Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Nuestra estancia en el Riad fue muy agradable. La atención fue excelente desde el primer momento, siempre muy atentos y pendientes de que no nos faltara nada. El desayuno fue abundante y delicioso. Quiero destacar especialmente a Ayoub el encargado, por su amabilidad y disposición para ayudarnos en todo momento. Incluso nos acompañaba o llevaba a los lugares cuando no sabíamos cómo llegar, algo que valoramos muchísimo. Además, tuvo el detalle de imprimirnos nuestra autorización de viaje cuando la necesitábamos, demostrando una gran atención y preocupación por los huéspedes. Sin duda, lo mejor del Riad fue el trato cercano y amable del personal. Muchas gracias por hacer nuestra estancia tan cómoda y agradable. ¡Lo recomendamos!
I loved how nice and quiet the riad is. You can hear the birds chirping. There is a mosque nearby so the Azaan can be a bit loud for some. You get used to it tho. As a Muslim, I loved it. The room we stayed in was the deluxe double and had a tap as well as a shower head for the shower which was beneficial. Our host was amazing and very kind. Breakfast was lovely too as we had a traditional Moroccan breakfast for 6 days. Our host kept an eye on what we ate and what we didn't and also offered different fruits all days which kept us of our toes.
The only iffy thing is that the riad is quite a walk from the souks. Some may see it as a perk since its quiet near the riad and more isolated. We felt very safe so it wasn't much of a problem. It takes around 30 minutes to walk to the souks and 10 to the Saadian Tombs. Its a perfect location for when its cold but since its was very hot when we stayed (september) it was a bit of a walk. Also wish they'd have a bidet or something in the toilet. Still had a lovely stay though.
El trato de Ayoub, es increíble como nos trato y nos cuidó con cada detalle y siempre pendiente de nosotros un 10

The riad is in an excellent location, making it easy to explore the surrounding area while still feeling like a peaceful retreat away from the busier streets. The communal spaces are beautifully designed, blending traditional local character with a warm, welcoming atmosphere that immediately makes you feel at home. The rooms follow the same thoughtful aesthetic, comfortable, well-appointed, and spotless, with, attention to detail that really enhances the overall experience. Everything is exceptionally well maintained and fully equipped, which makes for a very easy and comfortable stay. Cleanliness throughout the property stands out and adds to the sense of care that runs through the whole place.

Tout était parfait, la chambre est propre et le lit est confortable. Ayoub est très sympa et s’assure que tout va bien tout le temps et sert de très bon petit déjeuner. L’emplacement est vraiment bien que ce soit à pied ou en bus si vous voulez aller un peu plus loin. Je recommande !
Perfect Riad to stay in away from the hustle and bustle of Marakesh. The customer service from Ayoub was definitely one of the best I’ve received. We requested dinner at the Riad and the food was just WOW!
Excelente trato y disponibilidad del personal del Riad. Muy recomendable para viajar sola.
Magnifique riad, très propre et idéalement situé. L’accueil a été parfait du début à la fin. Le service de transfert aéroport proposé par l’établissement (en supplément) est très pratique et fiable, chauffeur ponctuel et agréable. Un grand merci à Ayoub pour sa gentillesse, son attention et sa bienveillance tout au long de notre séjour. Le petit déjeuner est délicieux et copieux. Nous recommandons cet établissement sans hésitation ! Si nous revenons sur Marrakech, nous choisirons à nouveau ce Riad. Merci pour ce beau séjour.
Riad Azawan is a beautiful riad located in a very quiet courtyard. Ayoub, our host, greeted us near the gate and made our stay exceptional. We stayed in the Double w/ balcony - the room is large enough that there is space for 2 suitcases to be open on the floor comfortably. The bed was really comfortable and the shower had a great hot water and water pressure. Breakfast was generous, with eggs, Msemmen bread, fresh juice and coffee (a typical Moroccan breakfast in Riads). The owners have a done a lovely job restoring the Riad and making it comfortable. The birdsong throughout the Riad was spectacular - originally thought it was audio before we realized it was actually real birds singing! The views from the roof were lovely and a great spot to sit and enjoy with a tea.

