Kiváló tulajdonos,finom reggeli, segítőkész tulajdonos.
Amine es muy amable y el lugar estaba muy bien, concordaba totalmente con lo que esperábamos. El aire acondicionado funcionaba correctamente, el baño estaba bien equipado y nos cambiaron las toallas. Todos los días teníamos un gran desayuno local. Muy recomendable.
Por decir algo, la habitación era un poco oscura
Très calme, bien accueilli et service excellent
Tout était parfait honnêtement
The location and staff! It was also clean!
Breakfast was same every day. Also the room is not very airy. The lights isn’t good either!
Nos gusto el trato y la cercanis y su disposicion por ayudar en todo momento. repetiriamos sin duda
nos habria gustado mucho una mayor adaptabilidad a la hora del desayuno ya que algunas excursiones las teniamos temprano o al menos que la maquina autonoma de cafe pudiera funcionar y asi no hacerles trabajar
Todo perfecto! Lugar limpio y en el centro de la medina.
Los anfitriones Amin y Shana, son los mejores, muy simpáticos, atentos y agradables. El desayuno muy bueno y abundante. La habitación estaba muy limpia. El baño de primer nivel también. El sitio es muy bonito por dentro, aunque por fuera no lo parezca. Es muy tranquilo, no hay ruido y entra mucha luz al patio interior. 100% recomendable.
No hay nada que me haya disgustado. La cama era un poco dura pero personalmente a mi no me molesta eso. Entiendo que a otras personas puede que sí.
La struttura è molto centrale all’interno della Medina e alla piazza centrale ma allo stesso tempo lontana dal caos della sera. È molto pulita e le stanze sono molto silenziose. Ci sono tutti i comfort e la colazione è abbondante e molto buona. Il personale è gentilissimo e molto disponibile.
Me gustó que nos alojaramos en un lugar típico marroquí para vivir la experiencia de lleno. El patio interior, donde desayunabamos, un lugar muy luminoso y cálido, la fuente encendida y la música lo hacían aún más especial. El dormitorio super amplio, limpio y linda decoración. El personal muy amable y atento.
El desayuno me pareció bien, aunque sugiero que se varíe de día a día o que incluyan algo de frutas, hummus, huevo o babaganush.
The couple running the Riad were lovely! They always had a smile for you and were as accommodating as they could be. It was raining heavily one evening and I was lent an umbrella. They also picked me up from the taxi, which they arranged to and from the airport, and returned me on departure. No problem checking out late too with no extra cost. The courtyard space between the rooms is wonderful having breakfast, especially when the water feature is switched on. The breakfast was only 7 euros and I always looked forward to it in the courtyard: fresh orange juice, coffee, mint tea, pancake and breads with a selection of honey; delicious almond dip, jam as well as butter & cheese. The room was spacious and charmingly traditional morrocan riad style. The on suit bathroom was lovely too with morrocan style tilling.
My room was window facing onto the main medina path so it wasn't so quiet. I like the windows open so I put ear blocks in. The wifi wasn't as strong as I would have liked. I had to move my mobile to catch a better signal at times. Also if I'm being mega fussy the room was rather dark, but this is in the style of the traditional morrocan riad so I appreciate that. I had to use my phone torch at times though. A communal kettle for tea coffee herbal tea etc would be a useful addition for evenings or early mornings.
Staff was very friendly, room was nice and clean, breakfast was good!
It was very beautiful. We liked the layout of the twin bedroom. The lighting was poor but maybe typical of many old places in Morocco. Clothing storage was very ample. Bathroom was well designed and water was hot. Host was helpful when we got lost in the Medina.
Smell of cigarette smoke in the evening. There was no accommodation for missing breakfast; even with advance notice. Some places provide a bagged breakfast if your day begin before breakfast time.
Otroligt väl städat och trevliga värdar. Bra frukost.
Posizione ottima, colazione buona e pulizia impeccabile. Ogni giorno la ragazza si occupava di sistemare il bagno e faceva in modo che, al nostro rientro, in camera si respirasse sempre un’aria fresca e piacevole. L’ospitalità è stata davvero cordiale e accogliente. Consigliato! C' é sia il riscaldamento che un piumone in camera. Il Phon non manca neanche!
.
La tranquilidad, el personal muy atento, agradable y servicial. Algo retirado del centro, también de ahí su precio respecto a otros Riad. Está un poco escondido por lo que el primer día cuesta encontrarlo. Por dentro es magnífico y sus desayunos muy ricos.
El colchón es duro algo que personalmente no me desagrada, pero hay gente que le pueda incomodar a la hora de descansar.
