As we got dropped off a little bit out of the riad (as the car could not go any further or closer to the entrance) we were a little bit lost in what looked to be Ghetto Marrakech. We were approached b a 14 year old local who seemed to be very helpful, carrying our luggage and guiding us to the entrance of the hotel. We had to go through little alley ways to get to the Riad. The boy then insisted we pay him! he then got told to leave us alone by our hotel staff who were AMAZING! As we walked in it looked like a really cute little oasis with traditional yet modern Moroccan interior - outside, rooms, roof top, etc. The staff took out bags upstairs, very relaxing stay.

Great service!!! The guys here are so nice and provide you with everything you need/want.

Beautiful interior and design. Antique look yet modern approach.

The 14 year old boy ended up finding us again in the streets and was really friendly and showed us around the city and told us the history and fun facts (don't be scared of them) however I wouldn't advise walking alone at night in the streets.

Riad offered great service, very very friendly staff!

The only bad thing I would have to say is the hamam and body massage I received, the lady insisted I must take my bra off which made me feel a little bit uncomfortable.

We booked to stay here a bit apprehensively after reading one negative review - so glad we ignored it this place is bliss.

The riad is a bit hard to find the first time ( £20 taxi ride from the airport and have some small notes to tip the boys that hang around near where the taxi drop you off that will offer to take you to the riad). It's about a 10 min walk to the main square ( blissfully far enough away) and to the souks.

The riad itself is gorgeous and modern Moroccan. The staff are excellent. The pool is big enough to get in for a swim on hot hot days ( we had a little pool party one afternoon with the other guests). The rooftop is awesome for sunbathing - shade and hats are even provided.

Air con is brilliant, flat screen tvs ( bring your own DVDs) no noise issues and on site spa and chef. Breakfast was lovely ( and western style).

I honestly could not find fault with a single thing - any negative reviews are mad in my opinion.

A little overpriced for a 3 star hotel. Staff were great. We were there 3 days and no one cleaned the pool. Bed was hard as a rock. Be ready for a little walk from where the taxi drops you off as it is down a couple of alleyways to get there. EVERYTHING is paid in Euros.

Utopia has the friendliest staff and best atmosphere!

We went with a small child and were very satisfied with everything. Beautifully decorated rooms and good food. Nice location. Very safe, you don´t even feel that you have to lock the door.

Many thanks to the friendly staff and especially to Abdel and Aziz! Hope to see you again!
