Riad Lea

A traditional Riad with the rooms all situated around a central courtyard. Roof terrace with jacuzzi ideal for sitting out and relaxing. There are only 5 rooms - 2 twin rooms on the ground floor and 3 doubles upstairs. All windows in the rooms face out to the courtyard. Breakfast is a mix of fresh juice, fruit, yoghurt and lovely freshly cooked pancakes and cakes. Good coffee and mint tea. A dinner menu is available each evening (to order in advance). A fridge with soft drinks to buy is available ( very handy for water and juice etc). Ideally located within 15 mins walk of the main square but shops and restaurants all nearby. Staff were friendly and did what they could to ensure stay was as good as possible.

It is hard to say I didn’t like something as that it a very personal thing. People could say the location was not great as the side streets leading to the Riad are not the best - but that is the vast majority of side streets in the old town.. and houses were built to be nothing outside with decorations only inside... Yes, some small details in the Riad could be improved, plants better looked after etc. but that did not impact on the enjoyment of our stay. The twin rooms are on the small size but that cannot be changed.

Location within the Medina and easy access to all sights on foot. Riad was easy to find although we did arrange a pickup on arrival. It is close to the Laarouss Car parking but so if you wanted taxis they are easy to get from here( we didnt but they were always there asking) Spa was refreshing after walking the medina. Quiet location. Good restaurants close by. Hicham the night and breakfast manager was very friendly. Hassan was welcoming . Breakfast was satisfactory but basic. We were worried about getting lost but never did and we went right through the souks on search of rugs (3)..Pictures on booking.com are a good representation of this Riad

We did not get the room we booked and were promised by Hassan the manager. Marrakech was our final stay in Morocco so we wanted specific things for this stay...1. a bright room(specifically not red as they are dark) 2. A balcony with outside seating. Ambre room had both of these features so we contacted the property before we booked to be assured that this was the room we would get. I had a very prompt reply from Hassan stating that of course we could have the Ambre room. On arrival we were given the Corail room which was red and had no outdoor seating. We had 6 nights booked and were told the Ambre was taken, the Ambre room had different people each night...very annoying. Corail was very dark and the air conditioning was just adequate. We were lucky that the weather was cooler.

Hassan, was very helpful, polite and a great host, the place itself is rustic but charming, breakfast was different with thin crumpets and special fig preserve, also there was a spread just tastes like peanut butter, so my hubby was made up. You can get the odd hieneken or glass of wine, but if your looking for a drinks holiday then this is not for you, we would recommend the Riad lea, very good experience.
