Beautiful secluded Riad, Bistro Aribe is a must

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.

Noisy jazz club and restaurant

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.

This property is very close to the Medina. It's beautiful inside with a nice courtyard and rooftop. Evenings are very busy. Reserve your table as there is lot of crowd visiting the restaurant in the evenings. Staff is very friendly. They have live music till 11pm. If you want to sleep before 11pm it may not be calm.

Beautiful riad in the heart of Marrakesh

Excellent, friendly welcome, given mint tea and pastries on arrival. Live entertainment every night in the courtyard. Great breakfast with friendly service.

.

The staff were amazing. Food was nice. Bed very comfortable. The shower was a bit cold for my liking though.

This is a very nice Riad- very convenient near the square and if you pay to have a driver pick you up (do this), they carry your bags to the riad from the square. It’s not far. However, confirm the car with them close to your travel date because the car did not come for me initially, I had to have another person call the hotel for me. Also you will be able to hear fairly loud jazz music coming reom the courtyard into your room until around 10:30-11 each night. The staff are incredibly friendly though and the rooms are very nice. I would recommend this road.

The Best Hotel with the Best food and shows

One of the nicest hotel I have ever stayed at… but don’t not expect to sleep too much if you are a light sleeper. It is in the middle of the medina and it is the most fantastic restaurant/jazz club in the evening. We ate every evening at the hotel as the food was fabulous and the bands/dancing and entertainment was out of this world. The compromise is it’s busy all the time and in the morning they are preparing for the next show. We were offered another room but we were only there for 3 nights so declined. That said we had the best time and loved the place and would highly recommend it. As hotel guests you get treated like royalty with best seats in the house and great service. The concierge was so good he organised so much for us and nothing was too much trouble he made our stay so easy. We did a guided tour which was excellent but beware you may get ushered into a carpet/furniture shop and spice shop and get the hard sell.. we needed a new suitcase. You can say No but it is hard ..

Rather than a hotel is more like a bar with some rooms

Great staff very helpful

I loved the experience. Amazing facilities and very friendly staff. It was expected to be a little noisy and it was but nothing excessive. I loved the spa. The place is a must in Medina

Fantastic hotel with restaurants

Fantastic, friendly staff in a typically beautiful, traditional Moroccan building. . Attached restaurants/jazz club were amazing.

Truely unique experience with extremely helpful and friendly staff.

This was the first time we stayed at a riad in M’kesh. We have always stayed in a large hotel. So this review unfortunately reflects the differences between the two and our obvious preference for a hotel. The Monceau is charming and the staff are friendly. Our room was equipped with all the modern conveniences, and the bathroom was amazing. Our bed had seen better days and the mattress was not as comfortable as I would’ve liked. The riad had a band playing in the center courtyard from mid afternoon til late night, and because of the riad structure, you heard it all!! So if you want peace and quiet after a long day, you could not get it! That’s my main complaint. In a big hotel, you can retire to your room and be secluded from the hub bub. So, it’s just a matter of preference. The Monceau is also a small riad, so navigating the common areas is also very tight. Finally, the breakfast doesn’t offer as many options as a big hotel, and the coffee options were limited and not very good! Its close proximity to the Medina was a huge plus however. Overall, the Monceau was clean and charming, but as a matter of preference, I would rather stay in an actual hotel versus a riad in the future.

Fantastic hotel. Staff were excellent and accommodating and helped us organise transfers too and from Airport and even helped us arrange a tour to the Atlas Mountains with a local agent. The food at both restaurants were amazing. We did the Cooking class and spa and I would recommend this highly.

It is a very beautiful hotel with a lot of local character and good service, but it is quite inaccessible and hard to find for first time visitors.

great property in the Medina (old town) and helpful and friendly staff

Beautiful property. Live music every night. Excellent dining options.

Beautiful property. Center of everything. Amazing staff.

Super spot for an extraordinary late night !! Best restaurant in the area!! Noisy at night, but that is what you are paying for !! Best spot in town!!

This stay was a beautiful and different experience for us!

This Riad is in an amazing location and is a beautiful building. The staff were incredible and went above and beyond. Our only comment to future people that stay is that the music/noise doesn’t start to die down until 11:30. We really enjoyed music and the atmosphere most nights however there were times when we wanted a more peaceful night and this was not possible. However we do not feel that this is something to stop you going but just to be aware of prior to booking. We would happily recommend this to anyone that visits Marrakech.

