It’s located down a winding alley. Makes it a bit mysterious.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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!

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.

Maybe tea and coffee making facilities in the rooms

The breakfast is bespoke and different everyday. Very fresh produce and every day is a surprise.

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.

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.

Only potential negative is the lack of a swimming pool

Lovely property in the middle of the medina

A tiny criticism, I wish there had been one area in either the bedroom or bathroom with better lighting to do hair/makeup etc.

Noureddine and his team were so friendly and helpful - nothing was too much trouble for them.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Nothing - it was the perfect stay!

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.

Perfect oasis amongst the hustle and bustle of the soul.

Breakfast could have been a little more expansive, with the same relatively minimal selection of fruit, breads and eggs offered each day.

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.
