Riad Le J — Hotel in Marrakesh Prefecture

Reading the other reviews leaves me somewhat confused and wondering why my opinions don’t align with those of others, I think fundamentally this Riad is nice, there is nothing predominantly bad about the place and it certainly has its strengths. The following issues are somewhat minor but still affected the feeling of my overall stay. Generally I would say the place is just “nice”. My irks include the terrible WiFi connection, which I first attested to “Marrakech” however soon discovered nowhere else with such issues… it wasn’t the internet speed which bothered me… rather just the availability. I was unable to even connect to the routers during most of my stay. The room had a bottle of water when I arrived but once that was finished it was not replaced. (6 night stay), my two drinking glasses were used (for wine) and neither removed nor replaced. The shower plumbing was difficult to master, scolding or freezing mostly. Breakfast was basic… one egg, one banana, one yoghurt, one pastry, black coffee. There was cereal on my first morning but that never reappeared. My room, although comfortable enough, was basic. This being said, the guy who welcomed me and saw me off was extremely friendly, he sat me down with a map and gave me great information about everything I would need, he was very friendly and kind. His wonderful attitude definitely made a positive impact on my stay. The location is great, super central, the Riad overall is clean...

Don’t try to find Riad Le J on your own. Just don’t. Seriously. This Riad is in the middle of the Marrakesh Medina and it’s nearly impossible to find. When I read reviews like this prior to coming to Morocco, I thought, “oh, maybe people aren’t used to making a few turns here and there.” No. Wrong. The Marrakech Medina is labyrinthine and crowded. The last thing you want to do when you’re tired and hot is to spend 45 minutes going up and down little passageways, hoping that THIS is the one! Trust me. Been there. Done that. Ask for the host to walk you in. Ok, with that out of the way, let’s talk about what’s special and great about Riad Le J. The breakfast – the BEST we had in Morocco. Ibrahim (thank you!) set up our delicious morning meal on the private terrace outside our lovely room (Cannelle – look up and don’t miss the ceiling!!) and it was delicious, fresh, and kept us going through mid-afternoon. The showers were excellent (and just what the doctor ordered after 2 days in the Sahara!) – good water pressure, and amazingly soft and fluffy towels, complete with big pompom tassels! Don’t miss the...

Riad Le J is a lovely guesthouse in the heart of Marrakesh's medina, offering a quiet oasis in the midst of the bustling city. The riad is beautifully decorated with traditional Moroccan architecture and design, and the rooms are comfortable and spacious.

The staff is friendly and helpful, and they go out of their way to make sure guests feel at home. Breakfast is included and is a delicious spread of traditional Moroccan pastries, breads, and fresh fruit.

While the riad is beautiful and comfortable, there were a few minor issues that prevented me from giving it a 5-star review. The wifi can be spotty at times, and the location can be a bit tricky to find, so it's important to have clear directions or arrange for the riad to arrange for a transfer from the airport.

Overall, Riad Le J is a great choice for those looking for an authentic Moroccan experience in a beautiful and comfortable setting. While there were a few minor issues, the staff and amenities more than make up for them, and the riad offers a peaceful and welcoming retreat in the heart...
