Riad Nirvana

It is a beautiful Riad with lovely decor and friendly staff. The owner greeted us at our transport as the building is not accessible by car and guided us to the accomodations. They had offered us lunch upon arrival which was delicious. We used Google translate to communicate as our first language is English and the owners were French. This worked well enough. The beds were comfortable and they arranged transport for us to the airport the next morning as we had an early flight.

Our check out process was very disorganized. We knew we needed to pay still so I asked the night staff about it. It ended up being a 20 minute ordeal where we tried to Google translate everything while he was on the phone with the owner trying to get the bill. We thought we had enough Dirham but they had charged us 50 euros for lunch which was our most expensive meal of 2.5 weeks in Morocco. Since I hadn't asked about price, I was happy to pay for it but needed to use card which added another 10 minutes. We were getting nervous at this point about being late to the airport. Overall, a good stay, it just seems like they are working out some kinks of possible new ownership. I'd recommend accepting payment on the booking forums as this would streamline the whole process.

Incroyable, le Riad est magnifique, l’accueil est génial, merci à Christelle et Vincent pour ces deux belles journées. Le petit déjeuner est exceptionnel, et la vue de la terrasse est magnifique, et bientôt la piscine 🥰

Beautiful riad, generous sized bedroom and bathroom with double sink basins and large walk-in shower. Exceptional breakfast in a lovely courtyard, superb level of service. The owners Christelle and Vincent go out of their way to make the stay comfortable and enjoyable. Located in the slightly quieter Kasbah area of central Marrakech (compared to the hectic medina/souks). It’s still only 5-10 minutes walk to the full on ‘hustle and bustle’ but it’s also a nice quiet retreat when you’re tired of all the crowds!

Nothing really, I wish I’d had more than 1 night stay!

Struttura tipica, molto accogliente, pulita. Zona tranquilla, posizione comoda per visitare. Personale molto gentile e disponibile.

Amazing team all round, super warm and friendly. Very well thought out touches throughout the Riad, would highly recommend it- if you’re ok with being away from the hustle & bustle, happy to experience a more communal environment and can appreciate the extra human touch. It’s a pity in my 3 nights there I was only able to spend ~12 hours in the Riad with most of that time in slumber. The hosts are also very helpful with recommendations and arrangements for you with good tips.

Booked about 5 hours prior to my arrival and got a confirmation of my booking but host weren’t aware of my arrival and therefore had a slightly rocky start to my stay. More a system error than anything to do with the hosts but unfortunately the main phone line also did not connect me to the supposed 24/7 concierge/ security so would advise others to book earlier to avoid issues. Riad arranged a car to the airport for €15 but it was a rather run down and dirty taxi and didn’t appreciate that. Otherwise an impeccable stay. Would caution that the hosts are French speaking so some things can get lost in translation but be assured that they go all out for the comfort of their guests, maybe except for the short ride to the airport.

The Riad is in a great location at the edge of the Medina. This makes it easy to get to and gives great access to all the central Marrakech sites. Moreover, the owners are amazing hosts and are there to answer any and all questions. You really do feel like you’re staying at a friend’s place because of how welcoming they are. They even walked me to my taxi at 3am to ensure I got a good rate when I had to leave for the airport! I could not recommend this stay more.

All was great.

Le Riad Nirvana: Cinq étoiles amplement méritées!! Expérience inoubliable dans ce magnifique Riad très bien situé dans le quartier de la Kasbah de Marrakech. Nous avons étés accueillis avec le sourire, la gentillesse et le thé accompagné de petites patisseries locales. On se sent tout de suite à la maison et à l'aise. L'ambiance est très reposante, nous nous sommes très rapidemment sentis comme chez des amis. Christelle et Vincent sont absolument charmants et friands de partages et d'échanges, et nous ont fait le grand plaisir de dîner avec nous au Riad. Quant aux plats cuisinés par Karima et servis si gentiment par son mari Azziz: un régal! Le petit-déjeuner est très complet et généreux, et vous permettra de goûter aux fromages et autres délices préparés par Karima. Les chambres sont très belles et propres, décorées avec beaucoup de goût et entretenues parfaitement par la gentille équipe de ménage. Les salles de bains sont vraiment belles et impeccablement propres, avec double vasque, douche à l'italienne, sèche-cheveux, savon et shampoing. Chaque membre de cette belle équipe tient à tout mettre en oeuvre pour le confort et le bien-être des clients, Christelle se charge personnellement de trouver les bons plans et bonnes adresses afin que le séjour se passe au mieux. Personnellement j'espère avoir la chance de revenir très vite. De tout coeur merci à toute l'équipe de ce beau riad pour son accueil et sa générosité, vous avez fait de ce (trop court) séjour une expérience qui fait très chaud au coeur et restera dans nos mémoires.

Rien à redire, tout était au top

Excellent location, close to, but not in the busiest parts of the Medina. Most attractions were within easy walking distance. The staff were warm and friendly. The bed was comfortable and breakfast and dinners were very good. We were able to have laundry washed and returned to us in 24 hours. We felt quite safe with doors locked at night and a night watchman.

Some plumbing issues that were quickly resolved.

Un joli havre de paix dans la Médina. Près de tout et loin du bruit ! A deux pas des tombeaux Saadiens, le riad est à proximité de nombreux sites à visiter et de la fameuse place Jemaa El Fna. Tout se fait à pied, c'est un vrai plaisir. Tout près des lieux de prise en charge pour les excursions également. Le riad en lui même est magnifique et apaisant, Vincent et Christelle font tout pour que vous vous sentiez bien. Les chambres sont décorées avec goût, le confort du petit salon et la configuration des lieux font que vous vous sentez privilégiés. Le rooftop est un plus, extraordinaire pour les soirées ou les retours au calme avec une piscine chauffée ! Les petits déjeuners sont gargantuesques, préparés avec soin par Karima et très complets. S'il manque quelque chose, il suffit de le demander ! Le tout servi avec le sourire. Nous avons également diné au Riad, un vrai bonheur (en prime sur le rooftop avec une température avoisinnant les 27-30 degrés) . Une prise en charge dès l'aéroport, le taxi était déjà réservé par nos hôtes, Aziz est vienu nous chercher à la descente de notre taxi, pour nous accompagner au Riad, toujours avec le sourire . Vincent et Christelle s'occupent de vous réserver le taxi, les massages si vous le souhaitez, vous donnent les astuces pour optimiser votre temps, en clair, ils sont formidables. Seulement 3 jours pour une prendre une bulle d'air dans notre quotidien, ressenti 1 semaine! Je vous recommande sans aucune hésitation.

Tout était au delà de notre espérance, rien à reprocher.

I had a wonderful stay at Riad Nirvana for 3 nights and 4 days. The riad itself is absolutely beautiful—refreshing, peaceful, and incredibly relaxing. It strikes the perfect balance in location: just a short walk to the Medina so you can easily immerse yourself in the energy of Marrakech, while still being tucked away enough to maintain a peaceful, quiet atmosphere. What truly made the experience exceptional was the hospitality. The owners were incredibly warm, welcoming, and attentive, and the entire staff went above and beyond to help with anything I needed. From arranging transport to offering thoughtful advice, they made everything seamless. At one point, I needed an extra suitcase last minute before my flight, and they even helped me find one. The food was another highlight. Dinner at the riad was absolutely delicious, and I really enjoyed the opportunity to connect with other guests over both dinner and breakfast—it added such a personal and communal touch to the stay. The rooftop is also a standout feature, offering a perfect place to unwind and take in beautiful views of the city. I truly can’t wait to return—this place is something special.
