Guest Reviews
- Luc (10/5): un endroit qui merite d'etre decouvert - Le calme au milieu des souks rien tout est bien
- Ammar (9/5): Great first time Riad experience. - The property is clean, quiet and has a great atmosphere. Nooraddin is such a great guy, and all his staff. it’s been a a pleasure to meet him. There has to be more street signs to show directions to the Riad.
- Caroline (9/5): Emplacement très chaleureux, bien situé et un personnel toujours à notre disposition. - L’accueil très chaleureux, les renseignements sur les restaurants et le petit déjeuner. Rien
- Claudia (8/5): -
- Megan (10/5): Beautiful riad in the heart of Marrakech - This was our favorite riad throughout our entire trip. The building and rooms were absolutely stunning, clean, and spacious. The food was also delicious. The staff was very helpful with any requests we had.
- Geoff (10/5): Charming Medina/Riad Experience - Riad Joya is a charming, authentic building located in the heart of the Marrakech Medina. The location is within very small lanes and alleys, so be prepared for walking access and having someone meet and greet to take you there on first arrival. The Riad manager ensures you and your baggage are well taken care of. The decor is traditional and authentic giving the feel of the real home that it once was. Rooms come a generous welcoming of water and fruit, dates etc and are very clean.
- Yifu (10/5): -
- Carl (10/5): -
- Roy (10/5): -
- Bianca (10/5): Amazing. I would definitely stay there again - Very clean and comfortable room and extremely attentive and nice staff. No complaints
- julie (10/5): Great friendly riad in good location - Great location friendly staff The WiFi could be faster and more reliable
- Pablo (9/5): -
- Ulrich (10/5): -
- Jackie (9/5): Very attentive staff. Calm, clean and quiet space in the middle of the bustling souks. - Possibly not the prettiest riad since it doesn’t have a central pool type water feature but the space and the rooms are very comfortable and in the warmer months it will be a very cool and calm oasis. Amazing location!
- Birgit (10/5): Top-Riad inmitten der Medina - Das Riad JOYA ist ein tolles Haus mitten in der Medina - die Lage ist absolut perfekt und ein super Ausgangspunkt für Unternehmungen aller Art. Trotz der zentralen Lage ist es dennoch extrem ruhig und idyllisch. Noureddine & sein Team sind unglaublich bemüht, herzlich und freundlich, auf Wunsch wird alles organisiert, Privattaxis für Unternehmungen oder zb. Flughafen-Transfer. Die Sauberkeit ist herausragend (die großen und komfortablen Zimmer werden mehrmals täglich in Ordnung gebracht). Bin schon öfter in Marrakesh gewesen, aber noch nie war das Gesamtpaket so überzeugend. Weiter so und danke nochmal für die schöne Zeit & Gastfreundschaft! Wir kommen sicher wieder!!! Wenn ich eine kleine Anregung geben soll, dann wär’s die Beleuchtung im Badezimmer. Ein beleuchteter Kosmetikspiegel könnte Abhilfe schaffen - jeder weibliche Gast würde sich darüber freuen! 😉
- Ana (10/5): Perfecto - Servicio impecable. No faltó un detalle. Siempre que volvíamos a la habitación estaba la cama hecha, ponían las toallas nuevas y nos dejaban una botella de agua, dátiles y fruta. Desayuno muy rico y variado. También nos dejaron salir más tarde.
- Bovie (9/5): - Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans le riad Joya. Encore merci au personnel 😊
- Elisabeth-Valerie (9/5): - Wahnsinnig schönes Riad, wunderschön eingerichtet mit großzügigen Zimmern. Es ist familiengeführt und wir wurden von allen rundum verwöhnt, jeder Wunsch wurde uns erfüllt. Das Frühstück ist großartig, die Dachterrasse ein schöner, ruhiger Ort zum entspannen und die Sauberkeit in den Zimmern absolut top. Wir waren im Februar da, und da war es im Zimmer, trotz Heizlüfter etwas kalt, ein Teppich vor dem Bett könnte helfen, um es etwas wärmer zu machen. Das ist aber auch wirklich alles, wir waren sonst super happy.
