Riad Ailen

Riad affascinante e tranquillo con personale adorabile. Camere naturalmente vecchie, pulite e abbastanza spaziose per noi 2 viaggiatori. Letti molto comodi, la doccia era un po' capricciosa con l'acqua calda. La colazione con pane fresco o pancake era buona. Una volta abbiamo chiesto una cena, che era marocchina, abbondante e deliziosa. Abbiamo apprezzato soprattutto il personale accogliente, disponibile e sempre sorridente. Grazie mille per alcuni ricordi meravigliosi a Marrakech!

Absolutely could not recommend enough! At first I was really concerned due to the walk from the taxi drop off to the hotel and lots of alley ways and hardly any English people around, but I’m used to holidays in Tenerife so was very different for me! The staff were absolutely amazing and couldn’t do enough for you, breakfast was delicious and fresh every morning, the sun terrace was a nice place to relax and chill! There’s no restaurants around but if you’re hungry there is a shop round the corner selling snacks and the staff will order you a Pizza Hut if you give them the money. She sorted out our excursion for us aswell which was quad biking and camel riding in the desert with dinner and a show, 100% recommend that too! Rooms were a nice size with a safe and AC

Amazing hosts, very welcoming, breakfast was divine, all fresh, room had AC a beautiful bathroom, very comfortable bed. It was a 15 minute walk to the main square, not many restaurants close by but many in a walkable distance. I can’t recommend the hospitality of the hosts enough. Absolutely loved every minute.

The riad is a haven in the madness that is Marrakech, it is so quiet . The rooms are old (naturally) but are kept very clean the bed is very comfortable and made every day , clean towels everyday and absolutely nothing is too much trouble for Hassna, Abdul and Niama ( apologies for any incorrect spelling) Tie breakfast though basic is fresh everyday and includes baguette , and pastries of the area with jam , honey and butter. Tea or coffee and fresh orange juice . We chose to eat at the riad as well the meals were three courses a salad or dips to start with fresh bread a meat course from tagine with potatoes and vegetables or couscous and dessert of fresh fruit or fruit puree /mousse all delicious and homemade by the staff. The meals were €12 per person and was more than you can eat We hired a taxi to take us to Carrefour to stock up on alcohol which was handy as no one nearby sells even beer or wine ( which of course was expected) The area of the riad was a bit too hectic for us and we chose to take a taxi to the attractions after a couple of days of continuous hassling and being followed by random men despite telling them we didn’t need any help All in all was an experience we met some lovely humble people and would recommend the Riad Ailen

Wonderful. I was made welcome like i was a visitor not a guest. Hassna and Niama made me feel like a friend from the start, they were warm, friendly and inviting making me feel very comfortable. My room was lovely with complimentary ac which was great. The whole place was spotless. There was a roof terrace with tables and chairs, loungers and a tent like covered area,it had beautiful plants so was a really relaxing place to sit and soak up the sun. Both Hassna and Niama were really chatty, Hassna speaks both english and french and while i do speak french it was nice to have the option. Breakfast was exactly what i wanted, and i was even given a jar of homemade fig jam that Niama had made to take home. The riad is about 2.5 km from Jemaa el-Fna square but its a pretty straight forward walk. I took photos of my route incase i got lost, but if you have a problem any of the locals will help, you may need to speak french though. I would have no hesitation in recommending Riad Ailen it was fabulous and some place i will definately make a return visit to, after all i now have two friends there called Hassna and Niama 🥰🥰🥰 i arrived as a stranger and left as a friend .
