    Nothing.

    The Riad is a hidden gem.All staff were helpful and professional.The ladies did a fantastic job with cooking breakfast and cleaning the rooms.Badr was very helpful in the evenings. Ahmed was exceptionally outstanding. He welcomed us on the 1st night and went over and above and ensured he answered all our questions and tips on places to visit.He made us feel at home.He had our teenage children's attention and gratitude which is rare. Sofia ( the owner) spent some time talking with us and ensuring that we had settled in okay and had all the information we required. The rooms were beautifully decorated and clean. The communal areas were also very clean. Wifi worked well All in all a home away from home.

    Riad was really peaceful clean and comfortable. Air conditioning and pool were amazing to cope with the summer heat. Breakfast was amazing and Badr even gave us a a special early breakfast on the day we were leaving even though it was an hour and a half before breakfast time. Ahmed was such a welcoming host greeting us with mint tea and a cold bottle of water, gave us amazing tips and made our stay exceptionally reassuring.

    The only improvement I can think of would be if they served alcohol. A beer on the roof would be epic.

    10/10 - highly recommend! Lovely interiors - authentically Moroccan whilst also being modern, comfortable and very clean. Nice room and bathroom. Great location, easy to walk into the centre of the Medina. Lovely rooftop space to relax - a real plus to have a rooftop pool :) Delicious breakfast and the staff were super helpful and friendly - particularly Baden, who we saw every morning and evening. They even helped us book a day pass at another hotel before we arrived, which was above and beyond. A great choice for friends, couples or families. Extra points for the cute cat, San

    I have nothing bad to say

    Amazing stay. Beautiful Riad in a lovely location that's easy to get transport to and from and get two minutes away from the Souks. Sofia, Badir, Ahmed and all the other staff are so friendly and go out of their way to make you feel at home. The food was amazing, the breakfast I'm still thinking about! The Riad is so peaceful considering it's in the heart of a busy city and the little rooftop area is lovely for a morning coffee or afternoon nap. Clean comfortable rooms that were tidied everyday, great Aircon and lovely bathrooms. Honestly if you're thinking about staying here just book it.

    The breakfast at Riad Aya was great. A really nice selection that was very tasty and well prepared. The location of the Riad is fantastic. We did not need to book a taxi for the duration and were able to walk to all locations that we visited in the medina on foot despite having young children with us. The massage lady who the Riad arranged for us was really exceptional too.

    Shower pressure was low, but water shortages in area probably mean that is city wide.

    We loved the breakfast, great coffee, super fresh orange juice and then a different crepes equivalent everyday. It was a 5 minute walk to the souks. We had dinner in the property on the first night and it was delicious. The staff were fantastic, helpful, polite and friendly.

    The airport transfer and in house dining were more highly priced than in my previous riad and the building wasn’t super soundproof.

    This is a gorgeous riad, elegant and stylish, even better than the photos. It’s easy to find compared to some other riads in the Medina, with easy access to the road with vehicle access. The staff were pleasant and unobtrusive, the beds were comfortable and the breakfast fresh and tasty.

    The Riad was top level on everything, from the day I checked in to when I checked out. Perfectly located around the souk and Jamee Al Fena, yet, when you go inside, it’s quiet and cozy! all the top attractions and restaurants are within walking distance. The staff were awesome, every single one of them. Whenever I get a chance to come back to Marrakech, I will definitely be staying here again.

    Compared to other Riads, it is quite expensive… Also the dinner is too expensive for Marrakech.

    Amazing experience! Not only the Riad, but also the staff (especially Achmed) was incredibly friendly and helpful! Thank you very much, we will come back again…

    pillows we're really hard and thick which we both found quite uncomfortable. We were both surprised that there was not a mini fridge in the room,considering that this is an African hot country.

    Trying to find Riad from the airport taxi drop off. The Riad is located at the end of an alleyway which can seem intimidating after dark.

    Breakfast was amazing and the staff went out of their way to provide gluten free options for my husband. We ate in the Riad several nights as again they cooked gluten free for us.
