Riad Jenaï L'Authentique

Home away from home. It’s like visiting a friend’s house!

Pros: The warmth and welcoming of the staff. Yannick, the host, welcomed us as if we were his friends visiting his house. Reda gave us tips on how to use Maps.Me and where to find places of interest and restaurants. Breakfast was great. Bed and pillows are very comfortable. Our room is with plenty of space. The riad is very close to Ben Youssef madersa and the Jardin Secret. The riad is like a place of retreat from all the noises of the market. It’s very quiet and we didn’t hear anything from the outside except for birds and calls to prayer.

Cons: It’s a bit of a journey to get to the riad as it’s deep in the Medina.

Pros: All of it ! Staff were amazing too. Would do anything to help

A hidden treasure in a labyrinth of narrow alleyways

Pros: The host , the rooms and amazing views for breakfast.

Cons: There are a lot of steps but manageable

Pros: We had a wonderful stay for 5 nights. We had the room on the terrace which was beautifully decorated. Unfortunately there was some heavy rain so we weren't able to make good use of the heated pool but enjoyed staying in the gorgeous riad very much. Very centrally located, and excellent advice and assistance from Reda and Yannick. The entrance is down a narrow windy passageway, but it does have lights at night. Thank you for the fabulous welcome.

Excellent base for exploring Marrakesh. Would definitely advise booking taxi through the Riad if it is your first visit

Pros: Exceptional Riad in the centre of the Medina, Close to everything, Quiet and relaxing, very chilled Reda is a credit to this property and could not do enough for us ,

Cons: No

A riad gem - with the most special staff

Pros: Reda & Khadeje took care of so amazingly! The Riad is really beautiful & we had the luxury of the rooftop terrace room so could fall out of bed, wander a few short steps to breakfast & then lounge around the cute pool with ease. The location is awesome & easy to navigate to … thanks to Reda’s instructions. We booked the airport transfer directly through the Riad which was invaluable - otherwise could be tricky to find at first. We also asked Khadeje to make us a tagine & it was hands down the best meal we had in the 5 days! We also booked a hot air balloon through Marrakech by Air - a magical once in a lifetime experience. Our favourite restaurant experience was Nomad (but still not as good as the home cooked tagine) … We highly recommend booking this Riad for a million more reasons but just trust us - DO IT!

Cons: Nothing!

Staying here was perfect!

Pros: This is the most beautiful Riad. Absolute treasure. The rooms are amazing and all individual. Peaceful. To get there is down a series of small alleys and we thought we were totally lost. Best to get the Riad to arrange to meet you.

Cons: Nothing not to like.

Surprising haven in Medina Chaos

Pros: Charming Riad, cool comfortable, friendly attentive team.

Cons: I was unlucky to be there at the same time as a woman with a high voice who was excitable. Im not sure if she was friend of Yannick, the owner or a guest he was entertaining. Her constant high pitched laughing was audible all over the riad due to the nature of how they are built. This went on for hours on the 2 evenings I was there. Perhaps Yannick could have been sensitive to this? He must have known about the acoustics, an apology at the least would have been appreciated.

Pros: Yannick and Reda are excellent hosts and lovely people. They were very helpful. We felt like home after first moment there. The food was very tasty and authentic. Riad is beautiful, clean and peaceful! It is a hidden gem! We can't wait to come back!

A stunning Riad

Pros: A peaceful and stunning oasis hidden away from the bustle. A beautifully restored Riad, with comfortable beds, ample space, and the friendliest staff. Reda was a superstar. Such attention to detail. We really felt at home. I was sad to leave!

Cons: It was pure perfection. We loved everything. Just make sure you arrange with Yannick a pick up from the airport - as this Riad is a secret jewel, very well hidden away.
