Beware! Do not trust the Riad Haj Hotel. Do not pre-pay
I have had nothing but problems and unfulfilled promises since I stepped in the door. This hotel should be avoided.
My bags were placed in a room rented out to strangers without my knowledge or consent. My room was changed to a smaller / cheaper room (instead of a private bathroom I was offered a SHARED BATHROOM ON A DIFFERENT FLOOR). The hotel would not allow me to cancel my reservation without paying full price.
What I found unbelievable however is that after all that (and even having hotels.com kindly intercede on my behalf without success) This “hotel” had the nerve to ask for one of the two pillows on my bed so they could give it to another guest. Really, I’m not joking, they wanted their extra pillow back.
Again, I have had nothing but problems and unfulfilled promises since I stepped in the door. You really should avoid this hotel for your own sake.
All in all this has been a stressful and disappointing experience. Don’t wind up like me.

Le personnel est très sympathique et de bons conseils ( Fatima-Zahra et Mustafa).
Cependant il y avait des petites bêtes dans le lit (découvertes le jour du départ) et nous sommes revenus couverts de piqures. A priori il s'agit de punaises de lit !! Je ne recommande pas du tout pour la propreté du coup.

A notre arrivée nous n'avons pas eu la chambre que nous avions réservé avec salle de bain privée (seulement pour la première nuit sur 3), elle était déjà occupée...mauvaise organisation... Nous avons été placées dans une autre chambre et avons eu le droit à la salle de bain avec toilettes publique du riad... ce fut très décevant... Le deuxième jour nous avons été placées dans la chambre réservée avec salle de bain privée, bien plus pratique ! Peu d'équipement dans la salle de bain (c'est à vous de tout apporter, sèche-cheveux, gel douche, il n'y a qu'un savon de fourni) et un pommeau de douche non compatible avec la fixation au mur. Sinon très propre. Salon et terrasse très agréables.
Personnel au top, à notre arrivée on nous a offert le thé. Merci à Mohamed qui est adorable et très serviable :D
Je vous recommande de prendre le déjeuner et dîner à l'extérieur car beaucoup moins cher. Le riad propose des excursions mais nous sommes restées les 3 jours à Marrakech.
Riad situé dans la Medina, (quartier authentique du vieux Marrakech) à 15 min à pieds de la place Jamaa Lafna, attention repérez-vous bien parce que nous nous sommes perdues, toutes les rues se ressemblent !
Attention aux arnaques des taxis ! Négociez car ils vont vous proposer 100dh (10euros) pour 2 Km (20 ou 30 dh pas plus) ;)
since the riad was in the medina the taxi dropped us at a point in the city walls where Hamid the riad manager met us and walked us the short distance to the property. Hamid made us very welcome with mint tea and directions through the souks and plenty of information re how to haggle in the stores etc. he was also happy to arrange tours and evening entertainment for us

Oui mais pour 1 nuit ou deux . Si l on souhaite faire une halte pour juste dormir
Merci à Khadija, Mariam et surtout Rachid pour leur accueil, disponibilité et humour. A notre arrivée la chambre dans ce Riad n’etait pas disponible, nous avons été relogés en compensation dans un Riad voisin de grand luxe :-) magnifique! Les 3 nuits suivantes au Riad Haj Thami furent correctes, conformes au pays d’accueil et au prix proposé . Salle de bain un peu petite, mal ventilée, mais nous nous en sommes accommodés. Nous recommendons l’excursion dans la vallée de l’Ourika, proposé et réservé par le Riad à un prix très correct. Riad situé à 15 mn à pied de la place Jama el Fna en passant par des ruelles typiques et non touristiques de la Médina, ce qui fait tout leur charme.
Au plaisir !

