What Our Guests Say
The Riad is in a perfect location: very close to the Medina and all main museums but at the same time in a very quiet area of Marrakech, very safe and far from the noise also at night. Breakfast is delicious and really keeps your belly satisfied for several hours while exploring the city. H’mmad and Hamza are wonderful hosts that will do anything to let you feel at home. They are also very knowledgeable and will share precious tips for your visit. Definitely a place where I would come back!

I liked everything about this Riad. Especially the owners, H’mmad and Hamza, they were super attentive, helpful, and friendly with me. They really took care of me and I felt at home there all the time. It was perfect. Breakfast was AWESOME, the beds were super comfy and I loved the rooftop terrace. I had to work some days and staying up there with my laptop was really nice, the perfect spot to work and feel at vacation at the same time. Thank you guys for everything, I would always always recommend you and for sure if I come back to Marrakesh I will definitely come back here! Gracias!!!!
Carorrego, Chile
The service was amazing, the front desk guy was so nice with us, he helped us a lot with all the troubles that we got as tourist, the Riad facilities are nice and it’s very close to the Medina
Good value for money. Friendly and helpful staff, very clean and comfortable rooms. Terrace and courtyard are beautiful, and the breakfast always comes in large portions. Location wise is walking distance to most attractions of Marrakech.
We stayed recently at this fantastic riad. Breakfast was great, the room was kept squeaky clean with daily cleaning, and the location was perfect - far enough from the busier streets that we couldn't hear anything but only a short walk into the hustle and bustle of Marrakech.
It was an exceptional experience. Without a doubt, if we return to Marrakech, we would repeat Riad.The treatment of all the staff with us at all times was excellent, super attentive and friendly.Furthermore, on the last day our plane left in the afternoon and despite having left the room, they kept our suitcases and let us rest on the common terrace.
An absolutely stunning modern Riad that exceeded all expectations! Impeccably clean, with the owner’s attentiveness being nothing short of extraordinary. Conveniently located and always available, H’mmad goes above and beyond with his excellent recommendations. He ensures you’re not just well taken care of, but truly pampered and comfortable throughout your stay. A must-visit gem!
Very good place to have a complete experience in Morocco, although it is true the place is in the center and the area is a little chaotic, the place is super quiet and very beautiful, the guy's attention is very good, always willing to answer questions and help, the breakfast service was excellent, everything was very typical of the place, and I really liked the experience in this place, highly recommended.
We spent 2 nights there and it was the best part of Marrakech. Rooms are clean, big and well decorated. Our reservation included breakfast, most of the options were traditional and delicious. Location is also pretty close to popular attractions. Ahmed speaks good English and he is really nice and welcoming. It was really good riad experience I totally recommend!
The Riad is very nice, very clean rooms, breakfast is served on the terrace and is abundant
Simply beautiful. Everything very clean and new, tastefully decorated and super quiet and cozy. Ahmed took care of us and made us feel at home. Spectacular breakfast.
Very friendly and helpful staff. Very quiet area and 5 minutes from the Palais de la Bahia. The breakfast is delicious and very complete.
From a Portuguese couple (24 yo):We chose this Riad based on Google Reviews.Ahmed was the one who guided and talked with us. He is amazing, very kind and polite. He even sent a video on how to get to the riad from the Mosqueé. Unfortunately our flight got cancelled so we lost one night, but we decided not to ask for a refund since it's not their fault.We asked to not change the bed linen and towels, since we were there for only 3 nights. They thought it was very weird and were a bit reluctant (different cultures i guess), but STILL respected our request. They gave us a lot of privacy. I felt Ahmed genuinely cared about us.The breakfast is AMAZING!! there is air conditioner, soft beds, beautiful bathrooms, a small pool that looked amazing (we didn't use because we had very little time, but we saw other people using it).We have NO complains AT ALL!! It was a beautiful surprise. You will not regret (we are not sponsored I promised lol)Thank you Ahmed and EVERYONE!
I had the pleasure of staying at Riad le Petit Joyau and I must say that it was an unforgettable experience. The terrace is absolutely magnificent and offers a very pleasant setting in which to relax. We received a warm welcome from Ahmed, who was extremely helpful and extremely kind. The Riad is ideally located, making it easy to visit the city, and it is truly charming. The beds are very comfortable, which greatly contributed to the quality of our stay. This was without a doubt my favorite Riad of the entire stay. I highly recommend !
Amazing Riad , great location really nice staff , tasty breakfast , nice rooms, the pool was also great to refresh. Overall recommend this place. Walkable to many attractions. Good aircon in the room too.
