Le Riad Dix-Neuf Marrakech

My trip to Morocco was the one of the best trips I have ever had in my life.||||Staying at Riad Dixneuf was the icing on the magical cake. There are a lot of gorgeous Riads in Marrakech, but the staff at Riad Dixneuf make it EXTRA special.||It's in a great location in the Old Medina. Close to the gate for pick ups, and just far enough away from the crazy, busy part of the Souk. ||Every room is spotless and beautiful decorated in a classic Moroccan style.||||We were booked last minute, but Mustafa and the staff at Dixneuf went out of their way to accommodate us. They are the best of the best. ||They treat every guest like family and are so kind and generous. ||||The food here is the the best.||Chef Rabia's culinary feasts are magical. Her food is delicious. The breakfast is amazing, fresh juices and marmalades served with home made pancakes and fresh eggs.||Per our request, the Chef created an exquisite birthday dinner for my niece, that we still talk about. The entire staff went out of their way, ordered a birthday cake from a local bakery... the entire Riad sang 'Happy Birthday" to her. It was one of our best nights.||||Chef is also a very sweet and heartfelt person who gives the best hugs. So I suggest to make the effort to meet her.||We are all dying to go back to Marrakech and would definitely stay here again! ||I wish I could give Riad Dixneuf 10 stars!!

This is not just a Riad. This is an oasis, a piece of heaven in Marrakech. The Riad itself it's AMAZING, the style, the smell, the beautiful bedrooms and terrace... But what it makes it really special are the people working there. They made us feel like at home. Bourhim, Rabia, Issam... all of them are wonderful professionals, so welcoming, friendly, helpful. I still cry when remembering the 2 amazing dinners we had there, amazing chef!! It has been 7 great days in Morocco and my best take aways are the experience of 2 days in the Sahara and the Riad Dixneuf La Ksour without any doubt. I would recommend it to everyone and I would love to come back.

What can I say that hasn't been said already? The Riad is gorgeous with beautifully appointed rooms. There's something magical about walking through the doors into their peaceful courtyard, that just soothes your soul (whether it’s after a long flight or day exploring the Medina).||||The location is perfect- centrally located within the Medina but just outside of the hustle and bustle of the souks. Taxis are also easily accessible if you want to explore the rest of Marrakesh (Jardin Majorelle is a fav). Breakfast everyday was delicious and we ordered a meal on our first night that was enjoyable. The staff were great- very friendly and helpful. ||||Just a tip for Marrakesh in general. I strongly advise against booking a guide for a private tour of the Medina, whether it’s through the riad (which we did) or otherwise. There’s a lot of pressure to shop during the tour (this was not a shopping tour, just a day tour) and we felt that our guide would not lead us out of the depth of the Medina until we bought something heavily overpriced. Instead it’s better to explore on your own and do a group food or night tour early into your trip to get a sense of the Medina and what it has to offer without the pressure to buy things.

We spent our last night of a 4 night stay, at the Riad Laksour in Marrakech, as the Riad where we had spent the previous 3 nights, was over booked. It is quite reasonably priced. We paid 85 Euros for our 1 night stay.||The Riad Laksour is a very traditional Riad, French owned by Catherine & Michel, who are very welcoming hosts. The friendly couple speak very little English, but with my little bit of French and a few written notes, we were able to communicate effectively!||This is an authentic Riad and the traditional decor and ambience, reflects this. The courtyard is open to the elements. Trees & foliage flourish freely and the sounds of the souks & the square can be heard whilst sitting in the courtyard.||Inside the rooms, the decor is distinctly Moroccan. Our room was spacious and had a large bathroom, with a decent shower, but no hairdryer.||The roof terrace is very spacious, with great views over the whole of the medina. There are plenty of loungers & lots of space to chill out.||We had breakfast at the Laksour on the day of our departure. It was a typical Moroccan breakfast, with lovely fresh orange juice & pancakes.||The Riad Laksour is very close to the Jemma el Fna and quite easy to locate, once you know which alleyway to walk down! ||This was a pleasant stay for one night and if you are looking to stay in a very traditional Riad, then the Laksour will appeal.

Riad Dixneuf La Ksour was wonderful. The staff was very friendly and made sure our stay was perfect. They speak many languages and gave some nice recommendations. Please consider having the Riad arrange transportation to/from airport. Beware: as typical there are a many stairs in/out of the Riad and to the rooms. Each afternoon they brought us a cold bottle of water. This was so appreciated due to the high temperatures outside.

This hotel was exceptional. The owner of the Riad, Miguel, and I chatted late into my last night over dinner. He helped me negotiate a refund from a rug vendor who overcharged me. His Manager Mustafa and all the staff were great hosts, can't thank them enough for their hospitality. The Riad itself was beautiful, serene, and tastefully decorated. I came during a slower week, and we had it to ourselves. The pool was clean and refreshing. Breakfast delicious. His staff paid attention to every detail. They waited for us to come home late at night, helped me mail postcards, plan our day, tips on prices, airport transfers with reasonable rates. Terrific location, a short walk to the major attractions, or dinner/drinks in Royal Mansour or Mamounia. Its right in between the new and old. I could'nt recommend enough. Hope to return on completion of their expansion and new spa. Thank you Miguel!

Riad Dixneuf La ksour is like heaven in the chaotic medina of Marrakech. Close to everything and easy to find.||Everything looks so minimal but at the same time so stylish and peaceful. I was impressed by the sound of flowing water coming from the pool. We could actually here this sound by our room, pure relaxation and calmness.||However, what makes Riad Dixneuf La Ksour so special, it's the staff. We were suprised by their warm hospitality. Smiley faces, polite, always willing to help you. Special thanks to Issam, Bourhim and Mustafa.||Highly recommended riad!

My family and I stayed at the Riad Laksour for 2 nights from the 23th to the 25th of october during our (short) vacation in Marrakech for my dad's birthday.||The riad is very relaxing and clean: the open spaces are quiet and cool, with lot of green around. Everything, rooms included, are in a very typical marocchian style which is so beautiful. You can see from the architecture that it was a real riad in the past and this thing makes the atmosphere quite suggestive.||The location is very nice: you can walk to Jemma el Fna in less the 5 minutes, and back in the same time once you understand which one is the right hallway!||The owners, Michelle and Cathrine, are very polite and sociable, they do their best to make your staying in Marrakech something that you'll never forget.
