Congratulations, you’ve found a gem here!! I spent days trawling search engines, playing around with search filters and reading reviews to find the perfect place to stay. I can happily say the hotel didn’t disappoint. Riad L’Etoile D’Orient ticks every box! - Located just 5 minutes walk from the souks and Jemaa El Fna square - Clean, modern rooms with mini fridge, safe, iron, and hairdryer - Excellent attentive staff always available to offer help and advice. - The most affordable Riad in comparison to others in the Medina of similar style and facilities - Jacuzzi on the roof terrace was amazing. There is no pool in this Riad but I prefer a hot jacuzzi over a cold, unheated, decorative pool any day! - Yummy breakfast If you’ve made up you mind that you’d like to stay in the heart of the Medina, in a Riad as opposed to a hotel, then this is certainly for you. If I ever return to Marrakech, this is where I’ll be staying!

Not so much a negative and may not apply to all the rooms, but the open plan bathroom layout with a clear glass shower door doesn’t offer much privacy when friends are sharing the room. We used a spare bedsheet to drape over the door. Simple fix.

The Riad is located in the Medina and has no direct access by car. That being said Fati arranged for a porter to pick us up at El Fna Square and bring us to the Riad. Although located in the medina market which was noisy and crowded, this Riad in itself is very quiet and peaceful. The Riad is well maintained and all the staff including Fati, Azedine, Ayman and Abdo would go out of their way to be helpful. The location is great as you are minutes from the square and can access all the sites within 15 mins walk. The breakfast is good and they try to vary it a bit on a daily basis. We had dinner at the rooftop and it was very good. We also did the hamam and massage in the Riad, which was excellent. I would recommend this Riad as a great place to stay in.

Stayed in the green riad which was stunning The value for money was exceptional The rooftop terrace is beautiful with great views Breakfast was delicious The rooms all have en suites with good facilities & the Riad is beautifully decorated. I would absolutely recommend it & go back!

The rooms are maybe a little small but the Riad is very big & it never felt cramped. The staff are amazing & so helpful & kind however there's always someone in the Riad so there's not always much privacy during the day which is a shame. The Riad can be a bit difficult to find, particularly at night. I'd recommend dropping a pin on your phone map before going out so you can find it again particularly as there are no signs leading to it or outside the door.

The staff were all very friendly, and the breakfast was good. The location is near the main market square, but not right on it--convenient but without the noise.

We don't recommend booking outings through the riad. We had a driver who drove dangerously fast on winding mountain roads and engaged in road rage with another vehicle while driving us back from an outing. We complained about it, but the same driver was sent to drive us on the next outing! The beds are very hard, like sleeping on a concrete slab. I understand this is typical in Morocco, so don't let that put you off too much as it is probably similar in other riads.

The location is in the city centre, however, probably due to holiday season it took time to get to the Riad at night, as taxis couldn’t pass through the crowd so we alighted far away from the Riad at night. The Riad staff provided taxi on request and also someone to accompany us from the Riad to where the taxi packed. Overall, the staffs were lovely. I requested for early breakfast most days and they came through. The accommodation was so clean, overly and thoroughly cleaned always, thanks to Yakut (not sure I spelt that well). The admin staffs too lovely, same were the ladies in charge of our massage sessions. Superb ❤️ All in all 10/10

Where to start... When we arrived, Adezine provided us with fresh mint tea and discussed the best tourist attractions/things to look our for in Marrakech. Given that this was our first time here, it was really helpful! Then, we were given a full tour of the riad, and Adezine answered all of our questions. We had lovely breakfast served every morning and a friendly welcome every afternoon. The staff made the experience so enjoyable with their attentiveness and warmth. Adezine helped us plan our day in Agadir and helped with our transfer as the language barrier was difficult for us. Abdo was also very attentive and friendly, he helped us with the AC without hesitation and checked in with us throughout our stay. The hammam was amazing and so worth the money, and the riad is just beautiful. I really liked the location as we could get to the medina within minutes. I would 10000% recommend this stay and I will be returning here the next time I visit. Thank you :)

The staff were incredibly friendly and readily provided recommendations for restaurants, cultural attractions, bars and even nightclubs! The Riad was homely and centrally located. The main square was a 5 minute walk away and most attractions within the Medina were, at most, 15 minutes walk away. The facilities were excellent and clean. We stayed in the Diham suite which was not huge but it was pretty, well kept and had enough space for 2 people's stuff. It also had a working TV with international channels so I could watch the Euros!! We had a delicious 3-course hand-prepared meal for £17pp. I would even go as far as to say the minibar was reasonably priced with water being 1 euro. I would highly recommend this place.

Breakfast was lovely, made fresh each day. Tea, omelet, butter, jam, bread, croissants. Fresh orange juice pastries etc. Staff very friendly and helpful. Happy to help. Cooked food was yummy.

Rooms are small and dark. Cat wondering around building on the roof top, Taxis don't drive up to riad after 5pm, you get dropped off by petrol station. So you have to walk through the markets to get to the riad. Streets are not lit very well at night. But location great just jn the middle of the markets.

The property was beautiful, and they had 2 sweet cats living in the riad, it was very clean, and the staff were very nice and helpful with everything, we got welcomed with tea on arrival, and the chef made us breakfast to take with us very early when we were leaving for the airport, which was very thoughtful. they went above and beyond and were so kind and helpful, if i come to marrakech again i will stay here again! 😁 The food was amazing and very good value for money. Thank you to the staff and the chef! -Keita and clinton 14/07/24-18/07/24

Everything was great at the hotel from Staff to the facilities to the tasty food. We had lunch and breakfasts at the hotel. The staff really has to be commended for their helpfulness, friendliness and simply very accommodating to us. We also particularly enjoyed our private tour in the souks with the guide provided by the hotel. The guide really went over and above to host us that day and he genuinely was proud to talk to us about his country.

We did find the Spa treatment at the hotel can be improved by being slightly gentler and for the staff to be more aware of the guests' belongings as one of our hats was splashed with massage oils in the dark room. We also faced difficulties with the Agafay tour booked in the last day. The pick up was late, the lunch was late and the return journey was quite eventful. I would suggest that perhaps the hotel to find a different provider for this specific tour.