We stayed in Azawan guesthouse 3 times over 2 weeks, renting all 4 rooms one night, and a single room the other times. This is a very well operated and maintained guesthouse, the best one we have used in this part of Marrakesh. The friendly host and the rustic but modern design made our visits pleasant.
The Wifi could be better. There is also some way to the nearest parking area.
Accoglienza perfetta e grandissima disponibilità. Camera bella e pulita, bagno comodo, cena eccellente. Grazie Ayoub!
A very beautiful Riad, and the staff, Ayoub was great and very very helpful with everything 👌
Mi è piaciuta la colazione in particolare e anche l'accoglienza, Ayub è stato molto gentile e cordiale.
El trato del muchacho que atiende
Todo fue bien
Magnifique Riad fait avec beaucoup de goût, et très intimiste. La chambre est très agréable, propre et la literie confortable. Dans un coin plus tranquille de la médina c’est aussi appréciable. L’accueil d’Ayoub est excellent, très sympathique, il nous a même accompagné au taxi à 3h30 du matin. Je recommande !
La ubicación es buena, llegas a la plaza central en unos 15 min, El personal del Riad es muy simpático, habla varios idiomas y la habitación está bien, son chiquitas pero bueno para pasar la noche, está bien.
Ayoub was an exceptional host, professional, friendly, and gave us good recommendations for our stay
Our stay at Riad Azawan was absolutely exceptional – truly one of the best experiences we’ve ever had! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with genuine warmth and kindness that made us feel at home instantly. The riad itself is stunning – beautifully designed with authentic details, a peaceful atmosphere, and impeccable cleanliness throughout. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and tastefully decorated, offering a perfect blend of traditional charm and modern comfort. Every little detail is carefully thought out, making the stay incredibly relaxing. What really makes this place special is the staff. They go above and beyond in every possible way – always smiling, attentive, and ready to help with anything you need. Their hospitality is simply outstanding and unforgettable. The location is perfect – close enough to everything, yet quiet and serene, allowing you to fully unwind after a busy day exploring. We honestly couldn’t find a single thing to improve. Everything exceeded our expectations. If you’re looking for a perfect stay, look no further – Riad Azawan is a true gem! We will definitely come back and highly recommend it to everyone!
La disponibilité, la gentillesse d Ayoub et son aide tout au long du séjour. Nous avons passé de merveilleuse vacances, le riad est calme et confortable, très propre et agréable. Le petit déjeuner est très copieux et soigné. Merci encore !
La gentillesse de Yaoun , le petit déjeuner, le repas , le riad ,
A vérifier les No de téléphone sur booking, car le GPS nous amène a 250 metre du riad , mais dans la médina, et la pas moyen de trouver l'adresse et compliqué de joindre l'hote car No de téléphone non valide sur le site
Très agréable rihad. Le personnel était à l'écoute. Un bon petit déjeuner.
Ayoub fue un excelente anfitrión que estuvo atento a todas nuestras necesidades durante la estancia. Nos ayudó, por ejemplo, a organizar el transporte al aeropuerto el día anterior y nos dio muy buenas recomendaciones de lugares para visitar. Además, tuvo el detalle de prepararnos el desayuno para llevar los días en los que teníamos que madrugar mucho por las excursiones. Un lugar altamente recomendado

