Lovely, spacious accommodation with colourful but comfortable decor. It feels like staying at a good friend’s place. Its an old building and the decor resembles that period but with a touch of luxury. Its in the Medina, just on the edge of it. The staff are great especially Couscous, he made our stay absolutely fantastic.

Being in the Medina was great but its too long a walk to the square especially in the heat, so prepare for a lot of taxi rides but they are not expensive and its a 2min walk to catch one. The food and drink is overpriced in the Riad but really good breakfast. Service is slow, which we overlooked because all the staff were just lovely and went out of their way to help us.

Breakfast was the best I’ve had in a hotel - fresh and varied everyday served on the lovely rooftop. Staff went above and beyond from the moment we arrived, a special shout-out to Noureddine a true gentlemen who is a credit to the place. As well as the lovely ladies, Couscous the night porter, even the gentleman responsible for rooftop upkeep who always made an effort to say hello - it is evident how hard they all work. The riad itself was beautiful, we loved our spacious room, but the attention to detail is consistent throughout - small touches like pool towels and sun hats were a great touch.

Although it didn’t bother us, bare in mind the location is the edge of the medina so there is noise - road / prayer time. Neither of which were offensive. It is great to get back to this almost hidden oasis after a busy day / night.

The staff of this riad went above and beyond to please us. Shout out to Nour-Eddine and the rest of the staff. I can't express how welcome they made us feel. The food was amazing. Very different from what we are used to, but so delicious. The room was spacious and very comfortable. The location was around 30 mins from the Medina but it is easy to find the way to it. There were helpful people everywhere who can guide you. Also, the staff in the riad provides a map for easier orientation. I would recommend this riad if you want to be close to Jamaa el Fna Square, but not too close to hear the noise of it. This riad is also close to a gate which makes it comfortable for excursion pick up and drop off.

We didn't like the owner of this riad as she was chasing a local cat with a small brunch of a tree when there were other alternative methods to get the cat out of her riad (which was her desire). Also, she was making us feel awkward by making statements based on her personal preferences such as: "Mediterranean people are the best" and when I complimented her staff she took all the credit saying: " This is because they have a good manager" e.i. herself. This is only my personal opinion but the staff were amazing without her intervention. They were performing perfectly even when she was not there. Also, this is not the right way to show off your personal skills. Another thing, the pool was often covered and it was not heated as advertised, and the jacuzzi was not available either.

We were met by the manager and ushered into a waiting area, and served mint tea, and cookies. While we waited, our luggage was taken upstairs. Breakfast was top-notch, we were served at our table on the rooftop. Our room was large, a sleeping area, a sitting area w/balcony, a separate section for private bath and another balcony. Although we disn't eat dinner there, I'm certain that it would have been up to the standard we encountered for everything else. Would definitely stay here again!

Location is at the northern end of the medina. Not the fault of the owners, just be aware that it is a long walk down to Jemma al fna (main square). OTOH, it is inexpensive to take a taxi or tuk-tuk to where you want to go. And a positive-- the entrance is 30 ft from a parking lot, so accessible by taxi.

The staff in Riad Ayadina were fantastic and very much the highlight of the Riad! They were incredibly helpful and friendly, and were very welcoming and patient - in organising day trips, advice on places to go, and arranging getting to the airport on time for a very early flight home. It is really clean and comfortable. The location is at the edge of the old town, so both the old and new town are accessible on foot - you just need to get used to finding your way through the windy streets - this is part of the fun!! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily recommend. Thank you شكرًا لك

I love I loved my stay in Riad Ayadina so much so that I barely moved outside of its walls. I really liked the different ambiances (with an antique and historical feel) in that one place. So many colors and restful sofas. Above all, the staff, Najade, Youri, Arda, Fatima, Souahed, and all the ones I forgot to mention because I don’t want to butcher their names, made me feel like I was at home. I am pregnant and really needed to feel cozy and taken care of. The food was delicious and home made, and I already miss eating my daily Tajine. Make sure to order your lunch during breakfast, and diner during lunch because everything is made from scratch and they work with freshly bought ingredients. I strongly recommend this riad. It was easy to find from the airport, right by a gate of the Medina, and it is a short 15min drive in taxi to get to the souk etc.

The only down side (which in the end was a positive thing) is that my beloved blue bedroom did not have the bathtubs I initially saw in the pictures because someone broke it. But like I said, I’m pregnant, so it was for the best in the end. Also there is a drought, so better take showers for the environment.

This Riad and staff are outstanding! from the moment we booked, their attention to detail and being of assistance was impeccable, arranging taxis and trips to the mountains - The staff made us feel like it was our home and couldn’t do enough! we loved the log fire, the roof terrace with pool and the food and wine on offer was first class. We will be back and would choose this accommodation over any other, especially the bland hotel chains (Hilton, Novotel etc…) - this hotel makes you feel safe and that you have an extended family in the colourful city of Marrakesh! thanks to Christine and the excellent team :)

nothing - it was perfect!

Lovely traditional and characterful riad with very pleasant staff and highly professional manager. Great location right by one of the gateways into the medina. Great taxi pick up service. Breakfast and dinner fine.

Although the Wifi was fine in the public areas, it was sub-standard in our suite. As we were staying there for 7 nights this did become a bit of a nuisance. Christine, the manager, was very helpful in trying to resolve this but it wasn't sorted before we left. The public areas were a bit chilly and although there was a lovely log fire in the evening, there was only room for two chairs near it and the same couple seemed to occupy these seats all evening, every evening!

The Riad was beautiful in every area. Breakfast and lunch were on the rooftop terrace. Dinner was served on the ground floor. The food for all meals was absolutely delicious. Our room was spacious, very clean and the bed was comfortable. Towels were replaced, beds made and room cleaned every day. All the staff were exceptional. they were so helpful, kind and pleasant always. I can't remember all of their names but all of them were lovely. There were two Nuris. One Nuri who worked the night shift who played guitar and sang beutifully. The other Nuri worked the day shift and was so helpful in every way, nothing was too much trouble for him. The spa was great as well. My husband and I had pedicures, hammam and massage. I would highly recommend them. A mother and daughter Zahira and Abala did them and again were marvellous. Christina was the manager and was also exceptional.

There was nothing that I didn't like. The only disadvantage for me was the shower was over a high bath and not walk in. There was a step up to get in to it. As I am a senior citizen a walk in shower would have been safer and more suitable for me. There are walk in showers in other rooms which I would recommend anyone in the older age bracket should request if booking Riad Ayadina.

Beautiful, authentic riad with 2 (or maybe 3?) courtyards, fantastic service, wonderful staff. Our stay was very relaxing, the room, the furniture, every little detail is really nice. There is heated pool on the rooftop terrace and the breakfast is also served there. Breakfast is both sweet and savoury and it is partially traditional. One morning we had to leave early for an excursion and we were served with a full breakfast on the rooftop still in the dark but in a very good mood, having a good chat with the staff, thank you Mahdi!

Only thing is the location we had mixed feelings about, because it's kind of far away from the center of the Medina, like 30 minutes walk. But on the other hand taxi can stop in like 1 minute from the entrance door, which is very convenient to and from the airport and if you are going on an excursion they can pick you up easily. Going to the main square it is 5 euros by taxi, don't pay more. It's again partially due to the location - being on the edge of the Medina, close to a main street - that we could hear the noise of the street but also several muezzins in parallel early in the morning.
