Guest Reviews

• Tarek (10/5): - Excellent staff great location in old city with easy access to all activities and good restaurants.
• Linh (6/5): - Typical riad stay, clean, quiet and comfortable, amazing rooftop. The internet was really slow though.
• Laura (10/5): - Le Riad se situe au calme tout en étant en plein cœur de la vieille ville donc idéalement situé. Il est très reposant. Le personnel est très aimable et attentionné, un grand merci pour la flexibilité notamment au niveau des horaires de petit déjeuner. Cependant, lorsqu'il y a des personnes sur la terrasse, cela peut raisonner à l'intérieur du Riad au vu de l'architecture mais dans l'ensemble l'atmosphère est très calme. Notre réservation Expedia ne s'affichait pas dans les données du gérant, mais tout a bien été géré en fin de compte. Très professionnel. Je recommande ce Riad, merci !
• Mandy (10/5): - Beautifully traditional and very clean. Right in heart of medina yet very quiet. Staff were lovely yet unobtrusive. Nice breakfast. Very good value for money
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Welkom en attent! Prima kamers en een fantastisch ontbijt. Ideale ligging tov het centrum.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Me gusto mucho el chico que nos atendía que se llamaba SAT, muy amable y atento en todo momento. La chica de la cocina también era muy amable. El desayuno muy completo y por poner algún pero, el desayuno podría tener jamón york y queso, jamón con tomate. Pero en general todo muy bien.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Heel vriendelijk personeel, op het dakterras kun je liggen en in de jacuzzi. Het is een heel leuk kneuterige Riad. Ontbijt is super. Personeel wil alles wel voor je doen en loopt ook met je mee naar het plein als je iets niet kan vinden.
• Ilse (10/5): - The decoration of the rooms is very tasteful. The rooms are wide and comfortable. However, the cleaning was not proper, we found some fruit seeds that must’ve been left by the previous guests. Also, we had to wait to make the check in since the room was not ready.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Très bon emplacement. Personnel attentionné. Petit riad très agréable.
• Giada (10/5): - Personal muy amable y disponible, sitio limpio, buena posición.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Sehr schöner Innenhof, Dachterrasse auch für das Frühstück, sauber und ruhig; perfekte Lage in der Medina und 3 Minuten zum "Platz"; Freundlicher und unaufdringlicher Service
• Verified traveler (10/5): 居心地良いリヤド - フナ広場から割と近いので、地図が見れれば迷わないと思います。最終日、早朝のチェックアウトにも関わらず、朝食の準備をしてくれたり、タクシーの手配を気にかけてくれたり、サービスは良かったです。部屋も広くはないですが清潔感がありました。バストイレもキレイです。
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Absolutely wonderful - would definitely stay again. Abel was amazing and the whole experience wonderful.
• DSanchez (10/5): - Un lugar mágico dentro de la medina. Cuidan mucho el detalle. Desayunos buenísimos, decoración y comodidad de la habitación de 10! Me fui enamorada de ese rincón. Los trabajadores súper atentos en todo momento y nos ayudaron a reservar diferentes tours y excursiones(más baratos de lo que se ofrece desde España en las webs) Tienen servicio de taxi desde el aeropuerto a la plaza y una vez allí te recoge una persona que te acompaña y lleva tus maletas hasta el riad. Está a menos de 5 minutos caminando de la plaza Jemaa El Fna y junto al zoco. Aún así está en una calle poco concurrida y solitaria con algunos grupos de personas que te pueden generar algo de desconfianza. Pero fuimos un grupo de 3 chicas y no tuvimos problemas. Sin duda lo recomiendo!!
• Verified traveler (4/5): - Al centro della Medina caratteristico ma non è un hotel, e neanche una pensione, non esiste reception, ma solo un angusto bugigattolo con un pc portatile, i due ragazzi simpatici, colazione nella media, servita nel cortile dove i volatili rilasciano piume ed escrementi, la camera assegnatami, forse perché unica tripla, orribile muri scrostati con presenza di muffa e infiltrazioni assenza di armadi, comodini e quant'altro, foto del sito non rispondenti alla realtà siamo a MARRAKECH.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Geweldig! Aanrader! Super schoon, vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel, goede ligging in het centrum
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Séjour incroyable! Le personnel est accueillant et extrêmement gentil. Le personnel est toujours à notre service pour toutes nos demandes. Le riad est tel que sur les photos, tout est extrêmement propre. Encore merci pour ce séjour inoubliable!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - My friend and I had a lovely 4-day stay at Riad Lhena :) !! The place is clean, cozy, and literally only a few steps away from Fna square and from all Medina's touristic attractions. The staff is always attentive and willing to help you with a smile. The breakfast was really good (I loved your homemade crepes, thanks!)