First of all I have to say that Ayoub is a great host. He took very good care of my family. He is also great cook and he local knowledge and recommendations are at the superb level (thank you again for tips for kids and the barber place you recommended). The Riad itself is very nice, I would say even better compared to the photos at the Booking. I liked the location, you are close to the city centre, yet in the more quiet part of it. The view from the rooftop is beautiful.
It's more warning for the others than complaint. You should be aware, there is mosque is nearby = sound of prayers could be too loud for some. However good pair of earplugs will sort everything.:)
Nocleg w riadzie Azawan był dla nas wyjątkowym przeżyciem. Miejsce jest dopieszczone, ciepłe i bardzo przyjemne dla oka. Jest niezwykle romantyczne. Po zameldowaniu zostaliśmy ugoszczeni tradycyjną marokańską herbatą, a Ayoub opowiadał nam o swojej kulturze. Musieliśmy wyjeżdżać wcześnie rano, a Ayoub był dla nas tak miły, że naszykował nam śniadanie na wynos. Gościnność jest urzekająca!
Ayoubs Service war ausgezeichnet. Es gab jeden Tag leckeres und abwechslungsreiches Frühstück.
We had a wonderful stay at this riad, and a big part of that was thanks to Ayoub. He wasn’t just a host - he felt more like our guide throughout the stay. He took the time to show us the traditional tea drinking ritual, which was a really special experience and something we’ll remember for a long time. He was incredibly welcoming and attentive, always making sure we felt comfortable. Every morning he prepared fresh, delicious breakfasts, and he shared stories about Morocco that added a lot of depth to our trip. The riad itself is perfectly located – just a short walk from the centre, shops, and cafes, but tucked away on a quiet street, so it still feels peaceful and relaxing.
Tout est parfait, l’emplacement au calme et proche du centre, très joli établissement, chambre impeccable, très jolie décoration dans tout le Riad et surtout Ayoub est d’une gentillesse extrême, très serviable et fort sympathique. Hâte de revenir

Le riad est bien situé dans la casbah au fond d'un passage tranquille. Plusieurs attractions et restos sont accessibles à pied et sinon des taxis passent à deux pas. La chambre est petite mais confortable. C'est par contre Ayoub, notre charmant hôte qui fait toute la différence. Efficace, attentionné, bienveillant à chaque moment. Il faut aussi mentionné les excellents repas qu'il nous a préparé. Tanmirt Ayoub!

Tout etait absolument parfait
Tout. Le Riad est un agréable cocon. Tres jolie deco. Les lits sont extrêmement confortables. Douche bien chaude. Petits déjeuners délicieux et très copieux. Ayoub nous a accueillis chaleureusement, il nous a rendu service tout au long du sejour. Il nous a donné de nombreuses informations sur la culture marocaine. Le riad est à 15mn à pied de la place centrale. De supers restaurants à 10mn. Nous n'avons pris des 4 roues que pour les excursions à la journée.

Excelentes anfitriones sobre todo Ayoub, no duden en tomar esta opción si van a Marrakech
Excelente
Cet Ryad est une œuvre d’art qui approche la perfection. Cet endroit est une oasis de sérénité où l’on vient puiser énergie et retrouver le bonheur, après avoir arpenté la médina. Tout y est en harmonie: du confort de la literie à la propreté irréprochable du lieu, du petit-déjeuner aux prestations du dîner, toute l’expérience semble maîtrisée. On pourrait presque oublier la curiosité de partir explorer d’autres lieux à Marrakech, tant les saveurs orientales préparerées par une cheffe exceptionnelle envoûtent les sens. Le service est précis et attentif, la discrétion est de mise, et le personnel, d’une gentillesse sincère, ajoute une chaleur humaine rare. Fouad, qui veille sur ce petit paradis, incarne une bonté généreuse et une culture berbère authentique, dont la douceur nous manque lorsque nous rentrons au quotidien occidental. J’ai vécu un moment hors du temps, un rêve éveillé dans un cadre qui respire la beauté. Partir plus tôt que prévu me laisse avec un goût amère: l’envie de rester encore et encore, de prolonger ce séjour magique.
Ayoud el chico que nos atendió muy atento, pendiente siempre si necesitábamos algo, nos atendió correctamente,las instalaciones estaban muy limpias y el desayuno fantástico
Grand merci a Ayoub le gérant du Riad, une personne en or avec le coeur sur la main, serviable, chaleureux et tendre. Nous recommandons ce riad
The riad was beautiful, but what truly made our stay unforgettable was Ayoub and his exceptional hospitality. He was incredibly kind, attentive, and always ready to help with anything we needed. Every morning he prepared a delicious breakfast and he took the time to share fascinating insights about Berber culture, which made our experience even more meaningful.
Il Riad è stupendo, in una zona tranquilla Ma vicinissimo alla vita della Medina. Ayoub è stato gentilissimo, ci ha prenotato reistoranti e chiamato taxi, senza contare il fatto che la cena migliore che abbiamo mangiato è stata proprio quella al Riad.
Ci è piaciuto tutto, i cuscini erano un po' macchiati però a parte quello nulla da dire. Stupendo
Heel vriendelijke ontvangst + lekker ontbijt.
Ayoub was great!
Breakfast was amazing!@ And very friendly staff!
Everything was great, Ayoub was very nice and helpful.
Nothing we didn't like.
Absolutely loved our time at the Riad, the place looks gorgeous and it’s a great spot for exploring the souks and the palace. Ayoub was very helpful and very accommodating from picking us up from the airport to daily breakfast and arranging a day tour to see the atlas mountains. 10/10 ✨