NICE RIAD A BIT AWAY FROM THE CITY CONFUSION
This small Riad is situated in the Medina, 15 minutes walking from the main square of the city. It is in the very centre but a bit away from the touristic area, which is a plus :-)
The Riad is small and clean enough, with a nice roof terrace where you can relax and have a tea. Try to book a room with a private bathroom, or else you will have to use the shared one which is on another floor and not very comfortable. We had to use this room for the first two days as there was a problem with our room, but then the owner and receptionist found a solution for us and we could move to the other room.
The room was big enough with a nice closet and bathroom with shower. It was very clean.
Breakfast is served in the living or in the terrace, and it is homemade and delicious with the best orange juice I have ever tried!
Everyone in the Riad is very nice and helpful, starting from the lady of the house, Hadija, and the receptionists Mohammed and another two guys (Sorry, I don't remember the names!) to the housekeeper lady :)
I would recommend this Riad to everyone looking for a peaceful and not too fancy place to stay when in Marrakech.
Booked a twin room with bathroom but were given a double room with no bathroom which isn't what we payed for. I asked for a refund for that day and was told to go to another riad in the night. We swapped rooms the next day, but the staff were awful. The riad was managed by a couple. The husband was okay however the wife was horrible and made our stay uncomfortable and scary. She physically harassed me at one point, violently stroking my thigh in my bed to grab my attention, even when I pulled away. The tax in € needed to be paid and the husband said to pay on the day of check out as I only had dirhams and needed to exchange. The wife constantly begged saying please every time I walked past and did for days. I gave in and paid by card. She charged me extra but wouldn't tell me why. It incurred a charge for me but I could no longer deal with the harrasment. At one point she was demanding it and wouldn't let me out the riad when I told her I would pay when I got back as our taxi was waiting.
The TV in the room was not working as the box was missing. They kept blaming it on the wind, however after constant complaining she suddenly brought the box. Only one remote had working batteries and instead of replacing them she made us swap the batteries every time we needed to use the air conditioning or remote. We couldn't find the riad staff in the morning for breakfast most the time, and when we did it was only 2 pancakes. No one cleaned the room or replaced towels in a whole week.
Der Standort des Hotels ist, wie üblich in Marrakech, schwer zu finden. also ist man angewiesen auf Hilfe.
Diese Hilfe wird auch gern geliefert, allerdings von dubiosen Typen auf der Straße. In meinem Falle hat mich jemand aufdringlich angesprochen, aber ohne mitzuteilen, dass er für die Hilfe Bargeld verlangt. Er mich also zum Standort geführt durch verwinkelte Gassen, natürlich auf Umwegen, und verlangte dann am Ziel 100 Dirham. Eine Unverschämtheit, für 5 Minuten Hilfeleistung. Die Hotelmanagerin fand das wohl total in Ordnung, und hat dem Helfer schließlich 50 Dirham in die Hand gedrückt, aber natürlich von mir zurück verlangt. Dann ging es erstmal unter die Dusche. Hier lief leider das Wasser nicht ab, und das ganze Bad stand ca. 2 Stunden unter Wasser. ZUguterletzt verlangten die Managerin dann noch eine Tax.
Keine Ahnung, was damit gemeint sein soll. Ich musste diesen Betrag dann aber noch zahlen, zuerst wurden 50 Dirham pro Tag verlangt, nach meinen Protesten dann 25 Dirham. Ist nicht viel, trotzdem unverschämt.
Bien situé, personnel sympa. Terrasse agréable pour le petit déj et le thé à la menthe en fin de journée mais le hammam n'était pas en fonction... dommage
Très bon accueil par Mouhamed et Hadijah dans un beau riad situé à 15 min à pied de la place Jamaa El Ena. Vous vous sentez comme chez vous. Propreté des lieux, personnel adorable et à l écoute. Je reviendrai sans hésitation. Je recommande cet hôtel.
I didnt like. They didnt send me the transfer to the airport, I have to call and finally someone arrived to pick me up.
I The accept it and the manager by phone told me to go to another Riad that Hotel.com agreed to change my reservation.
When I arrived the next Riad, they didnt know anything about it.
At the end I found by myself a hotel in front of the Square and stayed overthere my days in Marrakech.
Hope Hotel.com reimburse me.
Wonderful staff nothing is too much trouble, great surroundings and excellent value. Some of the building is showing damp issues but it was winter and had rained a lot. In an authentic part of town so u can experience an area that is not full of tourists but the real people of Marrekesh. They can organise trips for u. A bit tricky to find so better to get them to arrange a taxi to meet u , the driver will take u to the door of the Riad. They don't speak much English , but certainly make up for it with their enthusiasm
El Riad es muy bonito y está todo muy limpio y muy nuevo. Nos recibieron con un té. El personal es muy amable, aunque no saben español y poco inglés, por lo que la comunicación no es muy fácil. Pero hacen todo lo posible por agradarte y entenderte. Estupendo desayuno. La habitación con calefacción/aire acondicionado bastante silencioso. La terraza es preciosa también. Lo peor la ubicación, está a unos 15 minutos de la plaza Jma el fna, y la primera vez nos perdimos. Todas las calles parecen iguales!!
la veille de mon départ soit le samedi 16 décembre à 22h15 je reçois ce mail du responsable du riad: bonsoir nous avons des problèmes techniques dans nos chambre nous ne pouvons pas vous héberger .
second mail devant ma surprise a 8h de mon depart ...Jai appelé expedia ils vont trouver une alternative peut être riad sidi ayoub
le lendemain d alternative à l aeroport de marrakech aucune ...
et en plus le gerant du riad pour ne pas me rembourser et c'est ca le pompom a dit :
Nous revenons vers vous suite à votre demande de remboursement de
votre réservation d'hôtel Expedia au riad haj thami
Suite à votre requête, nous regrettons de vous informer que l'hôtel
refuse le remboursement pour votre réservation. Ce dernier nous
informe que l'hôtel est ouvert mais que ne vous êtes pas présentés.
Nous sommes désolés mais nous sommes dans l'obligation de respecter la
décision de l'hôtel et ne pouvons donner une suite favorable à votre
demande.
depuis expedia a fait des recherches prouvant ma bonne foi et j'attends le remboursement !!!quelle mauvaise fois ce gerant que j'ai appelle a plusieurs reprises a marrakech et qui était toujours aux abonnes absent ..pas là le patron ....pas là!!!!
El personal fue muy amable y servicial. Nos ayudaron a encontrar un lugar donde aparcar el coche. El riad, está ubicado a unos 20 minutos de la plaza principal andando. Son callejuelas, por lo que no se aconseja entrar con coche, así como llegar de noche. Sólo hablan francés.
Avec ma femme, nous sommes restés 10 jours, nous voulions une chambre avec un lit double et les propriétaires ont tout fait pour nous satisfaire. Ils ont été à l’écoute pendant tout notre séjour, ils étaient présents pour toutes nos questions (chemin, taxi, prix ..etc) et surtout ils se souciaient constamment de notre sécurité ainsi que notre bien-être.
Nous avons été agréablement surpris par Mohammed, un membre du personnel qui a embelli notre séjour, il s’est occupé de nous du début à la fin et nous a bien régalé avec ses plats.
Nous avons bien rigolé avec Khadija, la femme de maison, toujours souriante et au petit soin des clients du Riad.
Nous remercions tout le monde et espérons revenir un jour.
Ps: les propriétaires possèdent 2 chats qui rendent encore plus vivant ce riad chaleureux, nous avons apprécier jouer avec eux le soir sur la terrasse.

