Riad le Petit Joyau

Stayed for just two nights but wish it had been longer! The Riad was situated in a great location within the Kasbah so was able to retreat from the crowds to relax, but was still within walking distance of many of the popular attractions. The Riad was small but beautiful and all the staff were friendly and could not do enough for you. Ayoub, our host, greeted us from our transfer and took us direct to the Riad, upon where he gave us a map of the local area and recommended places to visit and eat. He was amazing and made our stay perfect. We are already planning our next stay and can’t wait! When you go, look out for the two tortoises on the roof terrace. You can also see the Storks nesting at the nearby Badii Palace.

The friendliest people ever. We were welcomed on arrival with a mint tea and an explanation of the Riad . Achraf is excellent. Friendly, helpful, attentive and is so keen to listen and learn about our country(Uk) along with the cultures etc.He would sit and chat with us and is genuinely a lovely young man. The Riad is clean, comfortable, welcoming.Beds are great, shower hot . In Kasbah area which is near to everything. We would recommend 100%.

7 night stay. We felt at home instantly. Great location next to the Kasbah. Quiet yet very well placed. Hazma and staff were just excellent. Excellent breakfast every morning concierge type service. Peaceful rooftop with nice views and a stork's next next door. I highly recommend Riad Le Petit Joyau!!!

We arrived at the Riad, 10 minutes before the earthquake hit Marrakech, on Friday, September 8. We were still checking in, as the walls started trembling, when Hamza directed us and other guests, to a nearby safe space near the mosque. Whilst we waited to see when it was safe to return, he located bottled water, and answered all our questions. He also happily provided water to many people in the mosque area, who had left their homes. Hamza was a very calming influence, and much later that evening, we returned to our rooms. We visited the Riad a few days later, where we were offered mint tea, and had a friendly chat with the lovely staff. The Riad is operating normally, as is most of Marrakech. The doors are open, and they would love to provide other guests with the same level of service we received, in trying times.

Small boutique hotel in the heart of Kasbah. The staff were welcoming and more than accommodating with our every need, setting us up with activities and recommendations for restaurants, spa, Medina tour, etc. Breakfast on the terrace was lovely.