The Riad Monceau was one of the best hotel experiences I have had. Room was excellent. Service was impeccable and the dinners were fantastic. We ate there two nights and the food/wine were great…. But the bands really made the night. Can’t say enough about this place. Highly recommended !!!!!

Employees are very cordial and willing keep customers very happy

Staff was amazing

A true 5-star experience, with extremely hospitable and polite staff. Abdelhaq went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable throughout our stay. They also offer cooking classes and spa which are incredible, and the restaurants are top quality.

Service exceeded my expectations. However it was hard to locate as you cant drive to front entrance. You have to walk through the souk with your luggage and its in back like alley. HOWEVER , i had the most amazing hammam & facial. The evening entertainment was great ! Was able to get pool side dining . The views were great.

Very nice

This is a charming little Riad. Excellent staff and very cool hotel. Jazz in the evening and a great rooftop restaurant. Close to the marketplace and walking distance to most places. Will definitely be there again

The staff at this Riad were incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. The rooms were immaculate and very comfortable. We also enjoyed the delicious breakfast each morning and loved the convenient location close to major attractions."

The staff was wonderful totally made you feel like family, everyone was willing to answer any questions about the area or things to do.The entertainment at Arabe was excellent. A little noisy at times for me as a light sleeper and beds could be upgraded for more comfort. Despite the noise and bed comfort. I would stay here again because the people & food were so wonderful!

Had a great stay! Staff was really helpful ,loved the room.Would love to come back!

Amazing location, beautiful property with delicious food options and very friendly staff. Highly recommend!

On arrival to Riad Monceau check in was seamless. We were provided with mint tea and snacks and then taken to Room Pacha the room we would be staying in for the next few days. Hospitality was amazing across the board and the Hamman at the on site Spa was wonderful.

For this being my first time in Morocco, I was extremely pleased with everybody at the hotel. It was extremely hospitable. The staff was lovely very attentive to all of our needs and help us as much as we possibly could. I will definitely be coming back to Morocco and this will be on my place to stay list.

Riad in Marrakwsh

Excellent staff and friendly, awesome service. My original room was very small, I asked to see if there was a better room, the. Staff upgraded however did not inform that the upgrade would cost, found out at checkout time.

The room was smelling Couldn’t sleep Good thing was that the staff were all friendly

Management and staff were excellent!

Very nice place

The most amazing place that I have been to, especially given the cost. The service was top-notch... I wouldn't be surprised if they offered to drive us back to the States. The room was clean, the atmosphere was electric (but quiet when we needed to sleep), and the breakfast was amazing. Still... the service... it was on-par with 5 star hotels. I do not typically write reviews, but these guys deserve it. My only advice would be to find how to get there BEFORE going, as the Riads are a maze. Regardless, I cannot speak highly enough about Le Riad Monceau. We will be staying there if we find ourselves in Marrakech again.

Noise, noise, and more noise

Worst hotel stay of my life!

The staff was very welcoming, spa was amazing, restaurant was 10/10, the rooftop bar was nice too.

Great location, good restaurants, amazing staff.

Beautiful stay

We had a great stay at Riad Le Monceau! The service was top notch! I can’t stress enough how amazing the service was. Everyone was so helpful and welcoming especially the front desk! The food was fantastic as was the jazz nights. It was definitely the place to be on any given night. Walking distance to all the major sites.

Fabulous place to stay

I have just come back from a fabulous 3 night stay at Le Riad Monceau. All of the staff were so friendly and helpful, the breakfast was delicious and plentiful, and the room was very comfortable. We also had a hammam and massage in the spa, which was absolutely AMAZING!!! One slightly negative thing to note, is if you want an early nights sleep this is not possible. The live music does not finish until 11pm, and then by the time everyone leaves it's almost midnight. Then the staff are cleaning and clearing away which is noisy and lasts until around 12:30-1am.

Espectacular hotel with a lot of options and amenities within the riad. We really enjoyed our stay there. The staff are incredible and always trying to make you happy and satisfied. Love it!!!

It has a great location, great restaurant and bars as a part of the property. The spa is really amazing as well

Beautiful property but the staff are what makes this gem and it start a the Top with Abdelhark.

An Excellent Experience in Marrakesh

It was a Riad Hotel with the rooms built around the courtyard on many levels. Overall was an excellent place to stay with an inhouse restaurant that had a great menu and there was live entertainment that played till 11 pm and then shut down. Overall an excellent experience and I would recommend this place to anyone. Only negative is that you have to walk a couple hundred meters to get to this place as there is no drive up access for those that have mobility issues.

