#8 of 9 hotels in Jemaa el-Fna & Riad Zitoun by Axel's take. Jemaa el-Fna & Riad Zitoun is #1 of 8 places to stay in Marrakech. The best hotels in Jemaa el-Fna & Riad Zitoun, ranked · Where to stay in Marrakech

Axel's take: 7.6/10

A friendly medina base, provided you can sleep through the rooftop music. a simple 3-star riad with a lively rooftop restaurant near Jemaa el-Fnaa, scored for what it is.

El Kennaria is a simple 3-star courtyard riad a few minutes’ walk from Jemaa el-Fnaa, and a good pick for travelers who prioritize location and friendly service over polished rooms. Booking.com and Expedia guests repeatedly praise the helpful staff, while recent Tripadvisor reviews also highlight generous breakfasts and daily cleaning. The rooftop restaurant adds atmosphere and an easy place to eat after exploring the souks.

The catch is sleep: guests across Tripadvisor and Expedia describe rooftop music carrying into bedrooms, alongside street noise. Rooms and bathrooms can be small, and air-conditioning availability is inconsistent in guest reports, so confirm your exact room’s cooling and whether its bathroom is private. Cleanliness feedback is mostly positive, though some recent guests report odors or maintenance problems. We'd choose it for a lively, reasonably priced sightseeing base, not a quiet retreat or a reliably comfortable room-first stay.

  • Best for: budget-conscious medina explorers; travelers who enjoy rooftop entertainment; short sightseeing stays

  • Watch out for: rooftop music and street noise; confirm air conditioning and private bathroom; limited vehicle access with luggage

  • Location: Minutes from Jemaa el-Fnaa and the souks; expect some walking from your taxi.

  • Rooms: Simple and variable in size and condition; cooling and bathroom arrangements need checking.

  • Cleanliness: Generally praised across booking sites, with some recent odor and upkeep complaints.

  • Service: Helpful, welcoming staff are a consistent strength, including transfers and early takeaway breakfasts.

  • Amenities: Courtyard, rooftop restaurant, breakfast and Wi-Fi; the restaurant's official site lists closing at 11 p.m.

  • Fees and surprises: City tax and airport transfers cost extra; renovation disruption was reported in 2025, but its current status is unconfirmed.
