Riad 58 Blu

Incredibly friendly staff who were personable, approachable and helpful with tips for visiting the city. The Riad itself was beautiful, quiet and away from the hectic medina making it a great place to return to after a busy day out in the city.

I visited Riad 58 Blu with my best friend. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Ismael, who is a truly wonderful person and an exceptional host. We could always count on his support and help with everything. He treated every guest individually, did his best to make our stay even more enjoyable and was always ready to assist with a smile on his face. We felt completely at home and very safe throughout our stay. The breakfasts were delicious, the beds were comfortable,the riad offered air conditioning, a safe, and a fantastic swimming pool. It is located in a central part of the city, yet inside it is peaceful and pleasantly cool. We travel a lot, but we have never met such a caring and dedicated host as Ismael during any of our holidays. We highly recommend this place and will definitely return to Marrakech with our friends and family. Without a doubt, we will stay here again.

This was our first experience of staying in Marrakech and in a Riad. It was a very historic tradition building with most features kept to the original with the welcome additions of air-conditioning 💙 it created a relaxing atmosphere & a stark transition from the bustling & curiously chaotic streets which led you to the main square in the Madina. Ishmael took care & guided us from the minute we arrived (coming to meet our taxi transfer) and assisting us directly to the Riad (would probably have not believed we were at the correct location had he not) our experience was filled with intrigue & he provided us with all the information and guidance required for our stay always at hand with his knowledge & experience and not forgetting his delightful breakfasts 👌truly Amazing and we were extremely grateful Thank you so much Ishmael & also the other gentleman who was also available in the afternoons to support our stay 💙✨️ Jenny & Chris🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

We stayed for 3 nights in this beautiful Riad in early June. Right from the moment we arrived the service was excellent. Ismael was welcoming and entertaining and everyone there made us feel welcome. The room was stunning! Gorgeous decor and also practical - air conditioning was brilliant, bed very comfortable and lots of storage. The courtyard was absolutely amazing, a lovely plunge pool and sitting there you could forget you’re in the middle of a bustling city, it was so quiet and no traffic noise. Breakfast was served on the roof terrace and was very nice. Bread, jams/nutella and cake/crepe. Would have benefited from some fresh fruit and cereal but it was good quality, The location is great for visiting the souk and only about 10 mins walk to the main square, so very convenient and great to walk through the narrow streets on the way there. No cars can get near due to the narrowness so the taxi will drop off you off on the next street but it’s only a less than a minute walk so don’t worry!! Marrakech is a wonderful city and Riad 58 is a perfect base for your visit.

This place is a real gem. Right in the middle of Old Town Marrakech. Ishmael and his staff couldn't do enough for us. From the moment we stepped through the door to the time we left it was wonderful. Really nice breakfast, plenty of it. If you fancied something different to the breads and pancakes, they would get it for you, nothing was too much bother. Ishmael recommended restaurants to us, all of which were excellent. Pool was a welcome treat after the heat of the day. This place is a real oasis. Peace and quiet from the hustle and bustle, surprising considering how close it is to the centre of the old town. Room and whole place was very clean. Plenty of hot water, good shower. Excellent value for money. I would definitely stay here again.

Top host

100% recommend staying in this riad if you are coming to Marrakech. The Riad itself is extremely aesthetically pleasing. The staff who work here are very friendly, and go above and beyond. For example, bringing us snacks at 1am. I would highlight that the staff seem to be well accustomed to English tourists, such as offering English breakfast tea for breakfast and speaking English. This makes it a very comfortable and welcoming place for anyone visiting from England. It is very clean throughout. The breakfast is lovely, especially being out on the terrace. Bonus points for the cute tortoise. The Riad itself is quiet, which is really needed after the bustling atmosphere of Marrakech. It is only around 15 minutes to walk to the Jeema el-Fnaa. The staff at the riad will be able to give you really good recommendations. In particular, they were able to recommend a Hammam to us, which was a great price and we really enjoyed. Being so close to the centre, there was plenty to do including desert quad biking/camel riding (pick up required), exploring the medina and the souks within them, visiting a Hammam, having a pool day, plenty of places to eat or snack and visiting the new town. We stayed in the Emerald suite. The suite is gorgeous, and it gave us the perfect place to unwind after busy days exploring. I would also point out that we were there during 38 degree heat and the room was very cool. We are usually quite selective with where we stay, and Riad 58 Blu fully exceeded all our expectations. When we come back to Marrakech, we will definitely be returning to this riad.

This Riad is exceptional. All the rooms are amazing, the beds are comfortable, amenities very good, and the location is close enough to the central Square but far enough way to be out of the hustle and bustle but what makes this Riad really exceptional is the service. Ismael is a wonderful host and cannot do enough for you. He helps you navigate Marrakesh (he personally shows you); order taxis when you need them; arrange an early breakfast if you need it and make sure you are comfortable at all times. He ordered us a taxi to pick us up at the airport and had dinner ready on our arrival as we arrived late on the first night. This place is truly exceptional, and I would highly recommend it to anybody, you will not be disappointed.

