Riad Le J, Marrakech

67 Derb El Hammam, Marrakech 40000, Morocco (show on map)

Expert reviews

Lonely Planet review:

“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.”

Telegraph review:

“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.”

We highly recommend this riad in the Marrakesh 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,

Amazing old Riad in the middle of the Medina

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.

Delightful stay with a superb staff!

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!

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

Lovely! Highly recommended.

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.

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.

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