- Rupert (10/5): Just what we had hoped for - excellent breakfast nothing
- caroline (9/5): Excellent - L’emplacement, le calme, les chambres. Le personnel est adorable et discret. Nous avons demandé d’organiser un dîner couscous qui était excellent. Rien
- Argente (10/5): Amazing Moroccan experience. - The location was amazing and the service was top notch definitely happy with our stay here. The bed itself was not as comfortable as we would like it.
- john (10/5): Maravillosa atención de su personal, limpieza excepcional, desayuno delicioso, hermoso lugar; lo recomiendo - Absolutamente todo, la atención, el desayuno, limpieza, las instalaciones No tengo nada para decir, todo estuvo perfecto
- Angela (10/5): - Really nice big bathroom, and working plumbing. Many old riads don't have that. Comfortable bed and bedding, that's also exceptional. The breakfast was nice and staff were really nice and helpful. The location is great too, in the middle of madina but quiet side of the maze.
- Puerto (10/5): Una esperiencia inolvidable - Todo. Las habitaciones amplias y muy limpias La atención de todo el personal. Te dejan fruta, agua, dátiles y chocolates que te van reponiendo todo el tiempo. Cenamos una noche y maravilloso. Contratamos el servicio de transfer desde el aeropuerto y merece la pena Hay que reconocer que el precio es algo elevado pero merece la pena
- Andreia (9/5): - Excelente localização. Todos os colaboradores eram muito simpáticos e prestáveis. Sempre atentos às nossas necessidades, a arranjar o quarto e com muita simpatia. Pequeno almoço muito bom.
- Johannes (10/5): Luxe en rust in het hart van Marrakech - De locatie is subliem, je komt er via een paar steegjes zoals bij alle Riads, maar eenmaal binnen ervaar je de rust en luxe. Geweldige service, uitgebreid ontbijt, elke dag nieuw water en fruit op je kamer. Snelle wifi, goede airco, grote douche, comfortabel bed etc. Enorm schoon. We hadden via de Riad het vervoer geregeld (is aan te bevelen), met een luxe privé taxi van het vliegveld naar de ingang van de Medina, vanuit daar met iemand die onze koffers droeg naar de Riad ( die zonder hem niet te vinden zou zijn geweest). Niet zelf gaan zoeken! Alles was perfect, kan niks negatiefs bedenken
- Aljl123 (6/5): Overall a good stay, but needs to be aware about very differents standards than in Europe - The place is quiet, the room is spacious. The owner attentive and helpful. The access to the Riad is pretty derelict. Security could easily be a problem albeit we never felt under threat. The bedrooms needs to be refreshed, the general atmosphere a bit gloomy.
- Joffrey (10/5): Perfect - Kamer was prachtig en personeel was extreem vriendelijk. Ze kwamen ons halen bij de ingang van de medina en brachten ons met onze valies tot aan de deur. We mochten ook een gratis late-checkout tot 15:00 hebben. Niets.
- Laura (10/5): Fantastico. Un ringraziamento a tutto lo staff. - Devo dire che è tutto ineccepibile dall’atmosfera, la camera, il servizio, il personale disponibilissimo . Tutto ciò ha reso il nostro soggiorno ancora più unico. Se devo trovare qualcosa che mi abbia entusiasmato di meno è la colazione che a parer mio non è all’altezza della struttura.
- Julie (10/5): -
- Jennifer (10/5): Quiet escape in the middle of the city. - The staff was very friendly and accomodating. They were helpful with directions, scheduling a hamman, making dinner reservations, and booking transportation/airport transfers.