Ayoub was a fantastic host. He was extremely helpful, welcoming, and made us the best meal that we had while in Marrakech. The location of the riad is fantastic, close to the centre, shops, and cafes, but buried enough in a side street to be calm and quiet. Breakfast was tasty and plentiful.
The room was not very well sound proofed. It was not a major issue, but it meant that others in the riad opening doors etc. could be heard easily.
Leckeres Frühstück, gemütliche Atmosphäre und ein echtes „Zuhause-Gefühl“. Im Januar etwas frisch, aber gut beheizbar. Ein großes Dankeschön an Ayub, der alles perfekt organisiert hat – von Tipps bis zu Ausflügen. Super hilfsbereit und extrem sympathisch!
We really loved this accommodation! The riad is very very beautiful and charming. The best part of this place is Ayoub. He is extremely kind and friendly, helping us with everything we need and giving us a lot of interesting information. He also prepared a delicious breakfast for us every day. He is an amazing host and made our stay even better. The riad is in a great location, just a 15 minute walk from the center We highly recommend this place!!!
As soon as I entered I was welcomed by Ayoub who made me traditional mint tea, brought out biscuits and offered me help with whatever I needed. He was very friendly and we had a great chat. The road is very quiet and peaceful, and I wish I could've stayed longer.
It's a bit tricky to get to but that's because it's in the old city, definitely worth the trek to get there.
Wir waren zum 2. Mal dort und es war wieder top. Alles begann mit einem sehr freundlichen Empfang. Das Frühstück war lecker marokkanisch, wie wir es lieben. Wir haben uns diesmal abends auch ein 3 Gang Menü bestellt und wurden nicht enttäuscht. Und weil es nachts kalt war, gab es einen Radiator im Zimmer. So hatten wir es kuschelig warm. Wir lieben die ruhige Nachbarschaft und das Viertel, auch wenn es in die Souks etwas weiter zu laufen ist. Aber es gibt Taxis ganz in der Nähe. Wir kommen wieder, denn wir fühlen uns wohl. Herzlichen Dank an das Team.

