We went for a Morocco tour and Riad Medea offered us the perfect stay in Marrakech.
First, it is located in the heart of the Medina but it is within reach without getting lost through the maze.
Second, the rooms are beautifully decorated in Moroccan style, very spacious, with big, traditional gates instead of normal doors and with an elegantly furbished bathroom.
Third comes the pool which has the perfect size to give you the cosy feeling of a private one but enough space to cool you down after the +50 degrees C of Marrakech.
The staff was very helpful all the way by taking us from the taxi and bringing us to the Riad (we just called them when we were in the taxi) and giving us tips on what to do, where to go and how much to pay for things.
Breakfast - always on time, very good jam and sorts of traditional pancakes. I would have loved something salted though. That could be added moving on ...
I found it lovely and we would definitely go back!

Third stay at Riad Medea, excellent location in the Medina, close to lots of main tourist attractions in the heart of the city. Friendly staff who know how to look after you. Would definitely recommend.

We had a very relaxing stay at Riad Medea for four nights, the room was cool and nice and airy to make it pleasent to sleep, The staff were excellent, and the breakfast was always on time and well presented, The bathroom was sparse of luxuries, but everything you needed (hot water, fresh towels and bottled water to clean your teeth) were supplied. It is probably 3star in amenities but certainly 5 star in relaxation, quietness and solitude(we were the only occupants of the Riad) and it is close to the local produce markets to obtain enough food for a 50mad dinner to have on the rooftop patio watching the sunset. The 'guard' of the Riad ("Fetta") who has limited english was always on hand and would organise bookings for restaurants, taxis and Driver/guide for day trips to new city/Atlas mountains or where ever you wanted to visit. This was an excellent find for us, we weren't expecting much but we were more than satisfied - only one downside which unless you have soundproof room is the 4.30am call to prayer which would be the case all over Marrakesh.

All in all, a very bad experience. Maybe because, we had stayed in better places in Morocco at half the price. Finding the place is not easy if the Rue el Gza approach (suggested by Google maps) is taken. . Some of the things we faced 1. Pool with no water : Reason - because its cold in December, but should have been specified when we booked. 2. At the room called Orphee, practicality takes a second seat. First, the Orphee room is hardly what you would call bright even post noon. 3. Second, the bathroom and toilets are covered by high curtains which gets irritating by the second day. 4. a rude awakening every morning at 5am thanks to a couple of Roosters.Cant blame the roosters but what about sound-proofing advertised on the web 5. Leaking geyser not fixed and the geyser sits right on top of the wc . Breakfast was ok but half as good as other places in Morocco. All in all, I would give it a wide berth when I go next.