- Pascale (10/5): Amazing, we were so well looked after - We were looked after so well. Best service ever. I will be coming back again. Great location - quiet rooms Outstanding food
- Mária (10/5): Csak ajánlani tudom pihenni vágyóknak, de mindenhez közel. - Tiszta, jó elhelyezkedés. Segítő kedves kiszolgálás. Nem volt ilyen
- patrick (10/5): - The property and staff were wonderful. Apple and goggle maps were not even close to getting us to the property. Hire a small tuk tuk to get you after taxi ride
- Bruce (10/5): - Fantastic staff, great breakfast, excellent condition. Great place to stay in the Medina. Very quiet and safe.
- Marco (10/5): Jewel of a Riad - We had an amazing stay and felt like home. The service and kindness from all was incredible. Thank you for making our birthday celebrations special.
- Bianca (10/5): -
- Jessica (10/5): A true oasis of comfort and kindness to explore Marrakesh - The staff, the rooms, breakfast; everything!
- Alessandro (10/5): - El lugar esta hermoso y muy bien ubicado.
- Jay (10/5): The best place to stay. - The place is spotlessly clean and beautiful. The staff are outstanding: helpful, friendly, attentive. Rooms are large and well appointed, with excellent AC. This riad was the best part of my trip. It’s located down a winding alley. Makes it a bit mysterious.
- Yacoff (9/5): Riad Joya became our home in Marrakech - On our first trip to Morocco, Riad Joya became our home in Marrakech. It has many merits. The manager, Noureddine, is a master of hospitality. His small team is just as outstanding, starting with the dear Fannane. The room was spacious, comfortable, impeccably clean, and welcoming. Everything worked perfectly. Dates, almonds, fruit, flowers, and water were replenished daily. A premium airport transfer is included in the daily rate—essential for finding the Joya in the labyrinth of the medina. Great Moroccan-style breakfast. Be sure to have at least one meal there. At the dinner we had, we tasted the most delicious and refined tagine of our entire trip through the country. The Wi-Fi could be better, but the instability seems structural, as we experienced the same in all the riads we stayed at in other cities.
- Sahana (9/5): Superb - Everything .. as Mara kesh was our first nite in Morocco Riad Joya set our standards very high . Special mention to fernan for making our time in joya so special
- Joseph (10/5): - One of the most hospitable hotels I have ever stayed at. Highly recommended.
- Rossana (10/5): Oasis in the Medina - Great stay. Beautiful place well maintained and exceedingly clean. Amazing breakfast. Had dinner the first night and it was tasteless and dry as well as being very expensive. Otherwise it was wonderful.
- Melissa (10/5): Exceptional -
- Edwin (10/5): Totally terrific - The breakfast was efficiently served and ample. The staff were extremely helpful and pleasant and always there to greet when we arrived back. The owner even helped us to book tickets for the Jonelle Gardens. The location could not have been better and the transport to and from the airport was extremely efficient. The builders next door made some noise but this would not affect future guests and there was a pigeon roosting outside the bathroom window but when the building has finished I don't think this would be a problem for future guests.
- Maneesh (10/5): Exceptional -
- Chase (10/5): An oasis of calm and beauty in the heart of Marrakech, Riad Joya offers inspiring design, exceptional service, and a tru - A smooth transfer from the airport to this gem of a road in busy Marrakech. Despite being in the heart of the excitement, it’s incredibly quiet, peaceful and a restful hotel. It’s an inspiring stay with its beautiful design as well. Above all else, the hotel staff was magnificent and available for any needs. Bravo, Riad Joya! N/A
- Dalila (10/5): A whisper of calm in the vibrant heart of Marrakech. - We loved everything about Riad Joyas. All the details, the magnificent room, and the incredibly attentive staff. The terrace was very peaceful, and we were truly delighted with our stay. We are simply grateful that our short visit turned out to be unforgettable.
- Thillaiampalam (9/5): The staff are very hospitable and treat you like a member of the family. They go out of their way. - The breakfast is bespoke and different everyday. Very fresh produce and every day is a surprise. Maybe tea and coffee making facilities in the rooms
- James (8/5): Very good -
- Gina (10/5): Exceptional -
- Fatima (10/5): - The place was very convenient and comfortable. Fannan was so helpful and friendly all the time. I wasn’t feeling well and they got me boiled potatoes and special foods to accommodate my upset stomach. It just felt like home away from home. I can’t ask for a better hotel. Noureddine was helpful in every way. It was nice to stay within Madina walls to explore the neighborhood thoroughly.
