Wonderful stay in Marrakech

My 2 friends and I had a wonderful stay in this riad, it was truly the quiet haven we needed after busy days in the city! It was completely silent at day or night. It was spotlessly clean everywhere, beautiful decor, comfortable and cosy, the AC worked well, and the breakfast was simple but delicious each day - lots of breaded goods and cakes and amazing coffee! All of the staff were so friendly and lovely - thank you Samir for facilitating a wonderful stay. We also didn’t make enough use of the lovely rooftop! We didn’t use the little pool, still unsure if we could’ve, but we didn’t really have time to!

If you do any excursions, the pick up point is usually & conveniently a 2 min walk away.

I will note that it’s a 20-30 min walk into the centre of the city from the riad, so coming back at night as 3 girls, we were always wary but never felt in danger.

Staff is nice. 20 mns from Jamaa el fans. Parking near by in the street near Bab yakout (not sure of real safety) Room is authentic, basic, but comfortable and average cleanliness. AC was working fine as it was got days. Shower head was falling off it’s base, so the room needs some TLC. Overall stay is OK

The room is clean, and the riad is beautiful. I really enjoyed the experience of staying here.
The staff are so friendly and helpful.
Breakfast is fresh and delicious.(French-style, but includes Moroccan pastries and cheese.)
The riad is about a 20-minute walk from Jemaa El-Fnaa, with plenty of shops and restaurants along the way.

Definitely would come back!

Outstanding, thank you to all the staff at Riad Couleurs du Sud for your warm yet welcoming hospitality. From instant communications when I booked the Riad, private pick up from Airport & back, very nice friendly welcome on arrival & for making sure my stay was very relaxed & comfortable. Customer Service, Hospitality, Cleanliness all 5 star. The location is perfect, felt safe walking around the area even at night time as a solo traveller. Without any hesitation I would book this Riad again & definitely recommended if you’re looking for the perfect stay in Marrakech.

I loved the location of this Riad, and how central it was to the gate and to other attractions in Marrakech. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and thebproperty was extremely clean and well-maintained. The only thing I would critique is the breakfast, which was included in the stay. It would have been nice if aomw fruit was provided in addition to the bread and pastries (oranges, avocado, bananas etc). Other than that I would recommend this Riad to everyone!

We really enjoyed our stay at Riad Couleurs du Sud.

Our room was clean and spacious. I particularly enjoyed the roof terrace, which had plenty of sun loungers, tables & chairs, and had a welcome breeze in the evenings.

Breakfast was tasty and the staff were flexible about serving it early when we had a full day tour and had to leave early.

The Riad staff were really helpful and friendly.

I was really pleased that I booked this particular Riad and would stay here again.

Hard to find the property , no signe just a small writing of the top of the riad’s name on the top of the door hard to see . The entree of the property was very dark and not attractive as it was on the picture .the room was dull and dirty . The bed sheets and the towels were changed only once . The breakfast was poor and everyday something was missing such as butter , milk …
The staff were not professional at all .

This friendly hotel were very welcoming. I had a taxi booked for both airport journeys. They also helped book some trips. Breakfast was good, although a little too much bread/cake for me (no fruit or salad). I was given a map and told some key places that I should visit in Marrakech . The bedroom and bathroom was made up and cleaned every day. The roof top terrace provided excellent sun bathing opportunities in the afternoon. Would highly recommend for lone travellers and couples.

Cute little Riad in the Medina. They have no windows or balconies from the outside, but inside there were lovely courtyards, a small pool and beautiful balconies with plants and birds. There were several places lounge. Had a wonderful breakfast and welcome tea/cookies. Everything was delicious.
The hosts were very polite and helpful. All smiles!

Wonderful experience!

The moment the front door opened, this Riad is amazing. From the mint tea during check in, home baked breakfast, fresh squeezed orange juice, darling decor and private comfortable room. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. Staying here was a pleasure and a wonderful retreat from the noisy, bustling streets of the Medina and souk. Every morning, little song birds would sing as we woke up with our coffee and breakfast in the courtyard. Highly recommend.

Amazing hospitality and recommendations

We absolutely loved our time at this Riad! greeted us with mint tea even though our flight was very delayed and we didn’t arrive until 1:45 am arrival. Carried up our luggage, cleaned rooms every night, cooks in kitchen were marvelous and when asked what the spices were to cook tangine, they allowed me into their kitchen to watch them make it. Clean kitchen, clean facilities. The manager met us at the gate upon arrival to assure security at 1:45 am. The hospitality was AMAZING. The breakfast was traditional and cooked in house by Moroccan women with SKILLS. Included fresh squeezed orange juice, coffee, milk, crepes, another pancake like breakfast item, pound cakes, jam and cheese similar to baby bell cheese. 10/10 WOULD RECOMMEND! Thank you Hassan, Mustafia, Souad & Imane! We will definitely return. Ps: only 15 minute walk from Jardín Marjorelle (great garden, def worth the trip).