• Verified traveler (2/5): - Nothing is good about this property. Beds were too small like the size of a baby cot (width wise). No hot water in the bath room. Breakfast was way below standard with too many flies around it which made it difficult to eat. Do not use their additional services for external matters like transportation. They will rip you off. They picked me from the close-by train station and charge me as if the picked up from the Airport (three times more).
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Das riad war sehr schön so wie wir uns das vorgestellt haben. Das personal war freundlich und zuvorkommend. Das frühstück wurde direkt an den tisch gebracht es war sehr lecker und ausreichend. Eine gute Lage hatte unser Riad auch. Es war gut das wir den Transfer über das riad gebucht haben ansonsten hätten wir es glaub ich nicht gefunden, weil das taxi nicht bis direkt zum riad fahren kann
• Rafael (10/5): Great experience - From the service to the food, it was a great experience. Great location, it was easy to get to the square and to walk in the medina. Great surprise!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Wir waren 5 Tage im Riad Lhena und waren rundum zufrieden! Unfassbar nettes, fürsorgliches Personal, tolles Frühstück und sehr sauber! Wir wurden jedes Mal mit einem herzlichen Lächeln begrüßt und immer wieder gefragt, ob wir etwas bräuchten. Super fürsorglich! Das Zimmer wurde jeden Tag geputzt und die Handtücher wurden jeden Tag gewechselt. Das Frühstück wurde nach Wunschzeit entweder unten oder oben auf der Terrasse, welche sehr gemütlich ist, serviert. Kann das Riad nur weiter empfehlen! 👏👌
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Sehr ruhiges Riad, zentral gelegen, schöne Dachterrasse, Poll war leider nicht mit Wasser gefüllt, gemütlicher Innenhof. Saubere Zimmer, hilfsbereites freundliches Personal und sehr leckeres großes Frühstück. Leider sehr hellhörig durch den Innenhof.
• Veronika (10/5): - Riad in the centre of Medina, calm inside, great rooftop terrace, very nice and helpful staff, clean and stylish room.
• Manuela (8/5): Come sentirsi a casa tua in Marocco - Bellissimo riad in una traversina della Medina Colazione buonissima e abbondante, personale gentilissimo e disponibile Unica pecca il wifi che non funziona molto bene In terrazza abbiamo preso il sole!
• Mónica (10/5): - Hotel muy bien ubicado para moverte andando por todas las zonas más turísticas de Marrakech. El personal muy amable y atento. Los desayunos muy completos. Volvería sin duda.
• Stef (8/5): - Prima Riad als een oase van rust midden in het hart van de medina. Verstopt in smalle en donkere steegjes die een gevoel van onveiligheid kunnen oproepen. Begeleide luchthaventransfer tegen betaling mogelijk. Continentaal ontbijt, goed verzorgd. Vriendelijke bediening. Net verzorgde maar gehorige kamers. Mooie groene binnenplaats en dakterras met bad, beschaduwde zithoek en zonnebedden. Toeristenbelasting veel te hoog.
• Veronique (10/5): Bijou caché dans la médina - Très bon accueil, personnel dévoué et très aidant. Le jour de notre départ, alors que nous devions partir très tôt, ils ont même accepté de devancer l’heure du petit-déjeuner pour nous. Le riad est bien caché dans la médina, mais il vaut la peine de le rechercher.
• Philippe (10/5): Top verblijf aanrader. - Goed ontvangen in de Riad. Mooie kamer op het gelijkvloers. Ondanks de drukte buiten zeer rustig.Prijs kwaliteit is een dit een topper. Verzorgd en smaakvol ontbijt, niet in buffetvorm maar met service aan tafel. Indien iets nodig is het personeel super behulpzaam en vriendelijk (merci Yassin & Abdel). Geen tv in de kamer maar uitstekende wifi. Redelijk makkelijk te vinden op wandelafstand van het grote plein Jma el Fnaa. Wij verbleven hier 6 nachten. Wanneer terug in Marrakech zullen we hier nog wel verblijven. Aanrader.
