Le Riad Monceau

The staff were exceptional and went above and beyond to ensure a great stay. The staff will escort you to/from certain pickup points if you are unfamiliar with the area. Many people commented this was not the case in all hotels. Since you cannot drive to the front of the hotel, we were dropped off in Medina Market and someone escorted us with our luggage in a cart.

My daughter and I stayed here for three nights Saturday to Tuesday. We booked our airport transfers with the Riad and it was excellent, I would highly recommend. We received a warm and friendly welcome from the staff on arrival with mint tea and little pastries which, after queuing at the airport for almost two hours, was extremely welcome. Our room was spacious and very comfortable with bottled water and a bowl of fruit to welcome us plus fresh roses. Breakfast was excellent and plentiful, a good start to our hectic stay. On the second morning we had a Spa package which was absolutely delightful and relaxing, I highly recommend but I would book it before your arrival. We didn’t have dinner at the Riad as we had booked two of our favourite restaurants but next time we will definitely eat at Riad Monceau as the food looked very good. Now for the not so good, there is live music every evening which we didn’t mind as the entertainment was good. What wasn’t good was the clearing up after the diners had left, the floors are tiled and so the noise from moving chairs and tables, clearing away dishes and cutlery, was loud and went on until around 1.00am. Fortunately my earplugs kept out the noise but my daughters didn’t. My suggestion is to definitely take good earplugs with you. We really enjoyed our stay as it’s a comfortable Riad, lovely staff and well situated.

We had an awesome time in Marrakech and we attribute that largely to Le Riad Monceau. The staff were incredibly accommodating from helping us get to our driver at 4:30am for the hot air balloon ride to dinner reservations at both of the great on-site restaurants. The hotel is beautifully decorated and live music with perfect atmosphere. The location is also centrally located in the souk close to Jemma El Fnna (central square). We highly recommend staying with Le Riad Monceau when in Marrakech.
