Expert reviews
“What do you get if you cross Italian furniture designers with Marrakshi craftsmanship? An achingly cool hideaway where art deco Mamounia mirrors meet silk kaftans hung as art, and zouak (painted wood) ceilings merge with retro lamps.”
“If you’re looking for great bang for your buck, Riad Le J delivers on all fronts. Tucked down a winding derb behind the Mouassine mosque, it has a great location, and offers super stylish Art Deco design and a wonderful personal atmosphere at an incredibly good price.”

Great riad
Fantastic location Beautiful Riad Comfortable rooms Amazing roof terrace We had dinner and it was amazing
Breakfast was limited Vs. Other riads we stayed in but was still absolutely fine. Would be good to have the bedroom doors close/lock more easily as it was loud trying to close them

Great place to stay
We had the room on the top floor. It was large, airy, light and spacious (larger than the photos suggest). The staff were very friendly and helpful - nothing was too much trouble. Antonio, the owner, helped us with great information about local restaurants and things to visit. He also organised all our transfers (we went to Essaouira for a few days). Riad Le J is in a great location, very quiet but right in the centre of the Medina. We loved it.

Ceiling in our bedroom was crumbling a bit!

Fabulous
A lovely contemporary Riad with clean, spacious rooms. The roof terrace is great for relaxing at sunset. Staff were great, Ibrahim in particular was very helpful. Nice breakfast though limited ‘savoury’ options. Location is right in the heart of the medina which has its benefits and drawbacks - see below.
We weren’t given very clear instructions for finding the place (hint it’s very easy to find once you reach Fontaine Mouassine but we weren’t told this). Also can be a pain getting stuck behind all the crowds in the souks.

An excellent place to stay in Marrakech!
Friendly and and helpful staff. Good selection of breakfast items. Very peaceful, a welcome a reprieve from the bustle of Marrakech!
We didn't take advantage of the transfer service that was offered so the Riad was a little difficult to find at first, but great location once you've got your bearings.

Stunning Riad in the heart of the Medina
We absolutely loved our stay. The Riad is right in the heart of the Medina but tucked away from the hustle and bustle. When you arrive in Marrakech, you will only be driven to the walls of the Medina since cars are not allowed inside. I recommend paying someone to walk you to the Riad b/c it will be a maze and quite overwhelming otherwise. Your taxi driver should be able to help you do this. The Riad itself was absolutely stunning. The rooms felt luxurious and were tastefully decorated in an Art Deco style which I loved! I found the beds to be super comfortable and I slept really well (though I will say the Moroccans like a hard bed. My personal preference but maybe not for everyone). The shower was amazing. Breakfast was really good - especially the coffee! I couldn't get enough of it. It was excellent even by London standards (as one would expect from an Italian owner). Antonio was super helpful from the start. He helped us arranged a transfer from the Atlas Mountains and then gave a brief tour of the immediate area on our arrival (it is easy to get lost in the Medina). The staff organised a tour of the city with an excellent guide. All-in-all, it a wonderful stay!

Nice location. Decent room. Great bathroom! Breakfast is weak for vegetarians.
The location is very good. Right in the heart of the Medina but just enough away from the hustle bustle to have a very peaceful night's sleep. Very nice terrace though we didn't have much time to sit around and use it
The breakfast spread was minimal for vegetarians. And even amongst the same, the ladies providing the breakfast didn't serve some of the items on the second day... We decided to eat out the next morning. Not great for vegetarians

Perfect location and hospitality
Nice welcome with tea, map and explanation on main points of interest. Reception 24/24. Brahim was always very kind and available in giving information. The riad is small but cozy and has a nice rooftop. Location was great!! Everything is clean. We stayed in 2 rooms : Menthe room and the cannelle room (much better).
The Menthe room- for the bed (half bed was hard and the other half soft and leaned on a side). Loud air conditioning noise at night.

Great little place - a boutique hotel just consisting of 4 rooms. Outstanding location in the center of the medina (Moussaine district). For most guests not that easy to find but once you managed to find it not too difficult to nagivate around. Very tastefully decorated common space and rooms with antique furniture and arts. Very spacious and comfortable rooms. Nice rooftop. Very friendly and helpful employees, especially Ibrahim from the night shift. Great breakfast. Clear "go". I really enjoyed my stay here and will certainly come again.

Beautiful hotel, can’t wait to come back
An absolutely stunning hotel! The decor was beautiful, giving it a lovely relaxed atmosphere perfect after a hot day spent going round Marrakech. The rooftop was lovely, but what makes this place is the wonderful Ibrahim who could t do enough to be helpful. He gave us tips for what to do / what to avoid, made sure we didn’t get lost and even allowed us late/early breakfasts to fit in with some pre arranged trips. I have already sent the link to friends and family back home

A great 3 night stay!
A great 3 night stay! The hospitality was really great, from the minute we arrived to the minute we left the hotel we were very well taken care of. I have to highlight one of the staff members in particular, Ibrahim, who was extremely patient, helpful and went above and beyond to meet our needs, requests and questions. A great central location once you get your bearings. We arranged to be picked up from the airport which I would recommend especially if arriving late in the evening. Breakfast was simple but plentiful and filling - top marks for the coffee! The room was spacious and very comfortable. The hotel also helped arrange a tour guide who took us on a magical tour of the old town. Definitely a highlight of the trip!