Very close to interesting things outside of the Medina. Lovely places to sit and relax inside the property. Very helpful and informative staff. Excellent food!
Not a bad thing to say about this place
Très bon séjour dans ce Riad. Chambre propre et confortable. Ayoub est très accueillant et disponible. L’emplacement est idéal.
RAS
Excellent accueil du jeune Abdul. Adresse très belle et bien située dans la kasbah. Super petit dej.
Le Riad était très agréable et le personnel très gentil.
La taille des chambres un peu petite et surtout le fait que le Riad était collé aux hauts parleurs de la mosquée voisine ( réveil tous les matins à 6h30 malgré les boules quies!) Pour les gens qui veulent dormir le matin, c’est à prendre en compte
We spent three wonderful days at Riad Azawan and truly enjoyed every moment of our stay. The riad is beautifully and quietly located in the southern part of the medina, the beds are very comfortable, and the breakfast is fantastic — with the best coffee we had during our ten days in Morocco. Above all, Ayoub, the heart of the riad, took such kind, helpful, and patient care of us and shared many interesting stories and insights. We thank Ayoub and the entire team at Riad Azawan from the bottom of our hearts for a truly lovely stay!
very helpful owner, small but clean and comfortable room
First off, Ayoub was an amazing host! However, as a first time Africa traveler from America there were some things worth mentioning. I’m unsure if these things are normal for riads, but we noticed them. The room we stayed in (the only room on the entry level floor) has very little privacy. (The upper rooms had more.) It directly adjoins the interior courtyard where breakfast and dinner are served, and there are two windows (admittedly with covers you can’t see through) (one in the bathroom and one next to the bed.) these do…. nothing to block any sounds. Ayoub was very respectful in trying to keep the other guests quiet, but you still heard everyone entering and exiting the Riad. The entire place was very clean except for the sealant around the bathroom sink. You must take extremely short showers as the hot water runs out in a few minutes. The location was perfect if you want to be away from the noises of the main square! It is far enough from the main bustle to be quiet except the next door mosque’s call to prayer daily, but close enough you can get to the main square in twenty to thirty minutes depending on your walking speed. I would come here again, but stay in one of the quieter and more private upstairs rooms. And definitely take Ayoub up on a breakfast and/or dinner! Be aware that there is a 5 euro per night (for us as a couple) city tourism (?) “tax” that you pay afterwards. We think this is normal as google says it was. Plenty of places to exchange money around.
The guy was super nice and helpful, available when needed and paying attention that we were always having what we needed and feeling welcome. He showed us the way in the confusing streets to make sure we arrived safely and recommended us a lot of restaurants and places to visit. We came at the end of December and it was very cold outside, so we appreciated the heating in the room and bathroom!! The rooftop súper for having a coffee under the sun and views to the Atlas!
It is dark, as it is designed for coping with hot weather. Not so accommodated for winter time, but they have heating and blankets in the room and it was alright and cozy! Breakfast is high in carbs. Little vegetable option.
Choukran Ayoub !!! Gentillesse, disponibilité et générosité dans ce joli Riad plein de charme au coeur du quartier de la Kasbah.
Excelente servicio, Ayoub siempre fue muy amable y muy atento a todo lo que necesitábamos, aunque no nos entendíamos bien con el idioma 😂 siempre nos ayudó en lo que necesitábamos. Repetiríamos sin dudar!
Nada, todo estuvo perfecto.
We found everything fantastic. We wish our stay could have been longer, but we had a scheduled tour, so it was only a quick one night stay and left before breakfast. The host was so kind and made us a great breakfast to take with us in our trip! The call to prayer is loud, but we were up already.
We found everything amazing and we’re so glad we stayed.
Localisation parfaite pour une immersion culturelle et traditionnelle. Ayoub, l'hôte, est incroyable: en plus d'être très agréable et ouvert d'esprit, il nous enseigne la culture de son pays, ses traditions et est d'une grande aide quand il y en a besoin. Riad propre, plutôt intimiste
El desayuno era muy completo, todos los días nos guardábamos un poco para almorzar y si por tema de excursiones no puedes desayunar en el Riad, te lo prepara para llevar.
Fuimos en diciembre y en el patio para desayunar hacia frío, no estaría de más poner una estufa de aire ese rato para templar. Aun así en la habitación había un radiador de aceite que dejándolo puesto al mínimo calentaba la habitación y se mantenía. (En la habitación se esta bien, pero en el resto de la casa hay que ir con abrigo) Hay una mezquita en frente del Riad, por lo que la llamada a la oración de la madrugada se escucha bastante... Al final uno se acaba acostumbrando... :)
La colazione fatta in riad molto buona, varia e gustosa. Il ragazzo che ci ha accolto e seguito in entrambi i giorni è stato gentilissimo e molto disponibile
La colazione presa da portar via scarsa e poco pratica (es: yogurt senza cucchiaino, neanche una bottiglietta di acqua o succo. Consiglio personale; aggiungete qualcosa di liquido alla colazione da asporto. La chiamata alla preghiera è proprio sulla riad, al mattino ci si sveglia presto
