My friend and I stayed a week at Clef's. We given a warm welcome from Morad. We had mint tea and biscuits and he marked out places to visit in Marrakech. The room was spacious with an ensuite, the beds were made and towels replaced whenever we required. The breakfast each morning consisted of different breads and spreads and amazing citrus pancakes which we had to get the recipe for! The coffee was also delicious and of a generous serving! The owner Laila was also very welcoming and took time to chat with us; she has created a beautiful space with amazing staff. Morad, Ayob and Mustafa were highlights of the place, nothing was too much of an ask and it was lovely to feel comfortable and have a chat when we crossed paths. A big shout out to Morad as he went above and beyond to source packaging materials for purchases we made and had to send home. He also weighed our parcels and inquired about the prices at the shipping company! We would definitely stay here again and will recommend this lovely accommodation to any friends and family that plan to visit Marakech. Thank you so much Clefs

Nothing

Everything has been exceptional. Laila is the kindest host and the riad is so peaceful and thoughtfully curated. We stayed in the Blue Room; it was incredibly quiet at night and the linens and pillows were amazing. My partner and I slept so well! The breakfast was abundant and typical (small note: it could be even better by offering fresh cheese and fruit!). We decided to dine at the riad one evening after a tour in Essaouira and the food was the best we had throughout our entire vacation – absolutely mouthwatering! Thanks for the amazing stay – we’ll definitely be back if we’re ever in Marrakesh again

Nothing

When we decided to go to Marrakech, we were looking to have one Riad experience and this place has been totally fulfilling our expectation. The Riad, one authentic one, is really well placed (10 min walk to Marrakech center, in one historical and quiet environment, really appreciating it as relaxing after a long day of walking within Marrakech)(and only 15 min drive to the airport). Besides, people were always there to answer your questions/needs/requirements, really gentle and polite. And the place is well decorated, calm, with a great rooftop. Eventually, special thanks to all employees as we really enjoyed our 3 days stay there.

The staff were wonderful, we left our bags in the morning before check in and went off to explore. Morad greeted us with a smile, a map and some really helpful tips to get around the city and fair prices for a taxi journey. Later when checking in we enjoyed some mint tea and later that evening we dined on a delicious banquet of tagine and moroccan salad on the roof terrace. Our room was a clean, comfortable and stylish haven, the whole riad was a tranquil retreat away from the hustle and bustle of the busy medina and chaos of the city. It was a perfect location just a short walk from many of the historical sights and the busy square. It felt like a very safe area and the neighbours were friendly and warm. The breakfasts every morning were varied and delicious, a smorgasbord of traditional Moroccan delights. Would highly recommend! Thank you Morad and the rest of the team.

Watch your head on the beautiful front door if you are taller than 5'5" 😆

The perfect riad/hotel for my stay! The location is fantastic with just a few minutes walk to restaurants, shops, nearly anything you’d want is walkable and taxis are easily available as well. The owner and staff of the Riad were incredible! So welcoming and happy provide legitimate recommendations and anything you might need. There is a calming little pool with a fountain on the first floor and a beautiful, relaxing seating area on the rooftop. Pictures below of the sweetest cat of the riad relaxing with me.

The bed was a bit firm for me, but that’s just my preference. I’m sure most people will like. The room was very clean and comfortable.

Amazing experience at the Riad Clefs d'Orient. The staff was excellent and super friendly and helpful. They went above and beyond what would be expected of a hotel service. They gave awesome recommendations of things to do. The room was amazing, beautiful. It felt very authentic, and all things in the room were locally sourced. The Riad was very clean, and smelled amazing. Light and pleasant orange blossom smell in the entire property! The breakfast was good and filling, typical Moroccan food to complete the full Moroccan experience. Highly recommended!

I liked everything

The staff were extremely welcoming, helpful and hospitable. We were greeted with Moroccan tea and biscuits and were then given suggestions about where to go and what to see. The Riad was gorgeous - both the terraces, the patio area as well as the rooms. Location was good as it was a short walk to popular areas. Would come back here in a heartbeat!

Nothing!

From the moment we arrived we were greeted and taken to our room which was amazing. The Riad itself is beautiful with a lovely interior and various open spaces to relax. The staff were exceptional and very helpful. They gave us tips for stay as it was our first time in Morocco. The staff even organised a day trip to the desert for us, which included a camel ride, Quad biking a lovely dinner and a show. The breakfast every morning was delicious! Freshly made for a time we decide, no complaints at all! Location wise the riad is perfect.. not far from the souks and the square - maybe a 10 minute walk. A mosque is 5 minutes away from the riad and loads of cafes and restaurants close by. Big emphasis on how beautiful the Riad is and how lovely the staff are. A big thank you to them, especially Mohammad. It was a lovely experience - we will definitely visit again.

No complaints at all.

The breakfasts were marvelous. Daily variety, good quality, healthy, generous quantity. Moroccan French fusion. Beds are super comfortable. It was surprisingly peaceful given the activity all around.

Would be helpful to have very detailed information about how to find the Riad. It is tucked away on a Kasbah side street that is inaccessible by taxi and Google maps wasn't much help.

We could not fault anything! The rooms were spotlessly clean and tastefully decorated in the Moroccan style. All the staff were superb, going over and above expectation to advise us on the best places to go, what to avoid and to answer our questions about customs, traditions and food. Kamal made various suggestions for tours and even personally drove us to the meet point some 30 minutes away so we could take an excursion. Naoura, our cook, made the most delicious breakfast breads and omelettes, remembered our preferred beverages each morning and greeted us always with the most warming and welcoming smile. We opted to eat at the Riad one night and Naoura cooked the most delicious fragrant and tender chicken with lemon. The salad she prepared was equally wonderful, no doubt a time consuming salad as the tomatoes and peppers had been skinned, and with all the other ingredients added, inspired us to make it once we were back home.The owners were so kind, friendly and hospitable. We always had chilled bottled water and even as we left the hotel on our final day, were given warm brioches fresh from the oven. We loved the tranquil and traditional dining area, with running water, fresh flowers, and abundant green plants, the natural light, and ambiance of clever lighting and candles. A real sanctuary and peaceful haven, after being out in the heat and dust of the city. The attention to detail could not be faltered. Our room had a beautiful fragrance and the shower wash had delightful scents of orange blossom, neroli and thyme. Even the shower with its huge head and abundant water was sheer pleasure.

The fact that WE didn’t book a longer stay! We definitely plan to return and will tell our friends what a fantastic Riad we had found.
