Riad Le Petit Joyau — Hotel in Marrakesh Prefecture

The Riad Le Petit Joyau is a Jewel, a Hidden Gem in the heart of Marrakesh! This is the most beautiful place I have ever stayed at! The managers and the staff are wonderful, professional, good spirit and always extremely pleasant! The location is exceptional and safe, in the best area of La Medina, close to Les Tombeaux Saadiens and 5 min walk from la Place Jamaa el Fna. It is super well located, but at the same time away from the chaos of Medina (it really feels like Heaven). The space is marvelous, the interiors are beautiful, with care gone into everything (each part of the Riad is studied and beautifully designed, with beautiful pictures, Moroccan Lamps, the carlage and the ceramics - just outstanding). I fell in love with my room, which is super well decorated, magic, comfortable, big and clean (with local free toiletries - especially the bath soap with a beautiful smell). I also really loved the plastic free and the fact they take care of the environment. In the morning it was lovely to be awaken by the joyful little birds in the patio. Hamza and his team are just exceptional, wonderful, always available, shining and cheerful- they make you feel right at home. The outstanding breakfast prepared by Nadia and Zineb every morning in the beautiful and sunny terrace where you can enjoy the beautiful view of Marrakesh and the storks. Breakfast is made by fresh and local products (Moroccan pancakes, delicious bread, fresh fruits, tea and coffee etc) and it changes every day. I also had the best dinner at the Riad (Moroccan Salad and Chicken Tagine were delicious). Also WIFI works perfectly! Hamza and Mohammed gave me the best recommendations where to eat, explore and do a traditional hammam! Also Hamza was extremely attentive and kind to accomodate my requests and change my travel plans (THANK YOU)! Wish I could have stayed longer! No words can justify my gratitude! Can't wait to come back again (Inshallah) and Shukran and thank you...

In March 2023 we had the pleasure of staying at an incredibly beautiful accommodation that provided us with a genuinely warm and authentic Moroccan experience. Hamza (the owner of the riad) welcomed us warmly and was extremely friendly and accommodating throughout our stay. He took time for us and gave us good inputs for marrakech on the lovely terrasse. The whole riad and our room were lovely.The charm and ambiance of the place, with its authentic Moroccan decor, added to the overall appeal. Especially we loved the details in the bathroom and the handmade marocan doors. The riad is away from the hustle and bustle of merida, and that was good for relaxing. There is a small market near from the riad.

The staff were very friendly and approachable, always ready to assist us with any needs or inquiries we had. Their kindness and genuine hospitality added to the positive experience. We had really good breakfast with fresh orange juice.

We also had the opportunity to join an excursion (3 valley tour) organized by the accommodation, which turned out to be a great experience. It allowed us to explore the surrounding area and get a deeper insight into the local culture. That was a really good choice because we had a perfect guide (Mr. Yassine) the friendly driver for this tour. He told us plenty things of marocco like culture landscape and famous people like french montana ;).

On the last day Hamza gave us good tips again for our roadtrip through marokko. Overall, our stay at this accommodation was delightful, and we would definitely consider returning in the future.

Cheers...

I hate long reviews…but this place deserves every ounce of appreciation lol so here we go…

This place is an absolute dream! This review is actually 3 months overdue and I think about this place and specifically Zanab and Nadia who work here, very often. These two lovely ladies work here, prepare and serve the food. My mother and I had such a lovely time and by day 3 they became so precious to us!! Miss you all ♥️ We came during the world cup when Morocco was winning and you can only imagine the energy! About the Riad…it’s VERY clean, close to the souk markets and plenty of restaurants (15 min walk) safe for women if you’re traveling alone. My mom being an Arabic speaker made communicating very easy but even if you’re not, English and especially French is very common. Rooms…newly renovated and I believe we had one of the rooms with a bathtub. The lower floor doesn’t get much sunlight but we didn’t care because the rooftop makes up for it (breakfast with Zanab and Nadia my besties was our favorite moment). Can’t wait to come back! Shout out to Hammad and Hamza!! Super helpful and accommodating that makes you feel like friends.

Wij vlogen vanuit Amsterdam/Schiphol en deze hele ervaring in Marokko en Marrakesh voor de eerste keer was beter dan we hadden gehoopt! Je zult een betere service en behandeling hier krijgen in vergelijking met luxere Riad’s of hotels. Sorry voor de...
