“Oasis of calm in mad Marrakech”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 24, 2013

Just back from 4 nights at Riad Jonan. Friendly, attentive and really helpful staff made this a great place to stay and the pretty, tranquil and comfortable Riad was a haven of calm in the midst of Marrakech. Breakfast always great - prunes in orange and cinnamon with the homemade yoghurt highly recommended and we had dinner in one night which was excellent - delicious tagines and very generous portions. Great position about 15 minutes walk to the main square and ideal for visiting all the sights. Definitely recommend this Riad

Room Tip: Loved being woken by the cockerel and the call to prayer!

“Lovely Riad”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 17, 2013

Lovely Riad. Could highly recommend staying here. Attentive professional staff who were always happy to help with booking restaurants etc. Passed on many helpful tips.
Lovely roof terrace but we only discovered it the day we left.

“Recommended for Young Couples”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 16, 2013

Perfect service, really helpful staff, good breakfast, nice location near the palaces, would recommend. We booked Riad Dubai but due to an error on their part they were over-booked and Riad Jonan agreed to take us and were helpful with everything. Nicely decorated roof terrace and communal areas. Stayed in tantan; the ensuite is actually a small walled off part of the room so not very private but fine.

“Charming Riad”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 15, 2013

Just returned from a 5 day stay at Riad Jonan and we loved it. We arrived in the evening and were picked up at the airport by someone organized through the riad. We were greeted at the riad with mint tea and biscuits and then sat down to a very nice traditional Moroccan dinner which we had organized before arriving. Dinner consisted of four different spiced vegetables with bread, vegetable tagine for myself and chicken tagine for my boyfriend, cous cous, and oranges with cinnamon for dessert. We also shared a half bottle of rose wine. It was by far enough food! Breakfast was included each day and was one of my favourite parts of the day. You could choose one of any item on the menu (scrambled eggs, omelette, cereal, yogurt, etc.) and this was followed by pastries (croissants, toast, crepes), fresh orange juice and coffee and tea. There are a few different areas in the riad to sit down and relax, as well as a rooftop terrace to take in the sun. The terrace has lounge chairs, each with a towel and a sun-hat. Our room was upgraded to a superior room upon arrival, (known as the Meknes). The bed was very comfortable with lots of pillows, and the ensuite bathroom was also nice. The room also included a hairdryer, fridge, safe, iPod dock and a seating area. The riad was quiet and we had good sleeps each night. It was a little strange sleeping in a room with no windows as it was so dark in the morning, but the nearby rooster usually let us know it was morning! I enjoyed tea before going to bed which the staff were always willing to prepare for me when we got in. The riad was just a 10 minute walk to the main Medina, and just a couple minute walk to the Saadian Tombs. We always felt safe in the area, even when coming back later in the evening. The staff were very friendly, professional and attentive. We sat down with a staff member our first morning, and he provided us with a map and lots of information on Marrakech which was helpful as this was our first time in Marrakech. He gave us information on different day trips and we ended up booking the Atlas Mountain tour (it was nice to visit the mountains, but be prepared to spend quite a bit of money as you are dropped off at different places along the way, all of which ask for extra money, even when you tell them you are not interested in having a guide or getting your picture taken with a camel they still somehow manage to reel you in). I really can't say anything bad about the Riad Jonan, but if were forced to critique anything it would probably be the pool which was quite small and I didn't se anyone swimming in it while we were there. Was still pretty and a tranquil area to sit by either way. They organized a driver to take us to the airport on the day we left as well. I would definitely recommend this riad to anyone thinking of traveling to Marrakech. It provided us with a safe calming haven to come back to each day, which is definitely needed in a place like Marrakech! Thanks for the wonderful stay!

“Very enjoyable Riad”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 12, 2013

We enjoyed the friendly and professional service, and the arabic charm of this Riad with all its colourful tiles and decorative lamps, little pools in the courtyards, and its roof garden. The night we arrived we had beef tagine with orange sauce and it was really excellent. When we had a small problem with our room, we were offered another without hesitation. In fact the staff were always attentive and friendly. The atmosphere of the Riad was pleasantly quiet, and that's just what you need after walking through the souks and noisy streets of Marrakech, jumping out of the way of scooters, horse and carriages, donkeys, and cars.
