Reviews of Riad Lapis-lazuli

Great accommodation at great location, staff is really nice and helpful with everything. It has big and nice rooftop where you can enjoy morning sun or chill in the evening.

Amazing stay in the heart of Marrakech! We had a wonderful experience at this riad. The location is perfect — right in the Medina, close to everything, yet peaceful and quiet inside. The riad is beautifully decorated, clean, and full of charm. The rooftop has a stunning atmosphere — so peaceful and beautifully set up, especially magical at sunset. The hosts were truly amazing — warm, welcoming, and always ready to help. A special thanks to Abdu and Yassine, who went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. Highly recommended!

Super stay in a fabulous Riad! Matt is a wonderful host and the Riad is beautiful. Breakfast was fabulous and our kids enjoyed the plunge pool. We spent a evening relaxing on the beautiful roof terrace. Thank you 10/10

- Very good location walking distance from the city center - Excellent service and help from the personal - There is a small Terrace - Decent Breakfast

- There is no door in the bathroom room rather a curtain which could be uncomfortable.

Great stay, very helpful staff, amazing breakfast, 25 min walk to main square.

The location even though it was close to the main square, it was a bit confusing in regards of going through the narrow streets, and also a bit difficult to go with a car and park there, but apart from that, everything was great.

The location is perfect; a short 10 min walk from the center, so you don't need a car but you are still in a relatively calm area. The rooftop and pool are wonderfull, the breakfast is local and good. All staff are very friendly, especially ABDOU who really takes care of the guests and will help requesting taxis, etc.

Very litte sound isolation in the rooms, you can hear the guests in the next room coughing as if you were next to them. You get used to it, but this is the major critique of this riad.

1. Staff was great. People are caring, nice and kind. Always helping out, providing tips, even drew a map on how to get to the most important locations in the area. 2. Riad is very clean even with an open roof, it's a pleasure for an eye. 3. Nice rooftop terrace. We brought a bottle of wine, staff provided the opener and glasses. Didn't charge us extra even though the rules on the door state the 50 MAD fee per bottle. 4. Every breakfast had a great fresh orange juice. 5. A cute little pool in the middle of the riad, however, only children swam there. update: 6. Breakfast is served between 8 and 10 am. We had a tour scheduled early and asked if it is possible to serve breakfast at 6:30. They helped out and did serve it this early in the morning.

1. The rooms are really really tiny. There is almost not enough space to open your luggage. We asked not to clean the room, since we didn't have space to sort our clothes, they were just laying around. 2. Bathroom is separated from the bedroom by a transparent curtain. One guest had to go outside if another wanted to have some privacy in the toilet. 3. The shower hose was leaking badly. To the point I had to wash myself while holding the hose above me to get some water. 4. No soap in the bathroom. 5. No toothbrushes or toothpaste. Requested the toothbrushes and only got 1, but it's ok. 6. No iron in the riad. I was traveling for the conference and couldn't iron my shirts. 7. According to the rules, you can't bring food or drinks (even non-acloholic ones) to the riad. However, we asked to have dinner ordering delivery and all was good. 8. Breakfast is 1 egg, 1 moroccan pancake, bread, butter and assortment of jellies. It got old pretty fast. 9. People in the neighbourhood try to scam you by stating that the road ahead is closed. Staff warned us about it so we just ignored them every time. However, it still wasn't a pleasant experience. update: 10. Breakfast is served between 8 and 10 am. We had a tour scheduled early and asked if it is possible to serve breakfast at 6:30. They replied "I don't know what to tell you, normally it's at 8am but OK at 6:30am no problem." They helped out and did serve it. However, do not expect to have "packed breakfast" that you typically get in the hotels. Moreover, they reached out via whatsapp after left the review asking why i skipped that part. 5.1. Turns out, the requested toothbrush – the host bought it out of his own pocket. He also asked me in whatsapp if he should have gave it to me on my first day in the room. Just keep in mind, that it is not a hotel and you should not expect your typical hotel experience.

Very typical / authentic riad experience. Nice roof terrace. Very nice staff, good advices and service.

Rooms are a little dark and not very isolated from noise. Privacy aspects could be improved.

The property was very comfortable and the staff were amazing, really helpful but not over the top. The rooms were very clean and met all expectations

Nothing

The staff was absolutely amazing! Abdul was the best host and so generous! The rooms were clean and the rooftop was a perfect way to end our days.

After booking, Matthieu sent me tons of helpful travel tips via Booking.com, which was amazing. I also arranged airport pickup through them, and everything went smoothly. Abdou was like the ultimate host—carrying our bags, helping us get local SIM cards, drawing us maps, and giving us all the key info we needed. He was *so* thoughtful! Every morning, he prepared delicious breakfasts and checked in to make sure we weren’t tired or missing anything. The Riad itself is gorgeous too! The room had plenty of space for even our huge suitcases, and the sofa was super comfy. *Thank you both* for your incredible hospitality—you made our Marrakech trip absolutely perfect! ❤️🥰🙏

I liked the location of the riad itself and the staff were very helpful and accommodating. Especially with Abdou, who gave us some tips on what to do and what should we be cautious about. He also gave us some local recommendations on where to eat and it was the best!

We initially booked the standard twin room, but we weren’t happy with the room because it had a smell and the toilet didn’t looked good. So we asked them to be transferred to a new room, and the new room was way much better and nicer. Also, the wifi was a bit slow. But other than that, nothing else.

The riad was lovely and quiet. Matthew and Abdu were amazing and great hosts. It was beautiful staying in such historical surroundings in the old part of the city.

No kettle in room to be able to make a tea or coffee.

Very good and very polite people

Everything is good

Thank you so much for a great stay- the riad was beautiful and cosy, and the staff were so friendly and helpful. We also liked the fact that it’s set a bit further out- perfectly walkable to everything, but provides some respite from the chaos

Wifi not so strong

Massive thank you to staff: Matthieu, Abdou, and Fatia for exceptional service! Very friendly, supportive, informative! We felt looked after, like at home. Amazing breakfasts in great atmosphere. We meet amazing people, we eaten delicious food. Also place in great location in old town. Very close to taxi place, but most of the time we were walking.

The accommodation was beautiful and very comfortable, the breakfast was really nice Abdou was great, he gave us loads of information for our trip. I would definitely recommend staying at the Lapis-Lazuli

All good 😊

The friendly staff. Gave us information how to get around and gave us tips on things to visit. We had a chicken tagine one evening which was lovely. Great breakfast and mint tea. Thank you for your hospitality.

Everything was really good.

I mostly loved the atmosphere. Marrakesh can be quite crowded if you’d like to see the markets so to come back to a hotel that offers a retreating home causes your trip to be balanced out perfectly!

I don’t have anything negative to say to be honest!

Loved the property. Riad had opening and closing roof, which helped to keep the warmth in January, when it was extremely cold.

Breakfasts are very simple