Not a great experience
This place isn't in a nice area, our taxi driver dropped us 15 minutes away and said we had to walk the rest of the way, it was a complete maze and not another tourist around so we were hounded by Moroccan men! When we finally arrived the hostel was pretty clean and the people were nice but they didn't speak much English, but there was an weird vibe. we felt we had to walk on egg shells and whisper and although it said it was fully booked there was no one there. We decided to move to a different hotel the next day because we didn't feel safe at all.
Un Riad bien situé dans la médina permettant une visite approfondie des lieux a visiter dans Marrakech. A la descente de l'avion on se demande un peu ou on arrive...mais après quelques balades dans les petites rues de la médina, on se rend vite compte de la facilité a se déplacer a partir du Riad. En 8 jours de visite de Marrakech, nous n'avons jamais utilisé de taxi.
La gentillesse et la disponibilité des nouveaux maitres des lieux est exceptionnelle. Abdul est au petit soin avec ses clients et Khadija nous a régalé de ses bons petits plats familiaux. Ils sont exceptionnellement gentils et disponibles.
Le Riad est très propre et les chambres sont bien climatisées. Le Riad dispose d'une terrasse avec un hammam.
Avant votre arrivée pensez a demander aux propriétaires de vous prévoir un taxi pour vous accompagner jusqu'au Riad afin de payer le bon prix et d'éviter de se faire truander, car il n'y a pas que des taxis honnêtes a Marrakech.....
En résumé nous recommandons chaleureusement ce Riad.