From the moment we booked this Riad the service was amazing. Ismael was responsive emails, organised taxi’s for us to pick us up at the airport and cooked a special dinner for us on our first night, as we arrived late. The Riad is spotlessly clean and all the rooms are different but all amazing. Comfortable beds, fantastic amenities, everything you need. The location is also great. Close to the main square but fa enough away to escape all the hustle and bustle in a very safe area. But what makes this Riad really stand out is Ismael who cannot do enough for you. He is always there ready to help. I’ve honestly never seen anyone work this hard, always with a smile and always willing to answer any questions, arrange a taxi for you, make a dinner reservation/recommendation, make sure breakfast was served when we had to leave early one day, really no one could do more. I’d recommend this place to anyone (and I am someone who travels a lot and I am quite chosey about where I stay) It really is that good.

From the moment we arrived to our departure we were made so welcome. The staff are fantastic and a special thanks to Ismael who couldn't do enough for you. Breakfast was great and the rooms were beautiful and spotlessly clean. It exceeded my expectations in all ways. The location of the Riad is just a few minutes away from the hustle and bustle but close enough to walk to all the major spots. I am so pleased we choose this Riad and will definitely come back. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Our stay at Riad 58 Blu was absolutely wonderful! The breakfast was delicious, and our room was beautiful and spotless. The owner gave us excellent information about what to do in Marrakech and what to be aware of, which was incredibly helpful. A special thank you to Ismael (smile) — he is always ready to help with anything, and no question is too much for him. He takes care of everything for you! Not to mention his constant positivity, warm smile, and kindness. He truly made our stay even more special!

Booked a few days here for my partner's 50th, and could not have asked for a warmer welcome. The riad is located perfectly for an easy stroll to Jemaa el-Fnaa but is also a peaceful haven if you need to relax after a busy day's shopping in the souk. Ismail was a great host and was extremely helpful - not only with directions/transfers and advice on which sights to see, but also surprised my fiancée with a lovely bunch of flowers on her birthday. Breakfast was great, every day, and we also took advantage of a home-cooked tagine on our first night. With so many different riads to choose from, 58 Blu is top tier and one of a handful that practically guarantee you a comfortable and relaxing stay in one of the most interesting cities in the world.

L accueil est chaleureux et la localisation idéale (à 10mns de la place) La décoration est soignée et les 5 chambres rendent ce lieu calme et paisible. Ismaël est très attentif au bien être de chacun et est toujours disponible. Il nous a donné de bonnes adresses de restaurants et de hammam. Le petit déjeuner sur la terrasse est vraiment délicieux Nous sommes enchantées par notre séjour et nous ne pouvons que recommander ce magnifique Riad et l ambiance qui y règne.

Tout était parfait

El trato de Paolo y de su equipo. El trato hace que literalmente te sientas como en casa y te ayudan con todo lo que necesites. En nuestro caso desde limpiarme un jersey, hasta conseguirme el contacto para alquilar un coche a muy buen precio. Las habitaciones son grandes, espaciosas, cómodas y limpias. El desayuno super bien también.

Praticamente tutto lo staff la pulizia i servizi

Tutto perfetto Paolo e Ismail sono fantastici! Ci hanno dato ottimi consigli, ci hanno affidate a una guida eccezionale per visitare la medina, e supportate con tutte le prenotazioni. Il Riad è molto curato, un oasi di pace nel trambusto della medina. Colazione ottima.

All the staff is very nice and convenient.

Riad 58 Blu is beautiful. Despite being so close to all the action, it is so peaceful and tranquil. The rooms are spacious clean and tidy. The food delicious. The star of the show without doubt though is Ismail. He is the most wonderful host, and clearly loves the Riad and all of its visitors. Greeting everyone with such a warm and friendly attitude, we genuinely felt like both part of his family and royalty. Eager to please, nothing is too much for Ismail, within 5 minutes of asking where I could get my son a toothbrush as I’d forgotten to pack, Ismail returned with one from a local shop. Effort rarely seen and he completed our stay entirely. Ismail is the jewel in Riad 58 Blu’s crown

From the moment we arrived we were made to feel so welcome and nothing was too much trouble. This beautiful Riad is in the perfect spot for a true Marrakech experience. We stayed in the Emerald room, it was very cosy and inviting. The best view from our bedroom area of the pool! We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and Ismail prepared us a truly delicious celebration meal. He made our evening just perfect. The main square, souks etc and so very busy but this little gem restores all the calm and tranquility. Breakfast was delicious and served on the roof terrace - lots of choice and plentiful. Short walks to explore and meeting points for guided walks (should you book any). We are so grateful to the whole team for our truly wonderful experience and will definitely return. Thank you for the anniversary gift.