Beautiful, quietly located Riad in Marrakech. Important sights as well as the souks and good restaurants are within walking distance. The entire staff is very friendly, accommodating and available to answer any questions. Breakfast is served on a wonderfully sunny roof terrace. We would highly recommend this riad to anyone coming to Marrakech.
More than definitely worth the 5 stars. Where to start. Well the location is excellent, hidden in an alley, but close to the city centre. The riad is beautiful and authentic. Maintained really well and has a great manager on it (Ashraf). The owner Hamza is really caring about your stay and very helpfull for whatever you might stumble against. The rooms are perfect to how they are, they are each different but also a bit similar. It's an old riad so it doesn't mean it's always sound proof. Take earplugs if ure a sentisive sleeper. Also, the Riad had a rooftop and if you order breakfast, you have a choice of 4 different breakfast options. Definitely had a great stay.Thank you!
Wow! What an experience. One of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed in.Ash was so kind and went above and beyond to look after me. Great suggestions, lovely breakfast, really clean room - 10/10!Thank you, Ash!
I spent 3 nights with my partner and the experience was totally recommended. First of all, the location of the Riad is perfect, close to everything but far enough from the noise of the square. Additionally, the neighborhood is very safe. On the other hand, the facilities have everything you need, the rooms are very complete and comfortable; and the decoration is incredible. Both dinner and breakfast are highly recommended, the terrace is quite pleasant to start/end the day with meals. Finally, special mention to the staff who always helps you with everything they can: transfer from the airport, map of the city and main tourist attractions, recommendations, printing boarding pass... especially many thanks to Walid for his treatment, it is a crack
One week here and nothing to complain about! Super calm and well placed. The breakfasts are plentiful and varied. The staff is friendly and everything is clean. We feel like home here. I recommend 100%, many thanks to Oualid and all the top-notch staffTaxi 2 minutes awayDedication to the owner of the riad.a good boss makes good employees, good employees make a good boss.Patricia and Bernard (France)
Willy is of rare kindness. Thanks to him for this exceptional stay, we will come back!
Best hotel I've experienced. Maybe not the most facilities but it feels like home. Staff is really nice.
Great place to stay in Marrackech, service from guy who manages the hotel is excelent and the rooms are great, location is also pretty good. On the other hand, be careful about the prices that offers the owner of the hotel Hamza for some options, a tajine and moroccan salad for 25€ is far above a real price from restaurants even in special plaves.
Super recommended!Unfortunately we only stayed in the riad for one night, but it was worth it.Clean and elegant.Thanks to Hamza and his staff for the service and hospitality.
The Riad is wonderful. It is in a beautiful neighborhood of Marrakech called the kasbah, very quiet, you don't hear a single noise, but at the same time very close to the downtown area, it is about ten minutes walk from the central square. The host H'mmad is charming, he answers all your questions quickly via WhatsApp and once you are there he is always making sure everything is going well. He even went to a store on the other side of the city to print my boarding pass. He offers you water and tea whenever he is there, he is a wonderful person, with whom you can talk about everything, it has been a pleasure to meet him. The breakfasts, of up to four different kinds and with fresh orange juice, are wonderful, the cooks are charming and always serve you with a smile. The rooms and beds, very comfortable, as well as the bathroom and the pillows, you have a great rest, since you don't hear any noise. The Riad is a little gem in a beautiful city. Without a doubt, if I return to Marrakech I will stay at Le Petit Joyau again. It has been an amazing experience. Thank you for everything H'mmad.
After two weeks all over Morocco this is my fave Riad! So nice and clean - the staff is super friendly. The food is great. Location is easy for walking everywhere. And the pool is great to cool down in!
The Riad lives up to its name 👍Nestled in a quiet little alley in a very well located location, we were won over by the very clean place, decorated with great taste! Thank you to our hosts Hamza and Hammad for your welcome and your great helpfulness in your haven of peace ✌️ Bravo to the cooks and all the staff for the delicious breakfasts and the succulent tagine 😋We stayed at Riad Le Petit Bijoux with friends and we recommend it 100% without any hesitation 👏
4 nights here and no complaints! Super calm and well placed. The breakfasts are plentiful and varied. The staff is friendly and everything is clean. We feel like home here. I recommend 100%
First time for me in Marrakech, the welcome, the cleanliness, and the attentiveness of the staff were essential and impeccable.I would like to thank you once again for everything!We will definitely come back, and we recommend it to future travelers!😉
Everything was perfect. From our arrival to our departure we had no complaints. Following a delayed flight, we arrived later than expected at the Riad. We were welcomed by Ouallid who made us a succulent chicken tagine upon our arrival. Room on the ground floor can be a little noisy in the evening when people come home. The breakfast was delicious with crepes, pancakes, bread, coffee or tea, squeezed orange juice and a new pastry every day. The bed was made every day and the towels changed. Ouallid recommended some very good restaurants for us and booked us a traditional hammam which I recommend. He also accompanied us to the taxi for our very early departure (4:30 a.m.). Location level is perfect: we are 15 minutes walk from Jemaa el Fna square. So thank you to him and thank you to the entire Riad team.
