Riad Vanilla Sma

“We had a really lovely stay in this Riad. The staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful, the room - and especially the bed - was comfortable, the food was excellent and the location is just perfect! We enjoyed a lovely relaxing Hamman experience at the end of our stay. I was given a lovely cake for my birthday and made to feel very special! We had to stay an additional night due to our Ryanair flight being cancelled (due to Coronovirus) and we were treated like family, and made to feel so welcome. Thank you, Nellie and all your staff for an unforgettable few days.”

“I had a reservation for March 14 and 15. The reservation was not cancelable after Feb 28, 2020. As travel restrictions were put in place on March 12th by the President of the US, I requested a refund or ability to use the payment for a future date. I subsequently received an email from Nelly that I booked "with conditions and that they should be respected and that he was human, educated with a heart and respect his guests and try my best to help." He offered to extend the agreement to Oct 1, 2020 and charged the card. I doubt it will be possible to travel at that time and hoped he would extend it longer as the whole world is being affected indefinitely.”

“The Riad Vanilla Sma is tranquil retreat in the heart of the Medina (walled old city). The owner, Nelly, has created a beautiful, relaxed haven for her guests with obvious attention to detail. The small team of staff were exceptionally helpful and professional. With special thanks to Abdel who greeted us everyday with fresh mint tea and a warm personality, he made our stay memorable, this was a home from home. I visited with my daughter, Holly, in March 2020 and would love to return soon. Thank you xx”

“The staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly. The prepared breakfast was amazing, and the facilities were beautiful!”

“Everywhere was very clean and facilities were modern (bathroom etc.). The location of the Riad was perfect and it was easy to get our bearings. All the staff were so lovely, kind and helpful, serving tea and helping us with brilliant restaurant recommendations and the best way to get from one place to the next safely. We ate lunch there on the roof terrace on the day of our arrival which was a delicious traditional tagine and breakfast everyday was lovely. Such good value for such a lovely place. Thank you to everyone at Riad Vanilla Sma who made our stay in Marrakech so special :)”