- Romina (10/5): - It was a last minute booking and was the perfect choice! A short walk from Jemma El-Fnaa and many other key places. Plenty of restaurants within walking distance. The staff were attentive, friendly, warm, and helpful. My room was cleaned no less than twice a day! The breakfast was delicious and more than sufficient to start my day. The hotel itself is such a peaceful oasis in a busy neighborhood. The design is elegant and modern. The bed, pillows and linen felt luxurious and inviting, especially after a day of long walks and site visits. I highly recommend Riad Joya!!!
- Webber (9/5): Superb - We were attracted to Riad Joya by the good reviews, and the way it has been decorated, in slightly minimalistic but still Moroccan style. Italian owners. Noureddine was really helpful, and his staff all courteous and helpful. Rooms are gorgeous, and food excellent. Very centrally located, if a bit difficult to find. Would recommend.
- Andrea (10/5): Wonderful taste of Marrakech - A gem of a property in the busy souk! Tremendous personal attention. Good breakfast, everyone we encountered was very helpful and kind. Nice amenities in the room but still had the traditional feel of Marrakech.
- Andrea (10/5): Highly recommend Riad Joya. You have all the charm and authenticity of Marrakech with the amenities Americans can expec - Everything! Accommodations, breakfast, location, truly personalized service and care. Rooms were lovely and spacious. We got great direction and suggestions and everyone couldn’t have been nicer or more helpful.
- Donald (10/5): Wonderful, friendly staff, exceptionally clean room, beautiful grounds! - Breakfast was lovely. The food was great and there was plenty of it. Our waiter was absolutely fantastic! Very attentive and very friendly. I cannot think of anything that we did not like or a complaint that we would have
- Verified traveler (10/5): 最高のステイ - 部屋は広くて快適。 ホテルの方がとても親切で、道を間違えたら迎えに来てくれたり、お店を教えてくれたり、ホスピタリティがすごい。 朝食も新鮮で美味しかった。 とても良い思い出になりました。
- Nitin (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jill (10/5): Beautiful Riad - Perfect location, staff very friendly, exceptionally clean. Breakfast was lovely but some variation each day would have been nice.
- Eugene (9/5): Super luxurious super location - Great location. Luxurious with a super breakfast Nothing
- Myron (10/5): - Wonderful accommodating staff! Good kitchen. Location is exceedingly difficult to find coming by taxi and “on foot” from the square. You will need a helper. This is the old city…get it? Very comfortable hotel once you are ensconced. This area of the city is really not for inexperienced travelers.
- Jenny (9/5): Lovely relaxing break with impeccable service - Lovely property in the middle of the medina Only potential negative is the lack of a swimming pool
- Mary (9/5): A perfect Riad close to everything in the Medina and wonderful staff. - Noureddine and his team were so friendly and helpful - nothing was too much trouble for them. A tiny criticism, I wish there had been one area in either the bedroom or bathroom with better lighting to do hair/makeup etc.
- Raymond (9/5): Riad Joya is indeed a joy. Highly recommended. - Riad Joya was indeed a joy to visit. All the staff were friendly and accommodating, in particular our host Nouredinne who suggested and booked restaurants and tours for us. Nothing was too much trouble. I would highly recommend. This is a small Riad with 7 rooms so the service is very personal. It's not so much what we didn't like but the small communal seating area just off the courtyard could be made more comfortable and sumptuous.
- Sebastian (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ricardo (9/5): Superb -
- Luca (10/5): A great stay in the heart of Medina - Room spacious and clean, Staff really friendly and helpful. Breakfast was really good. I’d definitely recommend it
- Ruth (10/5): A little Moroccan gem - Loved this place. The personal service was fantastic and made every difference to our stay. Breakfast was delicious - lovely mix of traditional Moroccan food. Felt like we were waited on hand and foot. Tea was brought to us on the terrace, there were recommendations for local restaurants. It's extremely safe and quite - a little oasis. The rooms are gorgeous too, beautiful, clean, tasteful. Loved it.
