Riad Joya

On our first trip to Morocco, Riad Joya became our home in Marrakech. It has many virtues. The manager, Noureddine, is a master of hospitality. His small team is no less remarkable, starting with the dear Fannane. The room was spacious, comfortable, impeccably clean, and welcoming. Everything works. Dates, almonds, fruit, flowers, and water were replenished daily. The Wi-Fi could be better, but the instability seems structural, as it occurred in all the riads we stayed at in other cities. Premium airport transfer is included in the daily rate, and it’s essential for locating the Joya in the medina’s labyrinth. Excellent Moroccan-style breakfast. Be sure to have at least one meal there. At the dinner we had, we enjoyed the most delicious and refined tagine of our entire trip through the country.

An excellent boutique Riad centrally located in the Medina. Elegantly furnished, comfortable with good attention to detail. The service provided by the ever-present courteous manager, Noureddine and his obliging staff just added to the overall ambience. Early breakfasts and a dinner request for later than usual were provided with aplomb. Nour, even escorted us to a restaurant in the Medina, noting landmarks for our safe return trip.

We were attracted to Riad Joya by the good reviews, and the way it has been decorated, in slightly minimalistic but still Moroccan style. Italian owners. Noureddine was really helpful, and his staff all courteous and helpful. Rooms are gorgeous, and food excellent. Very centrally located, if a bit difficult to find. Would recommend.

Amazing! So enjoyed the place and hosts. The rooms, furnishing, baths, and riad as a whole are such a delightful sanctuary... peaceful, light and cooling...steps away from the energy of the souk. Built anew just over 10 years ago, it's elegant and well-cared-for. Guests are well-cared-for, too. Airport pickup worked smoothly as did sending me off to various museums, reservations, and rendezvous gates. Breakfast was beautiful with several local breads and cheeses, freshcut fruit, real yogurt, and a lovely nus nus coffee on request. (Omelette available but was more than I needed) I returned on my next visit to Marrakech.

Loved Riad Joya. A gem of property. Perfect location. I was fortunate to get a gift certificate to this establishment. I took my bestie who happens to be Morrocan. I was emailing Nouredine constantly to sort out room, airport pick up, excursions, guide, restaurants. Everything I requested was catered for and always answered promptly. |The meeting at the airport with our own chauffeur service felt like queens. Nouredine met us personally at the Road and we had our own bulter service with Fennon. Our housekeeper, cook. The breakfast was amazing. The location is near Medina. The hosting is impeccable. A home from home feeling. Thank you to all the staff it made my stay in Morroco really enjoyable. A hot air balloon excursion recommended. A real beautiful place the rooms were so stylish, simple and elegant. Highly recommend and definitely coming back again.

Absolutely wonderful 4 night stay at this riad. Nordeeen and his whole team (in particular Fenon & Samo) were very service oriented and provided a wonderful service from the time we arrived to the time we left! No request was too much - from accompanying us through the Medina to our pickup to arranging a hammam / massage / special vegetarian meal in situ. The riad is very well located close to many restaurants and walking distance to many of the touristic sites we visited (but be prepared to walk and manage the crowded alleyways of the Medina!) Will definitely stay here again.

Fantastic hotel - even though it's very simple (it has no TV, no elevator and does not serve alcoholic beverages), it was one of the best places we stayed in while traveling in Morocco. The service is impeccable. Noureddine and his team made us feel extremely welcome. Because the hotel is in the medina, they met us in the main square, took our bags and escorted us to the hotel. When we wanted to explore, Noureddine himself took us out to make sure we didn't get lost. Our room was large, clean and comfortable and very quiet. Dinner was traditional, plentiful and delicious. Breakfast service is efficient and there's lots to choose from.

Nice hidden gem. Great location, great service, very friendly staff. Great breakfast, the list of things I liked about this place is very long. But I'd highlight the service. You really feel well taken care of. I think this is because it's a small place so they can provide customized service to guests. Lastly, they do not ask for reviews like many other establishments that rack up high reviews just cos they solicit
