Riad Mandalay  

Perfect location to explore Marrakech. Lots of charm, nice rooms, ideal to leave the hectic of Marrakech behind for a couple of hours.

Breakfast is somewhat basic.

The Riad is an oasis of tranquillity and calm in the bustling city and benefits from a great location -not too close from the main square, but still only 10 minutes away-. Giorgia is a really nice lady who speaks a perfect French and the mint tea is by far, the best we tried whilst in Morocco. The rooms are nicely furbished, spacious and cosy. Giorgia gave us a lot of useful tips and recommendations about the city, its surroundings and the local prices. If I were to go back to Marrakesh, I would definitely stay at Riad Mandalay again!

The hotel is located close to the mosque so we sometimes hear the call to prayer -even at 5am- and when going to the hotel, you have to go through a market with fresh meat. The smell is not the best when you've just woken up but well, it is part of the exoticism :)

Very nice Riad. Well decorated, simple but with style. Giorgia, the owner, is very sympathic and is always there for you. Excelent value for money.

The bed's matress are to soft...Not a big deal anyway!

The Riad is absolutely stunning! Is the perfect place for your stayng at Marrakech! We loved it from de begining. It is managed by an italian couple (Claudio and Giorgia).The owners are extremely dedicated to their guests! They are very friendy! They do everything for you to have an amazing stayng at Marrakech and a pleasent stayng at the Riad! They organized a transfer for us from the airport and everything went very good! The transfer left us at th Kasbah Mosque since he couldn't go further into the medina, and the Riad's owner (Cláudio) was there (at the Mosque) waiting for us to take us to the Riad! He received us with a marvalleous mint tea and gave us a map of the city and all the tips to learn how to move on the city and very nice tips of all we could see during our stay! Really amazing! The breakfast is very very good and we loved the part that it starts at 8 am and has no time to finish ("because you are on vacations" said Claudio). They prepered us a extraordinary morrocan meal, very tasty, a tajine kefta (the best we tried in Marrakech)! You must try because Claudio is a magnificent "Chef"! At least once try their restaurant! It's really very good! The room was amazing, with air conditioned, with a great bathroom! Very cleaned and everithyng working very well! Riad MAndalay is a Paradise inside Marrakech Medina and it feels so great to be there at the end of the day, after an agitated day discovering Marrakech, because it's so peaceful, you hear nothing but the water from the pool and birds singing! Really a paradise! It also has a magnificent terrace were you can have a nice rest at sunset. Although beeing near the Mosque we didn't hear de call for prayng what was amazing for us! It's very close to the Jemaa-El-Fna! 10 min. walking! Close to the Sadian tombs (1 min. walking) and a lot of other interest places!

Riad Mandalay is an excellent oasis of peace amidst the hustle and bustle of Marrakech. It has a good location not far from the central square and it was a real treat to enjoy the peacefulness inside the riad while still being close to the action. The two owners are very friendly and ready to help and advice. I can warmly recommend this place to anyone wishing to visit Marrakech.

Quite, clean and relaxing. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Walking distance to most sites and very close to the markets.

The street location, as you have to go through very crowded, often smokey lanes, which could be decieving.

The Riad Mandalay was like stepping into a little oasis away from the hustle and bustle of the streets and alley ways outside. The atmosphere of the Riad was lovely, very tranquil and relaxing. The courtyard was shady and quiet and the plunge pool was great for a quick dip to cool off. The roof terrace was great, particularly in the evening when the sun went down on the hot August days. Our room, which opened onto the courtyard, was spacious enough for the three of us, with a good big bathroom. The staff at the Mandalay were brilliant. Nothing was too much trouble and they helped us with information about the city, a day trip to the Atlas Mountains and transport to Essaouira. All in all we had a great stay and can't recommend Riad Mandalay and it's staff highly enough.

The Riad is in a good location close to the Medina, (although up a few small back alleys). The room was absolutely beautiful, very comfortable, very relaxing and quiet. The Riad is absolutely stunning and the staff were also very helpful. Overall a lovely Riad & great staff so close to the city centre.

The Spa Facilities were not great, it was dissappointing the Jacquzzi was not working. The breakfast was a very basic continental but there is no set time which is good and I'm sure if you had requested the staff would have made something a bit better. Overall this Riad is a bit overpriced but a lovely experience.

Hemos pasado tres noches, el sitio es encantador, muy bien cuidado. El personal es muy amable y las habitaciones muy limpias.

Gute Atmosphäre, ruhig – in allen Räumen ist es wunderbar hell (was in vielen Riads nicht der Fall ist) – wir würden jederzeit wieder hier buchen.

Anbiente molto rilassante e confortevole .

Todo, pero sobre todo la calidez y preocupación por nuestro bienestar de las personas que lo llevan, Claudio y Giorgia, dos jóvenes italianos que te hacen la estancia fácil y muy grata, orientándote en todo aquello que les preguntas. Las instalaciones son una delicia, un remanso de paz y serenidad estética en medio de una ciudad endiabladamente estresante, sobre todo en la famosa plaza, donde una muchedumbre compuesta por turistas, mercaderes de toda condición, motos, ciclistas, coches, calesas de caballos, paseantes autóctonos, y alguna otra clasificación, pugnan por avanzar sin tropezarse demasiado sin un orden aparente. Es un riad que yo recomenaría a cualquiera, si no cambia, tiene una relación calidad/precio óptima.
