Extremely friendly and helpful in everything. Nothing too much trouble, ask and you will get... except for when they ran out of beer and white wine. The riad very close to everything for walking to the square, souks, palace etc. Our downside was the noise, we were on ground floor, a lovely room, but heard every noise from people above us as the floors are tiled you can hear everything and in the other rooms because it echoes everywhere. You wait for the final lock on the main front door so we knew everyone was back.! Then, the mosquito comes back!! It was usually about after 3pm we got to sleep, then woken up by the cleaners about 7.30. 😕 There is the Lovely sun terrace, and a terrace for eating or a bit of chill time with a beer or wine. The front door was just round the corner from us so heard all the comings and goings even very late at night and early morning for people going to hot air balloon flights, we had a mosquito in our room which was annoying, most nights didn't get to sleep till after 2pm. Breakfast was boring and the same each time..too much bread for us. The cat bit my hand at breakfast! wouldn't leave us alone. Felt exhausted after our 4 night break and just wanted to get back to my own bed.

Hidden gem in the medina
This is a gorgeous Riad within a few minutes of the busy streets of the medina, and at the same time secluded enough to be quiet and peaceful. The property is very stylish, clean and also modern and traditional at the same time. Our host, Ismail, was a delight. He has this dynamic and friendly energy that makes you smile. We definitely recommend this hotel.

Great experience
I had an exceptional stay at the local riad during my 3-day trip to Marrakesh. Its strategic location offered a shorter walking distance to main attractions like Jemaa el-Fna, and a conveniently close taxi point. The presence of local grocery stores and dining options nearby added to the convenience. Ismail, our dedicated host, went above and beyond in making our stay memorable. His genuine hospitality, especially towards our 8-month-old baby, made us feel truly cared for. The overall experience was delightful, and I highly recommend this riad for its excellent service and prime location.

Perfect Riad inside the medina
Our stay at Riad 58 Blu was perfect! It's location inside the medina made walking to many of the places that we wanted to visit easy. We appreciated the AC in the middle of the hot days. Our host Ismail was amazing! He gave practical advice about getting around, and was incredibly knowledgeable and welcoming. He served us a delicious breakfast on the rooftop each morning, and the evening dinners were a nice surprise, and the perfect way to end a busy day. The airport transfers made travel days easier. I would not hesitate to recommend Riad 58 Blu!

Ismael made our stay a memorable one in Marrakech. I was travelling with my Mother and he made sure to have a fruit for her with breakfast and to look after her. I told him on day 1 that it was gonna be my birthday during my stay at the Riad and he recommended a great restaurant. On our way back from dinner, he surprised us with a birthday cake that we shared with all the guest at the riad, we had a little dance party. He made that night special for me, home away from home. Thank you for all you did and looking out for us.

Thank you for your review, it is very important for us to improve ourselves. I would like to clarify a few things: The car park is 10 meters from the Riad and on the Hotels.com website it says that it is paid, in the medina the Riads do not have parking. The AC worked but it was the remote that previous customers broke. The next day everything was fixed. We also changed rooms because your reservation was made for 2 people and you were 3. For the sink and shower it is true that the water goes down slowly, thanks for letting us know and it has already been fixed. Greetings from Marrakech

Riad 58 Blue is an amazing place, close to the main square Djamma el Fna, some nice restaurants are around. The rooftop is a great sunset spot. Helpful staff are always around. Not-so-good were the airport transfers which were included in our rate but they made us pay for and the driver was delayed for pick-up at the airport.

I stayed at Riad 58 Blu with my partner for 5 days and absolutely loved it. Firstly our pick up from the airport was there on time by the time we arrived into Marrakech airport. Then the on-site manager (Ishmael) greeted us upon our arrival. Ishmael’s hospitality really elevated the whole trip. He was super friendly, and as it was our first time visiting Marrakech he had plenty of advice and tips to share. Not to mention he was very attentive and remembered our breakfast preferences. Also a tip from me, do have a dinner here, especially if Ishmael is cooking his chicken tagine. Easily one of the best tagines I’ve ever had.

Lovely spot, definitely not far from Jemaa El fenna and the souks. I loved the free airport shuttle and the flexibility at check in times. I had the pleasure to meet Paolo and exchange on a couple of topics. He is obviously very knowledgeable of Marrakech and what to do around. I didn't sleep at the room I booked online.

Riad 58 Blu was far and away the best place I stayed in Morocco! The Riad was beautiful, clean, and located in the perfect location for exploring Marrakech. Being inside the Medina area made everything close at hand, while only being a short walk away from all the amenities of the new city. It was a very quiet and secure space nested within the hustle and bustle of Medina life. Paolo the owner was friendly, personable, and gracious throughout my stay. Ismael, the onsite manager, was friendly and helpful with recommendations on local activities and experiences. I travelled through all the major cities in Morocco during a month of travel, and then I found Riad Blu. It was such a perfect location I decided to slow down and relax, and extended my stay for two more weeks.

Parfait du début à la fin
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour au Riad 58 Blu. Le riad en lui-même est charmant et décoré avec goût : un véritable havre de paix et de calme, idéalement situé dans la ville, à quelques minutes à pied des principaux lieux à visiter (Jamaa el Fna, Palais etc.). Nous avons été merveilleusement accueillis, avec beaucoup d'attention, de bienveillance, d'humour, de tact et de générosité. Sans oublier la chance que nous avons eue, l'un des soirs, de déguster au riad un couscous aussi délicieux que mémorable. En tout point parfait pour passer un séjour agréable, joyeux et reposant.

An exceptional find
This was an exceptional stay. The hotel is as elegant as a palace, but small and intimate enough to feel like a home away from home. Ismael was just an amazing host. We ate dinner on the roof of the hotel due to COVID curfews that were still in place but I’d highly recommend booking your own dinner there. Such delicious couscous and tagine.