Peaceful small Riad 7 mins walk from the main square . Great team there looking after us great traditional breakfast on roof terrace . We were in the gold room large room comfy and quiet there are heaters too if it’s cold overnight . Don’t forget there’s a small tourist tax in Morocco it was 150 MAD for 3 nights so v small amount Paolo was always quick to reply to me and ismail was so hard working and made me a lovely English breakfast tea !

A fantastic Moroccan oasis. Staff were fantastic told us it was our home while in Marakesh, nothing was ever a problem they went above and beyond. Rooms had a true Moroccan vibe. Breakfast on the rooftop was lovely each morning. Location was great close to souks restaurants and squares. Paolo booked us a Hamman and massage at Alphais spa prior to arrival,which was an incredible experience. Rooms were cleaned and fresh towels every day

Me and my mum stayed for a few nights when visiting Marrakesh, the staff could not be more helpful! Really friendly and we just felt at home!! The room was brilliant, clean and authentic. It took us around a 10 minute walk to get to the Jemaa El-Fnaa square, and there is a taxi rank 100m which provided us with easy links to the other side of town. The staff were happy to book us a fixed price taxi to the airport from this square. I have a gluten intolerance and it was no trouble for them to provide an alternative breakfast for me, which I have struggled with abroad previously I cannot recommend this Riad enough! We will definitely be back!! Thank you and your staff for a lovely stay xx

Great location. Lovely room (Diamanté) and staff were so friendly and helpful. Especially Ishmael, who really went out of his way to make sure our stay was enjoyable.

Only thing I didn’t like was the pillows were too hard and plump. Gave me neck ache.

Beautiful Riad, perfectly located for exploring Marrakech Medina. They arranged transport to and from the airport included in our stay and kindly agreed to change our room when we mentioned that the bathroom drains in our first room smelt bad and made the entire room smell. Our replacement room was delightful and the bed very comfortable. The only negative was the pillows as they were too hard and full and made my neck hurt, but that’s more of a personal preference. The room was spotlessly clean and serviced everyday. The breakfast was nice and service was great. Ishmael in particular was really friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend.

Gospodarz i obsługa. Bardzo uprzejmi, w lot doradzali i pomagali. Wyprzedzali myśli.

Odrobinę mały pokój mieliśmy. Ale czysty i przyjemny. Piękny taras za to nad pokojem

This was our first trip to Morocco and it didn’t disappoint. The Riad 58 Blu is a charming Riad in the Medina, perfectly placed for access to all the attractions. We were transferred by taxi to a small drop off area, very close to the Riad. This proved to be an asset when booking excursions as it was so easy to find for pick ups. The taxi driver, arranged by EasyJet, called ahead and we were met by the Manager who showed us the short distance to our accommodation. Our room was on the top floor and had everything we needed for our 4 night stay. We even had a table outside our room which was laid up for breakfast the next morning. I had booked half board and the food was amazing! Evening meal comprised of a wonderful salad, followed by a tagline with chicken or lamb, beautifully cooked with tasty vegetables and plenty of it! We took the fruit from dinner and had it with yogurt and honey at breakfast, which was also very tasty. The staff at the Riad were so friendly and helpful, especially Ishmael who gave us lots of information of where to go and what to see; nothing was ever too much trouble. He made our stay very memorable with his friendly conversation and service. The room was small but so pretty and kept very clean and tidy by the cleaning ladies. I would definitely recommend Riad 58 Blu as a base to explore the city. Also, you must book a sunrise hot air balloon ride which was the highlight of our stay. A magical experience!

Stayed here for 5 nights. It might look like it’s off the beaten track when you first get here, but you’ll soon learn you are perfectly placed. It’s spotlessly clean and so relaxing here. It’s situated about 200m from the Markets down some back alleys - DO NOT LET THIS PUT YOU OFF. It is really safe in Marakkesh, my wife and I felt really safe. The locals are just so friendly, got asked many times if we needed directions - I would be happy if my teenage daughters decided to come here. THE ROOM We stayed in Angel (Blue) Room. It’s probably the smallest room in the Riad, but plenty of space for two. Bed was REALLY comfy, we had our own private balcony. We were on the 2nd floor, but the stairs were fine. Room cleaned every day and new towels. THE STAFF Outstanding. Nothing was too much trouble Ismail is worth his weight in gold. He managed to sort us a bottle of wine each night for us to enjoy on the balcony BREAKFAST Fresh Moroccan breads, jams, joghurt, fresh juice and coffee all served under the pergola LOCATION Right in the heart of the Medina, but far enough away that it’s really quiet and peaceful. Pharmacy less than 50m away if you should need it. Try Pepe Nero Restaurant - it’s quite pricey, but the food, location and service was outstanding THE MEDINA / MARKETS It’s an experience that’s for sure !! Be prepared to haggle - a lot ! However it’s all in good natured. Just follow your nose and you’ll find some real bargains TRIPS / EXCURSIONS We did 3. All booked through Get My Guide App (download it if you haven’t already). Food Tour - it’s a must. Sampled lots of diffferent dishes in places that we’d never have found. 10/10 Camels, Sunset, Fire Show - average at best for us, others loved it Cooking Class - loved it. Made some great tagines that we can definitely copy at home 10/10 RESTAURANTS / ALCOHOL Many do serve alcohol, many don’t. You’ll easily find the ones that do !! You can’t just buy alcohol in a shop. Restaurants and Riads only Overall, we’ve had a wonderful stay at Riad 58 Blu and would definitely recommend it as a perfect location to stay at to explore the wonderful, crazy city that is Marrakech

