This was a very special situation: 1. I had to make my own way from Casablanca to Marrakech after my flight was cancelled. Ibrahim from the riad directed my driver by phone and met me at the entrance to the medina. This alone was a great comfort for a weary traveler. 2. During our evening out, the earthquake hit. Giovanna and Ibrahim sent a hired driver, Yusuf, to bring us back to the riad to collect our baggage. Yusuf drove us to our ultimate destination in the middle of the night. Any one of these actions was above and beyond their duties as hosts, especially since they had their own safety to consider. Not only are we all grateful to Giovanna and Ibrahim, we will remember them forever! PS I never even slept in my room, so I can't comment, but it looked beautiful.

The earthquake!

Beautifully furnished, high quality, characterful, dipping pool, central location, easy walking distance to souks, squares and city highlights. Welcoming, caring and attentive staff. Fantastic healthy breakfasts, differing each day. So helpful in organising our excursions and airport transfer.

We had a great stay at the riad! It’s located just on the edge of the medina and less than 2 minutes away from Koutoubia - so convenient for getting to restaurants, bars, and transport links. It’s very pretty inside and has a lovely rooftop. The breakfast was great too, we were offered lots of fresh food and LOTS of lovely mint tea. They also offer dinner too which is made upon request which was great, especially upon our late arrival as we were too tired to venture outside for food. The staff were amazing as well; Ibrahim gave us lots of information about Marrakesh.

Our stay was amazing. The only issue we experienced was a blocked shower drain, but that was quickly resolved!

Location is perfect, just 5 minutes walk from Laksour Medina gate - taxi drop off/pickup point and about 8 minutes walk to main Medina Square - Djemaa El Fna. However, for arrival book riyad shuttle service, it will be difficult to find it on your first day. Marianne (host) and Ibrahim (24/7 receptionist) really very helpful and friendly. Breakfast at the riad roof is also very good

Book your room on the 1st or second floor. My room was on the ground floor and you can hear everything in the internal courtyard, as traditional room door not give any sound isolation.

Great Staff. Ibrahim's great spirit, attentiveness, smile, and warm heart made the place feel like home. Everyone is so amazing and loving. The Riad feels like a sanctuary. Ibrahim was so attentive to our gluten allergy and made us Gluten free bread and made sure there is no cross-contamination. I can't say enough about how wonderful our experience was. I hardly ever write a review but I felt a strong sense of duty to write a review about this amazing place.

Breakfast was very good , local fresh food of high quality and quantity more than enough . The riad is well situated , just a short walk from the big place. Is very clean and the staff was very attentive to our needs , supplying extra covers for the night , organizing excursions and even cooking for us when we were tired to get out to a restaurant . By the way the best local meals we had were at the riad . They should promote their kitchen more !

The staff is very polite, detailed and helpful. They served us tea and biscuit upon arrival. The staff also provided a small map, explained the route and they also gave us the list of restaurants that we could visit. The accommodation is very clean and quiet. Although we have slight miscommunication in the transportation fee, however they had resolved it and we were very satisfied. The staff are very helpful and warm welcoming!

This is a gorgeous and peaceful Riad in a great location inside the Medina. 5 mins walk to the souks and 7 mins to the main square. El Fenn is a 3 min walk. Beautifully decorated, with stylish touches, a lovely roof terrace and cosy corners. We were welcomed warmly by the owner with tea and served a simple but delicious Moroccon dinner on the rooftop. Breakfast was also great. We were treated so well by the staff and in particular Ibrahim, who was a delight and couldn't do enough for us.

The double beds are small (but comfy)and in a room booked for 3 adults, we had one friend on a small single futon, that was not really ideal for an adult.

I really cannot recommend Riad La Lumière d'Étoile enough! The property is in a perfect location, gorgeously decorated, the breakfast is delish, and wifi is great. They go out of your way to make you feel welcome, orient you to the city, and overall just make you feel at home! Whether its relaxing in the courtyard, the beautiful rooftop, or your room - its a perfect place to relax and enjoy.

- Location is very close to whatever you need in the medina - Friendly and easygoing staff - Tea & coffee whenever you need it - Cozy terrace - Great bathroom and supplements i.e. shampoo, conditioner, body crème - Eclectic design

- Breakfasts are rather small and not rich in nutrients e.g. very low in protein: having an omelette would solve that for me. Usually your breakfast will be 80% gluten products like several kinds of bread and pancakes, 20% are left for jams and fruits or vegetables. - It may get loud early in the morning due to people moving in and out. You are gonna hear everything 100%. However, don’t let this turn you from this place, riad is terrific and cozy: just bear in mind that you are very likely to go search for a breakfast in some other place.
