GUELIZ, majorelle, Beautiful apartment with large terrace Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to GUELIZ, majorelle, Beautiful apartment with large terrace, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect from the name alone — but sometimes the best places have the most unconventional titles. This apartment sits right in the heart of Gueliz, Marrakech‘s modern district, and you immediately get that feeling of being somewhere locals actually live and work. The building itself blends into the neighborhood perfectly, which I actually prefer to those flashy hotel facades that scream “tourist.” What struck me first was how quiet the street felt despite being so centrally located — Rue Khalid Ben El Oualid has this nice residential vibe that makes you feel like you’re getting an authentic slice of Marrakech life.

Location & Neighborhood

The Gueliz area is honestly one of my favorite parts of Marrakech, and this place sits right where you want to be. You’re walking distance from Avenue Mohammed V with all its cafes and shops, but far enough from the tourist crowds that you can actually breathe. From here, you can easily hop in a taxi to Jardin Majorelle or walk to some excellent local restaurants that most visitors never discover. The free private parking is a genuine lifesaver if you’re planning day trips — finding parking in Marrakech can be quite challenging.

The Apartment & That Terrace

The space itself feels more like staying at a friend’s place than a typical rental, which couples seem to absolutely love. The apartment has this lived-in comfort that makes you want to actually spend time there rather than just crash between sightseeing. But honestly, the real star is that large terrace they mention in the name — and they’re not exaggerating about the size. You’ve got proper space to spread out, have morning coffee, or just decompress after navigating Marrakech’s beautiful chaos. The terrace catches nice light throughout the day, and in the evenings, you get these lovely views over the neighborhood rooftops.

Practical Comforts

What I appreciate most is how the place handles the little things that can make or break a stay. The apartment comes equipped like someone actually thought about what travelers need — not just the basics, but the stuff that makes you comfortable enough to settle in for a few days. The kitchen setup is solid if you want to grab ingredients from the local markets and try your hand at cooking, though with Gueliz’s restaurant scene right outside, you might not use it much. The whole place feels clean and well-maintained, and you get the sense that the owners actually care about the guest experience.

Why Guests Love It

That 8.9 rating makes perfect sense once you’ve spent time here — it’s the kind of place that exceeds expectations without trying too hard. Couples particularly seem drawn to the combination of privacy and location. You’re close enough to everything that matters but tucked away enough to feel like you have your own little corner of the city. Guests consistently realize they’ve landed somewhere that gives them the best of both worlds: authentic Marrakech living with easy access to all the experiences that brought them here.

Reviews of GUELIZ, majorelle, Beautiful apartment with large terrace

• Udany pobyt w świetnym miejscu 🙂 – Marzena from Poland – 3 June 2025 (10/10)

  Blisko centrum, a mimo wszystko spokojna i cicha i bezpieczna okolica.
  Wygodny parking podziemny.
  Bardzo dobry kontakt z gospodarzem. Polecam 🙂

• Выходные в Марракеше – Yury from Russia – 15 May 2025 (9/10)

  Очень быстро и просто заселились, сложновато было найти само место. Есть подземная парковка, пешком до парка Мажорель 10 минут, вокруг много кафе открытых на завтрак. квартира просторная, чистая, все, что требуется для жизни есть. В хорошую погоду вид на горы.
  
  What could be improved: Возможно кого-то будет смущать вид на кладбище. Пешком до центра медины примерно 30-35 минут.

• Exceptional – Jalil from Morocco – 5 May 2025 (10/10)

  Propreté
  
  What could be improved: Ras

• Very good – Marko from Slovenia – 4 May 2025 (8/10)

  A spacious and secure apartment featuring underground garage parking, ideally located near the medina in a peaceful and quiet neighborhood.
  
  What could be improved: The terrace was not very pleasant due to an odor, which also affected the bathroom, likely due to the drains. Thankfully, we were able to improve the situation with some ventilation. The kitchen, while functional, was somewhat under-equipped, particularly lacking appropriate pots for cooking.

• Perfecto para hacer turismo en famlia – Rafael from Spain – 23 April 2025 (9/10)

  Apartamento magnífico, amplio, moderno, bien situado. En una zona muy animada, segura y con todo tipo de servicios y establecimientos. El apartamento es silencioso porque tiene cierres dobles en balcones y ventanas, por lo que no entra el ruido de la calle. Perfecto para descansar. Cómodo para desayunar o comer en cafés cercanos y para ir al centro en taxi por 30 – 50 DH. Es perfecto para hacer turismo porque puedes llegar en coche hasta la puerta, no como la mayoría de alojamientos en la Medina
  La atención fue exquisita y muy flexible con los horarios de llegada y salida, por lo que estamos muy agradecidos.

• genialny apartament w sercu Marakeszu – Lech from Poland – 9 January 2025 (10/10)

  To najładniejszy apartamentem podczas naszej 10 dniowej podróży po Maroko (praktycznie codziennie byliśmy gdzie indziej). Dogodna lokalizacja, parkingi podziemny w cenie, super czysto, wyposażony we wszystko co potrzebne, genialny taras (niestety było zimno, więc go nie używaliśmy). BARDZO POLECAM
  
  What could be improved: jedyny mały problem to fakt, że obsługa nie mówi po angielsku, ale to udało się rozwiązać przez google translator.

  Last day care taker came at 4.30 am and kept knocking the apartment. He said you have got flight. I said flight cancelled. He went absolutely funny shouting and screaming. Had to leave the apartment atv5qm.

• Apartment was very good, recommended for family or group of friends for long stay. – Samson from United Kingdom – 27 May 2023 (8/10)

  The property was clean and tidy, staff was very helpful.
  It was well maintained all facilities included, it was very close to the city centre.
  
  What could be improved: The Wi-Fi was very bad, it was running without internet connection mostly. The security who was taking care of the building was quite rude, he locks the outside door with his own key some nights which makes us wait for long time.
