Reviews of Riad Yamina52

The property is really amazing.

I’m in love with the pool and the rooms too. We had dinner there, it was great.

Beautiful riad in the centre of the medina, close proximity to the Jemaa el-Fnaa and other attractions/lots of restaurants nearby! The riad itself is beautifully decorated with a moroccan feel and lots of different areas within the riad to explore, our room was in the pool courtyard which was just stunning. There is a real sense of calm when you come in from the hustle and bustle of the medina and room was well air-conditioned maintaining a comfortable temperature. The breakfast served each morning was a delicious spread. Staff were very kind and helpful. We were two females in our mid 20s and felt safe the whole time in the surrounds of the riad.

The shower in our room (Safia suite) doesn't have a screen or curtain, did partially flood the bathroom which could be avoided with a newer shower head or screen (although I do understand this would change the traditional aesthetic of the room. The riad is approx 5 min walk from the Jemaa el Fnaa and cars cannot access the property - this wasn't an issue for us but would be a consideration for those with mobility issues or solo female travellers as you need to walk through some quiet alley ways to access.

The staff were very attentive and friendly! Our flight got in quite late and a member of staff met us on the busy street to guide us to the riad, they also organized our excursions and transfer from the airport which was helpful! The breakfast was really good it was the perfect traditional Moroccan breakfast! The rooms were cleaned every day!

We chose the red Deluxe double room which was a lot darker than it looked in the pictures with only natural light in the bathroom making it hard to see in the room, however we asked to change room and the staff accommodated us as soon as they could!

Riad Yamina was simply fantastic! Everyone was very helpful & the whole place is simply amazing!We had dinner there when we arrived & on our last night & hands down it is the best food in Marrakesh, the flavours were simply outstanding :-)

The fact that I can’t eat the food Riad Yamina cook again…. I miss it already!!

Had a delicious welcome dinner when I first arrived, and wonderful and filling breakfasts every morning. The setting and decor of Riad Yamina was charming. As for the room itself, it was cosy and did the job, with a much-appreciated aircon keeping us cool at night. We had requested a cot, but only found out upon arrival that it would be too small for our child. But the staff were very helpful in rearranging some of the (rather heavy!) furniture in the room to make a child-safe bed from the sofa. They were friendly and accommodating, and helped us to feel welcome.

The room was a bit dim, especially in the bathroom, which made it a bit difficult to get around at night! But very atmospheric as a result.

Everyone working at the riad was so nice, very accommodating and helpful. The riad was very beautiful and well kept, of course you can see it has history but is clean, and you feel straight at home it it’s cozy surroundings. The rooms we had were great and the breakfast was good.

My partner and I had a wonderful time in this Riad and I highly recommend it to any couple or solo traveller looking to explore central Marrakech for a few days. Its location meant that we were only a short walk away from the pick ups for our booked activities and also all the restaurants, markets and facilities we needed were close by. The staff were so friendly and hospitable. We had Mohammed pick us up and drop us off at the airport, and he also messaged on whatsapp to let us know where he would be and what he would be wearing. At Marrakech one of the team picked us up from the taxi and walked us all the way to the Riad so there was not any issue navigating and finding the Riad at night on the first day of arrival. I cannot remember the other names of the people who worked during our time at the Riad but all of them were incredibly friendly and hospitable, making us feel at home and looked after.

Minor issue was that contact ahead of time via booking.com was a bit of an issue, as we did not know what we would be eating on the night of our first arrival (it was hard to get replies for details on the food). As one of us has a nut allergy and the other doesn't eat fish or any meats apart from chicken it was a bit worrying as we had no idea what we would end up having on the first night. Fortunately it was fine, and the food was delicious and memorable. In case people are interested, we had bread with two starter dishes: tomato and pepper and aubergine - the aubergine was delicious and one of the best things we tasted the whole trip! This was followed by chicken tagine and couscous, followed by a fruit cake dessert.

Rooms were clean and staff were friendly.

Hotel staff came to collect us from our taxi drop off point and we had to pull our luggage all the way to the Riad and the road to the Riad is bumpy and dusty. Other riads have luggage carts to carry luggage so that the wheels on the suitcases are not damaged. The riad needs to improve on this by getting luggage carts.

They stole €100 cash from my room during cleaning. They changed the order of clothes and things in our room. We can't say if it was the cleaning ladies or the guy at the reception who seemed suspicious when talking to us. Despite this, the Riad is very welcoming, with an international and abundant breakfast.

Location was great, staff very helpful and friendly, comfortable rooms

The only thing was the toilet didn’t refill with water so we had to keep doing it manually. And the shower tap got so hot it burnt my hand when trying to turn it off. And it didn’t drain so was constantly flooding.

We loved our stay here! The staff were incredible and super helpful as well as accommodating! The food here is amazing, we had lunch and dinner and honestly it was better than most restaurants we’ve tried. The areas and our room were always clean!! The location is really on point just beware of the fact that after 1 pm there are no cars allowed so you will have to walk from the main plaza all the way to the hotel with your luggage. This was not an inconvenience for us but just something to keep in mind. We also scheduled our airport transport with them and it was super easy. We would definitely come back especially because the staff made it so much better!

The spa was lovely but it’s not what I’m used to in the US. This is not their fault at all just keep in mind that the culture is different and the spa experience is also different.

The staff were lovely, they brought us tea biscuits and bottled water while we checked in Room was very clean and as described

Property was excellent. We arrived late but still enjoyed a delicious meal.

Beautiful Riad close to the main square. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay amazing! 10/10 would recommend! Thanks to Mehdi and Badr!

Staff were very helpful & friendly, always smiling & happy to advise on any questions we had regarding day trips or general information about Marrakech/Morocco.

Staff were really polite and helpful, location is great as it's really close to the main square which is very busy, but quite when in the Riad. Room (Mayer with private balcony) was excellent and the whole Riad has lots of places to relax. Breakfast was very good and overall i highly recommend this accommodation.

You don't get a front door key, you have to ring the bell to enter, but they answer quickly so not a big deal at all.

Overall, the hospitality was good and the room we booked was amazing 🤩 Me and my husband booked for a traditional hammam and spa as well at the same hotel and it was exceptional. I would definitely recommend it to others

The property was beautiful! The staff were so welcoming and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was great! The location was perfect and central. The breakfast and dinner spread was perfect. I highly recommend having dinner one night at the Riad as it was our favourite of the whole trip!

Great friendly staff, great location, good breakfast. Very authentic architecture.

Our room did not have a window that allowed light in and lots of steps
