Leaving. Just loved every minute. in Marrakech and our time in the Riad.

Breakfast was absolutely first-class and attention by the staff was simple wonderful. As it was at all times. Really felt part of a 'family' while staying in the Riad. Rooms were great and outside areas and courtyards were just incredible. A most beautiful place indeed and haven't stopped sharing my experiences with my friends back in Ireland.

We liked everything!!

We loved the Riad, magnificent decor designed to perfection, but above all, we enjoyed the warmth by the staff - impeccable friendly service throughout - we felt at home !!

We travelled in January and the heating wasn’t working well, so although we received extra blankets, it was cold in the room, which made it less comfortable.

Very nice design, attention to details, great rooftop terrace.

I can't really find any faults with either the riad itself or any of the staff who work there.

There are many, many riads in Marrakech but I can't imagine that there many more beautiful than Riad Laurence Olivier. Our room (we had a suite) was absolutely lovely and the staff were incredibly helpful, friendly and generous (special mention to Ali, Anis, Mohamed and Simon who helped make our short holiday so memorable.) Thanks again to all! The breakfasts - served in the beautiful poolside garden - were excellent and the dinners (we ate in the riad on two occasions during our stay) were simply fantastic.

Unfortunately the aircon in our room only operated at full speed, Causing it to be too noisy to use at night when it was most needed.

Hidden oasis, on the edge of the bustling heart of Marrakech. Great location for getting around, especially when exploring on foot. Quiet, calm and cool escape from the heat and fast pace of local life. Staff were an absolute delight and could not do enough for you. We had a fabulous 3 roomed suite that looked and smelled divine! The courtyard breakfast was the perfect set up for the day and the one evening meal we did have in was actually the best Lamb Tagine of several experienced during our trip. Really glad we picked this Riad over any other accommodation and would certainly recommend to other guests. The live-in Tortoises were an added bonus and watching them and their tiny babies go about their daily business was added fun.

Although it wasn’t a problem for us, you are in what would be considered the more industrial part of the medina. I loved walking past the work shops and you are only a 15 minute walk from the main square.

Absolutely beautiful stay here for my 40th birthday. We received a bottle of Prosecco on arrival, courtesy of the owner, Laurence. Mohammed and Ali were on hand for all of our needs and were full of useful information about the area. Stunning courtyard and rooftop terrace giving you views of the mountains. An amazing experience. Thank you so much to everyone at the Riad!

We didn’t like the fact to have to leave, just magical and perfect, can’t fault anything, we can’t emphasise that enough…loved it

We loved the property, and everything about it

The staff were so kind and helpful at all times.

My room had a bit of a damp smell, but not enough to complain about.

Just beautiful, authentic Moroccan decor with the most fantastic pool.

Stayed in February 2024

First night we were in a different room where there was a bit of a leak - but they moved us quickly and sorted it all out.

Beautiful Riad with incredibly friendly and attentive staff. Stayed in the suite, which was spacious and stunning. Breakfast was generous and delicious. Conveniently located in easy walking distance to the centre.

That's a difficult question. I cannot think of anything.

From entering the Rhiad you are surrounded by wonderful experience that pleases all your senses. The staff are welcoming, very friendly and helpful.

Nothing. We loved everything!

I love the ambience. It's peaceful and beautiful. As soon as we come inside the room, it smells amazing. The people are lovely, approachable, and friendly. They always have such a beautiful smile. The manager is so helpful as well and very generous. He even helped us with the best places to go to and provided tips on how to get around. Me and my mum really enjoyed our stay. There's A/C, and toiletries are well stocked. They clean the room every day and really well. The area is very near the market and it's walkable. They have spa and massage, which my mum enjoyed as well. The price is reasonable as well, and the food is amazing. We would absolutely recommend this Riad. 5 stars!

The only thing I didn’t like was that we had to leave at some point… that was too hard

Riad Laurence Olivier is more than expected, it’s been the home away from home, Royal design and hospitality in the highest form. I am so happy and pleased to have chosen this jewel for my first Moroccan stay. From the entrance to every single detail, it’s given us a “wow” effect!

Beds were very hard

Lovely hotel with amazing service and staff. Great location

Stayed in October 2023

Everything was great, outside the riad though felt a little unsafe.

Good location, staff were very friendly, kind and very helpful. Defiantly recommend

Stayed in June 2023

Breakfast seemed to take forever, but it was all freshly made, Moroccan pancakes, cakes, fruit, local jams. There was no tea/coffee available in the room, so we were gasping for our first coffee of the day while breakfast was made!

Beautifully decorated Riad, using antiques from Morocco and India. We had a large suite with a huge round copper bath tub. Very comfortable bed with good linen. the location is outside the Medina and although it was possible to walk into the centre, we mostly used taxis which took between 5-10 minutes depending on traffic. never a problem to find a taxi. The staff took great care of us, with cups of mint tea always available.

very friendly and helpful staff. very tranquil and relaxing Riad.

All the staff were fabulous. They were all so friendly and very helpful. Nothing was a problem!

The bathroom was small but the real problem was drainage from both shower and basin. The water went down far too slowly so that it was difficult to avoid flooding when showering! Pillows were not comfortable but quickly changed on request.

The location was excellent even though the approach was somewhat down at heel -this made the entrance into the Riad even more enchanting! The building itself is beautiful and well kept. The staff were unfailingly helpful and charming. Breakfast was not a run of the mill buffet and care was taken in presentation and content.

We loved it I would strongly recommend family Znd friends to visit Marrakesh and stay at this beautiful place .

We loved staying at the spa. We met our gracious host Laurence, who showed great hospitality to her guests . Loved the food, surroundings and the beautiful courtyard

Stayed in February 2023

The staff were so friendly and happy to help with anything. Simon was fantastic advising us on places to see, where to eat, and general advice on visiting Marrakech and bartering. Riad was beautiful, very clean with a relaxing atmosphere. The main square is about a 12 minute walk and walking distance to the main sights. Our standard room was on the top outside terrace, a great spot to enjoy the sunset. The bedroom was small but had a large shower room opening into it with double doors, plenty of space to get ready. Breakfast was tasty and plentiful served from 8.30am. The staff were happy to accommodate an earlier breakfast on our day trip out to the Atlas mountains. Overall an amazing, peaceful Riad in Marrakech that I would recommend. Thank you to Laurence and your team, we had an amazing stay !

There was absolutely nothing we didn't like. In an ideal world we would have liked to be closer to the other side of the Medina but its still easily accessible. I am Gluten Intolerant and it would have been amazing if i could have eaten similar to the other guests at breakfast (e.g. Bread, cake and crepes) however understand this is a bigger ask and they still catered for me.

Laurence was the sweetest and most caring and passionate host, the NYE party she arranged was perfect and all the staff were so kind and friendly. Lounges were comfy and warm and the rooms were all beautiful and authentic.