Buona posizione. L'host sempre presente in struttura e molto disponibile. Il giorno della nostra partenza si è alzato alle 4 di mattina per accompagnarci al taxi.
Struttura molto carina e pulita, lo staff é super gentile e disponibile. Per un paio di sere ha piovuto, ci hanno dato gli ombrelli oltre a stamparci le carte d’imbarco per il ritorno. La prima volta sarà disorientante arrivarci ma non è troppo dentro la medina, giusto 5/6 minuti a piedi dalla grande piazza Jamaa El Fna il che é perfetto. Il secondo giorno già non avevano bisogno del navigatore per arrivarci, nonostante le stradine della medina siano tutte uguali. Vi consiglio vivamente questo alloggio perché non peccata in nulla, neanche nella pulizia. L’unico consiglio é di aggiungere un po di luminosità all’interno delle stanze.
niente
Tutto molto pulito e ordinato, staff molto gentile
Le petit déjeuner était très bon et très copieux. Le riad est bien situé dans la médina,dans une rue calme, proche d'un arrêt de taxi, près des souks et de la place Jemaâ El Fna.Pas de bruit la nuit.
Le Riad est très agréable, au calme et bien situé dans la Médina. A 10 mn à pied de la place Jema El Fna. Amin vient nous chercher au point de rdv du taxi. Merci pour ce bel accueil et la convivialité de ce beau Riad. A recommencer. Karine
Rien
Alojamiento de 10. Amin, el anfitrión, muy amable muy amable y está pendiente de todo en cualquier momento. Se adapta a tus horarios de desayuno y también a los horarios de llegada. El desayuno muy buena cantidad y súper rico. La ubicación es de 10 está a 5 min de la Medersa y a 12 min de la Plaza Jmna Fna. Está muy limpio y cada día te cambian las toallas Sin duda volveríamos a repetir este alojamiento.
Nada, nos gustó todo.
Bien situé, dans la Médina
Des hôtes peu chaleureux et peu accueillants, une odeur de tabac dans la maison et dans les chambres, un petit déjeuner sans choix : pain beurre confiture, pas de fruits frais, pas de choix pour les boissons, peu de confort dans les chambres et les salles de bain.
The location is great near everything and the staff were really great and the breakfast was also amazing!
Within the room the lighting is pretty dim which made it hard to see sometimes.
Nagyon rendes és segítőkész házigazdák, jó elhelyezkedés, kifogásolhatatlan szoba, finom reggeli.
Kicsit sötét volt a szobában
pulizia e bagno nuovo
la luce in camera e il riscaldamento.
Me encanto la tranquilidad al entrar,el tamaño de la habitación,el baño reformado , la limpieza.Toallas limpias y secador.Desayuno basico pero hecho con amor.Fotos del Riad realistas nada engañosas.
No hay perchas en el armario.Muy dificil de encontrar el primer dia, como todos los Riads, podrian poner algún letrero.a media hora de la plaza pero el paseo no tiene desperdició,con mucha comida callejera buena y barata.Recomiendo la pizzeria de las fotos.
L’accueil, la gentillesse et l’attention du personnel. On s’y sent comme à la maison ! Petit déjeuner préparé avec amour et très frais!
Le manque de lumière . Sinon tout était ok
Ładny i czysty pokój zgodny ze zdjęciami. Chociaż na zewnątrz było zimno, w pokoju była klimatyzacja z funkcją grzania i ciepłe kołdry, więc w nocy zimno nie było odczuwalne. Ręczniki były regularnie zmieniane, a śmieci wynoszone. Aby wejść do budynku należy zakołatać, więc można przez to doświadczyć lokalnych tradycji, ale jest też dzwonek, w razie późniejszego powrotu. Śniadania bardzo dobre i bazujące na lokalnych produktach. W razie potrzeby była możliwa zmiana godziny śniadania na wcześniejszą. Bardzo miła obsługa - zawsze na miejscu i gotowa do pomocy.
The riad has a great location & the riad was small but very cute and pretty. Out rooms were clean and so was our bathroom. We had everything we needed in the rooms.
The room was a bit dark and not ad spacious. Also out room was facing the street and the room had thin walls. However, since the street was not busy we didnt mind that too much. But all in all we were quite happy.
De riad was prachtig ingericht, heel schoon en had een authentieke sfeer. Het personeel was ontzettend vriendelijk en behulpzaam, waardoor we ons meteen welkom voelden. Het ontbijt was uitgebreid en lekker, en de locatie was ideaal om de stad te verkennen.