• Anne-Marie (10/5): - A lovely tranquil riad close to djeema el fna square. The staff were so helpful and friendly and the beds comfy. Would definitely return here if back in Marrakech
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Beautiful accommodations, friendly staff, walking distance to many points of interests, superb to 0l
• Ann (6/5): - This place is a nice property, but the staff, at least when we arrived, was not pleasant. No directions were provided ahead of time, and it’s in the Médina, in a place that is not easy to get to. As a result, we were hijacked by two ‘guides’ who proceeded to demand extra pay for their ‘work’ to get us there. The hotel staff allowed them to follow us into the building (!) and harass us. Totally unacceptable. I never saw the manager, who apparently doesn’t work on premises. Basically, it’s not about the service, so don’t expect any.
• Martina (10/5): - Abbiamo soggiornato in questa Riad per 4 giorni. Situata nelle vicinanze della piazza principale, ci siamo trovati molto bene! Il personale dell'hotel è gentilissimo, la colazione è deliziosa e la struttura è bella e confortevole. Era il nostro primo viaggio a Marrakech e l'ospitalità di questa Riad è stata parte di questa bellissima esperienza!
• Thorbjørn (8/5): You get what you pay for, and a litle more... - Realy nice, and fair price. The staff is kind and professionel. Easy communication with day and night staff. Its quiet, even on the terrace, and stil in the absolute center of Marrakech. Only drawback is the dark alleys leading in to the riad. I would imagine it would be a litle scarry to a single woman. You get your moneys woth at Lhena.
• Leon (10/5): - Schönes Riad, sehr Zentral in der Medina gelegen. Man muss zwar durch eine sehr Dunkle Gasse um zum Riad zu gelangen aber uns hat das nicht gestört.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Posto fantastico personale gentile e disponibile ad ogni richiesta .Luogo tranquillo vicino alla piazza .Colazione abbondante e buonissima .
• Justine (10/5): Super riad - Personnel agréable. Nous avons eu la possibilité de laisser nos bagages lors de notre arrivée très matinale et notre départ dans la soirée. A 10min a pied de la place jema el fna. Chambre en rdc pour 3 personnes avec une grande SDB.
• Yui (10/5): フナ広場近くで快適な宿 - 初めてのモロッコで宿までたどり着けるか不安でしたが、フナ広場でタクシーを降りて地図を見ながら問題なくたどり着けました。お部屋は清潔感があり、スタッフの方々が親切でとても過ごしやすかったです。リヤドならではの中庭での朝食がとても美味しかつたです。屋上テラスもステキでした。マラケシュをまた訪れることがあればぜひまたここを利用したいです。
• Favo (4/5): Typical Riad with shady location - The staff of the Riad is super nice and ready to help. Nevertheless, it is located in a street with difficult access and the Souk has to be passed to enter it. The street is specially shady at night time and I would recommend not to venture out late. I would highly encourage future guests to explore other nicer areas, this one in particular is not welcoming.
• Steve (4/5): TOILET NOT WORKING - The toilet did not flush and the basin was no properly fitted to the room's floor. Despite bringing this to the attention of the helpful staff it too 4 days to be moved to another Rihad.
• Valentina (10/5): - The staff were very friendly and cheerful. The road was very close to everything we required. Would definitely go back again to stay there
• Sue (8/5): Great location - The Riad is quiet but close to the main square. The alleyway to the front door was a bit disconcerting when we arrived but felt safe even at night. Twin room very clean if basic. Great decor and we were very grateful for the heating as it was very cold during our stay. Good breakfast of crepes and pastries. overall good value.
• Shules (6/5): Airport Transfer in a 30 year old taxi - We arranged transfer from the airport to the hotel a few days before our trip and having paid £14 pounds, we were picked up by a nice van. At the end of our trip, I booked our airport transfer the night before check-out by speaking to the night staff and was left in utter shock when, having paid £14 again, we were greeted by a taxi that was at least 30 years old and was literally falling apart. The hotel itself was lovely, however we were definitely scammed, especially since I could have found a safer and cheaper taxi in which I wouldn't fear for my life. Last, but not least I gave the night staff 400 dirhams for both the airport transfers and was charged 2.50 Euros per night per person for city tax (although in the confirmation e-mail it said 2.5 Dirhams) plus 50 dirhams for the city tax. He told me he'd get me my change of 50 dirhams from the shops and as he escorted us to the taxi we asked for our change and found out that he hadn't gone to the shops like he said. This was a very dissapointing end to a great trip and I would not recommend this hotel to ayone after this terrible experience.
