Riad Le J, Marrakech

The staff were very helpful and the breakfasts were very good.

We had plenty of hot water but setting the temperature so that you didn’t burn yourself was next to impossible. It was running too hot then too cold then too hot, frustrating ! We were also without internet for four days apparently the fault of Maroc Internet .

Nice design internally.

The staff were disengaged and not very friendly, so unlike other places in Morocco we did not feel welcome. The exception to this was Ibrahim who was great. The location is at the end of a dirty alley where there is a lot of building work. We had to step through wet cement many times when coming and going. We would not stay here again.

We were disappointed in this stay. The room and especially the bathroom have seen better days. While it was not bad by any measure, for the price of 120.00 euro per night we expected a bit more comfort, upkeep and cleanliness. Also, the location in the maze of streets with construction and rubble right next door detract from the experience.

We were disappointed in this riad. We based our stay on the recommendations written in The Telegraph travel section, but the review there must have been several decades old. While the place does have a nice Art Deco design in the common area, a lot of the furnishing in the rooms has become considerably shabby over time, the bathroom fixtures were broken, broken hook for towels, overall feeling of mustiness and old dirt in the shower and the room as well. The breakfast was fine but nothing amazing - a boiled egg, jar of yogurt, butter, jams, laughing cow cheese and several types of bread. While the evening attendant person was decidedly nice, the ladies during the day did not seem very eager to please the guests and we had rather a feeling of being a bother to them. Plus it was really hard to find this place in the maze of narrow streets, with some houses in rubble just next to the building. As no car or taxi can get here, we initially spent a long time looking for the riad, lugging around our heavy luggage. For all these reasons, we obviously cannot recommend this accommodation.

Peaceful location in the heart of the medina

I needed to check out a day early so explained to staff that I would be out in the morning return to rest in the afternoon and then check but had already paid for the night ahead too, which I understood couldn’t be changed - but my bed was stripped and not re-made and towels removed in the morning so I couldn’t freshen up or rest. Disappointing end to the trip.

My stay at Riad Le J from June 8th to June 11th was decent. The location was convenient and the room was clean.

Breakfast was basic and could do with more variety. The staff could also be a little more friendly.

The riad had a porter to take our luggage and show us the way into the medina to find the riad. The riad arranged for a porter to take our luggage back to the original spot of our driver at the end of our stay. One of the managers took us on the route to the main square. The location of the riad was almost the center of the medina and equal distance from important sites.

GPS outside of the riad was difficult and each of our services did not always help to find our way around. it was easy to get lost.

Looks amazing, the sweet breakfast is very good and filling (handmade yoghurt was a highlight). The staff is fantastic and was extremely helpful, especially given my very early morning departure.

Nothing

Very friendly and helpful hosts, great location for the medina

We loved this place! A superb riad, with fantastic hospitality!! Very clean and comfortable rooms. Very quiet location, only a seven minute walk to the Jemaa el-Fna square. Excellent breakfast, including delicious homemade yogurt each morning. Antonio was very helpful with restaurant tips prior to our arrival. Upon our arrival, Hicham and Ibrahim went out of their way to make our stay exceptional. They were always available to help with our bookings, to answer our questions, and to help us celebrate our special occasion while staying,

I am very pleased. Very good staff and very clean. Perfect location! Thank u very much Riad Le J! 🤩

The Staff was very friendly and helpful and the riad has a Great rooftop where you can have an overview of the Medina - exceptional. The breakfast was also very nice, where the staff provided us with more local fruits and vegetables.

The hotel is located in the very middle of the Medina, where it is a difficult to find it. We arrived in the night and we were frightened to walk through the empty Medina by night. I recommend to get a guide to find it since Google maps do not work properly to find it. Besides that the bathroom is rather old and provide water for the shower usually less than needed. We adapted very quickly to it but we did not expect to have shower difficulties for that price.

Kindness of the host, amazing breakfast, location is perfect, room are clean.

Lovely room, lovely staff. Central location.

