Riad Monceau

We stayed in this riad 5 days and 4 nights. This is our first trip in Marracesh. My husband preferred to stay in Medina to fill more authentic atmosphere. It was quick choice on Booking. Com. I filtered by 5 stars and excellent reviews. This hotel came up on the first line. The room was quite big, but the bed was hard and uncomfortable pillows with cheap filling. The bathroom was clean but need to be refreshed. It was pretty cold inside the restaurant at breakfast time. The breakfast variations was pretty small. It can work two days not more.
This hotel has a live music every night. So it’s very noisy. Because of old construction you feel on the stage together with the players from 8 pm to 11 pm.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Le Riad Monceau! From the moment I booked online, Chaymae, the manager, was incredibly responsive and went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted with delicious pastries and Moroccan tea and Chaymae took the time to sit down with us, make thoughtful suggestions, and help us plan our next few days in Marrakech.
The front desk staff, including Soufiane and Fatin, were extremely friendly and accommodating. Sofian, who worked in the breakfast service was very patient, hospitable and showed excellent attention to detail.
We’ve stayed in many places around the world, but our experience at Riad Monceau was, without doubt, the best we’ve ever had. A special shoutout to Chaymae for her thoughtfulness and dedication, which truly made our trip unforgettable. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!

Wonderfully located in the heart of Marrakech's Medina down a bustling narrow street so common in the Medina, and a short walk to the main square. Soufran, the hotel's concierge, was excellent in helping me get oriented to Marrakech and the hotel's amenities. He was an invaluable resource providing guidance to what Marrakech has to offer, and always attentive to answering my questions or making sure my needs were met. My room was lovely and just off the courtyard overlooking the pool and the hotel's Bistro Arabe. Live Arabian/American jazz is performed nightly (2 sets) 8:00-11:00PM, and is delightful! The hotel staff are multilingual with emphasis on Arabic, French and English, so no worry about communication. Tasty breakfast offered daily in the courtyard. La Pergola is the rooftop bar, and serves alcoholic beverages along with non-alcohol beverages. Restaurant meals were very good with attentive service. I'd recommend taking advantage of the hotel's airport transit service. Your luggage and person will be met at the airport and brought to the hotel. Locating the hotel would be tricky if this is your first visit to the Medina, since taxi's and other vehicles are prohibited in the Medina. Though a short walk from the taxi or hotel transit drop-off to the hotel, it's confusing at first until becoming oriented.

I’m so glad I stayed at this wonderful hotel. It’s location is perfect for exploring the souks and Jamma al Fnaa square. The amenities and staff couldn’t be any better. The Riad (a house transformed into a hotel) has a wonderful vibe about it. It has old world charm with modern amenities.
There is nightly live music from 8pm until 11pm. I loved the Jazz and Latin nights.
The rooftop restaurant “The Pergola” was excellent. The tagine and backshish kebabs were some of my favorite dishes. The Casablanca beer was cold and had a clean crisp taste.
The staff were phenomenal. Personable, efficient and very helpful. They felt more like friends than employees. They all spoke English but French and Arabic as well. From my first experience with Soufian at the front desk to the cooks and wait staff and even the staff cleaning the rooms, they all went above and beyond to make it feel like home away from home.
I can’t wait to return! I can’t imagine staying anywhere else in Marrakech!

Le Riad Monceau.
5/5 Excellent.
From booking to checking out I have never received better service. The Riad is an absolutely stunning hidden gem. Deep inside the busy bustling mind blowing medina is this beautiful hidden oasis of calm luxury. The room I had was incredible, it was tucked away in a little corner of the riad with its own private patio, and a spa pool within the room itself. Every single member of staff I had contact with was polite and friendly and always happy to help and always with a smile. I will most definitely be back and will be recommending this wonderful place to anyone that will listen. The food was amazing, the jazz brilliant and the cocktails perfect. I was travelling solo and felt perfectly safe and welcomed.

I had a wonderful stay at Riad Monceau in Marrakech. Soufiane and Chaymae were incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to accommodate all of our requests, which made our experience even better. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, and the riad itself is in the very center of Marrakech. It is within walking distance of everything you might want to see and do.
Right outside the riad is the souk, where you can shop for gifts and trinkets, and since all the souks are connected you can wander through them endlessly. The riad is also well situated between the Mellah (Jewish Quarter) and Jemaa el Fnaa (main square). In addition, you can easily walk to different restaurants and historical sites, all within about twenty minutes.
One thing to note is that cars do not drive on the street leading to the riad, so you should be prepared for a short walk. Breakfast is served from 8:00 to 10:30 in the morning, and since we had an early flight the staff kindly made sure we were able to enjoy breakfast before leaving, which we greatly appreciated.
Overall, it is a beautiful riad with excellent service and I would definitely recommend it.

The hotel was beautiful and cozy. The staff made you feel at home. Customer service was the best that I’ve ever had. They catered to every need without hesitation. Soufian scheduled several of our tours. Everything was personalized and perfect. Our trip started with a sunrise view from a hot air balloon and ended Thanksgiving night with dinner and a show and watching the sunset. Amazing! Thank you to all of the staff for making this one of the best vacations we’ve ever had.

We went here to celebrate my friend’s 60th birthday. From the moment we arrived we were treated like princesses — thank you Soffian!
The rooms were immaculate & the food was delicious. We loved the fact that the rooftop bar, La Pergola, served delightful lunches, drinks — coffees etc.
In the evenings there was always a jazz band playing with a saxophonist. They stopped at 11pm which meant it was never a struggle to get to sleep.
We cannot recommend this Riad enough & are already counting down the months till our next visit.
Thank.
You again to all the staff & especially Soffian for being such an excellent host. You are a credit to this Riad.