Eigenlijk niets, alles was naar wens. Eventueel zou de wifi iets sterker mogen zijn in de kamer, maar dit was geen groot probleem.
Le Riad d Amine est un havre de paix dans la médina. Le petit déjeuner est très copieux, les chambres très bien. Amine est un super hôte et très arrangeant. On peut y aller les yeux fermés.
Excellent location very close to the heart of the Medina yet very peaceful. Staff were incredibly helpful doing everything possible to make for a lovely stay.
La posizione e la disponibilità e gentilezza del personale
Sin duda lo mejor el personal, de diez, siempre pendientes para todo lo que necesitáramos
We had a wonderful stay at Dar Aouinti. What we loved most was its location: close enough to the centre to reach everything easily, but far enough to escape the chaos of Marrakech. It felt calm and relaxing from the moment we arrived. The host, Amin, was incredibly friendly and welcoming, always available and clearly doing his best to make us feel at home. The riad itself was very quiet, and genuinely beautiful. It has a traditional, authentic atmosphere that makes the experience feel special rather than touristy. Airport transfers were arranged for us, which made everything much easier and stress-free. Breakfast was simple but delicious, exactly what you want to start the day, and the tea was excellent. Overall, Dar Aouinti is a charming, peaceful place with warm hospitality. We would happily stay there again and highly recommend it.
Nothing.
Struttura accogliente nel cuore di Marrakesh, in ottima posizione per esplorare la città. Il riad è arredato in stile tradizionale, con colori caldi e tipici che rendono l’atmosfera autentica e rilassante. Ideale per chi cerca un’esperienza marocchina immersiva. Il proprietario del riad, Amin,è stato davvero eccezionale: sempre disponibile, attento e cordiale. Ha accolto ogni nostra richiesta con gentilezza e si è premurato di accompagnarci personalmente per le stradine della medina fino al punto d’incontro con i taxi. La sua presenza ha reso il soggiorno ancora più piacevole e senza pensieri. Un vero punto di riferimento!

La struttura è perfetta!
Nulla, tutto perfetto!
Fantasztikus...tisztaság...rendben...békés szállás. Ajánlom
No
Ontbijt is redelijk, het is elke dag bijna hetzelfde. Locatie is goed het is 10 minuten lopen naar Jemaa el-fna
Good location in the medina. Close to the different touristic sites.
The owners were fantastic, very polite, accommodating and made me feel at ease. Useful tips for the city and helped me in any way they could including a great breakfast. I highly recommend you stay with them, I would again!
Bed was a bit hard for me
Gestore gentilissimo e sempre molto disponibile. Colazione ottima, con prodotti freschi e tipici. La posizione è ideale per visitare i principali punti di interesse e muoversi facilmente nei dintorni.
Tutto perfetto, solo la stanza potrebbe essere un po' più illuminata.
Great location in the middle of the medina, very nice and friendly service. Good breakfast. Room and facilities were okay, not great but not bad either. Wifi worked well.
Bedsheets were rough, facilities were basic.
Great location, clean, an oasis in the hustle and bustle of the medina. Our host Amin was helpful and kind. Nothing was too much trouble. We could not recommend him more. We will definitely return if we come to Marrakesh again. Thank you Amin.
We liked everything
Everything and friendly staff.
A little hard to find.
Sehr Freundliches und zuvorkommendes empfangen. Der Besitzer hat sich stehts darum gekümmert das alles gut verläuft. Das Zimmer war Sauber. Richtig gemütlich eingerichtet und auch sehr ruhige atmosphäre zum Schlafen. Das Frühstück war sehr Lecker und ausgewogen.
Bien ubicado, cerca de la plaza de la Medina. El personal, muy atento.
En general todo. Nos han tratado excepcionalmente, el dueño muy agradable y superatento en todo momento.
Nada. No hay ningún “pero” que poner
Muy bien situado dentro de la Medina. Recibimiento muy agradable.
Lo único malo es que el dueño no habla inglés, aún así entenderse fue fácil.
Amin and the staff were extremely friendly and hospitable throughout our stay! Great facilities and location.
10/10. No complaints whatsoever
Amine is the best possible host. He was always available and always friendly. The last day of my stay he personally led me to the nearby taxi stand and told me the price. (This was especially important, because when I got to the airport, the driver tried to increase the fare by 50%)
Room lighting was dim and greenish. Bedside table lamps with yellow lightbulbs would be a great improvement. I would also recommend getting rid of the metallic crocheted bed cover. It's lumpy and very very heavy.
