Great location. It feels a bit tricky to find the riad for the first time but there are signs at every corner so you know which way to go.
There was a roach in the room. When we notified the staff he did not seem to be bothered by it. He did check the room and told us it went away. I asked if they had a bug spray or something and he said no. The bed linen was damp even on the first night. The manager was friendly but all he seemed to care was what he wants. He didn’t answer most of our questions and kept asking what he wanted, eg city tax payment albeit he initially said it’s ok to pay at the check out.

A lovely place, contrarily to popular belief, it is not at all difficult to find, because there are signs directing you once you enter the small alleyways from the main road. The beds were comfortable, the AC worked well (which is a must in summer!) and the pool was a life-saver, it was lovely to have a place to cool down. The staff were very kind and they communicate well in English as well as in French. They have a 0-24 reception and it was no problem for them that we arrived quite late in the evening and left very early on our last day. The decor of the place was tasteful and the breakfast, which we decided to have on the rooftop, was delicious and filling, a good start for our days spent in Marrakech. The wi-fi worked fine. They cleaned our room every day, the overall cleanliness of the place was quite impressive. They changed our towels every other day. There weren't a lot of guests, I imagine most tourists try to avoid coming here in august, but at least this way the riad was very quiet and peaceful. Since the rooms are not exactly well isolated, with the traditional wooden doors and little windows all opening to the inner courtyard, the place probably gets rather busy if all the rooms are taken. If you come to Marrakech, I highly recommend staying in this riad for a more authentic experience: much better than a hotel outside the old town!
I was sad that the breakfast could not be served before 8am, so on days when we booked day-trips with an early pickup, we had to skip the meal. (Understandable though, I think it depends on when the nearest bakery opens.) The shower sink got a bit clogged after a few days of use: it's nothing you can't live with, but slightly annoying. However, even if it's renovated and proper, this is not a modern building, so such things are to be expected. If you travel during the summer like us (which I don't recommend by the way, I think Morocco must be much nicer and significantly less hot during springtime or autumn), expect the walls of the building to heat up so much during the day that they'll still be warm when you get back to your room in the evening: that's not too pleasant when you have your bed directly by the wall. Also, the room we stayed in was rather small, so we didn't really have much space to store our luggage, no wardrobe, no cupboard, only one coat hanger. Mind you, we travelled very lightly, with only two cabin-sized bags, so if you have a large suitcase, the room is going to feel even smaller. A small refrigerator in the room would have been nice so we could have kept some cold water there, but of course then the room would be even less spacious. But again, we are talking about a traditional riad, I think every accomodation in the old town is similar in this aspect. So, these things are all to be expected if you choose a riad instead of a hotel with european levels of comfort, so I'm not really complaining.

What an amazing stay we had at Riad des Etoiles! A little oasis in the middle of the chaos of Marrakesh, very calm and relaxing. The pool was very welcome when we felt like cooling down after a long day out in the city (be aware it's pretty cold!). The hosts always here to help and have a little chat. We were welcomed with a mint tea and cookies. The breakfast is excellent and definitely worth the price. The riad is super clean and the pool too. Thank you guys for everything!

Host was excellent. Good breakfast to start the day.
For the great value cost of the accommodation, would not complain about anything inside. A bit difficult to locate when dropped off by taxi in the main street/road.

Excellent stay. From Mohammed who proved to be an outstanding host, meeting us from the airport transfer which he had arranged. He served us with mint tea and pastries before showing us to our room. He was helpful and full of information and guidance. He provide information regarding local restaurants in the locale. The room was above expectations and very comfortable. Once we had got our bearings the location is excellent and close to the Medina and other attractions, and shopping in the numerous souks. Breakfast on the rooftop was a great start to the day and is great value for money. While we didn't use the pool it looked very inviting and would be very refreshing during the summer heat.
Nothing really.

We really enjoyed our stay, the staff was very kind and nice, the rooms and the whole riad was very clean. The location is great too, it's in a quiet area, not too crowded, but it's still easy to explore the Medina on foot. Breakfast is not included in the price of the reservation, but is worth the extra. The pool is crystal clear and continuously maintained.

We loved our stay at Riad des Etoiles. Muhammed was very welcoming, friendly and helpful. Great area to stay in too, just round the corner from Place des Fermentias and Mellah Spice Market.

from the minute we arrived, Mohammad was amazing, such a nice guy.guy. when we arrived we were treated to a complimentary traditional Moroccan mint tea with some biscuits and afterwards we were shown to our room, the riad was really clean, loved the pool in the courtyard and the breakfast each morning on the rooftop was good value for money at €4 per person, there was always plenty of food. the riad is really quiet and is very close to lots of tourist attractions. there are shops nearby where you can buy water and other things should you need them.
nothing comes to mind, I can't say anything bad about this place
