Ryad Ayad

Friendly host and quiet rooms - overall good value for the money. A bit problematic communication as the host only speaks french. Tipical moroccan breakfast, nothing fancy.

Kasbah is probably not the most ideal district of Marrakesh to stay.

the place is very stylish, clean, great terrace, location is very good - a quite place inside medina. Tajine was good.

the hosts were at times not very welcoming and patient , especially towards our kids. The breakfast was average, not very healthy, we wished there were more fruits and veggies and less sugar. The ryad is quiet a dark place, no windows, always electric twilight - you can only see the sky and the street from the rooftop terrace . The place was for our family only, however the hosts are always inside , sharing all common space so you only have privacy in the bedrooms, which are quite small for anything except to sleep.

The best thing about this Riad is that it is impeccably clean. That's it. Please do not expect anything else.

Booking.com mentions that the property has air-conditioning. Forget air-conditioning. The property doesn't even have a fan. Imagine, we had to stay without AC and fan in 35 degrees Celsius. The woman can not speak English, and you feel so helpless as you can not communicate with her any issues that you experience. She told us she can't arrange a fan for us and we can leave the property if we aren't happy. The breakfast is disappointing with no eggs or hot breakfast options. All you get is dips with bread and pastry. The woman is extremely commanding and will keep an eye on what you're doing in the room. It's like staying in an airbnb with someone watching you all the time. There are no locks in the door and no door in the washroom. There are few curtains that are easily see-through. We literally had no privacy. Two rooms except the middle one are extremely small. You'll hurt yourself when going out or coming in. The window opens on your bed, and the door touches your bed. The reviews are misleading. The only good thing about this riad is cleanliness. That's it. Also, she expects payment in Euros and will convert the dirham to euros in higher exchange rate as compared to the ones in the market. She refused to take money at the market rate. I'm totally disappointed.

Naaima was very sweet and welcoming. The location was great. I was nervous about the noise at night but it was a very quiet street.

Nothing!

The place is cozy and super calm, and there is a nice terrace on top of the house, is also very clean and the beds are comfortable. The price is great for the value, and the rooms are super clean. The location is also great—next to the city center but without all the busy streets that are in it. Without Naaima, the stay would have been much worse. She is one of the best hosts I have ever had, and without any doubt, I would recommend her again. She genuinely wanted to help us in every possible way without asking for anything in return. She is a great cook as well.

Clean and welcoming

Hard beds

Naaima was very nice and hospitable. She prepared a good dinner and breakfast for us. The Riad is close to the city center (about 10-15 minutes walk) and is well decorated.

You need to park your car about 800 m from the riad and walk with your luggage. Finding it in the maze of narrow streets is quite difficult. The bedrooms are small and 1 of the 3 rooms has very uncomfortable beds (but there were only four of us so we just changed rooms).

The tranquility and cleanliness of the property was flawless. The location was bang on the hassle and bustle, but once you were in the Ryad it was placid. It was spacious and traditional. Loved it. Naaima as a host was very warm and she cooked us a traditional Targin which was like no other. The presentation of the food was exceptional.

Shower needs a little more power.