Nice riad, poor service + lesson learned

The riad looks nice. Good breakfast, hot water, A/C in the room etc. However the service was not that great. It started with an incident and a lesson on arrival: the riad is close to Bab Yacout gate and after our driver left us we (four people) started walking following Google Maps (which helps a lot in the Medina, despite what some people might say). A youngster (early 20s?) asked me, very friendly, where I was from, if it was my first time in Marrakesh and where was my riad. Telling him that was a big mistake. Three other youngsters attached themselves to my party and followed as if to give directions, which I didn't need. I did pass the entrance by about 20 feet, my google maps showed me that and when I turned all four jumped with \"helpful\" directions. We arrived in front of the door surrounded by these four touts and I ringed the bell. It took 1-2 long minutes for the hostess to open and meanwhile one of the touts extracted 20 dinars ($2) for his \"help\". I thought this was way more than what he deserved. However all four became verbally extremely aggressive and after we entered the riad even more so. Well, the lady held the door wide open, allowing them to yell at me for a few minutes demanding $3-4 for each of them four! Threatening to call the police didn't help. Only after my strong insistence she closed the door. Was she on the side of the touts or what?

Separately, I had to ask for blanket (my bed had none) and soap a few times before getting any.

A little oasis of calm in the bustling medina

Really a very special place to stay in. You are made to feel so welcome the moment you walk in the door, and nothing is too much trouble. I stayed in the Topaz room and I loved it: warm and restful colours, comfortable bed, elegantly tiled bathroom and plenty of storage space. Breakfast is the same every day but it's generous and tasty. Location-wise you're about 10 minutes walk form the Jardin Majorelle and about 25 minutes from the Koutoubia Mosque at the other end of the medina. Loved it here and would definitely return.

Great Riad, bit out of town

Riad Couleurs du Sud was a great place to stay with the only problem for us being that it is a bit far from all of the action on the Medina. The Riad itself was lovely, the room was comfortable, the staff were really helpful and friendly and breakfast was great. It is a bit of walk into the souks and squares and it's not the most pleasant walk either. There are plenty of taxis readily available at the end of the street, however, so as long as you're happy to take a taxi or walk it's perfect.

Beautiful Riad

This truly is a beautiful riad and the staff really look after you, as soon as you enter the riad you are in tranquil surroundings, a peaceful place to relax, up on the rooftop is amazing in the evening and waking up to the sound of birds singing every morning is lovely, it is very clean and the staff are lovely people always there to help if needed.Once you step outside the riad though the madness of Marrakech hits you, the beggars constantly asking for money, taxi drivers following you asking if you need a taxi anywhere, I found it a very scary place, you are just never left alone, we got ripped off by a taxi driver who said one amount then at the end of the journey charged more,at the market a woman grabbed my teenage daughters arm and starting putting henna on it without even asking, we said no to her and rubbed off the henna, it is a shame I wanted to love marrakesh but came away never wanting to go back.I cannot fault the riad it was lovely but Marrakesh as a place I didn't like.

Riad situato nella medina ma vicino alla porta Bob Yacout che consente di uscire fuori dal centro in un attimo. È un Riad stupendo curato in ogni minimo dettaglio con una piccola piscina dove rinfrescarsi. Inoltre c'è una terrazza sul tetto dove ci si può rilassare la sera ammirando le stelle e godendosi un gradevole venticello . Dopo una giornata nei vicoli caotici e caldi della Medina entrare nel Riad è appagante in quanto è molto fresco nonostante le alte temperature fuori, silenzioso , pulito ed ordinato. Le camere sono dotate di wifi e di aria condizionata che noi abbiamo acceso poche volte in quanto sono molto fresche. La colazione è molto abbondante e fatta da loro con cose molto appetitose . I titolari Souad e Moustapha sono due persone splendide che si prodigano per far star bene i propri ospiti, usando mille attenzioni ma rimanendo al tempo stesso molto discreti.

Super leuke riad. Ontbijt is goed en heel lekker. Personeel vriendelijk. Kleine maar leuke kamers en badkamer. Wel erg gehorig. Om binnen in de riad te komen, moet je namelijk aanbellen dus deze bel hoor je de hele avond/nacht. Neem dus zeker oordoppen mee en dan is t een prima verblijf. Toch wel een stukje lopen naar alles.
