Staying at Riad Le Desir was a good experience, blending tradition with a touch of luxury. The cleanliness and comfort of the rooms made it a true haven after exploring the bustling streets of Marrakesh. While the location required a bit of navigation through the vibrant 'Artisans district’ to reach main attractions, the journey itself was quite enjoyable. Overall, I highly recommend this place for its charming atmosphere and fantastic service. 🌟

The riad is positioned at the southern end of the ancient walled city. While it was a bit of a walk, about 25 minutes, through the interesting artisans' district, it was close to the Palais el Badii and Palais de la Bahia.

Staying at Riad Le Desir was an absolute joy. I loved the serene atmosphere away from the chaos of the medina, and Roberta’s hospitality made all the difference. The only downside was that the breakfast could have offered a wider variety, but overall, it was a fantastic experience.

My stay at Riad Le Desir was fantastic, with warm and attentive staff and a beautiful, relaxing atmosphere. The view from the terrace of the Atlas Mountains was amazing, and the Moroccan cuisine served during meals was a good experience. However, if I had to nitpick, I think the dining options could have been a bit more varied for longer stays.
