In May 2024, I did a site inspection while staying at the beautiful Riad Bliss Marrakech in the heart of the Medina. The friendly staff took great pride in welcoming us to this traditional accommodation in Morocco. I would stay here again and highly recommend it to my clients.

Location
Riad Bliss is ideally located in the heart of Marrakech, offering convenience for exploring the city's main attractions like Jardins Secrets. Its prime location near souks, historic sites and vibrant street life makes it an excellent base for tourists. While the central location does result in some noise disturbances, this is a small price to pay for the vibrant atmosphere and easy access to the city's highlights. Once inside the riad, a serene and peaceful ambiance provides a perfect home away from home. I would say that this riad is the best located riad in Marrakech.
Room
The rooms at Riad Bliss are designed with traditional and minimalist Moroccan charm. However, there were a couple of minor issues during my stay. The deluxe room lacked blinds, which allowed early morning light to flood in. Additionally, the materials used for the floor, walls and bathroom gave the impression of being less clean than they actually were. Despite these minor setbacks, the overall comfort and beauty of the room were commendable. Unfortunately, the toilet was broken on the first night, but the staff handled the situation professionally and offered compensation in the form of a free hammam and massage experience. Therefore, it is forgiven.
Amenities
Riad Bliss offers a range of amenities designed to enhance the comfort and enjoyment of its guests. The highlight of my stay was the hammam and massage experience for couples. This rejuvenating treatment left me feeling relaxed and pampered, providing the perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring Marrakech. The riad's facilities, including the beautifully maintained hammam, contribute to the overall luxurious experience. The staff's friendly and attentive service further adds to the charm, ensuring that all guests feel welcomed and well-cared for throughout their stay. They also offer yoga, a full service spa and a restaurant. They can also organize activities for you and a taxi service.
Service
The service at Riad Bliss was very good. From the warm welcome upon arrival to the attentive assistance throughout my stay, the staff's hospitality truly enhanced my experience. They were always available to help with any inquiries or requests, making me feel well cared for during my time there. This level of service is a testament to the authentic Moroccan hospitality that Riad Bliss prides itself on.
Need to know
Riad Bliss is a gem in the heart of Marrakech, offering a perfect blend of comfort, convenience and authentic Moroccan hospitality. Despite a few minor hiccups, the overall experience was exceptional. I would highly recommend Riad Bliss to anyone seeking a memorable and enchanting stay in Marrakech. It is especially well-suited for couples looking for a romantic getaway, as well as solo travelers and small groups who wish to immerse themselves in the rich culture and vibrant atmosphere of the city.