Best service ever! Every staff member goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome

The staff were very attentive and kind. Clean rooms and an all round great place to stay. Loved the jazz music in the evenings with two great options to dine at. It’s in an ideal location for getting around the Medina and visiting key attractions.

March 24

Great hotel super helpful and friendly staff perfect location and great food - great rooftop Bar with live music nightly. It was our 2nd stay in this hotel and will definitely go back

Had the most amazing stay at Le Riad Monceau. The rooms are beautiful and food in La Pergola rooftop restaurant was spectacular. We didn’t eat anywhere else. Le Riad staff are very helpful and arranged a driver and a guide was us. If I returned to Marrakech this would be the only place I would stay. Fantastic holiday

Great location close to the heart of the medina. Staff very friendly and helpful. They helped us book two very fun excursions, as well as a private car to Casablanca and everything went smoothly and was enjoyable. Breakfast is great - every day there is a special moroccan treat in addition to a very generous meal of pastries, fruit and eggs. Only caveats are that since there is a jazz bar and restaurants on the roof and in the courtyard, it is very noisy until about midnight. By noon they begin getting ready around the riad for the lunch and dinner crowd and start playing music over the speakers. So it is not a peaceful environment and only stay there if you won't mind that. Only other drawback was that the water pressure in the shower is very low - sometimes down to a trickle. But not sure if that is just this hotel or a problem for all hotels in the area.

Lovely property. Riad Monceau stands out for it's dining/bar options. People come from all around Marrakesh to enjoy jazz at Le Bistro Arabe and the rooftop bar, La Pergola. In fact, you should be aware the property is full of visiting patrons from the late afternoon through 11PM. The food at both options is great, as is the service. The location is also fairly central, just 5 minutes from the main square. The only warning I will make, is that it can get noisy in the evening and you can hear people moving about on the rooftop restaurant in your room. It's like living in an apartment with a noisy neighbor above you. Otherwise, we had a great time and would return.

A Lovley Riad close to the main market square. Had internet access, European toilets & European breakfast. Staff were great and really helpful. Be mindful there is a music playing late until 23:00 most nights so you wont get much sleep before then.

It was fun. The staff was amazing. But it was noisy. The kitchen was right above my bed.

The restaurants in the property and to have walking access to sites were a big plus

Cute and nicely decorated Riad inside the Medina but NOT a 5*. It’s close to the main square and all the souks. Location is great if you don’t mind small alleyways. THINGS WE DON’T LIKE -no phones in the rooms which means you cannot call the front desk if you have an emergency or need anything. This is a big safety concern. I told the staff about the safety concern and she said no worries because there are never any emergencies. Really?!? -lock to the rooms are dead bolts which means you need a key to leave the room. My husband left with our only key and I was stuck in the room and they only give you 1 key. I couldn’t call front desk because no phone in the room -water pressure is very weak and hot water trickles. Hard to shower with cold water -had to track down staff to open up the breakfast area even though it was 30 minutes past the time breakfast was supposed to start We paid 5 star prices for a property that was not worth it. If safety is important to you, stay elsewhere!

Unfortunately my experience was not pleasant, firstly I emailed the hotel before arriving to confirm the airport transfer I paid for and never received a response, so I had to phone them in transit. After travelling 30 hours, I arrived to check in and was told by the young lady to take a seat, I sat there for 20 mins and asked her “what am I waiting for please” as I had a Xmas lunch to get to. She said, “your room is not ready, and I thought you were drinking your tea”, I said “no, I don’t like tea” - I then asked if I could freshen up somewhere as I had plans and was made to wait another 20 mins. The young girl was rude and abusing me and I repeatedly had to ask her to please leave me alone. The music from the jazz bar in the riad doesn’t finish until 11pm so good luck getting an early sleep after a long day of travelling!

The best part about the hotel was the service and the staff. They were extremely nice, accommodating and helpful. They gave us a room upgrade, brought us breakfast to the room because my daughter was feeling cold in the breakfast area, helped us with a doctor when my daughter was sick and overall were so warm and courteous that made our stay very pleasant. The riad is very beautiful and has live music in evenings. Very close to the main square as well. Great location. Minor nit: Breakfast area can get a little cold in winters

This Riad is a 3 start Riad claiming to be a 5 star. It's success is entirely dependent upon it's excellent staff otherwise everything is very basic. First of all we had to walk 20 minutes going in circles asking various people about it but we couldn't find it as everyone sent us in opposite direction and it's not easy to find really. Room: No Windows or exhaust in the bathroom so smells linger for ages and old smelly sewerage adding to this problem! Water stands in the tub because it's a handmade tub with uneven slopes so the poor functionality overrules deco. There is no bidet (5 Star?). Noisy room: Throughout our stay we had to make regular requests to reception to stop the furniture dragging going on above our room at the restaurant and then they would start again at midnight and very early morning! Overall noise insulation is poor, you could hear everything from outside so I am sure they heard us too! Breakfast: Continental breakfast really, not even eggs are included (you must pay extra - 5 Star!)

