Met at the airport and driven to a tiny entrance door in the wall of a maze! Once inside the cool reception area a few formalities were covered, and I was shown to my room. Mr Abdou was kind and courteous, answering any questions and showing me the walking route to the city centre. The Tagine was excellent and the room was comfortable.

Lapis-Lazuli is lovely Riad situated a km or so from the centre of the Medina. It's typical in its design with rooms around a central courtyard. It's a very quiet building and proved to be most comfortable. The rooms are well furnished and the shower worked well. My room was slightly larger and included a sofa which I assume converts into an extra bed
It's run by Patrik and Abdou. We only saw Patrik for a short while each morning. Abdou is there from evening until morning and could not have been more helpful.
The easy walk into Jemaa El-Fna is most interesting but a bit circuitous. Abdou very kindly walked with us on the first evening to show us the way for the last part getting back to the Riad.
We had booked a meal at the Riad for our first evening - delicious lamb tagine, the tastiest we had while in Marrakech. We also booked taxis to and from the airport through them - well worth it.

Getting to the riad is tricky at first, but it is not bad at all after you get the hang of it. Abdou was excellent with us. He helped us understand how to get around the area with ease. He even made us an early breakfast for our trip. Avoid fake guides for the riad; they will ask as much as 200 MAD for the instructions.

If you want a place to stay that is in the medina, but far enough away thag you can actually get some rest at night, this is for you.
Patrick, and Abdou are gracious and kind hosts that are willing to help any way they can.
The room had everything I needed to be a launchpad for walking and exploring the Medina.
Please do not hesitate to book here for an authentic riad stay.

I recommend eating at the riad during your stay, their tagines are delicious and affordable. The property itself is lovely. While outside the tourist area, it is only a 15-20 minute walk to the main sites.
5.0
The property was beautiful, my room was on the main floor behind a nested door. It was tight, but a beds a bed and this room had 2. The bathroom was separated from the main room by a curtain, which is awkward no matter who you’re staying with. But they can wait in the cozy main area or use the bathroom there if needed. Still, a door would’ve been great 😅
The room has a strict no-drinks policy, but water was available for purchase from the Riad. A nice light breakfast with coffee was included with the room.
The room has an Ac unit which did its best and got the room down to 21C and kept it there.
Patrick, the manager, was an absolute gem. He was incredibly accommodating, and very helpful, as was his aid Abdou. Both are absolute gentlemen.
The riyad was about a 15 minute walk from the taxi stop, and 30 minutes from the old market and all the good shopping and restaurants.
What I DIDNT like were the young men who would try and convince me the main route to the riad is “closed”, then after taking me the long way, asked for $10. I fell for it the first time, but they tried this every time I passed them. That’s why I deducted a star.

Riad is located at the northern part of the old medina which seems to be a bit quieter than the southern part closer to the Djemaa el fna. Riad entrance is a bit tricky to find even though it's located at the bigger street. Door has a small sign yes but still maybe it could have a bigger or more visible sign perhaps? Rooms and the riad in general are immaculate and well equipped! Close to the riad is a mosque and in the evenings the people sitting at the entrance of the mosque were shouting something to western people walking by so that was a bit unpleasant and scary. Marrakech medina in general is quite a shady place at dark since there's not enough lighting and some alleys are pitch black. Otherwise the location of the riad is very good as there is max 10min walk to ATM, taxi stand, restaurants and a day tour pick up point.
What makes this riad fantastic is its staff, mostly Mr. Abdou. He did everything to make your stay and trip better and more pleasant. He provided lots of information and maps and instructions and directions and was available basically 24/7 for hotel customers needs. Early breakfast? Abdou took care of it. Forgot to buy water from medina? Abdou took care of it. Wanna cut your fingernails but don't have the clippers? Abdou went to buy the clippers and brought to your room in 10mins. This man is the embodiment of hospitality. If the riad owner reads this please give my compliments (and possibly a raise) to Abdou!

Nice Riad, nice decor. Abdou was especially amazing. Really cared about my safety and helped in every way possible - Thank You!
My biggest let down is that the owner is smoking non stop at the center of the place, and the smoke smell goes everywhere including the room. If you are out and about all day you may not notice it at all.
Note that all payments need to be in cash at the property, so come prepared.
All in all, a very nice place and nice staff.

We loved our stay at Riad Lapis-Lazuli! Patrick was so kind, easy to communicate with prior to our arrival, and very welcoming. The space itself was beautiful and clean. The location was excellent--easy walking distance from all sorts of attractions. Abdou, the gentleman on duty during the evenings, was incredibly kind and showed us around the area and made sure we did not get lost. We highly recommend this stay!

It’s the people that make this riad so special. They couldn’t be more helpful. It’s located in the tranquil northern part of the medina and has everything you need. Do try and eat here at least one evening during your stay, the choice is small but the tagines are delicious. But make sure you are hungry - the portions are sumptuous. A big thank you to everyone for a great introduction to Moroccan hospitality.

Very good. Service was more than excellent in all levels. Riad had nice breakfast, food available if needed and alcohol all so. After hot and long day in city, it was nice to enjoy evening at their roofgarden and enjoy one cold beer.

The riad is nicely decorated and has a cool vibe about it. The top terrace is worth checking out if you check in here. The property is located in the North of the Medina and whilst maybe not ideal to explore the touristy areas, the neighbourhood has an authentic feel about it and you can get to walk the entire souk.Staff is very nice and helpful. We had a tour booked early and they were nice enough to prepare breakfast for us earlier.

We had a very nice long weekend at Lapis-Lazuli, the personnel is super friendly and the night manager cooked an excellent emergency tagine for us even thoug we forgot to make a reservation.
The place is very clean and well taken care of and the room was comfortable too.
Only thing that could use some inmproovment is that having a hot shower is a bit of a gamble and its a bit far to walk to the center.
2.5
It’s an excellent Riad. The room was small but comfortable. Air-condition, television, shower. The room was cleaned every morning when I was away. They provide a delicious breakfast (included in the price) and if you like dinner at a reasonable price. All the staff was friendly and helpful. In general it’s an excellent accommodation.

We appreciated the character, ambience and unique decor of this hotel. The host greeted us with mint tea, gave us lots of tips and was very friendly. I highly recommend this hotel. Close to good restaurants, we felt safe walking in the neighborhood.

Great little B&B in the old medina of Marrakech. Confortable and clean, and very close from the old bazaars (sooks), yet far from the noisy traffic. The management can facilitate daily trips to nearby (and not-so-near) sites at reasonable prices with a reliable service provider. Delicious moroccan evening meals can be ordered, preferably a day in advance. The night attendant is extremely helpful, willing to help if you are lost in town or looking for quality meals.

The Riad is a beautiful Morrocan oasis in the midst of the old medina. At the time of our stay the Riad was quite cold. No restaurants nearby. Not a great location to find in the old medina. The hosts were great to provide guided tours through the medina to the Plaza however it was still difficult to find. Breakfast was included. Room was clean and comfortable.
1.3
The service was beyond compare. I have stayed in 5 star hotels and this Riads service beat all of them by far. The owners went out of the way to ensure we were comfortable, know the local culture, and educate us on tourist traps to avoid. The only thing I would say is the location is about a 15-20 min walk from the markets which is not bad but wish it was a bit closer. However, the trade off is that you get a nice cozy and quiet getaway from the noisy market. Definitely highly recommended.
