for a certain amount.. When the guide arrived he did not agree whith the price we were given. We decided not to take the tour. We were glad we visited the city by ourselves. With a proper guide book you avoid misunderstandings and pressure from these guides. they insiste in taking you to some stores arguing only they know who are the real marroco handycraft and not chinese . Even if you tell them you are not intereseted in buying anything but only sightseeing, they insinst to take you to these shops, where they oviously receive a comission.
At check out I was charged an extra for paying with credit card.
I would like to go back to Marrakesh to visit the desert.. The experience was great.

We have returned from our trip to Marrakech. The Riad was the best part of the trip! The Children adored it (Aged 5 & 10). The suite was the perfect size and was lovly, with a fabulous bathroom. We ordered dinner on our first night and we were only sorry that was the only evening we ate there, the food was the best we had in Marrakech, not to mention the very pleasant house Morrocan wine. The splash pool was perfect for the children after the hurley burley of the outside world, and the roof top terrace was the perfect escape for an afternoon nap! The staff were impectable and the service excellent.
If it is your first trip to Marrakech, don't be put of my your 4 minute walk along a dusty alley, someone from the Riad will meet you and help with your lugage, this is par for the cause with any descent Marrkech Riad, and trust me the location is perfect, with in good walking distance of the main square, but far enough away to be nice and pieceful. I would definatly visit the Riad again, but beware if you have yet to book, 2 full days in Marrakech is Plenty, we had 3 and it was too long!

Stayed at Riad Zenith with friends during a long weekend break to Marrakesh. Having read some of the reviews on Tripadvisor we had a few concerns. The riad is quite a long way down a narrow alley but this is pretty normal for a riad and adds to the whole experience of Marrakesh! Once through the door, we were in a beautiful, peaceful Oasis.

We found the staff at the riad to be extremely welcoming and helpful. On arriving at the airport I realised that I had forgotten to let the staff know our flight number, but it did not take them long to get a car out to us!! As we arrived in the evening, we were shown to and around Jamaa El Fna rather than just being given directions, which was very kind and ensured we didn’t get lost!! We were able to enjoy food and wine by the plunge pool, in our room or on the lovely terrace –the staff were always happy to help.

Others have reported problems with their bill but we had no issues... we were advised in advance about the tourist tax (which applies wherever you stay) and on arrival about the card charge so were able to pay with cash. The only slight disappointment was expecting a free hammam (as stated in our booking with Venere.com) but we were advised that this did not include the basic wash and scrub, so it is worth double checking if this is offered when you book. However, we definitely wanted the hammam experience and the price was the same at the riad as it was in other places and was totally worth £12 it ended up costing! We also felt it was a bonus having the hammam in the riad as it meant we could go back to our room and relax afterwards. Perfect bliss!!

Basically, we loved Riad Zenith, fully recommend it and will definitely be going back there if (hopefully when) we go back to Marrakesh.

Some wonderful memories were made here!!
