Reviews of Riad & Spa Laurence Olivier

Gorgeous decor and architecture, a real zen palace only steps away from the medina madness. Breakfast was phenomenal, can’t wait to stay here again.

We were trying to pay for our extra drinks before catching the bus to Essaouria, however upon trying to pay we were told the card machine doesn’t work and hadn’t in fact ever worked. This caused a lot of stress because we were then very short on time to catch our bus, and the close by cash machine wasn’t working. Ended up having to pay for a taxi to take us to the ATM, to then return to the riad with the money we owed. Not impressed by this. All very well just taking cash, but mention this to guests when they check in saying only cash payments, that way we would have prepared.

We were not given the room I was told was allocated to us. The breakfast and staff were great. Pool area was good and so were the tortoise. Please give the rooms a bit of TLC and sort out the aircon as rattled as not cool enough. You could make the rooftop space so much better.

The area around Riad isn’t the best!

Unbelievable property- luxurious beyond belief and the staff were so so friendly and caring, they would do anything for you.

Nothing at all.

Beautiful garden with pool. Nice rood terrace. Friendly staff.

The room felt very exposed with only a flimsy glass door and the ac unit was too far from the bed to be effective. Service was quite slow checking in and getting breakfast in the morning.

An absolutely beautiful Riad which felt like stepping back in time. Incredible and luxurious. The staff are incredible!

The staff were really friendly and welcoming :) we didn’t catch the names of two of them, but they were both really nice. Laurence, the owner, greeted us on the last day at checkout too 🥹 The room was huge (Suite)!! We felt like we were in a museum. It was just too beautiful. Shame we were so tired slept early and woke up late 🥹 This was our first time in Morocco, and we stayed here for the last day of our trip. It was definitely the right choice. It’s clean, quiet, and we don’t think we’ll find another place quite like this riad outside of Morocco 🇲🇦 We really loved the tortoise family living in their garden too! 🐢🐢🐢They even have a tiny tortoise, about the size of a thumb😭💚And the garden is so clean. If you don’t like tortoise/ animals, still quite clean. Thank you so much for the hospitality. We’ll come back again one day🫶🏼

Breakfast was absolutely first-class and attention by the staff was simple wonderful. As it was at all times. Really felt part of a 'family' while staying in the Riad. Rooms were great and outside areas and courtyards were just incredible. A most beautiful place indeed and haven't stopped sharing my experiences with my friends back in Ireland.

Leaving. Just loved every minute. in Marrakech and our time in the Riad.

Staff where excellent

Location

Location is quite close to places of interest. The riad itself is probably more beautifull than some museums around :) Personel is exclusively nice and helpful. Services ( hammam, massage and privat dinner) are excellent.

We loved the Riad, magnificent decor designed to perfection, but above all, we enjoyed the warmth by the staff - impeccable friendly service throughout - we felt at home !!

We liked everything!!

Very nice design, attention to details, great rooftop terrace.

We travelled in January and the heating wasn’t working well, so although we received extra blankets, it was cold in the room, which made it less comfortable.