What a lovely place. My daughter and I spent 3 nights here. We received a very warm and friendly welcome. We stayed in Diamond room which was spacious and very clean. The room was cleaned daily with clean towels and topped up toiletries tea coffee etc. All the staff were very friendly, nothing was too much trouble. Big thanks to Ismail. The food was delicious with choices for breakfast and evening, bottled water was available. All served under a pergola on roof terrace. The Riad is situated in the heart of the Medina, up a side street, at night it’s quiet. We felt safe walking around. Lots of hustle and bustle when walking through the souks and markets. But we really enjoyed the experience. Thank you for a wonderful stay Mrs Flowers 😂

Le cadre et l'emplacement

Chambre trop près du salon,on entendait ceux qui venaient discuter tard

The staff were very helpful. The Riad is a very relaxing retreat extremely close to the very lively centre of Marrakech. The breakfast was a real treat. Everywhere was really clean and comfortable

Nothing

What a find, a perfect relaxing get away. In a quite neighborhood but very close to the main centre, (5 minute walk). The owner and staff were all friendly and went out of their way to make sure that we go the most out of our stay. The room was very clean and comfortable helped by a modern air con unit. Breakfast was plentiful with Moroccan breads. All in all I would return here in a heartbeat and recommend to friends.

Average stay. Spacious room, but noisy aircon, the Wi-Fi is unusable—very slow and constantly disconnects. The pool is tiny—more like a water feature. Not in a good area of Medina. Breakfast is average.

The Riad is a sanctuary to return to after a busy day in the medina and souks. Very quiet, with only 5 rooms. The staff are fantastic, helpful and we felt so safe that we left our room key with them when we went out for the day. It’s only a short walk into the medina. Our room (Angel) had shower gel and cotton buds, a hair dryer and tea and coffee facilities and we were always given free bottles of water. Breakfast is a nice selections of breads, pancakes, yogurt and omlette on request. We would recommend this riad to anyone.

Du debut à la fin de notre séjour, nous avons été choyé. Beaucoup d'attention et un service a la hauteur de l'acceuil Marocain. Bref: très belle expérience a faire. Merci à l'équipe.

Der Riad ist liebevoll und authentisch eingerichtet. Zentrale Lage, freundliches, hilfsbereites Personal. Das Frühstück ist sehr gut und persönliche Wünsche werden gerne erfüllt. Preis- Leistungsverhältnis stimmt.

Nichts

A fabulous place to stay, Paolo and his team were welcoming, polite and very helpful. nothing was too much trouble. The room was clean and air conditioned, the breakfast on the roof terrace was delicious. The location was perfect for us. When we return to Marrakesh we will definitely be staying here again Martin & Roxanne

My husband and I had a heavenly few days staying at the Riad 58 Blu. It is such a peaceful oasis in the heart of the medina in Marrakech and instantly relaxing. Our room (Emerald) was spacious and very comfortably laid out, with lovely attention to detail. Breakfasts on the 2nd floor were a real treat each morning, especially when Raja the pet tortoise was there to greet us - simple but enough to start the day and the freshly squeezed orange juice was to die for. Youssef, Ismail and Paulo were so warm and welcoming and big credits also go to the cleaning and catering team, not to be forgotten! Brilliant location within walking distance of all the main sights and a plunge pool to dip into at the end of hot days in the souks. Highly recommended.

This Riad is in a great location, close to the main square (15 minutes walk away) . It's a hidden gem down an alley. The staff are very friendly and professional. Ismael was so good with tips, recommendations and arranged a taxi from the airport and again when we were leaving. He even offered to walk us to a meeting point when we had an early pick up to do a hot air balloon trip over the desert. It gets quite hot in Marrakech so having a pool to cool down in was really great after walking around the Medina. The Riad is very clean and comfortable.

