Beautiful property with outstanding staff. Their service exceeded expectations - particularly the barman and the waiting staff. We stayed in a lovely room which was spacious, the bed was very comfortable and everything we required was serviced. There are two courtyards which deliver the peace and calm you would expect during the day. There is a roof terrace. Some evenings there is a singer/piano player Frankie whose music was outstanding.

On the occasions when there is no live music, the speaker music is often too loud and is played until too late to be conducive to the ambience of the Riad.

Speechless - The staff were amazing. It was a special trip for both me and my partner and the hotel knew this, they really made us feel special and catered for every need of ours, in addition to organising our activities. It felt seemless and I will never forget my experience. We loved the ambience and mood of the hotel, particularly at night, where we preferred staying at the hotel instead of going out. The mood and atmosphere was almost zen like, and we felt happy, relaxed and to me felt like more than even a 5 star hotel

We loved it all - super happy

I can say only pleasant things about my stay...First of all it felt like home away from home right away. I do not know if all riads has suvh amazing staff, bit these guys were like family, 100%, everyone of them, cant thank them enough. I was treated like a queen from the first minutes I steped inside... Another pleasant surprise, the owner, Steve, upgraded us to the most amazing and fancy suite!!! With a private jakuzzi bath on the rooftop terrace, what about that🤍We also enjoyed our conversations at the bar, Steve and bartenders has many spellbinding stories to tell! I definatelly will be back and thanks everyone🩷

This is a wonderful, incredibly cozy, and beautiful riad where I experienced immense aesthetic pleasure. The interior is thoughtfully and skillfully designed, and I found myself admiring its details at every corner. The staff is exceptional and highly responsive, always ready to assist with any needs. The owner, Steven, is very welcoming, and it’s clear that everything has been done with great care and passion. We particularly enjoyed the best sound system in each room, and the piano evenings held here create an incredible atmosphere. The food is simply amazing. During our stay, the riad became number one in Marrakech for its gastronomic offerings. We travel a lot, and this is the second place in the world where I’ve had truly delicious cocktails. The selection is diverse, and the cocktails are truly worthy of attention. If you love aesthetics, attention to detail, friendly service, and want to stay in a great location in Morocco, I highly recommend this place. We have grown very fond of this riad; it feels cozy, comfortable, bohemian, safe, and like home.

Exceptional riad in a good location in the Medina area of Marrakech. Special mentions to Simo, the talented mixologist in Charlies Bar, the reception,concierges, and the attentive breakfast staff. The breakfasts are very good quality with eggs cooked on request and a selection of breads, pancakes, jams, yogurts etc. We really enjoyed dining in the restaurant on our first night with exceptional French and Moroccan dishes on offer. This was accompanied by the in-house pianist and singer with entertaining renditions of classics ranging from Lionel Ritchie to Pavarotti ! It is a really delightful place to stay with such a peaceful atmosphere away from the hustle and bustle of the Medina with a roof top area to soak up the sunshine . Would recommend taking the Riad transfer from the airport as well.

Very friendly and helpful staff, nothing was too much trouble, they arranged a private tour to the Atlas Mountains for us, collection and drop off at the airport and much more. Lovely ambiance, well situated in the medina . The evening entertainment provided by the pianist and singer was very good if a little loud (see below)

Whilst the standard of cooking was excellent, the menu is quite small, and difficult if you’re vegetarian. We did experience the smell of cigarette smoke in our bedroom a couple of nights all night long. We were told it was the staff smoking area causing this. The entertainment was very loud such that we had trouble hearing one another at dinner ( this could be due to the Riad’s acoustics)

The riad is really beautiful and feels like a super glamorous home from home. The staff are excellent, very friendly and welcoming, nothing is too much trouble. Our rooms were stunning and exceeded our expectations. The included breakfast was delicious with freshly squeezed orange juice and delicious pastries and various options for eggs. We ate at the riad's restaurant every night and the food was amazing. We had the best hammam, massage and facial that we've ever had, so special and really fantastic value for 2 1/2 hours of pure bliss! We came away feeling exceptionally relaxed and rejuvenated. Thanks to everyone at Riad Noir d'Ivoire for such a special trip!

Nothing

The Riad is beautifully, obviously professionally- interior designed and is exactly as pictured online. It is very "vibey" in that there's music playing at all times and a lively bar scene. The room was comfortable, the bed had western-hotel standards, and the bathroom shower was really nice. I didn't take advantage of the hammam, but it looked inviting, and I did enjoy sitting by the indoor heated pool even if I didn't get in it - the environment was relaxing. The rooftop had great high-end furniture (the best furniture of the 3 riads I stayed in during my trip.) The staff met my driver with a golf cart so I didn't have to drag my luggage through the alleys to find them. The owner is an American who lived in Britain for years, so I think his more westernized understanding of hotel-expectations are realized.

The only think I didn't like was the location. It was fairly difficult to find, with more twists and turns than the other two riads on my trip. I was only at Noir d'Ivorie for 1.5 days so I probably just didn't get the hang of it before it was time to leave.

A wonderful Riad offering peace and tranquility in the middle of busy Marrakesh. The dining space comes into its own in the evening when the well positioned lights are low, making for a lovely experience whilst enjoying delicious food. Hassan and his team are welcoming, attentive and keen to please. All the staff we met were very polite, courteous and pleasant. The suite was well appointed and clean. If you like bright spaces the Panthere suite is not for you as it was very dark. Also you need to embrace noise and chatter from the neighbours to enjoy your bathroom experience as clear to hear shouting, talking and motorcycles riding through the narrow street. We enjoyed the log fire being lit in the evening which was perfect for the time of the year. It did feel, however, that service at breakfast and the lighting of the fire in the evening, etc, diminished somewhat during our stay, resulting in us having to find staff to ask for simple things like coffee at breakfast. Massage was very nice but the room was cold, staff were speaking in the adjoining room coming in and out, and cigarette smoke could be smelt, so whilst relaxing it could have been better. All in all, top end Riad prices for a great experience, with one or two things which could be changed to make it exemplary.

Too Long; Didn’t Read (TL;DR) If you’re looking for a once-in-a-lifetime experience in Marrakech, this riad is it. From the moment we arrived, we were treated with such genuine care and hospitality - it felt like stepping into another world—an oasis of peace and beauty in the middle of the busy medina. The rooms are stunning, each uniquely designed, the food is unforgettable (the best I’ve had in years), and the staff go above and beyond to make you feel at home. From Live music to spa treatments—this place is something truly special. I’d recommend it to anyone without hesitation. Full Review Arrival & First Impressions From the very beginning, everything was handled perfectly. We were picked up by a friendly driver in a luxurious van and driven close to the medina. Since cars can’t drive all the way in, a staff member was waiting for us with a cart for our luggage and walked us to the riad. To be honest, walking through the medina at first was a bit of a culture shock, but the staff member made us feel safe and guided us the whole way. When we arrived at the riad, it felt like stepping into another world. From the outside, you’d never guess what’s behind the door. But as soon as it opened, we were blown away. Inside was an oasis—quiet, peaceful, with the sound of birds and water from the pool. They welcomed us with coffee & macarons, and we just sat there, taking it all in. It felt like paradise. Rooms For the first night, we stayed in the “Gazelle” room, and it felt like something out of a fairy tale—like 1001 Nights. The room was spotless, had a lovely oriental scent, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. Over the course of our stay, the owner even offered us free upgrades to two different rooms, each more stunning than the last. You could tell that so much thought went into every detail of the design, from the colors to the materials used. Every room was an experience in itself.