- Pittana (9/5): Superb -
- James (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jill (10/5): Stylish hotel in the centre of the Souk - Very stylish and friendly in an excellent location Nothing at all
- Verified traveler (10/5): Such a treat - So lovely, couldn’t have been quieter or nicer & more helpful staff. Felt like they went above & beyond to help in any way. Would love to stay again.
- Ciara (8/5): A short break packed with unique experiences. - A little oasis in the heart of a bustling medina. If it’s central you’re looking for, location couldn’t be better. A lovely warm welcome from the friendliest of staff at Riad Joya. The property was spotless, with water and fruit constantly topped up in the room. Would highly recommend the organised pick up and stop off as otherwise the property could be tricky to find until you become familiar with the narrow, twisty streets. Huge thanks to Nouradine and his team for looking after us so well. I would very much recommend Riad Joya. Breakfast could have been a little more varied. I don’t eat bread or pastries, of which there were plenty. In saying that, I had fruit, yoghurt and eggs each day which were delicious.
- Camilla (9/5): Superb -
- John Varmark (10/5): If you are looking for paradise - it´s right here - The world could tumble and we would still feel safe and comfortable. this place is exactly at the pictures, and the people taking care of you and this place are the most friendly, helpfull and caring souls. Loved every second and can´t wait to get back.
- Bill (10/5): I would recommend Riad Joya to anyone visiting Marrakech. - Dream stay - fantastic location, beautiful room, exceptional staff who were incredibly polite, very helpful with their recommendations and also arranging for airport transfer. The room was the perfect size, very quiet, very comfy bed, huge shower - snacks provided in the form of dates and fruit, with a fresh bottle of water whenever we returned. Nothing - it was the perfect stay!
- Tim (8/5): Serene and peaceful stay, well looked after. - Overall sense of calmness. Beautiful surroundings and clean. The staff team very helpful. Nothing
- Simon (9/5): A fabulous few days in a wonderful Riad - Perfect oasis amongst the hustle and bustle of the soul.
- Ozgur (10/5): Exceptional -
- Verified traveler (10/5): An Oasis of Calm in the bustle of the Medina - We are not usually moved to write reviews online but our long weekend in Marrakech at Riad Joya was perfect. The Riad is a beautiful Oasis of calm in the bustle of the Medina, and our room was just wonderful, but the staff are the reason we write. From the moment we were met at the nearest drop off point for the medina and our luggage was carted to our Riad (we certainly wouldnt have been able to find it without him!). The staff tended to our every need from booking our restaurants, escorting us to our pick up point for tours, sharing their local knowledge and ensuring we were most certainly home away fom home. Our room was even made up twice a day and so spotlessly clean. Riad Joya you were indeed a joy and if we didn't have work tomorrow we would have been extending our stay!
- Shaina (10/5): Exceptional -
- Francesca (9/5): Lovely lovely lovely - Beautiful property, in a fantastic location just a couple of minutes from El Fnaa Square, so very easy to situate yourself if lost which can easily be done in the Souks of Marrakech. Staff were always available and helpful, our room was cleaned every time we left the villa with new water and fresh fruit replaced each time. So beautiful and calm and quiet, in the midst of all the hustle and bustle. Breakfast could have been a little more expansive, with the same relatively minimal selection of fruit, breads and eggs offered each day.
- OanaLavinia (10/5): - Excellent stay in Marrakesh. The property is very central located close to the Djemaa el Fna and the souks. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They greeted us on the first day with tea and they helped us with everything that we asked for.Each time we left the room, the staff came in and cleaned the room. For sure they pay a lot of attention on cleaning, which is excellent. The breakfast was also amazing and they also have a nice roof top terrace where you can enjoy the sun. We highly recommend this place for a stay in Marrakesh!:)
- Saúl (10/5): Exceptional -
- Junia (10/5): - Check in and check out was super easy, and they were so helpful with everything we needed, booked us a place for dinner right away, walked us out to get a taxi on our last day at 7am with to go breakfast packages! Breakfast was included and was awesome! The room was a bit on a dark side, shower with hot and cold water can be tricky to handle.
