Upon arrival, we were met at our car by one of the staff, who walked us to the riad, which turned out to be the best one we stayed in during our time in Marrakech. The AC worked perfectly, and the room was spacious, clean, and had all necessary amenities, even down to robes. The breakfast was plentiful, with a variety of sweet bakery items and fresh eggs cooked to your preference—definitely a great way to start the day. Before we headed out, the host kindly took the time to show us a map, explaining the walking routes to and from the medina, and offered useful safety advice regarding faux guides. Although we were already aware of these risks, it was a thoughtful and appreciated gesture. On the day of our departure, the host allowed us to store our luggage until the evening, which was incredibly helpful as we waited for our pre-arranged driver to take us to the airport. I believe the riad can arrange transfers, but we had already booked ours through Ali & Sara’s Desert Palace, who organized our entire Morocco tour—highly recommended for a custom itinerary and hassle-free travel. Overall, we felt we got exceptional value for the price we paid. A fantastic budget-friendly option. Thanks to everyone who took care of us!

Such a lovely peaceful place to stay, the staff were all lovely and helpful. On arrival gave us lots of information about the area and places to visit. Had a Hammam and massage which was super nice. Food was lovely, great breakfast plenty to eat and drink. Great location roughly 8 minute walk into the Medina square. Would definitely stay again if we went back to Marrakech.

Amazing staff, perfectly placed in Marrakech on a quiet street away from the noisy streets of the Medina. The riad is amazing, I’ve travelled to many countries and stayed in many hotels and this surpassed my expectations. The hotel has a great smell, like you’re in a day spa. The breakfasts are amazing, including pancakes, muesli, eggs, coffee, traditional tea, orange juice. The rooms are decorated really well and spacious. The pool area is very zen and we got a couples mammam scrub and massage in the riad which was amazing and good value for value. They even helped us do a load of washing complimentary which was a lifesaver. The staff helped us with organising taxis and giving tips on how to navigate your time in the city. I would 1000% recommend this hotel as the entire experience was 5star and really hope that people see this so they can experience it for themselves.

Absolutely nothing, I couldn’t recommend this place highly enough.

We stayed at this lovely riad in Marrakech, and it was exactly what we needed. The location was great—close to the center—and they arranged an easy airport pick-up, which made things super smooth. The riad was beautiful, photogenic, and very clean. Our room was perfect—comfortable, serviced daily, and a great place to unwind after a long day of exploring. The food was excellent, with plenty of variety to choose from. The views from the different floors were amazing and added a lot to the experience, especially during quiet moments in the mornings and evenings. What really stood out was the staff. They were genuinely kind, easy to talk to, and always available when we needed help. They weren’t just polite—they went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable. From arranging small things to giving us honest tips on places to visit and eat, they made us feel like we had locals on our side. It really made our trip feel smooth and enjoyable.

Great Riad, just out of the centre of the medina, really easy short walk to the main square and souks (be prepared for a huge amount of pedestrians and scooters, on extremely narrow streets). The Riad was a calm oasis, in a very busy city. Great staff, very welcoming and helpful. Food at the Riad was excellent and we loved spending time there. Accommodation was clean, simple and really comfortable. As the Riad was in a residential neighbourhood, we thought it may be quieter. However the street outside was very noisy with children playing until the early hours of the morning. Then a 5 am wake up with call to prayer from the mosque around 300 metres away. Sleep was limited and our trip was very tiring. This did not detract from the experience of the city and we would recommend everyone to visit and experience this amazing place. Just ask for a room away from the street.

- Ubication (5-10 minutes walking from the Jemaa el-Fnaa square) - Very nice and attentive staff - The room is cleaned every day - Good food service

- Noisy rooms (there is no adequate sound insulation) - Suggestion: drawing the attention of some customers who do not respect the rest and also the occupation of common areas without making use of them in order that other clients can use them

We had a really lovely stay at this riad, located in a charming part of town where locals still live, which gave it an authentic and welcoming feel. The riad itself is spacious, with 13 or 14 rooms, and beautifully designed with great attention to detail. We stayed in the Essaouira room — small but cozy, and it had everything we needed for our one-night stay. For a longer stay, we’d probably upgrade to a larger room, but for the night it was perfect. The staff were outstanding — extremely kind, polite, accommodated all our requests. A special mention goes to the hot pool in the evening, which was a wonderful surprise and a real treat after a long day. Highly recommended!

