We stayed 3 nights and our experience was great: Their staff are very welcoming and they made us feel like at home; they helped us reserving taxis and choosing what to visit in Marrakech; the place and the rooms are clean and peaceful; they have a cozy swimming pool very refreshing on the summer. We reserved the hamman gommage and massage and we recommend it. Their dinner is great: cheaper and better compared to the prices at the medina.

Just a minor thought, the windows and door from the rooms could be renovated to improve their isolation against the heat from outside and noise.

When I saw Riyad Anya pop up on my Instagram I knew I had to travel to Morocco and stay there. The videos and photos looked gorgeous. Upon arrival, I was taken aback by the stunning architecture, aroma and the hospitality from the staff. The pool, hanging Moroccan lights and plants made the Riyad magical. Our room had several Moroccan lights cubbies to store all of our things and the shower gel is a must try. Our host there was Mustafa. Not enough can be said about the service, care, punctuality and genuine service he provided Our other host, Walid, serenaded us with a guitar and live music nightly. The conversation, and laughter we shared truly made our trip to Morocco memorable. We had a mouth watering, savory, delicious meal, chicken taginr at the Riyad. In my opinion it was the best chicken tagine I had while in Morocco. Shout out to the chef ! Other than our dinner, the spreads for breakfast were phenomenal. We had multiple types of bread, jams and the Moroccan tea was a must at every meal. We also had a massage and hamam experience. I fell asleep while getting my massage. It was great ! The last time I was bathed, scrubbed from head to toe and had my hair washed like that was when I was 4 years old and my mother did it ! It was an experience I’ll never forget. If you stay at Riyad Anya you will be pleased with the kindness and service they provide. Mohammed guided us on which places we should visit, semo was my contact on booking.com, he worked with us closely to schedule our massages and dinner, walid sang to us and mustafa was our nurse when my friend scraped her elbow, he was our server, guide, and great friend. We were always told that this isn’t your hotel, it’s your home so always come back.

Such a special place. The moment we entered Riad Anya we stepped into beautiful & tranquil space. The staff here is what really makes Anya top notch. They attended to every need & answered any question from arraigning taxi services to showing us the best location for money exchange. Our room was spacious, clean, beautifully decorated, & overlooked the main courtyard. The staff will ask if you plan to dine with them breakfast or dinner) everyday because they prepare everything fresh & will shop for groceries daily from the souk. We ate here serval nights and it was always a new dish & delicious. We utilized the hammam & massage service & were not disappointed. It felt great after a hot day trekking around the city. The rooftop was perfect for relaxing and picturesque sunsets. Good WiFi for those who need it. Located inside the Medina, Anya was walking distance to the Saadian Tombs, the Badi & Bahia Places. A further walk to Jemaa El Fna Square but we used covered path that housed an assortment of shops on Rue Riad Zitoun el Kdim. A big thank you to Mustafa, Khalid, Mohammad, & all the rest of the guys. Riad Anya is a beautiful oasis & refreshing retreat from the busy city & summer heat, you will not be disappointed with your stay here.

Very helpful staff.Cant thank them enough for helping us during a crisis. Ask them anything and they will give you good advice on places and best time to visit, where to get best rate for currency exchange and liaising with our tour operator etc. This Riad is located near a Royal palace in the perimeter of the old city. Hence the alley is very safe with Royal guards on duty day and night. There is a hospital and a pharmacy nearby. Only walking distance to the old city and market.

Nothing much. May be a kettle and coffee /tea in rooms would have been better.

From the moment I arrived, the hospitality from all the staff was incredibly warm and welcoming. Everyone genuinely seemed happy to have me there, which made my stay feel extra special. The property itself is exactly what I envisioned—a charming boutique experience in a Moroccan-style villa. The complimentary breakfast was both traditional and satisfying, and the daily fresh fruit placed in my room was such a thoughtful touch. A heartfelt thank you to Khalid, who went above and beyond to assist with all my requests—always with a smile and never a “no.” His kindness and attentiveness truly made a difference. I’ll definitely be back for another stay

I can’t say anything.

Apart from the Riad being breathtakingly beautiful, clean and traditional, the staff goes above and beyond to make you feel at home. When I say above and beyond, I really mean it. We came as a group of 7 (quite demanding) girls for my hen trip, and the team was so patient and acommodating. From taxi bookings (even when we were elsewhere going to other locations) to special requests for breakfast and even last minute dinners, they were fantastic. Shout out especially to Mustafa, Khalid and Simo, their hospitality was second to none. Nothing was too much of ask for them. The hammam and massage were great, so I would recommend the spa experience. The rooms were beautifully decorated, and the rooftop was stunning. We had breakfast there most days and it was like being in a movie! Also, what other travellers say about the food at the Riad is true! It was the best Moroccan food we had during our trip. I would recommend eating at the Riad at least 2 nights, and ask for beef and chicken tagine. Two different amazing dishes.

