    Our stay at this hotel was absolutely delightful, thanks to the amazing hospitality of Naimma. She went above and beyond to make us feel at home, treating us like family and ensuring we were always comfortable and happy. Even after we checked out, she reached out to check on us, which was such a thoughtful and heartwarming gesture. We highly recommend staying here when you visited Marrakech.

    It is a nice location with many hospitality. They arranged a taxi for us, that took to thr nearest street where we met her. Sightseeing, all major attractions available within 15-30 min. by foot. Naaima prepared a delicious brakfast with tea and coffee every day and dinner for us on the day of arrival (payed for it separately).

    Kasbah is probably not the most ideal district of Marrakesh to stay.

    Friendly host and quiet rooms - overall good value for the money. A bit problematic communication as the host only speaks french. Tipical moroccan breakfast, nothing fancy.

    Naaima was very sweet and welcoming. The location was great. I was nervous about the noise at night but it was a very quiet street.

    The place is cozy and super calm, and there is a nice terrace on top of the house, is also very clean and the beds are comfortable. The price is great for the value, and the rooms are super clean. The location is also great—next to the city center but without all the busy streets that are in it. Without Naaima, the stay would have been much worse. She is one of the best hosts I have ever had, and without any doubt, I would recommend her again. She genuinely wanted to help us in every possible way without asking for anything in return. She is a great cook as well.

    cozy riad close to the center

    You need to park your car about 800 m from the riad and walk with your luggage. Finding it in the maze of narrow streets is quite difficult. The bedrooms are small and 1 of the 3 rooms has very uncomfortable beds (but there were only four of us so we just changed rooms).

    Naaima was very nice and hospitable. She prepared a good dinner and breakfast for us. The Riad is close to the city center (about 10-15 minutes walk) and is well decorated.

    Shower needs a little more power.

    The tranquility and cleanliness of the property was flawless. The location was bang on the hassle and bustle, but once you were in the Ryad it was placid. It was spacious and traditional. Loved it. Naaima as a host was very warm and she cooked us a traditional Targin which was like no other. The presentation of the food was exceptional.

    Without a doubt the best Riad in Marrakech

    Nothing really, although booking.com doesn't make it super clear about the 50% payment in advance being done directly to the hosts. Obviously not the fault of the property, and is the same in many other places.

    We visited for just 1 night on our way back from the Atlas Mountains. The hosts (a couple) were very welcoming and the property was very spacious. It was very clean and had a lovely roof terrace. Compared to other riads we have stayed at the price is so cheap! The value for money was many times better than anywhere else around. The riad was located close to the centre of Marrakech, right on the edge of the medina (very easy to get taxis etc to airport/further away places). The couple made us dinner for a small extra cost and it was amazing! The breakfast was also very good. They also were there to help us with anything we needed and even gave some first aid for some blisters we picked up. They communicated with us well in advance of the booking in case we needed anything else. If I ever visit Marrakech again or know anyone visiting, I only have 1 place to recommend and it's here

    Great location in the quiet area of Kasbah. The Ryad was very clean and quiet. The hosts were welcoming and served us tea and snacks on the terrace when we arrived. We also had a lovely dinner on the first night prepared on request. The WiFi was really good and the rooms were comfortable. Overall my friends and I had a great stay. I definitely recommend.

    the place is not close to the main Street so it requires a bit of walking and there is no way of getting near it by car. there were plenty of people on the street who helped us with our luggage and parking our car for a small tip.

    Mohamed and Nahima are the most kind people who run this Ryad. Nahima cooked a dinner for us on one of the evenings and it was one of the best Moroccan meals we had. both Mohammed and Nahima gave us a lot of tips about Marrakesh and our onward drive. the place is quiet and calm. far away from the buzz of Marrakesh streets.

    nothing, everything was just perfect

    This Ryad is just fantastic, the pictures don’t make it justice. It is located within the Medina but quite in the outskirts making the location very peaceful and quiet yet within walking distance from all the main sights. The owners are lovely, they booked us a taxi from the airport and printed out our boarding passes for our return journey. We had the whole ryad for ourselves (we were a family of 5 with young children). Lovely breakfast was served every morning and our host cooked us one of the best tagines we had in Marrakech for dinner on our first night. We would highly recommend this place!

    There is a neighbour's rooster that woke us up several times but it did not wake the baby and we got used to it but it was annoying at first. The breakfast could do with more variety as it was very bread and carb heavy but it was tasty. Eggs/oats etc would have been nice too.

    The hosts, Mohamed and Naaima were very friendly and accommodating. They recommended where to buy food so we did our own research based on those areas and we were not dissapointed. The rooms were great (no windows so it stays cooler and less noise), there is also a roof terrace. The WiFi worked well too. Ryad Ayad was clean and served it's purpose well. We even asked Naaima to cook dinner at a set price and it was great local food at a fairly reasonable price. Bottled water was provided to drink and to brush teeth.

    the hosts were at times not very welcoming and patient , especially towards our kids. The breakfast was average, not very healthy, we wished there were more fruits and veggies and less sugar. The ryad is quiet a dark place, no windows, always electric twilight - you can only see the sky and the street from the rooftop terrace . The place was for our family only, however the hosts are always inside , sharing all common space so you only have privacy in the bedrooms, which are quite small for anything except to sleep.

    the place is very stylish, clean, great terrace, location is very good - a quite place inside medina. Tajine was good.

    Misleading Details of the Property with Poor Customer Service

    • Submitted from a mobile device

    Booking.com mentions that the property has air-conditioning. Forget air-conditioning. The property doesn't even have a fan. Imagine, we had to stay without AC and fan in 35 degrees Celsius. The woman can not speak English, and you feel so helpless as you can not communicate with her any issues that you experience. She told us she can't arrange a fan for us and we can leave the property if we aren't happy. The breakfast is disappointing with no eggs or hot breakfast options. All you get is dips with bread and pastry. The woman is extremely commanding and will keep an eye on what you're doing in the room. It's like staying in an airbnb with someone watching you all the time. There are no locks in the door and no door in the washroom. There are few curtains that are easily see-through. We literally had no privacy. Two rooms except the middle one are extremely small. You'll hurt yourself when going out or coming in. The window opens on your bed, and the door touches your bed. The reviews are misleading. The only good thing about this riad is cleanliness. That's it. Also, she expects payment in Euros and will convert the dirham to euros in higher exchange rate as compared to the ones in the market. She refused to take money at the market rate. I'm totally disappointed.

    The best thing about this Riad is that it is impeccably clean. That's it. Please do not expect anything else.
