“Great location, wonderful service, delicious breakfast!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 27, 2012

We stayed here for 4 nights and were incredibly impressed. The Riad is well located about 5 mins walk from the main square. I would definitely recommend organising a transfer with the Riad as it is not accessible by car. They will organise a car to collect you form the airport and bring you to a point 5 min walk from the Riad. A porter will meet you to carry your luggage. It is a bit daunting the first time you do this walk but you very soon remember the main routes.

From the minute you arrive the service is excellent. Mustafa and Abdul looked after us incredibly well. Nothing was too much trouble and they organised everything we needed. The complimentary dinner on the first night was absolutely delicious! It was my birthday when we were there and Abdul helped my wife organise a delicious surprise cake. Special mention must be made of the breakfasts! They are fantastic and will tide you over until at least mid afternoon! The ladies who do the cooking are really friendly and do a great job, making the breakfasts a little different each day for variety. They will also provide a cooking lesson for a modest charge.

In terms of accommodation the Riad is comfortable. Our suite was quite dark but from experience this is not unusual for Riads. The facilities in the room are good though you need to accept that it is a Riad and not what you'd get in a 4 star European hotel.There was an AC unit in the room that does an effective job of providing heating when needed.

In summary I would totally recommend this Riad for the great service, delicious food and wonderful service! A big thank you to Abdul and the team!

Room Tip: I did not see the regular rooms but I think they may have more light than the suites. I would avoid...

“Oasis of calm”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 10, 2012

Lovely riad very close to the medina and easy to find once shown the way! The biggest plus point is the staff - very welcoming and could not do enough for us. Nothing was too much trouble. The only slight negative was that our beautiful suite was a little too dark for us - we were glad of the torch we brought with us to find our way round the wardrobe/safe! That said, there were plenty of public places to sit outside.

Room Tip: All the rooms are lovely - but the suites are the darkest.

“Beautiful riad !!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 8, 2012

We really found again riad Lorsya a magical home to stay with our friends in the heart of Marrakech medina, it is a beautiful riad, brilliantly decorated, spacious and cozy, with a great view from the rooftop terrace.
On our arrival we were very impressed by the warm welcome, and the excellent service, the staff were professional, helpful and friendly, nothing it's too much trouble, information about restaurants hammam and excursions, breakfast and dinner on terrace.
Furthermore, with its ideal location at the medina, we were able to visit all the historical sites, gardens and the souks.
It was our second time staying with our friends at Lorsya, we loved everything about it, and certainly we will be back and recommend it to our friends.

Room Tip: Samsara suite

“Wonderful Hospitality”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 15, 2012

The Riad Lorsya was an excellent place to stay in the heart of the souks. Abdul was a great host, doing everything possible to make our visit comfortable. He made arrangements for our day tour of Ourika, one on the highlights of our trip, with another Abdul, who had the most warm and inviting personality, despite our language difficulties. Abdul personally walked us to different destinations, made a trip to the supermarket to pick up supplies for us, and made great recommendations to insure that we had a great time.

Mustafa was also a pleasure to meeet. He was so helpful and made us feel that we were in the home of friends. The Riad was both beautiful and soothing. You wouldn't have to leave the riad to feel that you were truly experiencing a wonderful part of the scenes and people of Marrakesh. Great place to stay.

“Authentic & beautiful Riad but the service was truly exceptional”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 10, 2012

Well what can I say about the Riad Lorsya in Marrakech - we have just got back from a brilliant long weekend break where we celebrated our first wedding anniversary and it was simply perfect. The Riad is traditionally Moroccan in design with 2 floors plus a roof terrace and an open internal garden. Our room was the Sherazade suite, which was a split level suite with living room and bathroom on the bottom level and bedroom on a mezzanine floor above. The room was cool to prevent the heat getting in too much and was decorated in lovely colourful silks with local furniture and paintings etc. The location was ideal for a stay in the heart of the Medina and we walked everywhere we wanted to go in the city. We also booked a day trip to the Atlas mountain villages and this was a nice alternative to the hustle and bustle of the city (as was the great spa experience at Les Bains de Morocco).
There was a stand out characteristic of the Riad also - his name is Abdul, who was the daytime concierge I guess you might describe him as. Mustapha was the night time concierge and was also fantastic (including taking us and our bags to the taxi transfer for our return flight when the external porter was late) but I have to say a massive thank you in particular to Abdul who personified all that there is about great traditional hospitality and customer service. Nothing was too much trouble and he patiently explained and highlighted us some of the hotspots on the map, he recommended and booked all of our trips, restaurants, spas, etc. for us, carried an extra table up to the roof terrace so that we could have our breakfast there and he even took us personally to a local market trader to buy spices so that we didn't face the prospect of getting ripped off at tourist rates in the Souks.
Thank you to all at the Riad Lorsya as you ALL helped to make our trip so special and memorable.

Room Tip: We stayed in a suite called the Sherazade Suite - a very good option here