Great Riad in the old town. We landed late and Ismail had arranged for a taxi to collect us- also arranged a taxi for the day we departed - all included in our booking. Our room was nice and spacious for 3 and was spotless. Breakfast was served every morning on the terrace which was lovely. Tea/ coffee, fresh orange juice, bread , cheese, omelette, pancakes and Nutella. Ismail was very helpful with suggestions on what to do in Marrakech - places to visit , restaurants and what we should expect to pay for taxis etc. The plunge pool was a welcome sight and a great place to cool down after exploring the city in 40 + degrees heat. I would recommend a stay here for any visitors to Marrakech.

Ismail was super friendly and full of tips and recommendations. He organised a transfer to and from the Riad at either end of our stay free of charge. We booked a large room with a double and single bed as 3 of us. It was spacious and clean with breakfast served on the rooftop terrace. Watch out for Raja their pet tortoise. Beautiful Riad located 15 minutes walk from the main square. As 3 women we felt safe wandering around. A dip in the pool was a welcome treat returning from our trips exploring the souks and the Medina.

Beautiful,spotless,central. Fabulous service-Ismail was beyond helpful. Food was delicious. Lots of added helpful extras like taxi to/from airport,boarding cards printed etc.

Amazing good, friendly, helpful owner and staff. My 2nd time here.. they couldnt do enough for you. Hospitality at its best! Lovely downstairs suite room with settee. Beautiful stained glass in windows, doors. Found it relaxing and delightfully quiet at night. Good evening meals. Would highly recommend.

I had the pleasure of staying here twice during my vacation. A beautiful riad in the heart of the Medina offering an authentic feel. On my first day a member of staff told me the riad is not a regular hotel where guests stay in their rooms, it is a home where people can relax and socialize while feeling at ease. It truly felt this way. Thank you for making my Vacation in Morocco so memorable.

Beyond expectations. Rooms are spacious, clean, and beautiful. Staff are amazing, very helpful and go above and beyond to ensure you are comfortable during your stay. Great price for what you receive in return!

Fantastic little find, we arrived late greeted by lovely man who said he’d make us something to eat , didn’t expect it, don’t be fooled he charged us 8 quid each for an omelette which so salty couldn’t eat it Any how Showed us room it was amazing Looking at it same room as picture we were hoping to get This hotel is not for anyone with mobility issues Stairs to the top are steep and stone Room lovely clean immaculate Hairdryer etc toiletries towels water small bottle We had our own terrace n top hotel is a roof terrace with 2 loungers Ground floor small plunge pool very good hot days sit it It’s not swim as it’s small It’s reminded me n my friend of a quaint BB , very traditional Staff amazing honestly couldn’t do enough for you I will remind you that there is a room tax This was not mentioned to us when we arrived or by tour operator easy jet Pay when you leave Do make sure u have cash There is small walk into the madina through the small ally ways see loads cats n kittens stray well looked after by locals plenty mopeds n bikes be careful I can honestly say we were so safe did not at any point feel unsafe walking through the day or at night Oh I can just point out the hotel door is locked st night but it’s manned 24 hours just push bell n someone open door u Alcohol there none in shops etc So if u like tipple buy it on the plane or airport There are restaurants not many serve alcohol if they do they tend to be upstairs out way n be prepared walk n they are expensive too like home prices uk Food not spicy as u would expect if u like spice u need to tell them n they add it

Just got back from a 4 night stay in this beautiful Riad. Nothing was too much trouble for Ishmael, he came and met us when we arrived which we were so grateful for as when you first turn up in Marrakech it is very overwhelming due to traffic with mopeds and tuktuks everywhere and the surrounding area is quite run down which is normal for Marrakech, but don’t let it put you off. The Riad is so peaceful, beautiful and authentic. Breakfast was good and set us up for day. Great location for exploring the medina, souks and surrounding area.

We really enjoyed our stay here! From the moment we arrived, we felt at home. The riad itself is beautiful. It is small so feels homely, with a beautiful terrace and plunge pool area. The breakfast was delicious. We had a few early day trips booked but Ismail and Yousef kindly catered to this by providing breakfast before the usual hours. Both of these members of staff were absolutely fantastic, making sure we were enjoying ourselves and giving recommendations to avoid scams/ advising things to see. The riad is also located in a great location so we could easily walk to all the sites! Thank you so much!

Delicious!

We had a fantastic stay in this lovely Riad. From the minute we walked through the door the staff couldn’t do enough for us - a special thank you to Ishmael who went out of his way to help in any way he could. We stayed in the Emerald suite which was spacious, tastefully decorated and really clean. We cannot recommend this Riad enough.

