Riad 22 - L'Etoile d'Orient

Lovely Riad with friendly host

Pros: Nice Riad - with lovely courtyard and room. Very friendly and helpful host. Good breakfast We liked the area

A fantastic property for a wholesome Moroccan getaway

Pros: This Riad was perfect for a Moroccan experience. The location was excellent, only a short walk away from central medina. It was on a quiet street and felt very safe. The host Badr was so kind and helpful. We felt very welcome from the moment we arrived until we left. We were provided with a delicious traditional breakfast each morning and they even gave us some breakfast to go when we left very early to catch our flight the last day. I would highly recommend this property!

Was lovely

Pros: Was super nice and in a quiet, off the Main Street area. Staff were lovely and organised a take away breakfast as we had a tour booked to leave before breakfast started which was super kind of them.

Very nice place to stay in Marrakesh

Pros: Riad received our reservation last minute and accommodate us with everything we needed. Special thanks to Badr who assisted us with any support we asked for, such as organizing parking lot at our very late arrival or non-sweet products for breakfast as I have problems with sugar. He was very polite and helpful. We definitely recommend the Riad.

Ideal to explore Marrakesh

Pros: The property and staff was amazing- everything was clean, we had a warm welcome and the perfect location to explore the souks and city of Marrakech - we’d definitely come back again!

Exceptional

Pros: Great place, great host who couldn’t have been more helpful and was always there when I needed anything. The riad was in a really good area and I will definitely stay again. Dave

True Moroccan hospitality in the Medina

Pros: Staying at this riad felt like stepping into the true spirit of Marrakech. Hidden in the heart of the Medina, it’s the perfect place to get lost in the narrow streets and discover the city’s charm. Badr is an exceptional host — genuinely kind, welcoming, and always happy to help, making us feel at home from the very first moment. The room was spotless, cleaned daily, with fresh towels every day. Although riads can be quite cool, the air conditioning worked perfectly and allowed us to heat the room, which made our stay much more comfortable. Each morning started with a freshly prepared breakfast full of flavor, and the traditional Moroccan pastries were simply unforgettable. A place with soul, warmth, and true hospitality. Highly recommended 😃

Pros: The owner is a wonderful, helpful man. The riad was nice and the room had AC—it wasn't cold. The building's location is great.

Cons: The bathroom in the room was a bit dated. Compared to other riads in Marrakesh and to European standards, this riad standard is around three stars.

Pros: Badr was an exceptional host - he was very helpful when my husband was sick and walked with us to the pharmacy, he also got my husband his favourite moroccon pastries and a small gift for his birthday. He also told us what price we should be paying for things so we didn't get ripped off. The breakfast was great and varied. Bed was comfortable, nice terrace and daily housekeeping.

Cons: Be ready for early wake up calls with the call to prayer. Shower was slow draining. Would be helpful for labels to be on the toiletries.
