Ryad Ayad

Incredible host, lovely accommodation and superb food

Pros: We loved our stay at Ryad Ayad, the hosts was incredibly friendly and organised our taxi and showed us where we could get money out etc without expecting anything in return and spoke good English. The rooms are comfortable and nice value for money, you have the entire 1st floor with 3 rooms and access to the roof terrace which has views of the mountains, birds singing, sunlight and shade. The hosts lives on the ground floor and were always quiet and keen to help us with anything. The breakfasts were lovely and the dinner was superb! We went to two restaurants rated 4.9 out of 5 before eating at Ryad Ayad and the dinner with our hosts was far better than both restaurants, if they give you the option make sure to take it your wont regret it. Very easy walking distance to everything I'm the Medina.

Wonderful host. Very nice and clean with excellent food. Would highly recommend.

Pros: Wonderful host. Very nice and clean with excellent food. Would highly recommend.

Pros: It was a really great stay for our family with 3 kids. And dinner, which we had at Ryad Ayad, was the most tasteful of all dinners in Marakesh. Thank you Mohamed and Naaima, it was really a great pleasure to stay here!

Pros: The host was lovely and very accomodating to me and my friends, thanks again!

Pros: Our stay at this hotel was absolutely delightful, thanks to the amazing hospitality of Naimma. She went above and beyond to make us feel at home, treating us like family and ensuring we were always comfortable and happy. Even after we checked out, she reached out to check on us, which was such a thoughtful and heartwarming gesture. We highly recommend staying here when you visited Marrakech.

Pros: It is a nice location with many hospitality. They arranged a taxi for us, that took to thr nearest street where we met her. Sightseeing, all major attractions available within 15-30 min. by foot. Naaima prepared a delicious brakfast with tea and coffee every day and dinner for us on the day of arrival (payed for it separately).

Pros: 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.

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

One of my best stays

Pros: 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.

cozy riad close to the center

Pros: 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.

Cons: 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 place made us feel like locals. It was absolutely perfect!

Pros: 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.

Cons: Shower needs a little more power.
