Reviews of Riad Le J

Abraham was great, very friendly and gave great recommendations for things to do and places to eat. Breakfast was also great, I looked forward to that each morning! Location was also great.

Beds were very hard.

Beautifully designed riad. Stylish furniture and decor throughout. Nice breakfast. Convenient location for the medina.

Beds not super clean. Bedding ok, but pillows and mattresses not as clean as they should be. The approach to the riad is very off putting. The alleys around are full of rubble and poorly lit. The room we had was impossible to ventilate with air from outside without opening doors and windows to the corridor leading to neighbouring rooms. We didn’t feel safe leaving these open at night. The air conditioning was too noisy to use at night.

Our room at Riad le J was large and comfortable and the rooftop terrace was a beautiful spot for relaxing and watching the sunset. Breakfast was plentiful although there there didn't seem to be much choice. The Riad is right in the heart of the medina, so close to a lot of the main attractions and good places to eat. It was beautifully furnished in quite a formal style, always a surprise to find such places down twisty alleys.

We were travelling from Essaouira by bus and I contacted the Riad in good time to ask if someone could meet us from the bus station. Unfortunately they were not able to help and just sent google map directions which would have been completely useless as it was down some very narrow, dark and twisty alleys in the medina. We ended up paying about Eu17 for a guide, a wheelbarrow carrier and the craziest tuk tuk drive ever, through those narrow streets and alleys - an experience definitely, but I would have appreciated a bit more help from the Riad.

Lovely Riad in a quiet location to escape the madness of the Souks! Lovely breakfast and extremely friendly and helpful team at Le J. Great value for a very central location.

The Riad is nice and very cozy. Heach room has a bathroom. The staff is very kind and respectful. There is a delicious breakfast every morning. There was no hot water during two days but it was not really important for us. The riad is in the middle of the medina but dofficult to find. Make sure you arrange a transfer with them so a person can take you to the riad the first day. I really recomend it!

The staff is amazing, the breakfast was really nice! The big shared table is really nice to get in touch with other travelers :) It’s a bit hard to find but with Google Maps it was easy!

The staff were very helpful and the breakfasts were very good.

We had plenty of hot water but setting the temperature so that you didn’t burn yourself was next to impossible. It was running too hot then too cold then too hot, frustrating ! We were also without internet for four days apparently the fault of Maroc Internet .

Great location and amazing staff - Ibrahim is a superstar whose recommendations were absolutely spot on and helped make our trip

Superb staff. Lovely rooms Fantastic location.

Only thing is that the bathroom shower heads could do with a bit of attention as old with scale. Towels could be replaced as well.

Nice design internally.

The staff were disengaged and not very friendly, so unlike other places in Morocco we did not feel welcome. The exception to this was Ibrahim who was great. The location is at the end of a dirty alley where there is a lot of building work. We had to step through wet cement many times when coming and going. We would not stay here again.

Charming property. The riad is accessed through narrow streets, but it always felt safe. The highlight of the stay was definitely the breakfast!

The toilet could be updated and improved.

We were disappointed in this stay. The room and especially the bathroom have seen better days. While it was not bad by any measure, for the price of 120.00 euro per night we expected a bit more comfort, upkeep and cleanliness. Also, the location in the maze of streets with construction and rubble right next door detract from the experience.

We were disappointed in this riad. We based our stay on the recommendations written in The Telegraph travel section, but the review there must have been several decades old. While the place does have a nice Art Deco design in the common area, a lot of the furnishing in the rooms has become considerably shabby over time, the bathroom fixtures were broken, broken hook for towels, overall feeling of mustiness and old dirt in the shower and the room as well. The breakfast was fine but nothing amazing - a boiled egg, jar of yogurt, butter, jams, laughing cow cheese and several types of bread. While the evening attendant person was decidedly nice, the ladies during the day did not seem very eager to please the guests and we had rather a feeling of being a bother to them. Plus it was really hard to find this place in the maze of narrow streets, with some houses in rubble just next to the building. As no car or taxi can get here, we initially spent a long time looking for the riad, lugging around our heavy luggage. For all these reasons, we obviously cannot recommend this accommodation.

We chose this riad because of the stylish decor , central location and the personal service- it is small so you feel very well looked after. The rooftop seating is romantic at sunset and a fresh start in the morning . The breakfast was superb- egg, breads, pastries, cake, yogurt and fruit. You feel like you have been a guest at a friend's house.

You will need to walk from Bab Lakssour gate to reach riad. We carried ou backpacks but you can get a chariot for bags.

Quiet, good location.

Estilo intimista, calmo e excelente pequeno almoço

We loved the stylish decor and art pieces. The member of staff ( Ibrahim?) who stayed till midnight after the airport security delays and then arrange our taxi transfer the next day went over and above, so pleasant and kind. The breakfast was a delicious spread of breads, fruits, cheese, honey and a lovely creamy yogurt . Central location is great for exploring Marrakech. Rooftop terrace was fabulous gor views out over city to the Atlas

Little hard to find but mostly down to us doing it at midnight! Google maps snd some local chaps just about got us there. You can't get a taxi close, it is about a 9 min walk

Great interior design, friendly stuff, central location

1. Windows and doors are old and at night you can hear all sounds around, also see the light through little halls in the window. But I had that also in another riad, it might just be how the houses are in the old centre of Marrakesh 2. The street is not lively. I would not recommend for female solo travellers. Even though Marrakesh is a very safe city, this street just feels dodgy at night
