I booked the Riad Bleu du Sud based on the prices, reviews, and the stunning photos of the riad, which looked prettier, more colorful, and more ornate than other riads. I was not disappointed. The staff were all incredibly kind and welcoming. I cannot stay enough great things about the staff. Every morning the delicious breakfast was different so that we could try a variety of local breads and pastries, in addition to fruit/yogurt. Coffee and tea were wonderful. Different colored tablecloth each day, and different colored towels each day in the rooms. The attention to detail was so appreciated. Breakfast was a moment of peace each day with the sound of a lovely fountain in the background. We were served a lovely tea upon arrival, and were offered lots of information about Marrakech. The room and entire riad were gorgeous. We stayed for about 4 days and were really sad to leave. The riad was quiet and I slept well. I would recommend arranging transportation from the airport through the riad in advance because that will greatly facilitate your arrival. We forgot to arrange for this even though it was available, and that meant we paid too much for a taxi and then ended up having to tip one of the "guides" in the neighborhood to lead us to the riad (it gets much easier navigating after your first day, but the first day in the medina is confusing without help). If I am lucky enough to return to Marrakech, I would very gladly stay at Riad Bleu du Sud again.

A beautiful and welcoming riad. This place felt like an oasis of peace in a very hectic city. The riad is ideally situated near all the main attractions but in a calm side street. The staff were very friendly and super helpful. The breakfast was amazing and slightly different each morning.Would we stay again, definitely! Thanks so much for making our stay in Marrakech so special.

We had a two night stay and the staff cannot do enough for one. Exceptional service from Rianah and Abdul. Breakfast is very good and the Riad provides...

We had a two night stay and the staff cannot do enough for one. Exceptional service from Rianah and Abdul. Breakfast is very good and the Riad provides a complete haven away from the Médina madness whilst being right in the thick of it all. I would recommend this Riad. No pool though, but very close to good Hammams.

Absolutely beautiful riad with lovely personnel like Rianna and Abdul. The breakfast was a winner despite the carbs. The location is great and quite centrally...

Absolutely beautiful riad with lovely personnel like Rianna and Abdul. The breakfast was a winner despite the carbs. The location is great and quite centrally located. The only downside, though no fault of the riad, is that the bathroom has a smell of sewage. This is I think is due to the system in the Médina and the riad tried wonderfully to mask it with fresheners. Highly recommend this riad!

A haven of peace tucked away from the Medina. We arrived very late due to our flight being delayed and were welcomed with mint tea whilst completing the paperwork. Once the necessary forms were completed we wanted to go to our room straight away but were told 'not yet' as the road guardian talked us through various tours and spa packages associated with the Riad, we were too tired to take any of this in and found this a bit irritating. We were asked what time we would like breakfast which is served between 8am and 10am and then showed our room. The room was beautifully decorated, but had a lot of furniture and we had to move a few things around to be able to get from the bed to the bathroom in the night without crashing into things. The wooden doors to the room and window shutters were rather flimsy so it didn't feel very private. The room was very dim and no natural daylight could be seen until you open the doors where you could see daylight through the plastic roof over the interior courtyard. The room was also stuffy but the air conditioning worked a treat once you figure out how it works. The water from the hot tap was scalding hot but easily rectified by turning the cold water tap on. Good shower above the elaborate mosaic tiled bath. Breakfast was very beige with lots of pastry, but they were delicious. As coffee lovers the one small pot was not sufficient and it took a long time to get more. Brush up on your French as their English is limited, but we did manage to communicate. We bought a bottle of water at the cost of two Euros which is thrice the price than the shops in the medina. You also need to pay a tourist tax which was around 160 MAD for three nights. The riad is tricky to find but once you get used to navigating it's close to all the action. There's no key to get in the main entrance and you have to knock to get in but the guardian is always available to let you in and I wondered if he ever slept as we were in and out all hours. Overall a pleasant authentic experience of staying in a Riad.

We visited Riad Bleu for 4 nights and we both fall absolutely in love with it. Rooms - as per promise , like on pictures , heating/ cooling working well, clean, fresh towels every day, extra towels , etc. Riad has 5 rooms so it's nice family atmosphere. Breakfast with good selection of local pastries , changing every day. I loved fresh yogurt with pomegranate fruit. Staff very friendly , offering help , speaking English, French and Italian (depends who). Wifi working very well in whole riad. Transport organized by Road worked very well both ways. Central location - few minutes walk from main square of Medina. All attractions in Marrakech easy reachable by foot. First day it was a bit complicated to find our way in Medina labyrinth, but with help of local app and maps from hotel it became easy. Area is safe and good light in the evening. Definitely recommend !