Nothing! 10/10

Love love loved it. This was our first time in Morocco and of course first time in Riad but from the start to finish we loved it here. Staff is super nice and friendly and they always made sure we feel like home. Welcomed by Mint tea and cookies and always smiling faces. Their hospitality is too notch and we loved the home cooked local Moroccan breakfast each morning, lovely spread of homemade breads, msemen, yogurt was so fresh and yumm, juice, tea coffee, cakes (we did not order eggs but you can get that as well) and you can enjoy breakfast by the pool in courtyard with birds around or on terrace. Absolutely heavenly. Entry to the riad is from a small alleyway so its best to get the taxi booked from the riad. From the pick up from airport to carrying our luggage to the main road staff is extremely helpful. When we were there it was 37 degrees in hot pot Martakesh and loved how amazing the Aircon was.. within 5 minutes our room was cool enough to survive the heat. Loved every bit and definitely staying here next time. Highly recommend you stay in riad at least foe few nights in Marrakesh. We stayed 2 nights here and 2 in a hotel in new city which was perfect for getting the taste of both the sides of Marrakesh. This riad is only 5 mins walk away from main taxi point as well and 2 mins to some small shops where you can buy as cheap as water bottles for 5 dirhams i.e. 50p for 1.5 litres water! Also, stunning sunsets from the rooftop!

Could only get 2 nights of availability wanted to stay for longer! My only suggestion would be to avoid peak summer if you wanna explore city as well. It gets intolerably hot!

Highly recommend staying here. It has everything you would want, Wi-Fi, beautiful beds and sheets, a rooftop Jacuzzi and courtyard pool, and it’s in the Medina close to the King’s Palace. What really makes it though is the sheer niceness and friendliness of the staff And the fact that they will do anything for you at any time. I took my baby and it was actually easier to have her there than in London. It is also incredibly peaceful – there is no sound of traffic, just a lovely soundtrack of birdsong especially wood pigeons.

Nothing

I recently stayed at Riad Anya in Marrakesh for three days in July with my two siblings, and it was an exceptional experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff’s friendliness and attentiveness made our stay truly memorable. They went above and beyond to ensure our comfort, addressing all our needs and questions with genuine warmth. The riad itself is a tranquil oasis amidst the bustling city, offering a much-needed respite from the intense heat. They provided ample water, which was a lifesaver in the sweltering temperatures, and the availability of chilled water at a better rate than local shops was a thoughtful touch. The highlight of our stay was the refreshing pool, perfect for cooling off throughout the day. We also indulged in massages at the riad on our first day, which was a relaxing way to kick off our visit. The common area was a fantastic spot to unwind; we enjoyed the air conditioning, played chess and checkers, socialized with other guests and staff, and even smoked hookah. Each morning, we were treated to a phenomenal breakfast that was consistently delicious. The riad's convenient location allowed us to explore many nearby attractions and local eateries on foot, making it easy to experience the vibrant city. Overall, Riad Anya provided a perfect blend of comfort, relaxation, and exceptional hospitality. The staff’s friendly and accommodating nature truly enhanced our stay. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a serene retreat in Marrakesh with easy access to the city’s sights.

I recommend this hotel immensely. I had such a wonderful time - it was a truly special experience. The riad is beautiful- stunningly decorated with so many beautiful spots to sit down, relax and have some tea. It‘s the perfect place for a break after long days in busy Marrakesh. It feels like you step into an oasis, away from the noise, dust and dirt. On the rooftop, you have a beautiful view and cute birds chirping away. I loved having breakfast up there (and was surprised to be the only guest at the time to have it on the rooftop). On the topic of breakfast- it is truly delicious and always freshly made for you. The orange marmalade with the crepe as well as the cheese omelette were my favourites. I had breakfast in other hotels when I continued my travels and it was never even close to as good as it was at Riad Anya & Spa. Dinner was also excellent - three courses (4 if you count the olives which are delicious). I had dinner at other nice places in Marrakesh which were all good but this dinner stood out. I think it‘s worth booking it for your first night - especially if you arrive late like I did. The staff is honestly the icing on the cake - it makes this hotel from a great hotel to an exceptional one. It is rare to find a hotel where every single member of staff makes you feel so welcome and is so cheerful and helpful. I don’t have the words to describe how special the service is at this hotel - it’s truly unmatched. Special shoutout to the Berber reception member who showed me around the hotel and made sure everything was great every day. He speaks German (and though he says he is not very good, I think he did so incredibly well). I recommend this place highly. I was so sad to leave and wished I could have stayed longer. If I go back to Marrakesh I will definitely book here again.
