Very pleasant stay. The Riad is a bit hidden in a small street, but when the door opens you feel like beeing in another world of luxury and comfort.

To short stay - only 2 days.

As soon as I arrived Laurence, Said and Alain were there to personally welcome me. Laurence spoke excellent English which I was so grateful for (I'm ashamed to say English is all I can speak!). I was also grateful for all of the advice and help regarding tours and shopping. The attention to detail at the riad was superb, right down to fresh flowers in the room during my entire stay and welcoming cups of Moroccan tea offered every day on my return from outings. Highly recommended.

This small, intimate riad totally met our expectations. The design/decor was charming...Moroccan flavor with French attention to detail; Alain and Laurence, the innkeepers were lovely and helpful and the staff were wonderful! Latifah, the cook, even let me watch her in the kitchen while she cooked and Khadija, another staff member wrote down recipes for me. Big highlight of our time in Marrakech! Said was always there, ready to help and answer any questions which might come up. The location was perfect! The whole experience couldn't have been better.

Nothing we didnt like!

Laurence was an amazing host and made us both feel very welcome as well as giving some great advice about things to do. It was a very calming atmosphere in the Riad and a nice escape from the outside noise.

Only thing was that the pool was too cold to dip in to

Hi all, I have to say I'm still amazed about this riad. I think it is truly wonderful, the rooms, the food, the staff and especially their owners. Definitely recommended. A pleasure and hope to return soon, Cristina and Adrian.

A charming little hotel, with very friendly and helpfull stuff. Very clean! The location is perfect, very close to the El Fna Place, but in a small side street so its quiet. We enjoyed our visit and would recommend it.

I can't recommend the Riad Charme d'Orient highly enough. It is an oasis of calm and relaxation - a welcome retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city. The beautiful decor, attentive and friendly staff, formidable breakfasts, and the warm welcome and help we received from Laurence and her husband all contributed to a very enjoyable stay. Location is good, too.

Nothing to dislike.

A beautiful riad with extremely friendly owners, it feels like home! Said, the manager was the best! What a friendly guy. Warmly recommend this riad.

Unfortunately there were no possibility to eat dinner at the riad although it said that you could do so! That was a shame since the location of the riad is a bit away from the nice restaurants! We stayed 3 nights and found it a struggle to find good restaurants in the neighbourhood.

The owners were extremely helpful , warm and welcoming. Useful suggestions were plentiful. Over the top assistance with help on retrieving lost luggage from airport. They made you feel like a guest in their own home.

From the moment you enter the rhiad Laurence, the hostess, can not do enough for you - organising taxis, explaining where places are, recommending restaurants and ensuring your holiday is going well. The rhiad was perfect for exploring the old city being close to the temples and main square. The breakfast was excellent and the evening meals were intimate and well presented. The rooms had every attention to Morrocan detail and were spotless.There were comfortable, quiet corners in the rhiad and a sunny roof terrace to curl up with a book. It was in the Kasbah so was down a small alley which all added to the authenticity of the experience.

There was nothing we didn't like.

I wish there was a rating higher than 'excellent'!! From the first moment that we were greeted at the Riad, I felt so warmly welcomed. The staff is wonderful and attentive, and the rooms are extraordinary. The riad has a great location for walking all over Marrakesh, and is also an oasis of peace an quiet in a busy city. Thank you Laurence, Said, Alain and all of the staff - you provided a wonderful home away from home!

Laurence, Alain and Said will welcome you with open arms and set the tone with wonderful customer service right from the moment you step out of the cab. The Riad is just simply gorgeous, in a great location and customer service everyone desires!!! Would go back there in a heart beat!!!

There is not one bad thing to say about this Riad, simply amazing!

Beautiful riad in the heart of the city. Well positioned to access all the main sites. We stayed in Moulay which was perfectly designed in a moroccon style with a big bathroom. The breakfast was amazing and served up on the roof top terrace. I would strongly recommend ordering dinner at the hotel - you have to order in the morning and it isn't cheap but it is delicious. very romantic too as more often than not you'll be the only couple in the dining area. In summary, I would recommend this riad for its exceptional service (laurence, alain and said are always there to help you personally with any advice or bookings you require) and its beautiful design.

Definitely book airport transfer - you'll struggle to find the place otherwise!

This riad is a little gem. It has only been open for 2.5 years and everything inside is brand new and of amazing taste. Laurence is a wonderful hostess. She does it with the heart and as a guest, you will feel incredibly looked after. She works so hard in the riad, taking care of every little detail. Our room was very nice (Moulay Ahmed on the first floor) and offered privacy. The riad also has a great terrace and a brand new glass roof which makes it probably the only riad in Marrakech to have that sort of roof protection over the central patio. Good breakfast, very central position. We highly recommend it (and we are fussy, typically only go to 4-5 stars hotels).