The riad is in good area- central, about 10-15minutes walk from the main square and the souks, but in the calmer area, which makes it safer and more comfortable at night. The staff is very friendly and helpful, we got the taxis arranged from/to the airport, tea, all the information needed, help with printing our boarding passes for the airport. Breakfast was nice, but was too sweet and lacked the variety of fruits for our liking. The Riad was very clean, our room has been cleaned everyday properly. The riad as well have the rooftop terrace to chill in the sun.

There are few tiny comments, what was not entirely perfect. The breakfast could have more fruits and more savory options. We haven't received slippers, even though we asked a couple of times, so it was weird to get around to the massage and to the pool in our sneakers (if the riad didnt have them, they should have just said so, we kept believing😀). The water in the pool could have been a bit warmer to the mid air temperature. Other than that it was very nice and calm stay.

We enjoyed a lovely 4 night stay at Riad l'Oiseau du Paradis in September. The property was lovely, and staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. Our room had air conditioning which was very welcome. The courtyard area by the pool was lovely for relaxing in at breakfast time, in the afternoon after exploring the city or as a spot to have a drink before bed. Our room was comfortable with a large wardrobe space and a bathroom with a shower, toilet and sink. There was a hairdryer provided as well as towels and some toiletries. We were able to arrange an airport collection and drop off for a reasonable price and this was well organised and it was easy to find our driver when we came out of the airport. The breakfast was plentiful and varied day to day, with different pastries and fruits served each day we were there. We also used the in-house spa facilities and enjoyed a refreshing hammam spa and massage. The Riad was about 10-15 minute walk from Jemaa el-Fnaa square. I would say that it does appear to be on the side of the town with not as many artisan types of shops or stalls compared to other parts, but I didn’t feel particularly unsafe walking to/from the riad. I particularly want to praise the staff during our stay – they were friendly and helpful, taking time when we arrived to provide us with a map and give us pointers on getting around. On the day we went to the new town, they arranged a taxi for us which meant we did not need to try and barter with a driver. I would highly recommend the Riad for anyone looking to stay in Marrakech. A bonus for us was that there was a lovely cat who would often be hanging around the courtyard area too.

The location isn't near to the nicer markets and some of the main attractions but I would say is still in walking distance from most places you would wish to go in the medina.

The staff at the Riad were exceptional. I am sorry I didn't get all their names. From the gentleman who greeted us on arrival, served us dinner on our first night and brought us drinks on the terrace after our Hamman. The gentleman who served breakfast and let us in when we came back late one night. The gentleman who went through the map of the city with us and gave us lots of really helpful suggestions on where to visit, local customs and useful tips regarding taxis and bargaining and who helped us book our Hammam and Massage treatment. Samir, who was also a constant during our stay and the only member of this exceptional team whose name I know. The professionalism, kindness and sense of humour of them all, really added to our stay and experience. They are all a great asset to the Riad. The Riad is beautifully decorated, with a spacious ground floor where breakfast and dinner are taken. Our room was Tanger on the second floor. The roof terrace was a beautiful and extensive space, set over two floors with sun loungers, sofas, alcoves and seating in different configurations, so there was plenty of outdoor space. You never felt crowded and there was plenty of room to sit in the sun or shade, relax, read, have a cold beer or some wine and sunbathe very comfortably. The breakfast was lovely, with different breads, cakes and fruits served daily and an option for eggs too. The warm brioche type buns were amazing. The housekeeping was excellent and everywhere - our room and public spaces, was exceptionally clean. We booked a transfer through the Riad and had dinner the night we arrived, as our flight arrived in the evening. The experiece was seamless and a great welcome to the City. Access to the main square was very straightforward from the Riad, just, left, right and left again. Not far to walk around 10 to 15 mins, with lots to look at. I am so glad we booked at L'oiseau du Paradis and would strongly recommend it to anyone else looking to visit Marrakech.

Nothing. My only disappointment was that the night we returned to Marrakech from Essaouira for one night before flying back to the UK, the Riad was fully booked, so we had to stay elsewhere.
