lacmer.friendsOct 25, 2024 What a find! The staff were all amazing, reception staff, Abdelkarim, Nourddine, Abdeljalil, Youssef couldn't do enough to make you feel at home. Whilst Khadija, Zoubida and Fatima made amazing different local breakfast every morning. Super location and very traditional.
Would recommend for sure.
Thanks for a great stay.
A beautiful Riad, on the outer edge of the Medina, 20mins or so to the main square. Beautiful room, well maintained and an incredibly friendly and kind staff. I would highly recommend you stay here when in Marrakech!
Very deceiving and disappointed 😞
I don't understand how this riad gets such a high rating. Please don't get trap by the online pictures. They are embellished. The place is super small, like a cave, dark and soffocating. The person in charge was very rude to us. Please don't believe their lies in their website that if you stay 3 nights or more the transfer from the airport is included. At the end, they will charge you for it. Breakfast is not worth it either. The swimming pool is tiny and dirty. The only area that was ok was the terrace. The room we stayed in was drepessing, poorly designed and you just want to get out of it. We will NEVER recommend this riad. It is a 2 star hotel. Not fabulous at all. Please do yourself a favor and don't stay there. I wish someone would have done it an honest review when we were looking for a place to stay.
The Riad Belle Époque is a small, comfortable and nice place to stay, but what it really distinguishes it is the excellent service of the staff. They are all very kind and generous. They all are excellent persons and are one of my best memories of my stay in Marrakech.
Nice hotel, 15 min walk from the market
The reception staff was friendly and helpful. The ambiance was lovely and room was clean.
chaddy.partnerJul 29, 2022 The property is in a very convenient location. Not directly in the middle of Medina so not as much traffic, noise, or expense. However, it’s perfectly located by a large parking and roundabout area where it’s easy to access any part of the city.
The best part was the facility and the staff. I would highly recommend staying here over any commercial hotel. The thought and effort to make this Riad so beautiful and authentic, but still with all the necessary amenities (AC, room turndown, pool, etc) were outstanding. You will know all the staff by name and they will make you feel like you have your own private bed and breakfast. They are all genuinely caring and thoughtful. I would also recommend having dinner at the Riad one night. It will be cheaper than any dinner at a restaurant and it will be several courses privately made for you. If you are coming in the summer, ask them to turn on the AC in your room a few hours before you arrive.
Really nice little Riad. Very comfortable and great customer service.
Oasis of tranquility, great service and a warm welcome. Beautiful traditional morrocan Riad.
celina.friendsJun 24, 2022 Beautiful Riad with modern luxuries like wifi. Rooms named after famous people a special touch. Outstanding staff and great location!
Immersed in the real Marrakech
Amazing experience, the peace and tranquility of the riad in comparison to the hustle and bustle of the city.
Our Coco Chanel room was lovely, if you want to experience a more cultural stay in Marrakech this is for you. If you want more a pool/hotel vibe this is definitely not for you!
The main medina is a 20 min walk, or you can enter the souks in under 5 minutes from the riad. Abdul-haat (I apologise for the spelling) was one of our excellent host/concierges I have to mention.
All the staff were warm and provided exceptional help in arranging our trips etc.
Staff was so very helpful anf cheerful
We loved this Riad. The service was wonderful and the room and the entire building was beautiful. Great location, and the food was delicious.
verified t.selfFeb 23, 2019 Fantastic location- walking distance to most sites. Welcome fruendly reception by staff at all times. Yummy continental breakfast which really set me up for the day. Would highly recommend this Riad in Marrakesh.
Amazing 😁 all staff were just fabulous, “Nothing” was too much trouble, anything we asked for, they delivered with a Smile, Respect and extremely professional when it comes to pleasing the client . Their Hospitality and willingness was extraordinarily humble and giving of the empathy and understanding when needed
Charming Riad, centrally located
The Riad is beautiful and the staff is very attentive. Albukhar is a super star and so friendly. the breakfast was delicious. The rooftop is charming and provides space for tanning and relaxing. During our time we were the only ones staying at the Riad and sometimes felt a bit observed. Local area is a bit dodgy but its fine as you are in the medina very quickly.
Peaceful Riad in the middle of the madness
Riad was absolutely lovely. Staff were very helpful and courteous to us for our stay. Breakfast was nice, and obvious they put effort into the meals for us. Location was excellent- 2 min walk from a parking area, with taxis there all the time. Short walk to all the attractions within the Medina. Highly recommend it to all.
Nice hotel, really good location, good staff,
Really good location right by the markets. Friendly staff, very nice rooms and atmosphere.
My best friend and I stayed at La Belle Epoque for three nights on our first trip to Morocco: it's a beautiful riad that provides a great oasis of calm in a frenetic city.
It's excellently located - in walking distance of all the main sites, including the Marjorelle Gardens, the souks and the Saadien tombs, but off the beaten track enough to be a calm and peaceful retreat.
The staff are wonderful (particularly Mouhammed and Nordime), and nothing is too much trouble: we were given lots of information about what to see and how to get to places, as well as recommendations for restaurants, organising our transfers and giving us advice on how best to haggle for goods in the souks.
Our room (Josephine Baker) was clean and comfortable and quiet - as well as being very stylish. The ornate Moroccon decor of the bathroom was of particular note! The free wifi was appreciated, particularly for downloading Google maps of the medina.
The roof terrace is a wonderful place to have breakfast in the morning sunshine, or enjoy some mint tea in the afternoon - especially the lovely shady daybed, where we spent a lot of time reading and napping.
Oh dear.Positives first:the staff at this hotel are lovely,helpful, charming,and attentive. The hotel itself is in the old town which means you need to accept its in one of those typical old town alleyways which can feel quite off the beaten track if you are not expecting it.Once inside its a little haven and a cute place.Our problem came on check out where we were asked to pay our bill in euros, rather than on credit card.As we had booked some trips through the hotel our bill was over 200 euros which we were intending to put on our card. When we checked in we were planning to book the trips at the nearby travel agency (which takes credit cards)but the reception said they would handle the booking)Trips were fine but not when you find out on check out on your last day that you then have to wander the streets of the city looking for a cash machine that will give you cash to pay for trips which you could have put on your card if you had bought them anywhere else in the city. They wouldnt budge on this-the management really ruined our last day and we left Marrakech vowing never to return.The reception did point out that extras were payable in cash which we understood to mean drinks etc(all fine with us)but not 200 euros worth of trips.So for this reason we have given such low marks as our overall experience of the hotel,city and country was ruined by this inflexibility.
