Riad Ayadina & Spa

“Always a great choice”

I've been unplugging in Marrakech for 15 years... always at the Ayadina riad. It's no longer a vacation, it's a wonderful necessary survival. Experience and passion for their work, Christine and her staff will make your stay even more pleasant.

Riad Ayadina truly feels like an oasis amidst the daily hustle and bustle of the Medina. The layout and decoration of the building are stunning. From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. The staff is super friendly always ready to assist with any question. Delicious breakfast on the roof terrace and we dinned two nights at the Riad's restaurant and both service and food were fantastic. Many thanks to all the staff for the excellent treatment we received, with special mention to Noureddine & Abderrahim. Should we return to Marrakesh, we'll certainly opt to stay at Riad Ayadina again. Keep the good job up! Maria, little Antonio & Agustin

“Beautiful Riad on edge of Medina”

We stayed here for 5 nights in February, myself, my husband, two of my daughters and our 6 month old grandson. We had two rooms in different parts of the Riad, one overlooking the courtyard and one overlooking the road. The Riad is beautifully restored with all traditional features retained and has lovely antique furniture. Each room is unique. Ours had a big comfy wooden bed, and a black and white tiled bathroom, high ceiling, plenty of storage space. If you like old, traditional, historic buildings then this is the place for you. The hotel has a lovely small heated rooftop pool with sun loungers and tables for breakfast and lunch weather permitting. The hotel serves a delicious breakfast, different Moroccan specialties every day, fruit, yogurt cheese, meat etc. And the people working in the hotel are extra friendly and nice, the service is excellent. We ate our evening meal one night in the Riad and the food was very good. Before deciding whether or not this is the right place for you, there are a couple of things to bear in mind. Like all old buildings, there is no sound proofing, you can hear furniture being moved around on the roof and street noise was audible in our daughter’s room, you can hear people coming and going in the Riad etc. If you are very sensitive to noise you might be better off with a modern hotel in the new town. This Riad is at the northern tip of the Medina just inside the city wall by a car park, this has the advantage that it is easy to access road transportation. However, it is a 30 minute walk to the main square (more if you get lost, virtually certain even with Google maps!!) so you might want to use a taxi to get there, cost about £5. Walking in the Medina should be pleasant but isn’t because of all the motorbikes that come tearing round the corners. You can hire a guide but you will be directed to places where they will try to sell you stuff at high prices. There are not all that many places to eat close to the Riad, the nearest nice ones we found are 15 minutes or so walk away, I can recommend Limoni, but it does get busy. Notwithstanding the above, we had a lovely few days away, it was our grandsons first trip abroad and he loved splashing around in the pool, so overall recommend this hotel. Tip, bring insect repellent, the mosquitos were hungry!

“A wonderful week in sunny Marrakesh”

The Riad was very characterful with traditional Moroccan furnishings. The staff, particularly Nourredine, the head waiter , were all very friendly and helpful.

The Riad was very characterful with traditional Moroccan furnishings. The staff, particularly Nourredine, the head waiter , were all very friendly and helpful. The only negative was that the Riad was right on the northern tip of the Medina, about 30 min walk from the main square (or a 5 Euro taxi ride). We would thoroughly recommend this Riad to anyone wanting a quiet and peaceful oasis in bustling Marrakesh. Robert and Elaine
