Le Riad Monceau

Such a beautiful, cozy, comfy hotel! It was totally charming, the staff was delightful, the location was perfect, and I would definitely stay there again.

One of the best vacation we had for a long time. We have been traveling quite often and been to many different countries before. We were most impressed by the management staffs especially Zakarya manager who was very attentive and friendly. I highly recommend asking her to help you on your stay. The dinner staffs are also extremely nice especially the waiter Aumaima giving us a very memorable dinner. The captain and the hostess are also extraordinary and so surprised they kindly thank you in words and not accepting our tips, which is very unusually in Morocco. I personally think excellent services deserve monetary encouragement. The hotel really hires good managers. Thank you for the enjoyable stay and memorable services in Morocco. John and Eva

We booked 4 nights in the honeymoon suite at Riad Monceau but left after one night due to serious concerns with the condition + safety of the room. The suite includes an in-room hot tub but has almost no ventilation—just a small extractor fan and an open hole in the wardrobe wall connecting the bathroom and bedroom. The bathroom walls and ceiling were extensively covered in black mould, and the entire suite felt and smelt extremely damp + foetid, including the bedding and furnishings. The hot tub ran constantly with no guest-accessible controls, and when we attempted to use it, my partner suffered minor burns from the scalding water. Staff shut it off via a hidden circuit breaker, and the manager sent burn cream when contacted. While staff were polite and apologetic at the time, when we chased up the refund of the remaining nights, a refund was refused, and hotels.com have been unable to resolve for us. We were offered a different room, but given this was the state of the property’s flagship suite, we had no confidence in the rest of the accommodation. The riad itself has charm — the bar and restaurant are stylish, and the atmosphere in the evenings is lively — but as a hotel, I would strongly suggest avoiding. One final note: the honeymoon suite is located directly beneath the rooftop bar. there was a lot of noise from staff packing down until around 1:00 a.m. Overall, this was a deeply disappointing and uncomfortable experience, and the room was frankly unsafe.

I think this was the best hotel experience I’ve ever enjoyed. The service was exceptional, the people lovely, the room was spotless and the whole atmosphere of the hotel was perfect. It truly is an oasis from the chaos of Marrakesh, and felt so relaxing to come back there knowing we had such amazing comfort awaiting us! And the added bonus of music and entertainment every evening just topped it off beautifully - as others queued up for access to the bar and restaurant we were treated like royalty as guests, and afforded every luxury.

Great property.. close and walkable to all tourist area. Really helpful and great staff. Food and ambience at le arabe restaurant was great

We really enjoyed our stay at La Riad Monceau. Everyone who works there is so friendly and helpful. The driver was waiting for us at the airport, then the porter was waiting for us at the drop off point to take our luggage and guide us to the Riad, and then we were welcomed with tea/sweet treats and info about Marrakech from the hotel host. The location is perfect. It’s a close walk to Jemma El Fna square which is a great jumping off point for each day. We asked for a walking tour guide for our first day and a private driver to take us to the desert and then Fes, and they happily arranged it all for us. We really enjoyed the Hammam and rooftop jacuzzi and all of the restaurant/bars in the Riad as well. They will always accommodate you at the restaurants even though there is a line up out the door and down the alley every night. They have a live jazz band each night which we loved but you can hear from your room so if you are sensitive to noise, keep that in mind (however it ends at a reasonable time each night). Everything is perfectly clean and well maintained, and there is a great breakfast each morning. Overall we would happily stay again if we were to visit Marrakech again.

The hotel and the staff especially Charma was most accommodating and made our stay perfect we will back soon

Amazing staff, location, decor and vibe.

Staff were exceptional, always checking that everything was ok and whether we needed anything. Room was great and the bar & restaurant was excellent - always busy but staff always found a table for us Would very highly recommend

The entire staff at Riad Monceau were awesome. The food at both restaurants was impeccable and the jazz music was not to be missed. The property was clean and very safe and convenient. We had an amazing time at Riad Monceau.

This riad is gorgeous and the staff is impeccable. The location is excellent. The music can be very loud from 8-11pm every night but if you don’t like to go to bed early it’s the perfect spot!