So so stunning and romantic!

We were blown away at the courtyard. It's incredibly romantic and beautiful!!! The entire hotel is just gorgeous. We loved it and want to come again. The staff were so lovely and went out their way to help us for so many things. Shout out to Mohammed for his kind service at every breakfast he's great.

Very intimate and excellent care for their guests. Above and beyond expectations.

The services and amenities of this place were beyond our expectation for a last-minute reservation. The premises was elegantly decorated and well-maintained. The location of the property is extremely convenient in the medina and very accessible from the main streets. We were appreciative of the service that the riad provided - they had someone come out to meet us at the car and assisted with our luggage which was a street away from their entrance. The breakfast spread was phenomenal, and the daily jazz music was marvelous. We highly recommend this place for a romantic getaway.

You must stay at a Riad when in Marrakech and must stay here. I have travelled around the world and stayed at the fanciest 5 stars hotels however Le Riad Monceau comes straight out of the movies glamour! Nothing like it - ANYWHERE! It is truly the most magical place to stay when in Marrakech. The minute you walk into this Jazz Hotel you feel like you have walked into another world. With only 10 rooms here - you're lucky if you can book here! There are two incredible restaurants! Le Bistro Arab - exquisite restaurant surrounded by a pool and live Jazz with an ambiance that is like no other. You also have an extradorinaiy more casual restaurant on the second floor again filled with ambiance, lighting, outdoors, amazing food! Then there are 3 roof top private areas one floor higher giving you views of Marrakech! The Riad is 3 min walk to Jemma el Naff square so you are in the heart of all the action! The music stops at 11am so you can get a peaceful sleep after that time. Otherwise you have your own private concert from either the two restaurants or from your rooms! We tried 3 different rooms from standard to one of their jacuzzi suites...the jacuzzi suite is not your regular jacuzzi. The bath room and jacuzzi made you feel like you were a royal Arabian Prince or Princess. We never made it to their spa and haman but it looked amazing! The most important quality that we loved is that EVERYONE made you feel like family! From the top down! 5 STAR in every way! GLAMOUR! xo

A beautiful Riad, excellent in all respects with especially helpful and friendly staff. Occasionally architecture and design do play second fiddle to practicality. Very well located, and everything of the highest standard.

The staff at Le Riad Monceau were welcoming, kind and helpful. I would definitely recommend this location and oasis of a Riad for a stay in Marrakech.

Beautiful hotel with great service and close proximity to the Medina. Highly recommend staying here.

Le Riad Monceau was our Oasis from the frenzy of the Souks & the Medina which are minutes away. Wonderful environment focused on high level customer service, with exceptional food & beverage offerings. Live music every evening until 11pm in proximity of rooms, so need to enjoy that.

Everything was perfect in our stay. We really love it!

Amazing stay. Wonderful staff. Caring and attentive from the top to the bottom. A real team effort with nothing too much trouble. Good brilliant. Jazz bar perfect for atmosphere. I cannot rate this Riad highly enough. It was a shame to leave!

The whole team at Riad Monceau were wonderful!! Even though we arrived on a major national holiday, Hosni welcomed us with a traditional holiday snack and treated us like family. Thank you, Hosni!! We hope to be back soon!!

A classy gem not far from the Djemaa El-Fna square. Two restaurants, one of which is a jazz club in the evening looking down on the small pool in the courtyard. Rooms were comfortable and well-decorated in Moroccan style with (thankfully!) air conditioning. Staff was very friendly and hospitable, and spoke English, French and Arabic. Food was delicious, and good drinks at the bar. Quirky bit of charm: the rooms are named, not numbered.

Second stay at Monceau - great jazz evening entertainment, rooms were clean and comfortable.

Amazing Riad in the heart of the old Medina. Bistro Arabe and La Pergola are the cherries on top for amazing food, live jazz music, and a cool rooftop.