Where to start... We spent 4 nights in this riad. Everything was perfect: The decoration, the room, the cleanliness, the breakfast. But above all the sympathy of the staff. Small dedication to Ouallid, thank you for your smile, your kindness and your help in certain situations, thanks to you we had an excellent stay at the little Jewel.If we come back to Marrakech we already know where to come back.See you soon Manon and Gaëtan.
Perfect for our first experience in Marrakech!Very well located in the heart of the Medina Kasbah district. Excellent breakfast.A little haven of peace at the bend of an alley.A welcome and a team at the Top! A special mention for Oualid, always present and caring.
Super friendly staff. Enjoyed a fantastic few days. Gave a tortoise to Mitch as a gift, hopefully it will have a good life in the Riad!
An absolute dreamModern yet traditional elements in architectureNice roomsBreakfast on the terraceVery warm and shy employeesGood location with only a short walk to taxi ranks
I was in town for the recent IMF / World Bank meetings. Instead of staying in one of the big hotels, I decided to stay in the Medina. Just loved Le Petit Joyau. It was a welcome respite from the nonstop bustle of the meetings. It was tranquil and I can't say enough about the owner and the staff. Hamza was incredibly responsive and the kid who was kind of managing the place (I think his name was spelled Oalid) was just terrific. Welcoming, helpful and nice company.
Absolutely beautiful Riad with amazing, attentive staff. They treated us so well, made fresh breakfast each morning and even drank their tea with us. Whenever we needed information about Marrakesh, they would help. We loved going in the pool after a busy day in the city. It is ideally located near the main square but far enough to be out of the way of the noise. It was so peaceful on the terrace. The staff cleaned our room every day. We will definitely be coming back here. Thank you so much for such a unique experience.
Super friendly, jovial and helpful hosts will make your stay here a real pleasure. In addition, the rooms are perfectly fine and cozy. Wonderful shower too. The breakfast here is the most qualitative of all the places we stayed in Morocco. It is wonderful to relax on the roof terrace and the attractive swimming pool provides the necessary cooling. A relaxing oasis in busy but beautiful Marrakech, highly recommended!
My stay has been excellent. The Riad is very beautiful and quiet. The rooms are clean and the treatment of the staff is very good, especially that of Oualid.
Remarkably friendly, welcoming service from the team, who went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Highlights included the fresh Moroccan breakfast and the pool. Highly recommend!
Everything was perfect during our stay. Good food, helpful staff, and clean rooms! Will surely be back if there is a chance.
Excellent place to stay in Marrakech. The attention from the reception team is incredible and all their services make your stay a comfortable and peaceful experience.
Incredible experience!!The Riad could not be more beautiful, everything is very new, very clean and the decoration is beautiful. The spacious room, the very comfortable bed and the air conditioning have saved us from being able to rest perfectly with the high summer temperatures. In addition, the breakfasts on the terrace were very good!Thank you very much to the whole team for making our stay so pleasant!Without a doubt, 100% recommended!
In March 2023 we had the pleasure of staying at an incredibly beautiful accommodation that provided us with a genuinely warm and authentic Moroccan experience. Hamza (the owner of the riad) welcomed us warmly and was extremely friendly and accommodating throughout our stay. He took time for us and gave us good inputs for marrakech on the lovely terrasse. The whole riad and our room were lovely.The charm and ambiance of the place, with its authentic Moroccan decor, added to the overall appeal. Especially we loved the details in the bathroom and the handmade marocan doors. The riad is away from the hustle and bustle of merida, and that was good for relaxing. There is a small market near from the riad.The staff were very friendly and approachable, always ready to assist us with any needs or inquiries we had. Their kindness and genuine hospitality added to the positive experience. We had really good breakfast with fresh orange juice.We also had the opportunity to join an excursion (3 valley tour) organized by the accommodation, which turned out to be a great experience. It allowed us to explore the surrounding area and get a deeper insight into the local culture. That was a really good choice because we had a perfect guide (Mr. Yassine) the friendly driver for this tour. He told us plenty things of marocco like culture landscape and famous people like french montana ;).On the last day Hamza gave us good tips again for our roadtrip through marokko. Overall, our stay at this accommodation was delightful, and we would definitely consider returning in the future.Cheers Alena & Gregor
The hotel have a small terrace for food and rest, so lovely. Nice position, quite and close to the tom and the palace. The four staffs, hmmad, hicham, zineb and houda, gave really amazing service. Food is rather local. Dinner a bit expensive.
