On our first trip to Morocco, Riad Joya became our home in Marrakech. It has many merits. The manager, Noureddine, is a master of hospitality. His small team is just as outstanding, starting with the dear Fannane. The room was spacious, comfortable, impeccably clean, and welcoming. Everything worked perfectly. Dates, almonds, fruit, flowers, and water were replenished daily. A premium airport transfer is included in the daily rate—essential for finding the Joya in the labyrinth of the medina. Great Moroccan-style breakfast. Be sure to have at least one meal there. At the dinner we had, we tasted the most delicious and refined tagine of our entire trip through the country.

The Wi-Fi could be better, but the instability seems structural, as we experienced the same in all the riads we stayed at in other cities.

The breakfast was efficiently served and ample. The staff were extremely helpful and pleasant and always there to greet when we arrived back. The owner even helped us to book tickets for the Jonelle Gardens. The location could not have been better and the transport to and from the airport was extremely efficient.

The builders next door made some noise but this would not affect future guests and there was a pigeon roosting outside the bathroom window but when the building has finished I don't think this would be a problem for future guests.

A little oasis in the heart of a bustling medina. If it’s central you’re looking for, location couldn’t be better. A lovely warm welcome from the friendliest of staff at Riad Joya. The property was spotless, with water and fruit constantly topped up in the room. Would highly recommend the organised pick up and stop off as otherwise the property could be tricky to find until you become familiar with the narrow, twisty streets. Huge thanks to Nouradine and his team for looking after us so well. I would very much recommend Riad Joya.

Breakfast could have been a little more varied. I don’t eat bread or pastries, of which there were plenty. In saying that, I had fruit, yoghurt and eggs each day which were delicious.

Our stay at Riad Joya was absolutely fantastic. The room was very big and clean. Cleanings happened multiple times a day with fresh towels on a daily basis. Bottled water and fresh fruits were also refilled daily. On top of that, it was centrally located, making it super easy to stroll to the city's attractions and restaurants. Breakfast was a feast! Moroccan pancakes, shakshuka, and all kinds of egg dishes. Fresh fruits and pastries were a daily treat. We also had some little surprises that made our stay even better. The owner surprised my wife with champagne and a lovely birthday message made of rose petals. Also, when we left, the owner gifted us many Moroccan spices, no charge. Beyond that, he guided us with directions and even negotiated great deals for us. In summary, Riad Joya deserves a solid five stars. It's not just a stay; it's an experience we'll remember. If you want a great service and a memorable stay, this is the place for you.

Riad Joya was indeed a joy to visit. All the staff were friendly and accommodating, in particular our host Nouredinne who suggested and booked restaurants and tours for us. Nothing was too much trouble. I would highly recommend. This is a small Riad with 7 rooms so the service is very personal.

It's not so much what we didn't like but the small communal seating area just off the courtyard could be made more comfortable and sumptuous.

Beautiful property, in a fantastic location just a couple of minutes from El Fnaa Square, so very easy to situate yourself if lost which can easily be done in the Souks of Marrakech. Staff were always available and helpful, our room was cleaned every time we left the villa with new water and fresh fruit replaced each time. So beautiful and calm and quiet, in the midst of all the hustle and bustle.

Breakfast could have been a little more expansive, with the same relatively minimal selection of fruit, breads and eggs offered each day.

Loved this place. The personal service was fantastic and made every difference to our stay. Breakfast was delicious - lovely mix of traditional Moroccan food. Felt like we were waited on hand and foot. Tea was brought to us on the terrace, there were recommendations for local restaurants. It's extremely safe and quite - a little oasis. The rooms are gorgeous too, beautiful, clean, tasteful. Loved it.

Dream stay - fantastic location, beautiful room, exceptional staff who were incredibly polite, very helpful with their recommendations and also arranging for airport transfer. The room was the perfect size, very quiet, very comfy bed, huge shower - snacks provided in the form of dates and fruit, with a fresh bottle of water whenever we returned.

Nothing - it was the perfect stay!

We cannot speak highly enough about our stay at Riad Joya. The location is fantastic - literally minutes away from the markets and a few minutes walk from the main square. There was a great selection of cafes and restaurants within walking distance too. The riad itself is absolutely beautiful. It's beautifully decorated, calm and quiet, and all facilities were very well kept. The breakfast was delicious and fresh every morning and the meal we had in the restaurant was exceptional. However, without doubt, what made our stay in Marrakech so memorable was the staff at Riad Joya. From the moment we arrived, we were treated exceptionally well by all staff with manager Noureddine serving us traditional Moroccan tea and pastries to welcome us. We returned to the our room several times a day and each time found the room had been cleaned and tidied again and fresh water left for us. Nothing we asked was too difficult a request and Noureddine organised a variety of different activites and bookings for us. We very much hope to return to Marrakech and will not hesitate in booking Riad Joya again.

A smooth transfer from the airport to this gem of a road in busy Marrakech. Despite being in the heart of the excitement, it’s incredibly quiet, peaceful and a restful hotel. It’s an inspiring stay with its beautiful design as well. Above all else, the hotel staff was magnificent and available for any needs. Bravo, Riad Joya!