Not a 5 Star

Decent service. Great restaurant (Bistro Arabe). Very noisy. Hotel staff is friendly but do so with interest. Always looking for tips. Incessantly and aggressively. Recommend for location and restaurant. Experience was average. Would not return.

Our stay at Riad Monceau was amazing!!! The staff were all great! They have the absolute best rooftop in the Medina and I visited quite a few during my stay. If you enjoy good music and live bands, you will not be disappointed. The spa was the best as my husband and I received the Hammam body scrub/facial/massage. It was worth every second. The staff were also very accommodating to make space for me to do my workout exercises next to the jacuzzi on the roof and it was all private (I will tag you my workout video on IG). That said, I do not know when my husband and I will return to Marrakech but when we do, it will be here! Thank you all!!!! We sincerely miss all of the wonderful staff. Sincerely, Andria and Byron 😊

We wanted to stay in a Riad whilst in Marrakesh. We decided to stay at Riad Monceau from the amazing pictures and reviews. Airport pick up was arranged by Marc. Communication before our trip was excellent from Marc. Once we arranged we were greeted by amazing ,friendly, courteous and very helpful staff. Our room was perfect in every way ! It was kept clean by the lovely staff and decorated with lovely rose petals. We were given lovely mint tea and cold refreshments on arrival. During our stay everyone treated us as though we were the only people in the Riad; we felt very much welcomed and relaxed. We had the pleasure of 2 amazing restaurants located in the Riad; La Pergola and Le Bistro Arabe. Amazing food, drinks and the most amazing service from all the staff. We had the the hammam at the Riad; definitely recommend. We did the cooking class; the chef was amazing and we can both now make a delicious tangine, would definitely recommend. We would definitely recommend this Riad; located a few mins walk to Djemaa El Fna , the medina, Bahir Palace and Koutoubia Mosque. Thank you to everyone from making our stay so wonderful. Thanks to the amazing kitchen staff, waiting staff and reception staff ; Hosni, Ayoub,Abdep and Abbepkarim. Thank you, hope to see you all again soon Mr Mrs R Ramkumar

When we got back to the riad after our dinner, we were waiting outside knocking on the door and buzzing the ringer for 20 mins and no one opened the door. This was at 1230am local time and in a very dark area. It felt unsafe at that moment. We had to call the riad for them to come and open the door. The staff are unprofessional. The water for the shower barely has any pressure on it and took 10-15 mins to warm up. The wifi here is extremely slow, and the moment you do have internet it disconnects from the server every 30 mins which forces you to reconnnect. There’s bugs flying around in the room. Not enough towels for two people. The bed is extremely uncomfortable where you can feel the springs. I will not recommend this riad to anyone there are many other options. Please save your time and effort. We definitely wish we did. We’re a young couple and we have stayed at other riads and we only ask for the basics. This is not it.

Riad Monceau-lovely!

Lovely Riad and well situated in the medina Staff were lovely, couldn’t be more helpful, nothing too much trouble and always smiling and cheerful Small Riad, only 10 rooms so like a small boutique hotel Place had a great buzz with the roof top bar and music every night but not too loud or overbearing- would highly recommend it

A luxury oasis of calm amongst the frenzy that is Marrakech. The staff were lovely- very helpful and eager to make sure we were enjoying our stay. The restaurant and bar area very good. Live music every night which is a feature of this boutique Riad that focuses on jazz and contemporary Arabic music. Would highly recommend.

The staff dedication and willingness to make it a special trip for their customers is excellent! You feel so welcomed and looked after

-This hotel does not understand the concept of peace and quiet as the live loud music starts around 8 - 11 pm every single day ! It is so loud that we had to use noise cancelling headphones and stay up late !!! I guess they make most of their business from the 2 restaurants and bar so they cater to them with the live music , but this is a hotel not a night club ! ( there is no mention on Orbitz about the nightly music ). -Corridors are narrow as well as the stairs that are very steep too ( dangerous ) -It is located inside the old town so you have to take your luggage where the taxi drops you off at a nearby square and then pull them through narrow busy alleys till you reach it . -No phone in the room so if you have an emergency or got a heart attack or something you need to go downstairs yourself ! -We decided to cut our 4 nights stay to just 2 nights because of all the noise and difficulty reaching especially at night when it is difficult to navigate through these complicated convoluted alleys but when we tried to contact the manager to cancel the rest of our days he sent us his deputy who said they can't refund us the money but can give us an better room the next day but we didn't want that just a refund which Orbitz asked them for but they still refused . -We left the hotel anyway and lost the 2 days left plus the new hotel fees. Thanks a lot to the manager Abdel Haq for caring about the money than your guests comfort and hotel reputation.