The Ryiad is located perfectly in the medina with short walking distances to all the places worth to see. The rooms are clean, beautiful and with a relaxing vibe. The hosts are helpful in every way possible and assists you with arranging most activities and transport. Delicious breakfast. Will come back next trip to Marrakech.
Lovely Riad within the Kasbah of Marrakech.It is a quiet oasis in contrast to the hordes of tourists in Marrakech.The owner and stuff are very helpful and extremely friendly.We enjoyed our stay very much.
By far my favourite place that I stayed at. The entire Riad is beautiful and very clean. The hosts went above and beyond to accommodate my girlfriend and I with everything that we needed.Breakfast was included. We were served the typical Moroccan breakfast with all the trimmings.My room was so nice and cozy. I could have slept in the bed all day long.My only regret about this place is not booking additional days
I hate long reviews…but this place deserves every ounce of appreciation lol so here we go…This place is an absolute dream! This review is actually 3 months overdue and I think about this place and specifically Zanab and Nadia who work here, very often. These two lovely ladies work here, prepare and serve the food. My mother and I had such a lovely time and by day 3 they became so precious to us!! Miss you all ♥️We came during the world cup when Morocco was winning and you can only imagine the energy!About the Riad…it’s VERY clean, close to the souk markets and plenty of restaurants (15 min walk) safe for women if you’re traveling alone. My mom being an Arabic speaker made communicating very easy but even if you’re not, English and especially French is very common.Rooms…newly renovated and I believe we had one of the rooms with a bathtub. The lower floor doesn’t get much sunlight but we didn’t care because the rooftop makes up for it (breakfast with Zanab and Nadia my besties was our favorite moment).Can’t wait to come back!Shout out to Hammad and Hamza!! Super helpful and accommodating that makes you feel like friends.Wij vlogen vanuit Amsterdam/Schiphol en deze hele ervaring in Marokko en Marrakesh voor de eerste keer was beter dan we hadden gehoopt! Je zult een betere service en behandeling hier krijgen in vergelijking met luxere Riad’s of hotels. Sorry voor de Engelse recensie
The Riad is lovely, it is so beautiful, the people Hammed, Hamza and the Ladies at breakfast are so lovely and nice, they help you in any way possible. Breakfast was so nice and substantial, we went for a day trip and they left the breakfast on the fridge to go. Location is perfect and it's close to everything. They can arrange pick up and drop off from the airport as well as day trips and reservations. Overall a great stay! Would definitely stay again! Thank you!
Perfect stay. The team are lovely and welcoming, go above and beyond to accommodate your needs. Breakfast was delicious, a mixture of fruit, cakes and pancakes. Arranged an excursion to the mountains through the hotel which was amazing - a must do!
I really have been to a lot of different places all over the world but never have had such a warm welcome! Thank you Hamza, at this place you really feel how welcome you are. He really cares that you have a lovely time in Marrakech. He also was so helpful with everything. Such a nice place, lovely rooms and very clean. We really wanted to come back but it was already booked. So when you’re traveling to Marrakech, be sure to book this place in advance, you for sure won’t regret! I am for sure coming back to this place. Hamza, keep on going like this. Thank you for everything!
This Riad deserves all the 5 star ratings it receives. We stayed 8 days overall. Everyone is extremely friendly and accommodating, you are treated like a friend from the moment you arrive until the moment you leave. Hmmad and Hamza are so nice and helpful, very attentive and address any question/concern you may have in a heartbeat. We needed to have some laundry done and have a last minute transfer to the airport and it was taken care of immediately. They truly care that their guests are happy. Our room was nice and clean, and the riad itself is also very clean and new. The rooftop is a nice place to relax with some tea or coffee. We brought our own wine to have a drink there a couple of times as well. Location is also good, walking distance to almost all the attractions. Of course I highly recommend this Riad to anyone who plans to stay in Marrakech, Hamza and his team will take good care of you! If I return to Marrakech I would stay here again 100%.
We had a great stay!! The location is great, easy to walk everywhere we needed to go. But the service was really out of this world — Hamza met us at our drop-off point, helped us with our luggage, and went out of his way to explain everything. Breakfast is delicious and served on a beautiful rooftop. Also there is a laundry service, which is really helpful.
