Riad Fleur d'Orient

We had such a perfect stay at Riad Fleur d’Orient. Let’s start with the Riad itself : beautiful ! It spreads onto 4 floors. 1st floor with the reception, a lounge area and the courtyard with the pool. Gorgeous decoration, the outside was lush. There are lovely flower and citrus trees in the yard around the pool, plenty of outdoors seating spaces, books and games are available if you wish to occupy yourself and there’s fresh flowers everyday on each outdoor table. I believe there are also some bedrooms at this floor. On the 2nd one is where our bedroom was : Dar Rachida. To me, this is the best room and I’m so happy the staff helped me rebook a room as I originally booked another one by mistake. The bed is super comfortable, the room is large, clean and convenient. Lovely AC too for the night. The bed was made everyday by the lovely ladies working there and it was very pleasant to find it so inviting after a day of walking. The 3rd floor was huge. This is the terrace space with different seating areas (a big lounge, some others tables and chairs, more sofas). We loved spending time there as it was so comfortable taking a nap, read, whatever you fancy. It’s well-decorated, spacious and cosy. The last floor is where you can find sun loungers to catch a tan. You can see the Koutoubia mosque from there and the famous Moroccan rooftops. The riad is well situated in the old part of the town, a short walk from all the souks and main touristic attractions. The riad is off the busy streets so it’s very peaceful. It doesn’t feel like other guests are in the way but quite the opposite - it felt as if the riad belonged to us. The breakfast was so tasty. Every morning is different but you will always have cake, Moroccan crepe, a pastry, fresh juice, fresh fruits, cheese, bread, tea and coffee. Everything was fresh and filling. The best part of the riad is the staff. I can’t thank enough Hiba, Hamza (mouzouh), the kind man taking care of us at breakfast (sorry I forgot how to spell your name!), Said and all the ladies cleaning and making food. Everyone was ready to help us with anything we needed, good advice from them, always a nice smile on their faces. We are so lucky to have had such kind hearted people to be around. They all made our stay memorable and I can’t emphasise enough how professional and friendly they were. I wish I never had to leave. Merci tout le monde, de Charlotte et Peter

A quiet oasis. Beautifully kept with very friendly and helpful staff who made us feel very welcome. A quiet oasis only a short walk from the hustle and bustle. Great roof top terrace where a breakfast is served. And a very good breakfast it is. Would not hesitate to recommend it to family and friends.
