Ambre Epices Medina Riad

Our stay at Ambre Epices Medina Riad was simply magical — a perfect blend of tranquillity, beauty, and authentic Morocca

Pros: What we loved most about the property was the perfect blend of authenticity and comfort. The riad is beautifully restored, full of character, and feels like a peaceful oasis right in the heart of the Medina. The courtyard is stunning and incredibly tranquil — stepping through the doors feels like leaving the bustle of Marrakech behind. Our room was tastefully decorated, spacious, and very comfortable, with thoughtful details that made the stay feel special. We also really enjoyed the rooftop terrace, which is ideal for relaxing after a day exploring the city. The overall atmosphere is warm, intimate, and welcoming — it feels more like being hosted in a beautiful private home than staying in a hotel. It truly made our time in Marrakech unforgettable.

Cons: What didn’t we like? Honestly… that we couldn’t pack it up and bring it home with us. If only it were possible to fold the courtyard into our suitcase, take the rooftop sunsets back with us, and reinstall that peaceful Medina atmosphere in our everyday lives. Leaving was genuinely the hardest part — everything else was just perfect.

Pros: The staff here are amazing, especially when it comes to families. They were so thoughtful regarding our baby’s needs and incredibly helpful throughout our stay. Huge thanks to Marwa, Mohammed, Abdul, and Meriam for their exceptional kindness. The Riad is a peaceful haven of tranquility perfectly situated in the middle of all the action. Highly recommended!

Fantastic riad with exceptional staff

Pros: Fantastic stay we loved every minute. Mohamed and Marwa were very helpful - they organised fabulous trips (hot air ballooning and a medina guide) all the staff were lovely. Fabulous breakfast on the terrace. Excellent stay.

A fabulous stay in a beautiful Riad.

Pros: Breakfast was excellent - a lovely range of food which was varied each day. All of the team were friendly and eager to help in any way. We were amazed how peaceful the riad was - after the chaos of the souks. The riad was an oasis of calm and a lovely place to relax after a day sightseeing.

Cons: there was nothing to dislike - everything was excellent. From the moment we booked to getting into our taxi to return us to the airport everything was excellent.

Very relaxing, home from home experience with all the extra luxury of a posh hotel.

Pros: It was really central. The staff were all so friendly. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful to set you up for the day. The room was a good size and the shower was great with plenty hot water. I had a massage in the Riad which was so relaxing. We also opted to have an evening meal one night which was so delicious and traditional.

Pros: Everything! We loved it so much! We’re coming back!

Stylish, attentive and central - Marrakesh’s finest!

Pros: Great location - quiet but convenient for sight-seeing. Staff attentive and welcoming with great customer service. Room clean and stylishly designed along with other hotel facilities. Several areas to relax in and breakfast by far the best we have had in terms of variety and freshness of produce.

Cons: Only improvement would be some tea and coffee facilities but as we were out much of the day this did not bother us.

Pros: Property is amazing and the breakfast I think it was one of the best I had in a long time

Perfect - amazing staff

Pros: Fantastic Riad - the staff are the real treat here. They are probably the nicest staff I have come across. Mohamed is outstanding and very friendly. Abdul doing the breakfast service and always there to help.

Cons: I struggle to find something I did not like - it was all great

Quintessential Moroccan Riad with incredible service and food.

Pros: It's hard for someone British to rate anything as 10/10 but Ambre Epices is exceptional: a beautiful Riad with a courtyard that is evocative of everything that is Moroccan, incredible service and cooking the most amazing food, whether it's at breakfast or for dinner. Everyone did everything they could to make our stay better, whether it was the front of house managers with their responsiveness and advice or the waiting and kitchen staff making sure we had everything we needed.

Cons: I had a minor issue with noise because we were on the top floor and could hear the terrace being set-up for breakfast; but once the staff were aware of the issue they resolved it immediately and took on board the feedback very impressively.