I fully recommend staying at this property. The Riads location is perfect and extremely walkable. The staff is extremely friendly and we received some of the best service we’ve ever gotten. Hosni was especially hospitable and made us feel welcome. We will definitely be back the next time we’re in Marrakech.

We just returned from a magical week in Marrakech! We stayed seven nights at the Le Riad Monceau, and it was just perfect! It was exactly what I envisioned and more. The staff is incredibly helpful, trustworthy, and kind, and they make you feel very at home. They helped me with logistics, planning excursions, lining up transportation, getting to the airport early in the morning, dinner recommendations and bookings - the list goes on and on. I visited with my 16-year-old daughter on her school break, and we felt very safe and loved the location of the Riad. I highly recommend! The jazz at night was a lovely way to enjoy an hour or two in the evening before going out! The onsite 1st-floor restaurant is delicious, and the hammam spa and cooking class combination should not be missed. I plan to return and make this lovely Riad my home base in the future.

The Riad itself is nicer in real life, the courtyard was beautiful. The location is great. The staff were really welcoming and helpful. We had breakfast every morning in the courtyard and dinner one evening, all of it was good. There’s a jazz band playing every night until 11pm so it’s got quite a vibrant atmosphere.

My son and I stayed for two nights during our stay in Marrakech before leaving for the desert. We had a wonderful time, and would be glad to stay again if we return to Marrakech. The rooms are immaculate with inspired decoration, breakfast was great and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The live music was appreciated and for those who value their rest, at 11pm when the music stops, you can hear a pin drop! Again super place and thank you again!

This riad is well-kept and organised and the food is good, especially the Moroccan breakfast which has plenty of choice. The staff are very friendly and helpful - from the mint tea which was organised to greet us on arrival to the proactive rearrangement of our airport transfer to make it more convenient for us. Abdel, the general manager, was very attentive and keen to make sure all aspects of our stay went well. The riad is busy as it is open to other diners, which gives it a buzz, and a small jazz band plays every night in the courtyard which creates a lively atmosphere. It is very close to the main Jemaa el-Fnaa square (5 min walk) and other tourist attractions in Marrakech (eg El Badi and Bahia Palaces etc) are accessible on foot from the riad.

We had a fabulous stay at this Riad, would highly recommend and would definitely visit again. Hosni and Fati on reception were extremely helpful and the service and food at breakfast (served by Ihsane and Ayoub) was excellent and delicious! The Riad was beautifully decorated and the restaurant had live music every night which really added to our stay. Also, the location was brilliant, just 2 minutes from the main central square. Thank you so much to Riad Monceau for making our stay in Marrakech truly memorable and remarkable! Definitely 10 out of 10!

We loved Le Riad Monceau! The staff were incredibly friendly & helpful. They took great care of us, helping us navigate to different areas in the Medina & meet up with our tour guides. They also were so helpful in coordinating transit to other locations we were staying. We felt so welcome & the rooftop restaurant La Pergola is so fun! The location is perfect (<5 min walk to the main square in the Medina) & with two different entrances, it's super easy to find.

Monceau 2023

Lovely Riad with helpful staff

The location of the hotel is excellent and the staff and management were also excellent. The staff just couldn't do enough for us. However, the only negative I have is that if you are of a certain age and just want to relax it is not the best place to be. The jazz music which is played nightly until late is wonderful for those who appreciate jazz and don't mind staying up late. Also, there is no place to swim if that is what you would enjoy doing. Overall, it is a nice place, with a warm and friendly atmosphere.

A unique Riaf

The service and attentiveness of the staff is top! This riad is very different to most - they have a live jazz band playing every evening (if you want to relax and have a quiet room best to request this) The cooking experience was brilliant!

My experience at Le Riad Monceau was literally PERFECT. This riad is not only gorgeous, it has everything from a spa to live jazz shows at dinner in the restaurant on the first level. There’s also a roof level bar with food. The rooms are clean, comfortable and the decor is lovely and the overall Riad has a nice vibe. The staff is exceptional, and I mean everyone. They were all so nice and pleasant. Houssni was super helpful and made sure my friend and helped us coordinate reservations and transpiration. The owner was not only nice but you can also tell has good leadership and hires the best people. When I’m back in Marrakech, this will be the only place I stay and recommend to everyone!

Great place to stay to explore Marrakesh with a fantastic restaurant and roof top bar. Staff were really friendly and helpful - we will return!
