We had a wonderful stay at this Riad, Ghita, and all the staff was very helpful and friendly. The breakfast was delicious and the rooms were very clean and cozy. I really recommend it and we will definitely come back here next time.

This riad was simply stunning. Everything was beautiful. It was also very convinetly located close to Jemma el-Fina, so close that you could see the square from the rooftop, and it was easy to get to to drop things off, or take a break while exploring the medina. I was able to drop off my bags early and explore before checking in, which was nice, and it was easy to find a cab in the square when I left early in the morning, at 5:30 am. Additionally it was nice the rooms were a bit spread out, so that you didn't really hear all your neighbors, unlike another riad I stayed at. It was the perfect place to stay.

Very nice traditional like interior, cozy, and super friendly staff. Great athmosphere, Good breakfast. Close to medina.
our room was very small. The bathroom had a hyper modern digital toilet, but the room was to small to sit on it properly.

The plants are beautiful, but sometimes a challenge to squeeze by! Just a little more TLC on the hot tub

Best things about this Riad were the location and the decor. Beautiful rooms with beautiful Moroccan finishings such as brass lamps, gypsum, etc. Nice relaxing dive pool on the bottom floor. Great location 2min walk to Jemaa Fenna.
The room descriptions are not accurate. Rooms do not have private balconies or pools but rather there are shared balconies and two shared pools. Roof pool when we stayed was broken and incredibly dirty. Rooms were nice but EXTREMELY small. We booked two rooms and both were tiny (no space on either side of the bed). The riad has the minimum number of towels, sheets, pillows, etc. meaning that it is impossible to ask for extra or replacements. Breakfast is fine but very basic for Morocco. The kind of breakfast you can find for 3 euros in the Medina.
I had asked for a rollaway bed and crib and was told they would be ready prior to our arrival. When we arrive they were not set up and the room did not have space to fit them.
If you struggle with claustrophobia do not stay here. Small staircases, rooms, etc. Pool is very beautiful but quickly crowded if more than 4 guests attempt to swim at once.

It was very very authentically Moroccan and the staff were lovely and very helpful etc. Lovely local breakfast, and lovely big, very comfortable bed.
It could maybe have been a bit updated, but it wasn't expensive, so very good value for the money I thought. And the location was fantastic.

We had a truly unforgettable stay at Riad Persephone. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with such warmth and kindness—it immediately felt like home. The riad itself is incredibly beautiful, full of charm and serenity, with a spiritual and peaceful energy that makes you feel at ease the moment you step inside.
Every detail is thoughtfully curated, and the ambiance is both authentic and relaxing. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and special. A heartfelt thank you to Amel, whose kindness, attentiveness, and genuine care made our experience even more memorable.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for a soulful and beautiful place to stay in Marrakech. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Disappointing
Great location—colorful and charming with an authentic Riad feel. The staff were cheerful and helpful. I appreciated that my gluten-free breakfast requests were accommodated, and I felt the staff did their best to provide us with freshly cut fruit, etc. The quality varied, but one particular staff member was fantastic—whenever she was around, the variety and quality of the fruit noticeably improved!
The resident cats and large turtle were a delightful surprise—very cute and fun to watch. I also liked the colorful decor and greenery. However, some of the public areas, especially the furniture on the rooftop terrace, could be cleaned more thoroughly for a more comfortable experience.
The room itself was spotlessly clean, including the private terrace directly connected to it.
Based on other reviews prior to booking, I mentally prepared myself not to expect too much. However, the room I rented (Suite with Terrace / Bird of Paradise Room) had far more problems than anticipated—especially considering its premium price.The staff were kind and genuinely tried their best to address the issues, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, most of the problems were not resolved, leaving us with the feeling that we paid too much for a "premium" room that failed to deliver on its promised amenities - so I was a little bit disappointed (and my husband very unimpressed) and our one-week stay felt more chaotic than relaxing.
1. The internet in the room did not work and was never fixed (reported on Day 1). We had to go outside to the terrace or use the downstairs lounge to get online.
2.The advertised bathtub did not work properly and remained unusable despite multiple repair attempts. Maintenance workers came twice, and staff visited several times, which I appreciated—but it added to the overall sense of disruption and stress.
3.The air conditioning functioned but leaked heavily, with water constantly draining into the room (reported on Day 1, never fixed).
4. Several fixtures were loose or broken, including the toilet paper holder (coming off the wall) and the shower head.
There were additional minor issues I won’t list here, but I did inform the staff and strongly recommended they address them before the next guest arrives. However, I have a feeling this may be difficult, possibly due to deeper structural or management issues within the riad.

Beautiful riad, with lovely interior decor and atmosphere; the pool was beautiful and the inner garden had a tortoise and a cat. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
Good views from the rooftop, perfect to enjoy a few glasses of Moroccan tea.
Very conveniently located, just a minute away from the market square and very close within walking distance of other attractions, such as the Bahia Palace or the El Badi Palace, yet in a very quiet area away from all the bustle and noise.
The air conditioning was working, but wasn't really cooling (I'm guessing it was out of refrigerant substance), but at least worked as a fan. It also would have been nice to be able to crack open the bathroom window, for some ventilation.
There was only cold water in the bathroom, which we didn't mind because it was very hot outside so cold showers were pleasant, but it might be useful to know.

It's a lovely place. People are friendly and helpful. The decor is quaint.
The location means at times, it's difficult to access. No taxi or bus is getting within a mile, when the square is busy. Which is every single evening. We had to traverse the market with full luggage for over a mile on arrival as no vehicle can get access.
WiFi only works a small area of the Riad and not in thrme room or roof top.

This in the heart of the Medina. Amazing location the SWEETEST, warmest, kindest staff — each and every one of them! The pool and the rooftop jacuzzi were magnificent. Lovely breakfasts in the morning. Don’t miss out on the hammam and massage — it was absolutely excellent. Can’t think of a better stay! Beautiful rooms, lovely architecture, so colourful and definitely will stay here again!!

The location was fabulous, one minute walk to the main market square. The room was excellent, very comfortable bed and the deco was in keeping with the moroccan theme. The rooftop was the WOW factor of the Riad. The perfect place to have mint tea and watch the sunset. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
Our stay was very enjoyable for the most part. The breakfast was ok, would be nice to have some fruit and less bread or pancakes. The food was plentiful and it was a bit too much for us. We don't like to waste food. We would of prefer if we were given a choice instead the whole selection that was on offer!

Fantastic Riad to stay in Marrakech. Location is great, few steps away from the Jemaa el-Fnaa plaza, the heart of Medina.
Breakfast was delicious and well served. Room was very clear and WiFi connection was fast enough for browsing, video streaming, etc.
The staff was really kind and the jacuzzi and pool is a massive plus.

Disappointing
Amazing view of the sunset from the roof top.
We got a tiny, and what we thought would also be a cosy, room. The main problem, the only ventilation available was a small window facing directly over the main entrance of the riad.There were no windows or extractor in the bathroom, which caused the whole space, including the bedroom, to feel and smell humid. There was some other unpleasant smell that we could not trace, we assume it was the drainage in the shower.
In order to keep some fresh air in the room, we had to sleep with the window open. Therefore, all the noises from the street (not just people walking, but scooters passing by) kept us awake until around 2 am. That's when we decided to just close the window to have a bit less noise and keep up with the smell in the room.
We maybe were just unlucky with our room and other options in the same riad might be better.
For a similar price range, more comfortable options can be found in the Medina though.
