Many Trip Advisor reviews drove my wife and I away from most of the ''5 star hotels'' in Marrakech, while 4 great reviews directed us, most thankfully, to Riad L' Aziza.
We can only be too gratefull to those 4 reviewers.
To make a long story short:
This Riad is a beautiful, quiet, exceptionally clean, greatly comfortable, well located, well maintained old Morrocan luxury house - and all these according to European standarts, and just 5 minutes walk away from the suks and Djma el' Fnaa square. The Riad's staff is very polite, on a sincere manner, and will make you feel at home.
If you think that all of the above are very common in the greater Marrakech area, then I would suggest you reconsider your destination!
We arrived in Marrakech airport at a very hot evening, with a delay. I would highly recomend asking for an airport pick up by the Riad (as we did), because it is difficult to find the Riad if you don't already know it. The hotel's manager, Paris born and raised Karima, came to pick us up, and being a naturally warm and kind character, gave us a great "welcome", along with the Riad's tour, and much advice about what to do in Marrakech and around.
We had booked the magnificent "Maharaja room", but as we prefered the, in a way, more private suite "L'Aziza", vacant at the time, Karima just let us have it, and gave us the discount (although we had booked the more expensive room, and therefore we didn't ask for the discount!).
By the way, I would suggest counting on the Riad's people for any kind of assistance and service, which come honest and hustle free (hustle free is a rare treasure in Marrakech)- you'll most probably end up paying less than in the "free (bargaining) market", anyway.
Touria, the soft and polite Morroccan houskeeper, cooked for us the absolutely best dinner we had in Morrocco. Fine ingredients, home cooking, greatly served, full menu (2 persons) for about 40-50 euros, including wine. We paid more elsewhere for dinners not nearly as great as this one.
Abdu, the nightkeeper of the Riad, was always there any late time to let us in (well, if he wasn't , this wouldn't have been a favorable review!), but also to bring us ice cold water to the room, even make us a late night coctail.
A positive plus for late risers is that the simple but quality and fulfilling breakfast is served anytime you wake up.
As a bottom line, I would highly recommend Riad L' Aziza to absolutely anyone - but especially to those who appreciate "homey" atmosphere, and also see travelling as a way to cutch the inner essence of a place.