My husband and I had the most incredible, four nights five days at this exceptional, boutique Riad. The staff was so welcoming and warm, the establishment, absolutely beautiful, spotless, and cozy. If we had to pin down the very very best part of this particular hotel, it would be the manager. Chayme. This sweet lady, organized every single solitary part of our time in Marrakesh when this was not her job and we were only staying at the Riad. She made special, arrangements for not one, but two celebratory situations for my husband‘s birthday, held the best table in the room in front of the amazing nightly jazz they offer and was all around like family to us. We cannot thank her enough and look forward to a return trip with our three daughters. Sophian was also a huge support and gave us a greeting, and download with our traditional mint tea about the area, what we should do and some common traditions. We cannot recommend this beautiful place enough. We loved it so so very much.

Riad Monceau was a perfect place to stay for enjoying the square and the experience of the city. Soufain was an excellent host and he made sure we were comfortable. Great job Soufain! And Hamza from security was super helpful in making sure we found out transportation. The house band in our Riad was amazing. The drummer was the best I have ever heard. What a pleasure!

I highly recommend Riad Monceau. The rooms are beautiful, the location, a short walk directly into the heart of the old Medina, is perfect for exploring Marrakech, and the team has impeccable attention to detail. The spa and restaurants on site are also a must try. There’s a jazz band that plays nightly during dinner service that is a delight to listen to. Chaymae was an incredible help in helping us organize some day trips and checked in on us during our stay to make sure everything was perfect. Chaymae? More like Chaybae.

If I could give this property 10 stars, I definitely would. I have never experienced such great hospitality in all my years of traveling. The ENTIRE staff were very welcoming, super friendly, and accommodating, I really felt like home away from home. The property is very clean and beautiful. The food and atmosphere were spectacular. And the location is priceless. I was very impressed on how the whole staff took care of their customers but I would like to give a special recognition to Chaymae, the property manager. She went above and beyond the entire time when I needed something. Checked on me regularly during the day and while I was there to make sure I was well taken care of and had everything I needed. She is truly a Gem! Thank you all very much for my pleasant stay! I highly recommend this hotel!

I had the pleasure of staying at Riad Le Monceau during my recent trip to Marrakech, and overall, it was a wonderful experience. From the moment I arrived, the hospitality was absolutely incredible. The staff went above and beyond to make sure I felt comfortable, and Sufiyan, in particular, was a standout host. He was always ready to help with anything I needed, whether it was recommendations for local sights or arranging transport.
The heat in Marrakech was blazing during my visit, temperatures were definitely higher than expected, which meant I ended up spending more time inside the riad than I originally planned. But, that turned out to be a blessing in disguise, because the riad itself was so comfortable and inviting. I spent quite a bit of time relaxing by the beautiful pools and jacuzzi, which were perfect for cooling off after a long day of sightseeing.

We loved our time in Marrakesh but staying at the Riad Monceau made us love it even more. From the first interaction when booking our stay direct to our departure, the team was attentive, kind and truly made a difference in our time in this incredible city. The check in process is personalized and informative so that you feel ready to enjoy your time in Marrakesh. The Riad is super cool and stunning everywhere you look. Our room was incredible and we were so fortunate to have received an upgraded room for our short 2 day stay. Staying in a Riad is a unique experience and we can't image having stayed anywhere else. The location of Riad Monceau is truly impeccable. Only a super quick walk to the main square, you are always within a short walk of anything you want or need. This is a property that we will 100% return to and we are already missing our time there so much. Chaymae is the perfect example of how to make her guest feel welcome and taken care of. We give huge kudos to her and her entire team.

This hotel s fantastic. Our room had a beautiful private jacuzzi tub and was wonderfully relaxing. The bed was very comfortable and amenities were good. They welcomed us with delicious Moroccan tea and pastries. The staff was so welcoming and friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Some things to note, there are stairs, many narrow, this is not unusual for a Riad and is a part of it’s charm. Make a reservation for dinner at the hotel restaurant. It is one of the best in the Medina The live jazz was an added bonus to the wonderful food. The rooftop jacuzzi is by reservation only. It was nice and cool on the 34/100 degree days. Very peaceful and pleasant oasis in the heart of the Medina. The location was good. The major sites were within a short walk. I can’t recommend this hotel highly enough!

We had a wonderful stay at this Riad and enjoyed every moment from the time we arrived until checkout. The rooms were clean and well-organized, the food was delicious, and the staff was warm and welcoming.
A special thank you to Chaymae for her exceptional hospitality—she always made sure we were well taken care of, especially with her amazing tea and delicious cookies!

Very good location in the Medina, close to the main square and souks. It’s tucked back off the main street so it’s pretty quiet around the main entrance.
The management was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was fantastic and the I want to give an extra shout out to the breakfast servers as they were very nice and attentive.
Our particular room was a bit on the small side, but that is to be expected. Our travel friends were in an upgraded room and it was much bigger — so I recommend paying a little extra for the better room rate if it’s available. Otherwise it was totally fine for what we needed and pretty comfortable regardless of size.
The riad in general is beautiful and we loved the jazz music playing throughout the day (recorded early, live band every night playing in the courtyard). La Pergola is a nice option for dining and the food there was great. Servers there were also friendly and provided good service.
Overall this place is worth the price particularly if you enjoy live music and having the restaurant and spa options or you want something with a great location.