Lovely Riad bordering the old Medina, so allowing easy access to the hustle and bustle of the old city, but far enough for it to be quiet at night. The Riad is beautifully decorated and charming with a good breakfast. Ismael is full of energy and extremely helpful organising activities and taxis

Private transfer dropped us at the end of the alley and Paolo met us after a short wait in the car. He was very helpful, showed us a map, checked us in- and brought water and mint tea after we asked. The room itself (Gold) was lively, spacious, bright and airy, but the Riad is too noisy. Scraping of chairs every morning on tbe rooftop/terrace, the door buzzer at night as it's the only way to get in, and we could hear every word everyone said morning and night. We had breakfast one morning, it was pure sugary goods, and we were advised the gas had just gone so he had to change it- we had asked the times of breakfast and was told to go up whenever we wanted. It wasn't something I would eat again, we only had breakfast once in the 4 mornings we were there. The tv didn't work properly, even Paolo struggled to use it when we arrived. We also weren't informed about cleaning or check out times, and the staff were hard to find at most times. They are very, very helpful when you do see them, but we would prefer a more formal/organised set up. On checkout, we were given the city tax bill, paid and waited for change- and the member of staff didn't have any change to give us, this is very hard to believe for a fully functioning business. He tried to give us 2 American dollar bills, knowing we are from the UK and these would not be of any use to us, so we left them with him. It is part of the experience, very well located, but definitely more of a UK 'B&B' set up than a hotel. The pool wasn't big enough to get in and the area is a bit too close for comfort so we didn't try it.

My partner and I stayed in this beautiful riad for 7 nights and had an amazing time. Riad 58 Blu is tucked away down an alley about a 10 minute walk away from the main square and a 2 minute walk away from a taxi/pick up point and convenience stores. It’s perfectly situated to get away from the Marrakech madness after a day walking round the medina. We stayed on the top floor in the blue Angel room and we were served a delicious Moroccan breakfast every morning just outside our room on the veranda by the riads’s cheery staff. They were all amazing and couldn’t do enough for us. (Even popping out to get us coca-cola when we couldn’t find an open shop🙈❤️). We booked with easyJet and were met up by the riad staff at the pick up point so didn’t have the worry of finding the riad in the dark. Our room, although small, was perfect for our needs. The shower worked well, tea and coffee making facilities were provided and the bed was comfortable. The staff are what make this riad special, all of them are so helpful and appear happy in their work. We briefly saw the owner as we were going out for the day. If we were ever to visit Marrakech again we would not hesitate to book this riad. We feel we had a proper Moroccan experience and I intend to recommend it to any friends who are considering a holiday in this mind-blowing city. Thankyou Riad 58 Blu for making our holiday special 🇲🇦❤️

Lovely stay in beautiful Riad. Clean and welcoming. Perfect rooms in an ideal location. We walked everywhere. Marrakesh is a must visit. We will be back in the future. Loved the experience. Manager Ishmael particularly helpful and friendly.

This traditional Riad is tucked away in a quiet part of town just away from the hustle and bustle of the Medina. There are just 5 individual rooms split over 3 floors. Our room on the ground floor was clean comfortable and spacious. Our hosts Omar and Smile looked after us. We were on half board special thanks to the cook and Smile who served us lovely home cooked meals on the terrace. Our only comment would be on the breakfast which was the same each day with no options. However this did not spoil our wonderful break in this beautiful Riad. 4.5/5

This place was a delight! The rooms are beautiful and comfortable. We especially enjoyed breakfast on the terrace. The proprietor was ready to help with our needs and organized a delightful private tour to introduce us to the city. The locations we great, it allowed us to easily walk through much of Old Town (we're also walkers). I would highly recommend a stay here! Thanks for the hospitality!

We had a wonderful stay at Riad 58 Blu.. Ishmail was the most fabulous host , always smiling and happy to help along with Paolo who ensured we were very well looked after with pre booking & recommending the most fabulous Hammam along with a great guide, ensuring we were fed on the evening of our late arrival .. gorgeous breakfast on a pretty terrace , great location to explore Marrakech The rooms are gorgeous , each one different within in the Riad , warm on chilly nights and always a pleasure to return to .. Would most definitely stay here again and recommend !

It's a cliched phrase, but a 'home away from home' is what this riad was for us. It was our first visit to Marrakech and we were made so welcome, so comfortable and so well cared for that we simply loved our visit. Ismael runs the riad and is one of the loveliest people you could hope to meet. He treated us like family right from the start. None of the other riads we stayed in during our trip came anywhere close to the hospitality we got from Ismael. Communication with Paolo before our arrival was efficient and very helpful. He organized our tours, transport and extra meal requests very well. You will not go wrong staying in this comfortable riad with Ismael and Paolo taking care of you.