• Richard (2/5): Terrible service - avoid! - 3 days before our Xmas eve arrival we were advised by email that the Riad was unable to fulfil our confirmed and paid for reservation. This first email offered an alternative without giving any details of this - in spite of our repeated emails in response to this, no reply was forthcoming. In the end only after several costly international phone calls did we get some attention and the promise that someone would meet us at the airport on our arrival. There is no excuse for such terrible customer service - the people of Origins group should be deeply ashamed and do not deserve your custom.
• Mike (10/5): A charming little 'Old World' oasis - A peaceful little Oasis full of old world charm - a real feel of Morocco with very friendly staff
• Rhonda (8/5): Comfortable and quiet - Although we could have done with better lighting, a full length mirror and a kettle, we had a comfortable few nights at Riad Lhena. Breakfast was a bit carb heavy but the staff were very friendly and helpful. Desk manned 24hr. Close to souks, about a 15 minute brisk walk to main road to get cabs. Charming rooms with plenty of power points.
• Oliver (10/5): Lovely Riad in great location - The Riad is in a good location and easy to find compared to others I've stayed at in Marrakech. The hotel was clean and well maintained and the manager very helpful after a long day. A great choice if you're staying in Marrakech
• Brian (8/5): Location, location, location - First time I have stayed in a Riad and it was brilliant. There is no TV so you fully switch off in the evenings and just relax in either the downstairs lobby or even better on the open air roof. The complementary WiFi signal was good and I was able to easily stay in contact with family/ friends and check my emails etc. The staff are friendly and will arrange excursions for you and give local information. Continental breakfast was included and was varied with local pancakes, cakes, egg or yoghurt served. There is a wasp hive within the Riad. It is nice to watch the wasps buzzing around the central small water fountain. However when you are having breakfast and are under attack it is a serious annoyance. We had a large iron framed bed which was very comfortable, sadly it was also very noisy... We had upgraded to half board. When we asked in the morning we were told dinner would be prepared at 8pm. At 8pm we went to the dining area to find the tables were not laid and there were no staff around. We spoke to the hotel receptionist and were told he could prepare a meal for us for around 9pm. So we chose to eat out in the Medina after that. The Spa was empty during the first two days of our stay. We were going to speak to the hotelier on the third day but there was a power issue with the Riad and we were transferred to another Riad. We were moved to the Riad Hidden. Glad we did, it was nearby & the staff are amazing. We spent many evenings chilling with the hotel manager.
• Amina (2/5): Not the room we booked - We booked a triple room, what we got was a single with two added mattresses, not bed The management started using excuses about water problems, internet issues and a/c issues in the room that was booked, they had actually given it to someone else for a higher price. What we were lumbered with was a tiny room with two mattresses they brought in and chucked on the floor. They moved us around constantly and were generally a disgusting place tot stay in due to the attitude of management and their abuse
• Honeybear (10/5): Amazing Riad in the Medina - My boyfriend and I stayed here for two days during our trip to Marrakech, Morocco. The riad is situated in a quiet and cozy corner of the medina which provides you shelter from the bustling clamour of the various shops and cafes in the area. That being said, the immediacy to the medina also made things much easier, as we had quick access to the main square. The riad is designed with great taste, and the hosts were extremely nice and hospitable. Our room is on the first floor, outside of which is the main courtyard. The room is comfortable and clean, with the bathroom being quite exotic and artsy. Breakfast here is delicious. We also opted for dinner one night in the riad, and it was honestly the BEST food we've had in Marrakech (Moroccan salad, chicken tagine, and fruit salad). The rooftop is very cozy as well and has nice views of the medina and beyond, and you can ask to have breakfast here as opposed to in the courtyard if you wish. The day we left we had to get up at 6 AM to catch the train to Casablanca. We could not believe that our host woke up that early to make breakfast for us and called a cab in advance and even saw us off. We were very moved. Highly recommend this riad!