- Jasmine (10/5): The Best Riad - From the moment my friend and I were greeted by Noureddine and staff, we were welcomed and made to feel at home. I totally screwed up our booking and Noureddine adjusted to our needs, very kindly and made it stress free! The room was STUNNING and clean with fresh fruit and water everyday! Breakfast was amazing every morning and so fresh, as soon as we came out of our rooms we were met with our bread basket and asked if we wanted the fresh offerings of the day. I’ve never been waited on so greatly as I have in this Riad and in Marrakech!! Any time we wanted tea they were so kind to indulge us. The excursions were all handled by Noureddine who was so gracious and patient with my friend and I. He made it very simple for us to do all the activities we wanted to in Marrakech and we did many! One note, do have cash for your excursions and tipping, next visit I will have more cash rather than relying on cards (although you can use your cards in many places). This was the best trip I’ve ever been on with everything working so seamlessly and most definitely the best place I’ve ever stayed! Super close to the square, Jemaa El-Fnaa also!!!
- Kuldeep (10/5): - Lovely and quality little Riad in Marrakech. Beautifully decorated, staff are friendly and supportive and extremely peaceful.
- Anees (9/5): Superb -
- Mark (9/5): Superb -
- Paula (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful and large room with a big closet. Staff were professional and helpful.
- Toyin (9/5): Superb -
- Adam (6/5): - The property has very few of any amenities besides wifi (which was unstable) - no tvs or speakers, no pool, no gym, no room service - very minimal so two stars were given for property facilities and for $250/night I have higher expectations. Most conversations can be heard in the room from other guests since the rooms face inward to the courtyard. The riad is a 10 min walk from the closest street where a taxi can drop off. The service is very nice and the hotel can help with luggage. However at night it doesn't feel safe, there's no security presence in the dark alleys and boys are zipping through the alleys on scooters at 30 km/h which are quite dangerous. On a positive note, the service provided was very warm and hospitable and the breakfast was wonderful.
- Sanzhar (10/5): Dreamy Getaway: Riad Joya - Our stay at Riad Joya was absolutely fantastic. The room was very big and clean. Cleanings happened multiple times a day with fresh towels on a daily basis. Bottled water and fresh fruits were also refilled daily. On top of that, it was centrally located, making it super easy to stroll to the city's attractions and restaurants. Breakfast was a feast! Moroccan pancakes, shakshuka, and all kinds of egg dishes. Fresh fruits and pastries were a daily treat. We also had some little surprises that made our stay even better. The owner surprised my wife with champagne and a lovely birthday message made of rose petals. Also, when we left, the owner gifted us many Moroccan spices, no charge. Beyond that, he guided us with directions and even negotiated great deals for us. In summary, Riad Joya deserves a solid five stars. It's not just a stay; it's an experience we'll remember. If you want a great service and a memorable stay, this is the place for you.
- Caroline (9/5): Superb -
- Andrew (8/5): Great, central accommodation - Manager was super helpful and always available. Quiet location, but very central. Clean and modern accommodation. Room service regular and very efficient Would have preferred a room not on ground floor - meant I didnt feel safe to open a door at night to allow some fresh air into the room. Breakfast didnt offer any choices or variety - so for someone staying 4 nights, it became repetitive and included fixed items, whether we liked them or not!
- Patrick (10/5): A little palace in the middle of the Medina - Everything but the staff was really top. Always ready to help. Nothing
- Negah (10/5): Exceptional - Everything ..
- Rosie (10/5): Perfect in every way. - Everything was absolutely perfect, the staff were incredible. They couldn’t help you anymore. Everytime you left your room, they would go in and tidy, and replace your water. The breakfast was delicious.
