The Riad Ayanida is an exceptionally beautiful place, very clean with extremely friendly staff. The owner herself is at the Riad everyday, engages with her guests and pays close attention to their individual needs and wishes. All in all we were very happy. With the Riad located at the border of the Medina it marks the perfect location. Easily reachable for Taxis but still a doorstep to the heart of the city. The food was delicious, we've decided to spend most of our dinners at the Riad as it was during Ramadan and most restaurants were closed and the streets rather empty. They serve a different three course menu every day. The breakfast is also phenomenal and different every day too. They even have an alcohol licence. We loved our stay here. The spa is operated by contractors and very convenient. Definitely worth a visit, we booked the 60min couples massage and were very satisfied. We'll definitely come back next time we're in Marrakech.

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.

We received a beautiful welcome from Christine and team. As we were arriving in the evening we had booked dinner and oh my what an introduction to Moroccan cuisine.. beautiful meal. Breakfast was a highlight of our trip too. Rooms were very clean, extremely comfortable and felt very authentic. The staff were all so lovely and helpful. The night porters deserve a special mention. They were always on hand to help when we returned to the Riad in the evening and the first smiles we saw every morning. Roof terrace is lovely to come back to to soak up some rays after a day of touring and adventures. I really enjoyed a massage in the Spa too.

Riad Ayadina is a walk from the souks and main square BUT we love walking. We loved walking thru the medina and watching the locals shopping, going to work and school or cooking or eating street food. Christine gave us very helpful tips to find our way and we had the hang of it by the end of the first day. Don’t wear earphones and stay into the right to avoid the motorbikes and tuk tuks. If walking is not your thing you can taxi it as this Riad is right beside a gate entrance to the medina and has a big car park for taxi pickup or drop off.

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.

Breakfast was very good with a range of options on the beautiful setting of the rooftop. Location was great as it was right near the gate which was good for taxi pickups and the riad’s hammam was an added bonus. Staff were friendly and helpful. Lots of nice touches like Christine making an effort to talk to us everyday and the welcome drink and biscuits.

It would have been nice to have bottled water every day not just for the first day. I don’t think the welcome folder informed about the air-conditioning. As the controls were up high and not noticeable it looked like the room didn’t have it.

We would thoroughly recommend Riad Ayadina. Christina is a proper host, on site everyday, making a point of speaking with all her guests, giving help and advice and making sure they have everything they need. Her team of staff are exceptional, extremely warm, friendly and welcoming whilst remaining professional and respectful of your space. The Riad is beautiful, with a relaxed, peaceful vibe and the food is excellent. Though it is at the north end of the medina, it is only a 15 min walk to the start io the main souks area and Christina has helpfully arranged for blue ‘A’ arrows to be placed clearly along the winding streets up to this point, then you’re on your own! We loved staying in this beautiful little Riad and will definitely be back.

The Riad is just beautiful. We were met by Christine who is the owner on arrival and we were led to the restaurant area while waiting for our rooms to be ready as we had arrived early. Mint tea and beautiful pastries were offered while we waited. We all stayed in Junior Suites. All are individual and so comfortable. The Riad is comfortable with lots of little areas to sit and relax in on the Terrace and inside. Breakfasts are lovely and plentiful with great service. Eating on the rooftop terrace at the start of the day is great. The pool is small but provides a great place to cool off after a morning exploring. The staff at all times are friendly, attentive and helpful. We ate in all but one evening and the menu is varied, well cooked and regional. Look out for the resident cat Rambo who will seek you out and is super friendly , and the little House Bunting birds who will make their presence known with their lovely chirping!

Nothing- we were a group of 7 and all had a great time. I would add that you need a reasonable level of mobility to access rooms and terrace as there is no lift, and stairs lead to all the bedrooms. We were all fine, but I felt it should be mentioned.

The riad was very nice and an effort was made by staff to make us welcome. There was a lovely fireplace and the dining tables were set around the courtyard which was nice. The rooftop was lovely too but the weather wasn;t good enough to get much use. The suite was big and felt luxurious. The bathroom and it's products were great. I liked the security of the door being locked and having to ring the bell. The riad was near a gate which we used for taxi pick up and drop offs however it is worth noting that it's at the quieter end of the medina so a bit of a walk back in the evenings. We always took a taxi back. The breakfast was nice and varied a little every day which was great. Dinner on our first night was very good but not so good on our last night (Wednesday).

The pillows weren't very comfortable. There was a bit of noise from people sitting around chatting in the inner courtyard at night. It was Ramadan so we were advised staff might not be around during sunset. This was fair enough but at other times it was hard to find staff to help with basic things like call a taxi. Also we had a lovely Hamamm but we weren't advised when booking that the therapists needed separate payment by cash, so we felt bad that we couldn't pay them on the day.
