We stayed at L'Orientale for a week in September in an upstairs room with terrace. Latifa arranged for airport pickup and met our taxi at the Medina to guide us across the Square to the Riad. It was a welcoming start. The Riad is about 4-5 minutes from the Square - excellent location. We were presented with mint tea and... more

After reviewing a lot of Riads -I was going to Marrakesh for a conference but wanted to stay before and after- I selected this one because of its web page, simple and to the point. I was right. Latifa and Zacaria, the two Morrocans who run the place for its British owner, both go that extra mile to make you... more

I've just returned from a marvellous first trip to Marrakesh, staying at the de l'Orientale. The riad is charming and so too are the staff, who are welcoming and very helpful. It was so nice to be able to walk just a short distance to all the places in the Medina I wanted to see, and to return from all... more

We felt welcomed here from the moment we arrived. Latifah and Ezequiel are very friendly and go beyond their duties to make you feel comfortable. It's very close to the main square, inside the medina; yet very quiet. Breakfast was superb - the best we had in Morocco. Rooms are very cozy and the patio very relaxing. They really know... more

My fiance and I stayed for five nights overall - dropping in when we stopped off in Marrakesh on our way to and from other places in Morrocco. This Riad is a simply wonderful place - very calm and tranquil within the hectic city! Each time we arrived we were greeted as old friends, offered tea and a chance to... more

We stayed for 3 nights in April at the end of a 2 week trip. The Riad is located close to the main square and was the perfect place to end our visit. The hospitality offered by Latifa, Zac and the rest of the staff was wonderful. The Moroccan meal served in the evening was outstanding. more

I stayed in the Riad for four nights. The superb location was matched only by the hospitality and authentic feel of the place. Very close to the city centre, I found (to my pleasant surprise) that I was within a short walking distance from the bustling souks and Djeema El Fnar (the central square). Yet, situated on a quiet and... more

Recently had to organise a trip to Marrakech with some clients of mine, looking at purchasing property on the outskirts of the city. to experience marrakech oin the best possible way i decided to find a Riad in the souk... I cam accross Riad de l'Orientale by chance, and after having spoken with the owners, who were more than accomodating... more

Me and 2 of my male friends went to stay in Riad in Jan 2008, we arranged airport pickup from the airport and when we arrive at the souk, of course the car can't get in as it was 7pm, so a little trolley took our luggage into the souk and past the alley ways and into this little gem.... more
