My sister and I stayed in Riad Mur Akush for 3 nights this past January. We loved it! We stayed in the Grand Suite Amel on the top floor and used the airport pick up service. We were picked up right on time and everything went smoothly. We were greeted with mint tea and pastries and from then on, the trip only got better. Everyone at the riad was gracious and accommodating. They booked a lovely tour guide for us and we enjoyed both breakfast and dinner at the riad. Our suite was spacious and beautiful. The beds were comfortable and I loved the shower! There were small issues with the wifi, being on the top floor, but they worked diligently to fix it. We loved the rooftop terrace as well - we relaxed in the hanging chairs (very comfy!) and ate breakfast there until the bees took over, lol. All in all, I greatly enjoyed my time at the riad and I would definitely stay there again when visiting Marrakech.

12 of us shared this riad to celebrate my 50th Birthday, It could not have been better! Maria was so helpfull answering all queries quickly and efficiently, The Building was just as pictured, full of character, we loved exploring each others rooms on arrival as they were all different but gorgeous! The roof terrace great for sundowner cocktails,looking out over the rooftops of Marrakech, we had hot sunny weather in January so made good use of the sunloungers and hanging chairs! The breakfasts and lunch we ate there was efficiently set up for us on a long table,which was very sociable, and the staff were discreet but attentive when needed. including letting us in at 2 am on sunday morning after clubbing with no complaint! (I might be middle aged now, but still know how to enjoy myself!) The location was also perfect, as we were able to walk everywhere or get a reasonably priced Taxi.
The icing on the cake was that although we were not leaving until 5.30 on the Sunday we were able to leave our things in our rooms up until then, such a bonus, we were very greatfull not to be Homeless until we left for the airport!
I thought it was extremely good Value for money, and would definitely reccomend, and probably stay there again! Dolly

After reading the reviews on tripadvisor and seeing the pictures on the website I was very excited about our stay at the Mur Akush. I want to say that it was amazing, I want to say that I loved it; but I can't. There wasn't one big thing wrong with it, but I found it rather underwhelming and there were lots of little 'niggly' things that let it down.

Our room (Salaam) was lovely, but needs a bit of TLC. The blanket had huge catches in it, the safe wasn't actually attached to anything, making it unusable and it felt really basic and a little 'grubby' The bed was very comfy though and the air con was impressive.

The noise travels terribly from the courtyard, which seemed to be where most people chose to eat breakfast, meaning that we could hear every conversation from our room on the first floor.

Breakfast itself was a great mix of meat, cheese, fresh bread, pastries, yoghurt and coffee and we alternated between having it in our room and up on the roof terrace. But the crockery was no longer at it's best, there were chips and cracks on most pieces and it needs replacing.

The roof terrace was lovely, but again the cushions were all stained and grubby.

I think two years ago, the Riad Mur Akush would have been very impressive indeed, but I don't think it has had much love recently and it is starting to show. Some TLC and attention to detail would make a huge improvement.

There are 100s of riads to choose from...but look no further! The staff are incredibly helpful and friendly, but they'll also leave you in peace if you wish. The food is delicious and you can eat your breakfast wherever you like. The rooms are spacious, tidy, and well decorated. The rooftop is peaceful and comfortable.

The riad is located about 10 minutes walk from the main square in Marrakech. Although is very close by to the souks, it is not inside of them. This is a huge advantage as the last thing you really want after a long day is getting lost down a dark alley trying to find your way back!

If you're fortunate enough to visit on New Year's Eve, you'll be pleased with the party they put on as well!
