Riad l'Esprit des Patios & Spa

Perfect location. Easy working distance to the main square. Staff were so friendly and helpful. Arranging taxis, places to visit/eat. Hafida was excellent. Nothing was too much trouble for her. 😊

Breakfast was very enjoyable

Authentic Riad in the centre of Marrakesh. Excellent value and terrific staff. The breakfasts were delicious.

I stayed at Riad L'Esprit in Marrakech and had a mixed experience overall. Pros: The riad is absolutely beautiful inside, with a charming and authentic atmosphere. The rooftop terrace is a highlight — it features a small pool and the option to have breakfast there, which is a lovely touch. The staff were generally very kind and welcoming during my stay.

Cons: The breakfast could be significantly improved. It mainly consists of simple carbohydrates, with very limited protein (usually just a fried egg), and the selection is almost the same every day, which becomes repetitive. I also tried the spa services. The foot and leg massage was average, acceptable for the price. However, the pedicure was disappointing — one of my nails was cut too short, which caused it to bleed, and there was no apology from the staff member. The rooms are not well soundproofed. One night around 4 a.m., other guests were very loud inside the riad. Unfortunately, there was no noticeable response from the staff, and the noise continued for about an hour, which negatively affected the stay. The street leading to the riad can feel somewhat uncomfortable at night, with people sleeping outside in the later hours.