So welcoming and lovely place! My friends and I really enjoyed our stay here😍
Don't hesitate to chose Le Petit Joyau, it is really a hidden gem. Location is perfect, outside the hustle and bustle but conveniently placed 10 minutes away by foot from all the Souks and other attractions. The food is amazing, rooms are fantastic, the pool is wonderful to have in such hot weather; but if you ask me, there's nothing as the staff. Here is where the Riad completely exceeds expectations. Everyone there, even the owners, are always there for you. They will take care of everything, and help you along the way, but moreover, they will make you feel at home.We will not forget our stay here, and we know we already have a place to stay for our next visit to Marrakech.
Incredible hospitality, beautiful interior and you will feel here like it’s a second home. Definitely worth 5 stars+++ and we want to come back!
Always a pleasure staying at Riad Le Petit Joyau, hospitable, cosy, beautifully designed, and perfectly located.Thank you Hamza & H'mmad, for your generosity and care.Can't wait to come back.Loving, Abdelrhafour.
A hidden gem in the center of Marrakesh! Amazing location, lovely staff who went out of their way to make our stay perfect, delicious breakfast on the terrace and would recommend ordering the dinner one night as well! Delicious tajine! Would 100% recommend to anyone visiting the city!
The Riad Le Petit Joyau is a Jewel, a Hidden Gem in the heart of Marrakesh! This is the most beautiful place I have ever stayed at! The managers and the staff are wonderful, professional, good spirit and always extremely pleasant! The location is exceptional and safe, in the best area of La Medina, close to Les Tombeaux Saadiens and 5 min walk from la Place Jamaa el Fna. It is super well located, but at the same time away from the chaos of Medina (it really feels like Heaven). The space is marvelous, the interiors are beautiful, with care gone into everything (each part of the Riad is studied and beautifully designed, with beautiful pictures, Moroccan Lamps, the carlage and the ceramics - just outstanding). I fell in love with my room, which is super well decorated, magic, comfortable, big and clean (with local free toiletries - especially the bath soap with a beautiful smell). I also really loved the plastic free and the fact they take care of the environment. In the morning it was lovely to be awaken by the joyful little birds in the patio. Hamza and his team are just exceptional, wonderful, always available, shining and cheerful- they make you feel right at home. The outstanding breakfast prepared by Nadia and Zineb every morning in the beautiful and sunny terrace where you can enjoy the beautiful view of Marrakesh and the storks. Breakfast is made by fresh and local products (Moroccan pancakes, delicious bread, fresh fruits, tea and coffee etc) and it changes every day. I also had the best dinner at the Riad (Moroccan Salad and Chicken Tagine were delicious). Also WIFI works perfectly! Hamza and Mohammed gave me the best recommendations where to eat, explore and do a traditional hammam! Also Hamza was extremely attentive and kind to accomodate my requests and change my travel plans (THANK YOU)! Wish I could have stayed longer! No words can justify my gratitude! Can't wait to come back again (Inshallah) and Shukran and thank you so much again!
This is the most perfect Riad we could have imagined to stay in! It is completely, freshly renovated and looks authentically moroccan with a lot of love into details. There is a beautiful terrace on top, where you can chill and enjoy the sun. The home-mademoroccan breakfast was wholesome and very delicious! But more than that the owners of the Riad (Hamza & H‘mmad) were comforting, available any time, they gave us super helpful advice for our stay in Marrakesh and are just really lovely folks to talk to. Would come back any time. Thanks so so much ❤️
Absolutely loved staying at Riad Le Petit Joyau! The space is so beautiful, awesome location, and the owners and staff were so hospitable! I will definitely be staying every time I’m in Morocco! ❤️
This riad is definitely the best place you can find in the heart of Marrakech. The two hosts provide you with amazing hospitality that makes you feel like home from the very first moment. The rooms are spacious, beautiful and the breakfast served on the terrace is very tasty. All in all it has been an excellent experience.
The best hotel in Marrakesh, it's extremely beautiful luxurious and very professional staff
The hospitality of the two lovely hosts is out of this world. Well, 3 hosts if you count their adorable kitty 🐈⬛ named Whiskey. The Riad is absolutely beautiful- and central to many of the most visited cites in Marrakech. It is well-maintained and cared for. The pool is so refreshing after a day in the sun. The upstairs patio is perfect for spending time with friends and enjoying the evening breeze. For an unforgettable experience in Marrakech, I would absolutely recommend a stay here.
Honestly the nicest Riad in the whole of Morocco. The staff are so lovely and genuine, we’ve had an amazing time here and we’re treated so so well. Breakfast is perfect too, and the pool is a lovely way to refresh. We will be back soon!
Best place in the center of the city!Great accommodation! Really helpful owners who help you to get the best Marrakech experience!