The staff were very kind and helpful. The place smelled very nice and it's location is amazing. It's at the center of the city and 2 minutes away from the souks. It had a wondeful terrace, definitely would recommend watching the stars one night from the teracce.
The room and the bathroom was clean overall but could have been a little cleaner as there was sone clumped up dirt on the floor. But it was not a big deal, it was still clean overall.
Lovely clean riad, great location in the Medina, very friendly /helpful staff couldn't do enough for you, lovely breakfast. Great value.
Bed was a little firm for our liking.
Clean and lovely location!
Nice atmosphere Nice host Very convenient Great breakfast
Quite close to the center
Amin is very helpful .
Proximity to all touristic places Staff is really nice
I booked by mistake and when I contacted them to find a solution to cancel I didn’t get a reply so I went anyway because I wouldn’t get reimbursed… For the money I paid I could have found a better riad with at least breakfast Too much noise and the room could use a curtain on the small window (I had to put a scarf over it) Be careful too many scammers around the Riad, always saying the road is closed when it’s not…
Quiet central location
Bed quite hard Little natural light in the room In an area of narrow streets - cars can’t take you to the door but it’s a short walk
Staff were very helpful. Property depicts heritage.
The staff make you feel like home friendly and very helpful
The kindness of the staff
Charge an extra fee for arriving later than the check-in time
Amin is amazing! Definetely recommend staying in Dar Aouinti!
Décoration, stuff , location
Breakfast: no serials & not enough proteins (an egg would be fine). On the 3rd day we asked them for fresh fruits and the indeed starting serving them. In general too much sugar and white flower products Room was rather dark. Water in the bathroom would sink fast
It is in central Medina area but quite inside the narrow streets where one can only go on foot. Accessible to food outlets and market.
1. Breakfast options are limited, if you need anything else, you need to to extra 2. Room was quite small and no proper lighting 3. Only accessible on foot
Fantastic location, you can't get any better. Located in the old town, and easy to find. The service was really nice, lovely and caring people. The breakfast everymoring is amazing, we absolutely loved the Amlou! We couldn't find any as good for the rest of our time in Morocco! The shower drainage was a little slow but I think that is typical for the area. The room was serviced daily. We really enjoyed our stay, highly recommend! We'd love to stay again!
Loved our stay here, Dar Aouinti is in a great location, is the perfect space for two people and the breakfast was fantastic. Amazing hospitality, would recommend to anyone wanting to visit Marrakech
N/A
Our stay in the accommodation was perfect, very clean and comfortable. Amine was so welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. The bed was comfortable and our bathroom was large.
While our rad was amazing the Madina is not, it's a maze of alley ways with.men always looking to show you the big square or the tannery's DO NOT GO WITH THEM! It's a scam, they will say I'm not a guide no money but they will lead you away from the crowd and then demand money from you, they get very persistent and intimidating and are usually joined by a few fellow scammers. Another thing not to fall for is shopkeepers noticing you look a bit lost and shout at you lady remember me I work at your Rad I'll take you home. Only one young man worked at my accomodation and it was none of these men, again another way for them to lure you away from the main allys to scam money from you.
Very good location, decoration and comfort. We were very well received by Amine, who was always attentive and helpful. Very good breakfast with local products. I highly recommend
A very nice riad right in the heart of the Medina. The owner Amine was very hospitable and greeted us with tea upon arrival. He also picked us up from where our car dropped us off as cars can't always navigate the small alleys of the Medina. Amine was always friendly and gave us recommendations and directions during our first time in Marrakech. The breakfast is great as well and he beds were very comfy. Would stay again for sure!
The wifi didn't always work in the rooms but we were told that upon arrival and it wasn't a big deal.
The Riad is located in an excellent position in the old Medina and it is very clean and cozy. The breakfast is deliciuos and rich. A special thank to Amine, the host: he is really kind and satisfied every request I did. Super experience!
Only a 10min walk to the Jemma el-Fna Square. We had to leave really early in the morning but the stuff had no problem preparing the breakfast which was really tasty.
Truly local experience! Right in the heart of Medina when it comes to location, but very quiet and calm riad. Room was very comfortable. For us, the highlights were: 1. You get the opportunity to have breakfast with cute little birds flying around and looking at a beautiful sky view. 2. I would recommend not missing the terrace which is super nice as well. 3. Amine, which is the manager, was super helpful and friendly and a facilitator of the trip, so thank you Amine, we were really glad to meet you!
Wi-Fi failed us sometimes but nothing serious.
Fantastic neighborhood, good service. The staff takes good care of you and listens to your needs.
