Riad Le J

Superb, clean, central little hostelry bang in the middle of everything. Ibrahim is a total gent. Breakfast is charming and the room is spotless with aircon and heating. We stayed in Pepper. Slightly tricky to find down winding narrow streets in the central Medina but worth it for the quiet and quick access to all the sights.

Great location and amazing staff - Ibrahim is a superstar whose recommendations were absolutely spot on and helped make our trip

Superb staff. Lovely rooms Fantastic location.

Only thing is that the bathroom shower heads could do with a bit of attention as old with scale. Towels could be replaced as well.

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.

Charming property. The riad is accessed through narrow streets, but it always felt safe. The highlight of the stay was definitely the breakfast!

The toilet could be updated and improved.

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.

We chose this riad because of the stylish decor , central location and the personal service- it is small so you feel very well looked after. The rooftop seating is romantic at sunset and a fresh start in the morning . The breakfast was superb- egg, breads, pastries, cake, yogurt and fruit. You feel like you have been a guest at a friend's house.

You will need to walk from Bab Lakssour gate to reach riad. We carried ou backpacks but you can get a chariot for bags.
