Very pleasant staff & good meals. Bedrooms basic but clean & tidy. Disappointing location, poor WiFi on 1st floor & non-existent on 2nd floor. Plunge pool on roof not in use during our stay. Website pics unfairly flattering.

Typical Riad of Marrocos
The Riad itself is quite nice. The hospitality and the breakfast were great. There was no tv and no trash bins. The location is in the Medina, quite close to the center, and the civilization there in not advanced as in the west, so the access and the surroundings are typical, I'd say.

This place and these people are wonderful! It was a beautiful getaway and haven for when Marrakech was too much. The dinner is delicious traditional food and the view from the roof is spectacular. I want to go back.
Note, definitely have them book transportation for you to and from the airport/train station. If you don't the taxis will try to take all of your money. I had my taxi drop me off 10 min from the Riad and pass me on to another random street guy who asked for a terrible amount of money. None of that is worth it. They are extremely helpful here and can book transportation easily!

Had a wonderful time at Riad Aya. My friend and I used Riad Aya as a base while traveling around Morocco, therefore we returned 3 times and got to try 3 different rooms. Each room was clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. The staff is friendly, and always willing to help you and/or answer your questions. The roof is an amazing oasis, especially after a day of exploring the city. Loved my time in Morocco and at this Riad. Great affordable treasure! Merci! Shukran! Thank you!

Alojamiento Boutique
Es un experiencia inolvidable alojarse en el Ryad Aya, es como llegar a tu propia casa, desde la recepción en el aeropuerto uno siente la diferencia, luego un Checkin muy agil con la infaltable taza de té
El término Ryad viene del hecho de haber convertido una casa de la Medina de Marrakech en una alojamiento, que yo lo llamaria en nuestro lenguaje sudamericano, Boutique, pues manteniendo el estilo de la casa marroquí, han acomodado muy bien uno de primera clase
Su atención es personalizada, al ser pocos huéspedes prácticamente es como lo dije al inicio de este comentario, como estar en tu propia casa
El desayuno esta incluido y a pedido preparan almuerzos o cenas, la recomendación es optar por esta alternativa pues la comida en otros restaurantes es muy condimentada, lo que podría ocasionar problemas estomacales. La comida es local y lo mejor es la atencion, totalmente personalizada, tanto asi que hasta las mesas están reservados para cada huésped
Las habitaciones son una réplica de una marroquí, con una decoración acorde con el estilo árabe, y el baño ni se diga, increíble
A pedido proporcionan transfer de/al aeropuerto, tema vital pues al estar el hotel en una callejuela interna, la única forma de llegar es con un guia
Aceptan todos los medios de pago, incluso se ouede elegir la moneda, dirham, o euros
Un detalle que queremos resaltar es la calidez y amabilidad de su personal, llegaron incluso a darnos desayuno al momento de retirarnos, a las 4:00 am

Convenient hotel, quiet and helpful staff. This hotel is tucked away from Main Street which helps with the traffic noise and the staff were there to assist us in anything that we needed.

Au cœur de la Médina
A 10 minutes à pied de la place Djema El Fna. Accueil très sympathique de Sofia, service souriant de Simon, petits déjeuners variés. Un havre de paix après des journées bruyantes dans la ville. Diners à réserver, on vous recommande le couscous et la pastilla de poisson !

Tutto perfetto !
Riad grazioso ed accogliente, arredato in stile marocchino con molto buon gusto e curato nei minimi particolari, con una atmosfera calda e raffinata. Pulitissimo. Personale gentile e discreto. Comodo per visitare Marrakech a piedi, è una vera oasi di pace fuori dal caos della città. Ottima ed abbondante colazione, come pure le cene.
Sofia è molto disponibile e ti coccola risolvendo le tue necessità : ha organizzato il trasferimento da e per l'aeroporto con un autista privato che ci ha accompagnato fin sulla porta del Riad, ci ha fornito una piantina della città indicandoci i luoghi più interessanti da vedere, ha organizzato una gita fuori città insieme ad altri ospiti del Riad, sempre con autista privato.
Siamo stati molto bene e lo consigliamo a tutti !

Good value small Riad
The manager Sophia and staff were very welcoming and helpful. The Riad has been beautifully restored and our room on the 1st floor was nicely decorated in a rustic Moroccan style, there is also a roof terrace with views of the Atlas mountains and a v. small plunge pool. We had the 3 course set menu on the 1st night which was all good and cost around 600 MAD including a bottle of house red. The approach to the Riad entrance is via a dimly lit passageway which could be off-putting especially if arriving in the dark however the Riad is centrally located with Jemna El Fna and the Souks about a 20 minute walk away. Overall a very enjoyable stay and good VFM

Oasis in the middle of madness
We arrived at the RIad after a train trip from Casablanca. Sofia greeted us, gave us a lovely cold drink and a bite to eat as we hadn't had anything since breakfast. She provided a good briefing and map of Marrakech with lots of tips.
The RIad is beautiful and after the madness of the medina a welcome relief - an oasis.
We stayed 2 nights and then came back for a further 5. We had several meals, all really good. If we ever go back to Marrakech we would definitely stay there as we feel as though Sofia and Simo are now our friends
