Excellent
Pros: Excellent Riad, with super friendly and helpful staff. We are both vegan and ate at the Riad twice as the food was so good. They made us fabulous meals. I loved the starters and vegetarian tagine that they prepared. All the staff were wonderful and our room was exceptional.

Pros: Riad Siwan is a beautiful, peaceful oasis in a bustling part of the Medina (the old city). It has been lovingly restored (check out the before and after photo album) and the owner and manager are warm, helpful, and give great recommendations. The staff could not have been more gracious. The rooms are clean, quiet, and elegantly decorated. Breakfast is delicious. We were enjoying the sunny, comfortable rooftop terrace so much one day that we decided to stay for lunch and it was fresh and tasty. We got so lazy/ happy that we abandoned our plans that day and just lounged in the lounge chairs reading and chatting. It is very centrally located to the top \
Cons: I appreciate reviews that get specific, so I will share one location detail. The Riad is a few blocks off a very busy, cobblestone alley lined with shops and restaurants. It is too narrow for cars, but motorbikes, bikes, even donkey carts constantly weave through the throng of pedestrians. My friend found it lively and wasn't concerned, but I found it nerve wracking. Miraculously, no one seems to collide, but it was just too close for comfort for me. Clearly I have given Riad Siwan a 5 star review above, so I share it in the spirit of knowing your own wiring. Sidenote: take them up on the airport transfer. It would not be an easy place to find on your own, so they send a friendly man with a cart to take your luggage from the parking area to their door. Pay attention to little landmarks as he leads you there.

Beautiful Riad
Pros: Riad Siwan is a hidden gem, tucked away from the bustling alleys of the Medina. The manager Khalid and his staff are very welcoming and friendly. They will assist you with any of your travel needs. The rooms are beautifully decorated and the food is delicious. Coming back to the riad after a day out in busy Marrakech is like coming back home. We warmly recommmend this riad.

Beautiful Riad, great location, gorgeous fresh food and perfect service
Pros: This beautiful Riad hotel exceeded our expectations. Absolutely beautiful house and interior, the staff were wonderful, polite and prepared to assist us whenever. We were welcomed by Khalid, offered a light lunch after our long flight which was delicious and made restaurant reservations for us. He was there at our beckon call to assist with anything needed. The breakfast was very good, fresh produce and beautifully laid out. Although the Riad is in the heart of the Medina, it was absolutely calm and quiet there, only bird song and tranquility. I strongly recommend Riad Siwan and would love to go back.
Cons: Nothing! It was all magical.

Lovely Riad experience
Pros: Riad Siwan is a labour of love, everything is so nicely thought of and executed. The stay was very comfortable. The attention to detail is remarkable. The staff is very friendly and always have a smile on their face when you meet them. The roof terrace has beautiful 360 degree views, where you can relax. Best part was breakfast which we could have in the dinning area as well as on the roof terrace.Riad Siwan is walking distance from the Medina but still quiet from the hustle bustle. Khalid the property manager was very nice and quick in responding to any query we had.He had arranged a pick up for us and also arranged for a car on hire when we requested on our last day. He also arranged for a local guide to take us around on the first day. A big thank you to him.
Cons: Everything was nice

Overall, we had an enjoyable stay in a well furnished, well staffed and well appointed riad.
Pros: Evening meal was very good. Breakfasts were acceptable, if a little unimaginative and with not much variety. All staff were very welcoming, and did everything possible to make our stay enjpyable. We appreciated the arrangement that to enter the Riad, it was essential to ring, and be admitted by a member of staff.
Cons: The Riad listed a swimming pool, and after the earthquake ,when we contacted Riad Siwan we were assured that all services were available. That was not strictly accurate. The pool was unfilled, and when we asked why, we were told that due to some structural damage, there was concern that that corner of the building would not cope with the increased wait of the water. We felt that this should have been flagged up before our arrival.
