Marrakech is a hectic city where you'll be bombarded with colors, sounds, crazy traffic, intense people and almost too many impressions to process for the uninitiated. Still, we can recommend this city to almost anybody. A large part of that, has to do with our home away from home. Our stay at Riad Bleu du Sud has been phenomenal! The moment you walk in, you're welcomed with a genuine smile into an atmosphere straight out of a fairy tail. Great colors, great lighting and a tranquility you'll soon learn to appreciate even more. The moment you close the door of the building, you leave the craziness that is Marrakech behind and enter your oasis of peace. The rooms are cleaned very thoroughly and are decorated functionally. It felt relaxing to be in them.The food is great! You'll be served an amazing breakfast which was a little different every morning. Every evening we were asked how late we wanted to eat breakfast which made planning day trips around it very easy. We have tried eating dinner at the Riad as well and in my opinion it was one of the best meals we ate during our vacation. You'll pay a little more than in some other restaurants in the city, but definitely worth it.I would like to make a special mention of Karim, who was our main host in the week we stayed at Bleu du Sud. It is very rare for me to meet someone in the hotel branche who is so welcoming and friendly as this man. Karim, thank you for making our stay as great as it was. Great location in the center of the medina. Short walk to good restaurants nearby like Naranj and Chez Zaza, or a great hamam called Alphais. For us, staying at Riad Bleu du Sud comes as VERY highly recommended!

Riad Blue du Sud is an idillic, authentic hotel with close proximity to all places of interest in Marrakech. If you want to “leave” the culture and atmosphere of Morocco, you got to stay in this hotel. The rooms are spacious, the breakfast is carefully made, very traditional and different every day! What makes the difference though it is the people that work in the hotel, from the General Manager to all support staff. Karim is the soul of the hotel, he is the man of everything, very helpful, polite, great customer service attitude! Thank you all for making our time so wonderful.We will come back!Stratos and Maria

I booked the Riad Bleu du Sud based on the prices, reviews, and the stunning photos of the riad, which looked prettier, more colorful, and more ornate than other riads. I was not disappointed. The staff were all incredibly kind and welcoming. I cannot stay enough great things about the staff. Every morning the delicious breakfast was different so that we could try a variety of local breads and pastries, in addition to fruit/yogurt. Coffee and tea were wonderful. Different colored tablecloth each day, and different colored towels each day in the rooms. The attention to detail was so appreciated. Breakfast was a moment of peace each day with the sound of a lovely fountain in the background. We were served a lovely tea upon arrival, and were offered lots of information about Marrakech. The room and entire riad were gorgeous. We stayed for about 4 days and were really sad to leave. The riad was quiet and I slept well. I would recommend arranging transportation from the airport through the riad in advance because that will greatly facilitate your arrival. We forgot to arrange for this even though it was available, and that meant we paid too much for a taxi and then ended up having to tip one of the "guides" in the neighborhood to lead us to the riad (it gets much easier navigating after your first day, but the first day in the medina is confusing without help). If I am lucky enough to return to Marrakech, I would very gladly stay at Riad Bleu du Sud again.

I decided to cancel my trip to Essaouira to spend another night in Marrakech but my riad was full which meant I had to change riads for the night. I found Riad Bleu du Sud and immediately felt at home. Rihanna was so welcoming. The only room was a superior double but it was reasonably priced and the it was so beautifully decorated. The whole place was spectacular. The breakfast was massive and varied. It's situated a bit further back from the main pathways but it's worth the extra few steps. Spread the word!

We visited Riad Bleu for 4 nights and we both fall absolutely in love with it. Rooms - as per promise , like on pictures , heating/ cooling working well, clean, fresh towels every day, extra towels , etc. Riad has 5 rooms so it's nice family atmosphere. Breakfast with good selection of local pastries , changing every day. I loved fresh yogurt with pomegranate fruit. Staff very friendly , offering help , speaking English, French and Italian (depends who). Wifi working very well in whole riad. Transport organized by Road worked very well both ways. Central location - few minutes walk from main square of Medina. All attractions in Marrakech easy reachable by foot. First day it was a bit complicated to find our way in Medina labyrinth, but with help of local app and maps from hotel it became easy. Area is safe and good light in the evening. Definitely recommend !
