Beautiful, boutique riad in the siuthern part of the Marrakech medina.
In the heart of the old jewish area and the mellah spice markets and palaces. Only 10 minute walk to the main square. Smallish, but light and airy rooms. Lovely traditional Morrocan breakfast with breads, honey, jam, yoghurt, tea, coffee, juice etc.
The roof terrace is peaceful, private and sundrenched.
The service is very good indeed, professional, friendly, unobtrusive.
We would certainly choose to stay again in Riad Azoulay on any future visit to Marrakech.

Absolutely amazing staff, easy check in and beyond accommodating! We forgot the toothpaste in the car which was parked a few minutes walk away. They were so kind to quickly run buy us a tube without us having to go back out. It is the littlest things that are done that make the journey complete. It is a beautiful property, the staff goes over the top to make sure you have a pleasurable stay. It was a pleasant surprise that breakfast was included in our booking. Wish we had more time to stay here. It will forever be a highlight during our time in Maroc. My only wish is everyone finds this space and gets to share in the experience.

This review is long overdue! We stayed at Riad Azoulay while in Marrakech last November.
Our stay at Riad Azoulay ended up being one of the highlights of our trip to Morocco. Looking back, I wish it had come at the end of our trip instead of the beginning because it was the absolute best place we stayed the entire trip and set the bar almost too high for everywhere else. The Riad and rooms were beautiful, the food was delicious (and very plentiful), but most of all, the staff were all AMAZING. They were all very personable and helpful and patient and we felt almost like we got to know them over the days we stayed. In contrast to our Riad in Fes, which felt more like a hotel, we felt we got a true “Riad” experience here.
Additionally, we found the location ideal. We were quite happy to not be in the middle of the main Medina. Instead we were in the spice market which was quieter. We could easily walk to everything and felt very safe even walking at night as there were always lots of people about. If you’ve never been Marrakech, the first time is an experience - we were completely overwhelmed with taking everything in! And trust me on this - I do recommend getting the transport from your train or airport thru the Riad. Everything was seamless and easy - and I can imagine you might have some difficulty finding the Riad, tucked in to a side alley of the spice market, the first time. And let’s just say you get the full experience when they meet you and walk you thru the mark

Hidden Paradise in the Medina
Everything was perfect chez Azoulay. The owner's warmth, artistic design sense, graciousness is evident in every detail. I treated myself to the royal suite and it was wonderful. Each corner of the spacious apt was well-designed and totally comfortable. The warm staff made me feel at home as a single woman "of a certain age." If you have time, the massage and hammam were so relaxing after a day in the medina. I also took a cooking class with the hotel chef that was a chance to connect in a personal way. Everything went so smoothly, highly recommended!

Wonderful riad in Marrakech!
We absolutely loved our stay at this riad for part of our honeymoon. It’s truly a little slice of paradise amongst the noisy, busy craziness that is Marrakech. The riad is not large and has a pretty open concept with the courtyard and pool being in the middle. That’s probably our only complaint; the noise factor. The hotel plays music starting in the morning until around 10pm, there’s a mosque feet away that will have calls to prayer going at a very early hour and anything you say or do outside your room will be heard by all guests. With that being said, it’s staff were all so friendly, accommodating and helpful. From the moment we checked in and were treated to the traditional mint tea service, to the delicious breakfasts to helping us arrange for rides to the train station etc. Our room was beautiful and clean with comfortable beds. Be aware that this hotel is more like a B&B. There are no tv’s in the rooms. The safe uses an actual key. And there are no locks on the rooms aside from a latch, unless you ask for one. It’s definitely like staying in someone’s home. The Riad even serves home cooked dinners nightly which we tried one evening. The food was so delicious! And the service and attention top notch. Just a wonderful experience overall!
