Riad les Yeux Bleus

Wir waren im Rahmen einer großen Party für ein paar Nächte über Ostern (und Rammadan) im April 2022 und wir fanden, dass dies ein wirklich schönes Riad war. Es hat eine anständige Größe (vielleicht 12 Zimmer), mit recht großen Zimmern (inkl. Klimaanlage) und einer günstigen Lage in der Medina. Die Angestellten waren die ganze Zeit super freundlich und hilfsbereit und organisierten bei Bedarf Taxis usw. Das Frühstück war ausgezeichnet (größtenteils kontinental, Gebäck, Marmelade, Kaffee und frisch gepresster Orangensaft), und es gibt auch die Möglichkeit zum Mittag- oder Abendessen. Es gibt einen kleinen Pool im Erdgeschoss, der wirklich hübsch aussieht und schön zum Sitzen ist, aber sehr kalt war. Auf dem Dach gibt es ein kleines Tauchbecken (Größe eines Whirlpools), das auch kalt, aber erfrischend war.

A beautiful hotel. It's been updated slightly since the photographs but is just as stunning. The staff are attentive and helpful. English and French (and I'm sure other languages) are spoken fluently. I can't recommend this hotel more. The new dining area on the roof will be stunning I'm sure.

Absolutely beautiful Riad with a great location, rooftop and pool area. The rooms are also beautiful. The staff and service was exceptional and everyone was very helpful . A special thanks to Abdul Karim for great service and teaching me Berber! Felt right at home in this hotel.

Our family really loved this Riad. The exterior was plain and down a nondescript alley but when they opened the door there was this beautiful hotel inside. The staff was amazing - attentive, kind, accommodating. It was like being in someone's home. The Riad was close to everything we wanted to see but tucked away and quiet inside. And they arranged everything for us - cabs, dinner reservations, spa appointments - they even walked us to our cabs when they arrived. They served a plentiful breakfast daily and you could order other meals as desired. All was tasty and satisfying. We went in December so it was a little chilly in the building, which was open air in the courtyard, but that's to be expected. Nice heaters in the bedrooms. Again, great stay, terrific staff, we have already recommended the place to friends and family traveling to Morocco.

Great service and very friendly people. After a few days it felt like they were family. The Riad is very beautiful and very pretty decorated. The rooms were nice as well

The riad is in a perfect location and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. We were there for 3 nights and the rooms were comfortable and pleasant. Unfortunately during our stay there were building works on the roof top. This was quite noisy during the days but staff did go out of their way to apologise and still allow access to the roof. Would definitely recommend staying here for a short stay.

Absolutely fabulous accommodation and staff that could not do enough for you. We were sad to have only stayed 3 nights everything we asked for was no problem and we could not have asked for more. We will definitely stay again. The rooms are comfortable and the communal areas are stunning. The service and hospitality were above and beyond what we were expecting

A lovely oasis in the middle of Marrakesh - although the medina was chaotic (in a great way) the riad felt calm so it was lovely to have some where relaxing to go back to after a day exploring the souks. The decor is beautiful- our room was cozy and the bed was really comfortable. The food was also lovely - we had one dinner and one breakfast there. The staff were really helpful and super lovely. The only downside was a shower was a bit rubbish (water didn’t come out properly and the water didn’t drain quick enough) and the bathroom doesn’t have a door but I still gave it a 5 star review as these didn’t impact our stay at all. I would also say, the pool is very small and in the middle of the riad so if you are wanting somewhere you can relax by the pool all day this may not be the hotel for you.

As many have pointed out, this is a nice refuge from the chaotic heart of Djemma al-fenna (The Big Square, as the local call it - the Koutoubia Mosque is opposite as well). It’s an easy 10 min walk. Amenities for basics are nearby - pharmacy, money changer, SIM cards (PS I did an e-Sim which was so much more convenient), etc. There’s a slight local neighbourhood vibe to this whole place. Rooms are generous for 2 with sufficient space for luggage etc. Beds are comfortable and clean. There’s a well-stocked bar but keep in mind that this is not exactly a party spot, things will kinda “close” by about 10ish pm or so? At least, it felt like it (which was fine for me because I like an early night). I’m also told this is a partially residential neighbourhood. Also good for me because it means good sleeps! Anyway, ask - the staff are incredibly obliging. There’s a small, well-curated menu for dining in-house but again, this is a riad (not a hotel) so you’ll need to give them time to get your food ready. There is a kitchen but I honestly doubt it’s 24hrs. Again, ask. PS: The chicken tagine is delicious! There are no lifts and the staircases are a bit narrow so keep thar in mind if you are travelling with large suitcases. Again, it’s a riad not a hotel. But the staff are incredibly helpful (and strong!) Most importantly, do not let all of this deter you from booking Riad Les Yeux Bleus. This is just my way of managing expectations. It is a charming space. And the service is excellent. Obliging, attentive without obsequious. Nice and friendly. After a long day trudging about the souks and the city, it was really nice to come back, take a nice deep breathe and have a beer in the courtyard :)