We stayed for five nights in February 2025 – writing this from the airport on our way home. The riad strikes a perfect balance: close enough to the main square to walk yet tucked away to ensure quiet, peaceful nights. Security is never a concern; we always felt safe. Our room was immaculate on arrival and maintained daily. We enjoyed the pancake breakfast each morning, complete with the gentle chirp of birds, and evenings were cool and dark, with air conditioning available if required. The highlight is the staff – Ismail, Ikram, Hamila, and Omar. From the moment we arrived, Ismail’s warm welcome – noting our weariness – set the tone, and his hospitality remained constant. I’ll miss being called “Ali Baba” tomorrow! Conversations over breakfast with guests from around the globe added to the charm. A superb retreat after a hectic Marrakchi day.

This is a lovely authentic Riad to stay in. Ishmael, our host, his deputy and the breakfast staff are so welcoming & helpful, nothing is too much trouble. Great location and a short walk to the main square where you’ll find restaurants and shops. Nice rooms. Nice breakfast Would highly recommend

Lovely staff and great location

The smell of cigarette smoke in the room every evening

I booked a few nights in Marrakech as a birthday surprise for my wife & chose 58 Blu based on reviews here. I can only echo these positive views & say that hands-down, this was one of the best stays we’ve experienced anywhere. 58 Blu is a lovely small Riad in the south of the medina & within easy walking distance from Jma el Fnaa & all the souks etc. We had the cosy/traditional blue room just below the roof terrace, but what really makes this place is the generosity & hospitality of the hosts. A special mention has to go to Ismael who was so kind to both of us during our stay & treated my wife to flowers & a cake on her birthday (& thanks for the Gnawa cd!). The ladies who prepared our breakfast every day were smiley & lovely and Youssef was super-friendly & especially helpful with our return transfer. If/when we ever return to Marrakech, we will definitely be staying at 58 Blu.

Close to all of the sites of old town but in a peaceful and quiet location. Room was big and comfortable, very clean, fresh towels and a relaxing place to be after a busy day walking the souk and busy squares. Lovely rooftop view. Staff, especially Ismail, were so helpful and friendly, giving us a map and suggested places of interest. Ismail also walked us to get to our pick up point for a balloon ride at about 6am in the morning even though it was freezing cold. His advice on where to eat was spot on too. Riad close to restaurants. Would definitely stay again.

Communication was prompt and easy, the airport transfer went smoothly, the Riad was clean and comfy. Ismael, the host, was welcoming and always ready to go the extra mile. Thank you for having us!

Beautiful facilities and extremely friendly staff.

A little loud at night.

Amazing facility and staff! Best to pre-arrange transportation . Even local drivers can’t find. But once you’re at this oasis it’s a wonderful experience!

Breakfast was good and served in a timely, friendly way. The location was great for getting to the Souks and places of interest.

Nothing, everything was good. All the staff, Ishmail in particular were brilliant, not forgetting Paolo, young man on reception and house keeping staff. Thank you for making us feel so welcome!

A fabulous place to stay in Marrakesh. Great location and super friendly helpful staff. Would definitely recommend!!

Nothing

The best part of the stay was the hospitality of Ishmail. He was so welcoming and helpful. Great conversation and recommendations. A great way to experience Marrakech

It really is located at the heart of old town Marrakech, at a stone's throw from Jemaa el Fna. The building is gorgeous and the staff is extremely helful. We are very grateful to them, since there was a problem with our reservation which was my fault and they very graciously solved it. The breakfast is exquisite. And the transfer to the airport is free (one way).

Nothing.

As with most Riads, this gem is stuck down an unassuming back alley, but what a place this is. Only 5 rooms so it feels intimate, and Ismail the host could not be a better example of how to really run a place properly. He really couldn’t do enough for you and is extremely kind and funny. The Riad is in the perfect location, seconds from some great restaurants and less than a 10 min stroll to the Market. That alone would bring me back, but Ismail was the icing on the cake. Don’t miss this place, you won’t regret it.

Ismail the host is simply the best

Our stay in riad 58 blu was magical! Ismail was our best friend during our trip, he helped us with everything that we needed, all of the staff were exceptional and felt like friends. If we ever come back to Marrakech, this is the place we will be staying at.

Excellent location. The room and the courtyard of the road are spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated; the courtyard feels like a small palace, so peaceful even though it’s right in the heart of Marrakesh. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our stay was everything we wanted and more; Ismail was an incredibly friendly and attentive host and we cannot thank him enough for making our stay so enjoyable

There was a damp smell in the bathroom due to a lack of an extractor fan but there is a small window in the bathroom to help

The property was comfortable and we really felt like home. The highlight of our stay was breakfast on the rooftop and visiting the tortoise who lives there! The staff here was excellent and provided some of the best service I've ever experienced. I hope to return one day!

EVERYTHING..😁😁 HIGHLY recommended.. 😁😁 Would 💯 stay again..😁😁

No full length mirror in the room.