Nothing

Great place, great location, really authentic, and amazing staff - Ibrahim was an absolute star

Nothing really - Arrival instructions could maybe be a bit clearer

All the staff was exceptionally friendly, kind, and helpful, to the point of leaving the riad to show us the way to go. The breakfast was delicious and very abundant, it held us through to the evening meal. The room was lovely, very clean, and quiet. A beautiful experience.

My only negative comment is the sunken tub/shower...if I had better eyesight and equilibrium it would be very romantic lol!

Staff were always helpful. The breakfast was great with a big selection. Great location, away from business of main square but only a 5 min walk away from everything.

Beautifully decorated, very clean. Great location in a wonderful part of the medina— Riad itself is very quiet but very close to lots of great shops and restaurants

Riad was a little hard to find when we arrived — but then we got used to the location and grateful it’s in a calm area of the medina

The riad was pretty special, lovely decoration and atmosphere. we had the Canelle room on the very top, and it was very spacious, quiet and private. Antonio and his staff are super helpful and friendly; special thanks to Ibrahim who gave us directions many times to find our way around the maze inside the Medina. Make sure that you ask for directions to naigate the allies within the walls, this riad (as many others) is right in the middle of the walled area next to the souks, and it is very easy to get lost if you don't ask for help. Google maps dos not recognise the inside allies, so ask for directions.

location, accommodation, personnel

The riad is beautiful, with comfortable and clean rooms, and we got clean towels every day. Antonio and the staff are very kind and helpfull. Quiet location near everything. Thanks for a great stay!

Individual and boutique- tucked away from the crowds. breakfast was delicious and staff were helpful.

the arias is beautiful and very clean, has an amazing terrace where you can see great sunsets. all the staff was very kind and always great to help. we ate at the Riad 1 night and so far was the best dinner we had!

nothing

Very well furnished and comfortable Riad. Hicham and the other staff members were extremely friendly and welcoming. Nice views from the rooftop patio areas. Great breakfast. Will return when back in Marrakech.

Nothing.

the decorations style, breakfast, the terrace

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

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.

Great decor, location, staff and atmosphere

Ceiling in our bedroom was crumbling a bit!

the property is beautifully decorated and the staff were incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to help us, especially Ibrahim- thank you. the mint tea we were served was fantastic.

although it’s very close to the big square and the buzz of the medina. it was very hard to find- but this is the case with most riads in the medina . the property is smaller than expected. the breakfast could do with improvements.

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.

Very nice comfortable riad.

Wonderfull riad with a beautiful story of its own. Both the owner and staff are tremendously sweet.

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.

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!

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

The staff was amazing and very helpful

The bed wasn't so comfortable.. but the room was very nice

stunning riad with interior that has been very carefully curated - the owner Antonia was warm and welcoming alongside all the staff. great location. would highly recommend

nothing - great place

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.

Beautiful place, good location, excellent service

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.

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

Stylish Riad in great location. Comfortable with lovely bedrooms and roof terrace.

beautiful place to stay..a kind of oasis in the mids of the souk..very quiet ..the rooms are sunny ..filled with light and decorated with great taste by the owner ..It was so lovely to sit on the roof top in the evening ..Ibrahim is the good soul of the house ..very helpful. We enjoyed our 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!

location, interiors, cleanliness and breakfast

Amazing small and private Riad, very close to el fna square with great stuff that make you feel like home since the beginning and help you getting to know Marrakech giving you a lot of tips!

Nothing

Lovely breakfast spread, friendly and informative staff, beautiful riad in a great location. Super clean and cute little terrace to spend evenings. We loved our stay here

The route to the riad is quite confusing and not possible to follow using Google maps however once you get to know where the riad is located, it’s fairly easy to follow (as long as you remember !)

beautiful refurbishment of Riad. From Antonio coming to meet us hapless 2, lost & without umbrellas to Ibrahim who did everything to help us get organised.

it was exactly like in the pictures and the very hearth of the medina. stuff was friendly and very helpfull. definitely recommend.
