Riad Couleurs du Sud

The riad looks nice. Good breakfast, hot water, A/C in the room etc. However the service was not that great. It started with an incident and a lesson on arrival: the riad is close to Bab Yacout gate and after our driver left us we (four people) started walking following Google Maps (which helps a lot in the Medina, despite what some people might say). A youngster (early 20s?) asked me, very friendly, where I was from, if it was my first time in Marrakesh and where was my riad. Telling him that was a big mistake. Three other youngsters attached themselves to my party and followed as if to give directions, which I didn't need. I did pass the entrance by about 20 feet, my google maps showed me that and when I turned all four jumped with "helpful" directions. We arrived in front of the door surrounded by these four touts and I ringed the bell. It took 1-2 long minutes for the hostess to open and meanwhile one of the touts extracted 20 dinars ($2) for his "help". I thought this was way more than what he deserved. However all four became verbally extremely aggressive and after we entered the riad even more so. Well, the lady held the door wide open, allowing them to yell at me for a few minutes demanding $3-4 for each of them four! Threatening to call the police didn't help. Only after my strong insistence she closed the door. Was she on the side of the touts or what? Separately, I had to ask for blanket (my bed had none) and soap a few times before getting any.

Very good stay in the perfect location in Marrakech. Very happy

It is located quite far from the center of the old city. You might feel uncomfortable walking at night around the hotel area. The service was good and Hasan was very helpful.

Really a very special place to stay in. You are made to feel so welcome the moment you walk in the door, and nothing is too much trouble. I stayed in the Topaz room and I loved it: warm and restful colours, comfortable bed, elegantly tiled bathroom and plenty of storage space. Breakfast is the same every day but it's generous and tasty. Location-wise you're about 10 minutes walk form the Jardin Majorelle and about 25 minutes from the Koutoubia Mosque at the other end of the medina. Loved it here and would definitely return.

Riad Couleurs du Sud was a great place to stay with the only problem for us being that it is a bit far from all of the action on the Medina. The Riad itself was lovely, the room was comfortable, the staff were really helpful and friendly and breakfast was great. It is a bit of walk into the souks and squares and it's not the most pleasant walk either. There are plenty of taxis readily available at the end of the street, however, so as long as you're happy to take a taxi or walk it's perfect.