Youssef & Ismael were so kind and helpful, the riad was beautiful and the location close to every corner of the city.

Not the best riad if you’re a light sleeper, though. You can overhear conversations in the patio and the door can only be opened by ringing a doorbell - which you hear throughout the entire riad.

Our first time in Morocco. Everything was great. The staff, Ismael and Yussuf, were very friendly and help you with everything. The riad is clean, with beautiful decoration. Also very quiet. One day we will return. Thanks for everything.

Nothing.

Everyone was super kind and nice. I liked the breakfast.

Is located in a small corner but its ok if you don’t come late

I would say that for me everything was great in Riad 58 Blue. Friendly and helpful host, property is good looking and clean, well located. After walking in Medina or teking a tour to Atlas mountains one could cool down in small pool. Breakfast was good and with a longer stay an airport transfer is included (check it before), which is very convenient. So...I would suggest this place.

Wir hatten einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt im Riad 58 Blu. Einen herzlichen Dank an Ismail. Er hat den Transfer vom und zum Flughafen organisiert, einen Tisch im Restaurent reserviert und uns wertvolle Tipps zu Marrakesch gegeben. Das Deluxe-Zimmer im Erdgeschoss eine wirkliche Empfehlung, wunderbar eingerichtet und absolut sauber. Auch die Lage ist perfekt, ein paare kurze Wege durch die Gassen und schon ist man im Zentrum der Altstadt. Das Frühstück auf der Terrasse war jeden Morgen frisch zubereitet und ein herrlicher Start in den Tag. Liebe Grüße ins Riad 58 Blu!

It was great! Pool needs cleaning.

Great welcome from the team at Riad 58. Well located. Plentiful local breakfast, endless mint tea at any time. Helpful and swift communications. Thank you.

Large double bed would have been good. Pool more of an ornamental feature rather than functional pool.

The staff were fantastic, really went the extra mile

A little noisy but not the fault of the accommodation more other guests. The rooms were not sound proof due to the style. Also advertised a swimming pool but more of an ornamental pond.

Very nice staff rooms clean and comfortable

Drain smell sometimes

A little jewel in the core of the medina. Paolo has been a great host and Ismail a good manager. We have been like at home. Very clean and cozy rooms. Good breakfast.

Extremely friendly and helpful in everything. Nothing too much trouble, ask and you will get... except for when they ran out of beer and white wine. The riad very close to everything for walking to the square, souks, palace etc. Our downside was the noise, we were on ground floor, a lovely room, but heard every noise from people above us as the floors are tiled you can hear everything and in the other rooms because it echoes everywhere. You wait for the final lock on the main front door so we knew everyone was back.! Then, the mosquito comes back!! It was usually about after 3pm we got to sleep, then woken up by the cleaners about 7.30. 😕 There is the Lovely sun terrace, and a terrace for eating or a bit of chill time with a beer or wine. The front door was just round the corner from us so heard all the comings and goings even very late at night and early morning for people going to hot air balloon flights, we had a mosquito in our room which was annoying, most nights didn't get to sleep till after 2pm. Breakfast was boring and the same each time..too much bread for us. The cat bit my hand at breakfast! wouldn't leave us alone. Felt exhausted after our 4 night break and just wanted to get back to my own bed.

Location of riad was perfect, central medina in short walking distance to main attractions. Smiley, as he requested to be named, was an exceptional host. Nothing was too much trouble. As an example, Smiley insisted we were served breakfast at 630am on our last day before he escorted us to our complimentary cab to the airport. The room was spacious and comfortable and the bathroom very smart with nice little finishing touches of toiletries. We wanted to ship the superking mattress home with us! We wouldn't hesitate to rebook if back in Marrakech.

This a beautiful Riad! Full of character, excellent breakfast, good wifi, and most importantly genuine and attentive service. Recommended.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast was good. Recommendation for Pepe Nero was brilliant, amazing restaurant.

Big gap in old wooden doors, didn’t feel very private. A tradesperson fixing air conditioning had been smoking in the room.

This is a gorgeous Riad within a few minutes of the busy streets of the medina, and at the same time secluded enough to be quiet and peaceful. The property is very stylish, clean and also modern and traditional at the same time. Our host, Ismail, was a delight. He has this dynamic and friendly energy that makes you smile. We definitely recommend this hotel.

It was an authentic Riad guesthouse in an authentic neighbourhood. The staff Ismail and Yousif were both superb in the way they handled my needs over 7 days of my stay at the Riad. The backroom staff were also great in keeping the place clean, preparing breakfast and general housekeeping.

There was nothing that was objectionable.

We had a very pleasant stay at the Riad 58 blu for the new year. Ismael was extremely kind and made our stay the perfect experience. The riad itself is beautiful and super well located. We totally recommend :)