From the moment we arrived the service was amazing - nothing was too much trouble. Tea on a balcony listening to Jazz was a real highlight - only topped by exclusive access to their rooftop jacuzzi- with cocktails ❤️

Le Riad Monceau was an absolute gem in the heart of Marrakesh! From the moment I arrived to the moment I left, the service was impeccable. The staff went above and beyond, and I have to give a special shoutout to the young lady who checked me in—she was amazing! (I wish I could remember her name, but she’s in my video!) The location is unbeatable—right in the middle of everything, making it easy to explore the vibrant souks, historical sites, and buzzing nightlife. Staying here truly felt like being immersed in the culture and energy of Marrakesh. Highly recommend!

Staying at Le Riad Monceau was like walking into a secret heaven. The smell of rose fragrance enchanted my senses as we walked in the door along with the moroccan decor. I felt a sense of peace and ease upon entering. We were greeted with the traditional Moroccan mint tea (which I love) and cookies. One of the cookies (Zwina) had a hint of cinnamon which is my favorite. Hosni provided us such comfort in welcoming my son and I. He made our stay feel like we were at home! We were immediately upgraded (Hosni was too sweet , I was in Awe) to a suite room with a jacuzzi! I didn't even mention prior that I was celebrating my birthday! It was really a gift to experience such luxury! My son was thrilled (I was introducing him to his moroccan roots)! We never had a room with a jacuzzi! I tried the haman oriental massage for the first time and it was so relaxing. In the morning we had a traditional moroccan style breakfast sitting by the pool in the middle of the Riad. The entire experience was magical! The location of the Riad is perfect for easy navigation to the medina. I would highly recommemd staying here and dip your toes in luxury.

A very special stay. As our first Riad experience we can hope but probably not experience such an authentic stay. What made it more special over and above the attentive service was the hamam, and the in incredibly vibey Bistro Aribe with its evening show. Dining here is a must for any stay

Le Riad Monceau is a great place to stay. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was terrific. The restaurant and bar upstairs were very nice. The location is perfect - close to the main square and everything that makes Marrakesh unique. One caveat - if you don't want to hear loud jazz music from 8-11 every night, reconsider. Jazz is an important part of Le Riad. Otherwise, I recommend this wonderful place in a wonderful city.

As other reviews have said this is a jazz club with a few rooms attached. It is not mentioned in the hotels.com description that there is live music from 8pm to 11pm every single night. The venue doesn’t get quiet until 11:30pm. It is especially noisy if you have one of the rooms facing on to the main restaurant area. Our first room was on the staircase to the restaurant and so people were walking noisy by the door every few minutes. The other riads we stayed at in Marrakech and Fes during our trip were very peaceful places to relax after a day sightseeing, this one was definitely not. We asked to be moved to a quieter room which the staff arranged although we had to go and remind the porter to bring our luggage over. The first room had a very lumpy duvet which clearly had been washed and not dried properly. This should have been spotted by housekeeping. The other 5 star riad we stayed at in Marrakech was better than this one. The staff were good, especially the female receptionist who was very friendly and welcoming. We had dinner in the restaurant and the food and drinks were great but it was overpriced. Breakfast was very good.

The property boasts two restaurants and a Jazz quartet every night until 11:00 pm. If you are looking for a quiet esthetic this is not the place for you. It is walking distance to shopping and restaurants in the Jemaa El Fna. The staff are very attentive, but do work on "Marrakech time". The only sour note was the missed booking for our hotel to airport shuttle which lead to a late departure from the hotel/Rhiad early Saturday morning. The vehicle pickup is a few hundred meters. from the hotel which forces you to walk with luggage to your pickup. However, the staff will dolly your luggage for you and lead you to the pickup point. It's an old world experience with all the trappings of a new world stay. Very enjoyable. My only disparaging point is the beds are not cushioned and have very little give. If you have any back issues you will notice them immediately.

Hosni the front desk employee was very helpful. He recommended the best restaurant,tours,and best jewelry store.
