Riad & Spa Laurence Olivier

Positives: location away from souk so not busy or noisy. Riad is full of trees, birds and even tortoises like a mini oasis. Breakfast was lovely and traditional Moroccan dinner. People were lovely, accommodating and keep it clean. Suite YSL is on rooftop, have own garden and rooftop for views/sunbathing. Cash machine on same road and convenience store. Negatives: location means you have to walk to main areas. Situated where people work so u may hear noise in the day. No fridge in Suite, would be ideal for water/refreshments. Overall, lovely oasis with friendly service and not busy like hotels.

This was our 1st trip to this Riad but it won’t be the last. It was just amazing. Ali was so welcoming and gave us lots of tips to get around Marrakesh. Even though they don’t serve wine ( only beers ) Ali managed to rustle my wife and I a couple of glasses of white wine before dinner. The food was so fantastic, all home cooked. The walk into the main square took about 15 minutes and as ever in Morocco, it was an assault on the senses. We had no trouble finding or getting back to the Riad in one piece. Well done to all the staff.

Spent 7 nights in the Riad, which is a peaceful oasis in the madness of Marrakech. All the staff are lovely and so helpful . We ate out twice during our stay but the food was no better than the excellent meals provided nightly by Waffa . The roof terrace was great for evening drink watching the sunset.

This Riad was wonderful. On entering you entered an oasis or calm and tranquilty. Lovely rooms, very friendly and helpful staff. Wonderful garden setting for a superb breakfast and for eveing dinner if you booked in advance. Close enough to the centre for a short walk day or night. Would thoroughly recommend The friendly tortoises are great too!!

My daughter and me spent 7 nights in Riad Laurence Olivier this February and we had an absolutely amazing holiday! It was our first time in Marrakech and staff of the Riad made our holiday extra special. Everyone - Simone, Mohammed, Ali, Fatima were mega helpful and friendly, gave us a lot of recommendations, tips and tricks for our holiday, and were happy to help with anything and everything! The owner of the place Laurence is super friendly and often found talking to her guests ensuring everyone is having the best time! She even gave my daughter and me a very nice present for a Valentine's day! 🥰 The Riad itself is absolutely beautiful, every single detail is stunning, rooms, orange trees, swimming pool, resident tortoises, birds singing their beautiful songs. My daughter and me also had a pleasure to visit Riad's very own hamam and utterly enjoyed it! The Riad is also situated in the very convenient place in Medina, all main sights are in a walking distance - Bahia palace, Saadian tombs, Jenaa En Fna square, souks, Le Jardin Secret (10-15 minutes walk). Majorelle gardens are about 20 minutes away by car. Simone also helped us with a trip to Agafay desert which was a magical experience! Thank you so much everyone for our lovely stay, we are absolutely in love with Marrakech and Riad Laurence Olivier! ❤️

We choose to come & stay in Riad Laurence Olivier to celebrate my 60th birthday & 10th wedding Anniversary. We were greeted by Laurence herself. Wow ! She's so warm, charming & lovely & really wants you to have the best time. She was so kind & upgraded us to a suite which was fantastic ! We had the Yellow Room. Beautifully decorated with exquisite plaster work on the ceilings. We felt like royalty throughout our stay. Laurence was extremely helpful with what to see & do. She arranged a special dinner for me at the Riad to celebrate my birthday. It was an amazing celebration with fantastic food, music & a delicious cake. A perfect & memorable evening. Ali , Simeon & Muhammed were very attentive throughout the evening making sure I was happy & enjoying myself. I owe a huge thank you to them for making the evening so perfect ! A huge thank you to Laurence for arranging it all. She's the Best ! The food at the Riad was fantastic ! Fatima the cook made some delicious dishes like Chicken with Lemons & Olives. Courgettes in Lemon. We ate dinner here several times & each time the food & wine was fantastic. Thank you Fatima. We were attended to every evening & every morning by Muhammed, Ail & Simeon. The breakfasts was equally delightful. Freshly squeezed orange juice ,freshly made breads, fresh fruit salad & the best mint tea in Marrakech. Thank you Ali, Simeon & Muhammed. Our room was cleaned beautifully by Rabia every day. She was so warm & lovely & made our room smell gorgeous too. Thank you Rabia. The Riad itself was located 15 minutes away from the Souks. As soon as you approach it, you are faced by the most Beautiful Door & greeted by all the most kindest & friendliest of staff. It's an oasis of beauty & calmness inside. Each & every room is beautifully decorated with so much thought & style. I looked at all the various Riads near the Medina & chose this one after reading all the reviews. It exceeded all my expectations & more. A wonderful, beautiful, calm, romantic Riad with the Best Food, Amazing & Attentive Staff & not forgetting Laurence who is a very special beautiful person.
