Riad Star by Marrakech Riad

My family stayed at the Riad Star for a few nights. This was our first trip to Marrakech, and I hope it won’t be our last. We had drivers arranged from the airport. I came later than the rest of my family, and they were very accommodating in booking another car for us. We stayed in the Ebony room, which was perfect for a family of 4. We had reached out about a guide originally, but it fell through, so Amine offered to take us around the Souk on our first day there. He was so kind and helpful! Breakfast each day was delicious and the rooftop terrace was wonderful at night. We had a fantastic stay at the Riad Star!

Our stay at Riad Star has been absolutely perfect. The Riad is of traditional Moroccan design with a beautiful layout and incredible architecture and craftsmanship. The intricate plaster work and tiling take you back to another world. We had two rooms, both were lovely with original features and considered design. On a practical note, beds are comfortable, there is plenty of storage, the rooms are large and the water is always hot. Breakfast is a delight and is served pretty much anywhere you want to eat. The dining area is relaxing but we also enjoyed eating on the rooftop terrace overlooking the medina. If you like a late starter don’t worry as breakfast runs to midday and is so plentiful you won’t want lunch. Location is very central and you can walk everywhere, the Medina has literally 100’s of stalls and eating places all within a few minutes walk. Lastly the staff… you can’t ask for a better team. Nothing is too much and you are made to feel very welcome. Any information or activities that you want can be arranged by Amine and the team. The hotel also has a hammam which I can recommend and although we didn’t eat lunch or dinner the smell from the kitchen was amazing. We will be back very soon.

Unbelievable!! Cannot say enough about this hotel. The owner and staff were exceptional. They went out of their way to make a stay for my family feel welcome and safe. They set up tours, dinners, and experiences that made our stay in Marrakesh over-the-top. The rooms were gorgeous, the roof deck beautiful and its unique charm and tribute to Josephine Baker is romantic and beautifully done. The owner took the time to greet and welcome is. He personally made sure that we had a great stay. Dinner and breakfast were delicious. We are so happy that we stayed here. It truly made our visit! A million thank yous to the staff and owners.

Very nice old house with lot of history and beautiful architecture. We stayed there for 10 days from 23 of December to 2 of January. The staff were fantastic to help us and the food (breakfast) was amazing and it was available to 12:00 a clock. They came every day to clean and make our beds and we got clean towels every day. I have stayed in many different Hotels and this is my favourite 🤩❤️

Charming Riad. Hard to find at first, but well worth it.

We had the most amazing trip to Marrakech thanks to the Riad star. The staff were the nicest and most friendliest people I have ever met. Ayoub was amazing and so helpful. He and another staff meme we helped us order taxis and walk us to the pickup spot. We felt so safe! The location is perfect, walking distance from the souks and square. You really get to experience Marrakech here as it’s right in the center of the Medina. Just amazing. The hotel was super clean, air conditioned and the free breakfast was divine. Rooftop was so nice to be able to have drinks in the evening and also amazing views of sunset. I could not recommend this place enough. If you are going to Marrakech… stay at the riad star!!

Wonderful place to stay in Marrakech. Everyone was so helpful and the place is absolutely beautiful. Walking distance to the market, the palace and the Medina. Beds were very comfortable and the terrace was delightful. Would definitely stay here again!

****Disclaimer: we were booked are Riad Star, but a few days before our trip, they asked us to move to Riad Spice as they had emergency crew staying with them at Star, this review is about Riad Spice, their other property***Coming in a month after the earthquake, we weren't sure if it was the right thing to do, but our hosts recommended that we come, and I am so glad we listened to them. Mohammed arranged transport to and from the riad, dinner on our first evening, breakfast every morning (on our schedule), gave great recommendations, booked a guide and a hammam for us. The rooms are lovely, clean, safe, quiet... delightful. Lovely experience.

Staff friendly and accommodating
