Riad Ciel d'Orient

Beautiful, but needs pest control.

Pros: A very nice riad, with large and beautiful rooms. Beautiful terrace and pool. In the medina, but close to the road.

Cons: Friends who lived on the ground floor had cockroaches in their room.

Great value

Pros: Very convenient location near medina and nice restaurant options few minutes away. The room was much more spacious than expected with large en-suite bathroom. The staff was very welcoming and helpful, I’d definitely recommend staying.

It was a very nice place to stay.

Pros: The breakfast was great and the staff very helpful

Cons: It was a bit hard to find in the tiny streets initially and then we were given a short cut

First Riad stay was Perfect!!

Pros: We loved our stay! We were greeted very kindly, had some tea and biscuits while completing the paperwork. The staff was really nice, especially Sahir who was so lovely, funny and gentle, gave us some great tips to improve our experience of Marrakech, showed us a map and marked some utilities we were looking for. The breakfast was generous and delicious. The place was beautiful and very well located. It's clearly very well taken care of, with nice incense and candles always lit, nice room temperature. The toiletries were very lovely as well. Has air conditioning, hair drier and mini fridge too. The terrace is very cozy and the morning sun is just amazing there. Couldn't recomend more! The pool looked really amazing too, we just didn't have enough time for a dip! Will try next time!

Cons: Too short stay!

A great place to stay and highly recommended

Pros: We stayed 5 nights. Very warm and welcoming staff and we were well looked after, with airport transfers organised which were right on time and made everything easy. The room was spacious, clean, and the decor was lovely traditional Morrocan. Location excellent - just a short five minute walk to a rooftop bar, restaurants and cafes in a big square, then another minute and you're in the souks. About 15-20 minutes' walk to the central Jamaa el-Fnaa marketplace. All the main museums/ palaces were within walking distance of the riad. The fact it was away from the main road also meant there was very little traffic noise. If you're looking to stay in a traditional riad with fabulous staff, this one is highly recommended.

Cons: The only thing I would say about staying in a riad is you can often hear the noise from other guests as they come and go, as the rooms all face into an inner courtyard. This isn't a criticism of this particular riad, just something worth considering if you're a light sleeper and staying more than a couple of nights. Having said that, the typical design of a riad does block out traffic noise.

A super Riad very well placed

Pros: The decoration,the service,the location,the comfort,the staff, value for money

Cons: I can't think of something

Nice place and staff

Pros: The location is really good, close to many important attractions but still far from all the noise and caos

Cons: It is cold during winter

Pros: Nice Riad with very good staff. Plus Riad offers a fantastic solarium at the roof top with the sunset view and very nice hammam, is a great way to finish your day after long travel. In the morning we had a lovely breakfast at their roof top

Cons: We couldn't find the riad pick-up driver in the airport so it was tricky to find that place

Perfect location, great stay!

Pros: Such a lovely property, we had a couple of nights here and everything was super accommodating, clean, comfortable and beautiful 😍 you’d never know inside was such a gem from the outside street! Perfect location close to everything :)

Fantastic stay

Pros: The property was looked after so well. The staff were incredible. The day staff, night staff and breakfast staff made sure to take care of us. The manager Abdelwahab made sure to look after us and share any information we needed. It was also incredibly safe and the location was fantastic
