Hivernage Hotel And Spa

8/10 Good

"We had a lovely time there in terms of service. They did give me and my husband"

Le Riad Monceau

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at this riad was exceptional from beginning to end. The property is absolutely beautiful, with incredible Moroccan design, a peaceful courtyard, stunning lighting, and an atmosphere that feels both luxurious and genuinely welcoming. What made the experience truly special, though, was the staff. Everyone went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and taken care of. The hospitality felt personal rather than rehearsed, and that made a real difference. The live music by the pool was one of the highlights of the weekend. Sitting in such a beautiful setting while listening to the band created one of those travel moments you know you will remember long after the trip is over. The riad was elegant, relaxing, full of character, and easily one of the best parts of our time in Marrakech. I would absolutely stay here again and recommend it without hesitation. This is not a five-star review. It is a six-star review trapped inside a five-star system."

Marrakech Riads, Angsana Heritage Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Pour notre 1er voyage à Marrakech ce Riad nous a complètement charmé. Il est à la fois très beau, très agréable, bien placé pour les visites de la médina et le personnel y a été agréable. Les petits déjeuners typiques et variés proposés tous les matins sont très bons et le dîner au restaurant était également délicieux ! Nous y reviendrons avec plaisir."
