Riad Aventurine

The riad was lovely and the rooms super comfy and clean! Service were super kind!

Beautiful kept, extremely pretty, Safia met us just down the street when we arrived, gave us great information & directions, there for every request. Beautiful breakfast, beautiful room in keeping with Medina style & huge bed, perfectly landscaped property

Nothing

Beautiful riad with amazing staff. From the start, I was overwhelmed by how much attention and care was given to receiving us. We were served mint tea and given information about the medina, where to go, what to avoid etc. The room was very spacious, clean and had everything that was needed. The room was cleaned every day and the bath towels changed. There is a hairdryer and shampoo and shower gel. No request was too much, our hosts were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was balanced, consisting of coffee, honey yoghurt, pancakes, bread with several jams and a portion of fruit. Had an amazing time here and I would surely come back.

We found 2 cockroaches in the bathroom. They were struggling to stay alive, so obviously, there is pest control being applied. We're in the heart of the medina, so this is not unexpected and really not a problem. You will have bees joining you for breakfast. They are after the honey, so just ignore them, and everything will be fine.

An oasis in the middle of the chaotic Medina - relaxed Riad with beautiful traditional decor, many relaxing books and rooms and an amazing roof garden - and so quiet! Very friendly staff - will return

Loved the Riad. Very helpful staff

The traditional breakfast was lovely. The riad was very central and the hosts were very friendly and helpful.

Just as pictured. Riad had all the charm I was looking for in my first experience in Marrakech. You cannot get here without some walking through narrow alleyways (minimum 5 minutes from taxi drop off), however, so it’s not the right fit for everyone. We had the 2 bedroom suite which was great for our family of 5. One room had a large bed and twin with a small courtyard to sit out on. The other room had two twin beds. They were connected by a living room with a bathroom off to the side. Living quarters required maybe a dozen stairs? AC worked great. Very clean. Maids came every day with fresh towels and to clean up. No television, which was just fine for us. Beautiful rooftop space for us to relax on and several corners throughout the main courtyard to read/relax. The real shining star of the Riad was the night staff, Soufaine. He was always available, friendly, and helpful. He especially helped us out of a bind and found us a new driver on the day we left when the taxi driver we booked independently wasn’t communicating with us. He took time to explain the area to us and give us some recommendations. We are so thankful!

The one downside to this 2 bedroom suite room, is the stairwell up to your room has a large, open cutout window with the front lobby of the road on the other side. So… you can hear noise from down on the lobby of the hotel (less so when you’re in the bedroom with the door shut) and I was CERTAIN people could hear my kids when they were in our living room. On the noise front, when you use the “private” courtyard off the larger bedroom there is another room’s door (with shutters) that leads in to the same courtyard. They cannot open their door to the courtyard but can open the shutters for the view of your space (which was awkward to discover their faces first thing in the morning!). It’s also thin enough that you cannot enjoy the courtyard without worrying you’re disturbing the other room with your conversation. Other things to be aware of- WiFi goes in and out, pool is shallow and cold (we expected this) so don’t really plan on using it, of 4 showers my only warm one was the one I took at night, light breakfast is similar each day with 3 kinds of bread, a yogurt drink, a fruit, coffee, and delicious fresh orange juice (it’s only from 8-10 am; I wish it was offered a bit earlier for those of us catching morning tours), they no longer serve dinner upon request, and the mention of “late checkout of 2pm included in your stay” is inaccurate. You must be out by 11am during high season but you’re allowed to hang out in the common spaces and leave your luggage there until your flight which was very helpful. All that being said, I would still recommend this Riad to friends coming to the area. The list about of “don’t like” is more for those who like all the details as I do but it wouldn’t discourage me from staying here again.

It was a wonderful stay! The Riad is beautiful and the staff is amazing. An experience I highly recommend We will come back for sure!

Nice Riad and welcoming. Shower was cold after 2 minutes. Nice people and cute extra cubby room for my third kid!
