Riad Joya

This gorgeous little riad is an oasis of calm amid the medina. Luxuriously decorated with an eye for the smallest detail. Everything is spotlessly clean! Host Noureddine and his entire team spare no effort to make your stay as pleasant as possible. Breakfast is served at the table, the room is checked and refreshed every time you leave, excursions are arranged, restaurants are recommended and booked. On arrival and departure from the medina, the host escorted us to and from the riad through the maze of streets. Nothing is too much. Never experienced such service! Highly recommended!

Beautiful riad, beautiful room and amazing staff. Staying here was truly a unique and wonderful experience. Would definitely recommend staying here as the location makes all attractions very accessible. Special shout out to the multiple cleanings we had every day and to the manager who accommodated our every request and came to drop us off to our car when we were leaving. Lastly, I will always remember the generosity of staff to invite me to open my fast with them, thank you for everything!

Great location, lovely food, a relaxing and high quality place to stay with high standards - but most of all fantastic, friendly people and service with nothing too much trouble. My wife is allergic to garlic which can cause problems but not at Riad Joya where this was dealt with without any fuss at all. Highly recommend.

Beautiful riad , nice terrace views on rooftop . Chef was delightful and engaging and dinner was a fabulous Moroccan salad with a delicious beef lemon garlic tangia, followed by poached pear with honey . SoSo yummy. The manager was sweet picked up up with our luggage from our driver and escorted us with our bags onto the Medina . Great location , close walk to central square, mosque. Service was terrific!!

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights and I cannot recommend the place enough. Everything from being picked up at the airport to the time we left was brilliant. I've stayed in all kinds of hotels from luxury chains to boutique hotels and I cannot say I've found more attentive service anywhere before. We were greeted by Noor & team and were offered some delicious Moroccan tea with biscuits when we arrived. The Riad is gorgeous & I personally loved the courtyard & the sunny terrace. It's perfectly located within walking distance of all of the Medina's must see places and with loads of eating options close-by. The way to the Riad is a typical Medina meandering route and we did get lost the first time but Noor luckily spotted us going the wrong way :D Our room was spacious & comfy. Very clean with lot's of space to store our luggage out of the way. I LOVED the bathroom decor. The housekeeping is impeccable. My husband and I are vegetarians and had Moroccoan breads, fruit, beverages & a variety of cheese & pastries for breakfast. They do do eggs but we don't eat them & did not find the breakfast to be lacking in anyway whatsoever. Everything was fresh and delicious. I like how they leave you alone to enjoy your meals. What made me fall in love with the place was the attentiveness & hospitality of the folks running it. From arranging transport for us to day trips, food recommendations, guides, where to shop and where to exchange money; Noor went above & beyond with helping us out. I will 10/10 recommend the place to everybody. It's worth every penny & more. I stayed in Sofitel right after my stay here & all I can say is a chain is a chain & you won't find the attentiveness there :)

We asked the owner to organise transfer from the airport, which is a good tip. The car takes you to the outskirts of the Medina, and a porter guides you to your Riad. if you're in Marrakech for the first time, I strongly recommend this, as there are so few reference points. Once you get over being guided down a dark alley, you're greeted by a simple door, concealing a wonderful, contemporary designed Riad. A simple but beautiful courtyard, and a warm welcome from Noureddine, the manager. The room was delightful, the A/C fully working (it matters here). What you're instantly aware of is the peace and quiet. The roof terrace is rather lovely; simple but spacious. We arrived late, and had pre-organised dinner. What came was just splendid; traditional salads (too many), a fabulous chicken tagine with lemon and olives, and poached pear for dessert. It isn't opened as a restaurant, but it certainly could be: the food is that good. The four nights we had here were just so relaxing, and the manager couldn't be more helpful in organising trips and offering directions. After a couple of days you get the hang of the old town, but it was great to have a starting point so centrally placed. I'm sure there are many lovely places to stay in Marrakech, but I can highly recommend Riad Joya as somewhere to wind down and relax after the madness of the Medina. It really is beautiful. We want to go back...

This is our third day in this remarkable hotel, located in the center of the Mediná. The introduction, written by the hotel is really accurate. The food is wonderful. The attention to your enjoyment is impeccable. "Nor" was the most wonderful of all hosts as well. When he says "This is your home" believe him. This is THE place to stay in Marrakesh.

Everything was amazing specially for being our 1st time in Morocco Marrakesh , the place has everything and the service of everyone that works there was incredible; special thanks to Noureddine so helpful and thoughtful and gave us all the recommendations that we needed.

This Riad is very modern and difference from other more traditional. However the accommodation was stylish, sleek and super comfortable. Amazing breakfast. Shower was fantastic and the bed super comfortable unlike most of the hard beds in Morroco. Noor and his staff are super helpful, kind and took amazing care of us. We loved it and would definitely recommend and love to return
