Riad Les Ammonites

“A quiet and peaceful riad in the heart of the bustling medina”

We’ve just returned from a 4 night stay at Riad Les Ammonites and had a wonderful time. Marrakech is a loud, busy city and the riad was such a peaceful place to return to after a day of sightseeing. Our taxi dropped us off about a mile away, as the streets of the medina are too narrow for cars. We used Google Maps to walk the rest of the way and arrived at the riad a bit stressed and tired, having navigated the medina for the first time in the dark, but we were greeted by Ayoub who sat us down in the lovely courtyard with some mint tea and biscuits. Ayoub was our main point of contact during our stay and he was so kind and helpful. The room was bigger than we expected and the bed was very comfy. The bathroom was well equipped with shampoo, shower gel, body lotion and a hairdryer and there were lots of plug sockets around the room. Everything was spotless and thoroughly cleaned every day. The Wifi signal was weak in our room but we had Moroccan SIM cards with lots of data so this wasn’t an issue. Breakfast each morning in the courtyard was a nice way to start the day, there was a variety of breads and jams available, and omelettes and kiwi tarts were also served one day which were delicious. We didn’t eat our evening meals here but I wish that we had, as the menu looked really good! If I was going to return to Marrakech, I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

My husband and myself stayed at this Riad for 4 nights. On arrival we were greeted by Ayoub that bring us to the Riad he had shown us the facilities and even the empty room that was the biggest we fell in love in that room but unfortunately it was booked. Afterwards we were served by some Moroccan pastries and mint tea. It was a nice gesture and straight away I felt at ease in that place. Our first meal was dinner at the Riad it was vegetable salad that is so tasteful that we have to order them the following day, we were introduced to Our first Tagine and by far the best Tagine we had whilst we were in Marrakesh. We were served by Fahd and he spend time with us chatting and provide suggestions on how to get by in the city. Ayoub goes above and beyond by offering us to order some take away when we came late one night following a tour. Fahd offered us an alternative transport when our booked transport failed to respond on our calls. The ladies that keep our room clean and prepared our meal was friendly and always serve with a smile. Ayoub and Fahd always make us feel safe whenever we go out by offering to call them if we are having difficulties. Getting into the Riad it feels like you are in a labyrinth praying you make a right turn. It was well lit during the night. Be vigilant with motorbikes, tuktuk and bicycle you don’t want to be run by them Les Ammonites to sump up is a place that you feel relaxed and at peace. It was quiet and clean. Our room was big and we love how each room was decorated. Also it is well located about 15 minutes to the square. Alex & Donna

First impressions of Marrakesh was OMG! What have I done…. Arrived at 03:30 after a delayed flight and thankfully a lovely man from the Riad walked out to meet us. The alley ways and streets of the Old Medina were an experience! However once we stepped through that little wooden doorway we were in an oasis of tranquility. Our room was right next the plunge pool on the courtyard. Bed very comfortable and tasteful furnishings. Breakfast was an assortment of breads, yoghurt and the honey was delicious. 15min walk to the main square, through alleyways filled with moroccan merchandise and food. There are LOTS of cats, everywhere, however the locals are fond of them and feed regularly. No cars are permitted inside the Medina so beware the scooters whizzing by! Donkeys pulling carts heavily laden are the norm and the poor things are so thin. As are the horses pulling the carriages. No alcohol in Marrakesh unless you can find an up market restaurant outside of the medina. The Marrakesh trip was an unbelievable experience, Riad Les Ammonites was superb!
