Riad Aicha Marrakech

Located inside the walls of the city (medina), in its oldest part, it’s perfectly placed for its proximity to Jemaa El-Fnaa. Loek is the perfect host: accommodating, patient and wonderfully chatty and knowledgeable about the city; appropriately supported by lovely staff. Breakfast, always served in the terrace, was the ideal start to the day. Loek would mingle with guests and we met several interesting people. Evenings, in the peaceful terrace, were the perfect wind down after the buzz of exploring the city. We had a fantastic time at Riad Aicha.

After enduring a 10-hour car ride, we were excited to check in, shower, and go to bed. However, our enthusiasm quickly dissipated upon entering. The entire establishment felt worn-out and outdated, lacking the charm and sophistication we had anticipated. Despite booking the family room, which boasted four beds, we were dismayed to discover that the bathroom and toilet were without doors. This lack of privacy and hygiene standards left us feeling cramped and uncomfortable, questioning the adequacy of the accommodation. Despite our exhaustion and the absence of alternative lodging options or access to Wi-Fi for booking, we made the difficult decision to leave. The riad, managed by only one elderly gentleman, gave off more of a hostel vibe than the upscale riad experience we had hoped for. We share our experience not to dwell on the negative, but to caution future guests. Everyone deserves a comfortable and pleasant stay, and unfortunately, this riad did not meet those expectations. We sincerely advise others to explore alternative accommodations in Marrakesh.

We stayed at Riad Aicha for a few nights. The room was great, very clean and a very comfortable bed. Sadly lacking a kettle which as tea addicts we now realise is non negotiable for us, but no big deal. The location was within walking distance to the main square and markets. Slightly disappointed that the advertised pool is empty and isn't available all year round. Breakfast was basic and you sat with the owner and his guest - which is okay just different/unexpected maybe. On the last day we felt a little like we were being asked to leave early after breakfast so they could clean. We then bumped into the owner whilst waiting for a taxi. He said oh you are still waiting, we said yes and that we were being followed by the local kids who relentlessly ask you for money and felt uncomfortable, he said goodbye then and wandered off. Mixed bag review.

This is an absolutely beautiful riad owned and run by a lovely Dutch guy. It’s a little way out of the centre of the medina but that makes the area more authentic and less touristy. The locals were poor but so friendly. This was a wonderful base from which to explore the madness of Marrakesh but also a place to return to and relax in peace and comfort.

Beatiful Riad in a genuine backstreet of Marrakesh. If you want the full authentic experience come here. Amazing views from the extensive roof terrace.

Small and nice traditional hotel, the owner is very nice and friendly, the lady who works there was great with a beautiful smile always on her face. Good experience in general.

Amazing riad! From the room to the staff to the location, you can’t get any better than this place. One of the best places I’ve ever stayed. I would highly recommend this riad to my friends and family.

Es dificil tomar transporte

Juste une nuitée

Eine Süsse, bunte, gemütliche Unterkunft, in einer ruhigen Seitenstraße. In 5 Minuten ist man mitten im Geschehen, wir haben alles zu Fuss erreichen können, ansonsten in der Nähe am Babaylen Taxi oder Tuc Tuc Möglichkeit. Gutes Frühstück, Luk der Chef hilft bei allen Anliegen schnell und unkompliziert. Sehr familiäre Atmosphäre. Alles in allem eine schöne Unterkunft in der Medina. Transfer zum und vom Airport wird von Unterkunft angeboten, ausserdem Ausflüge,, und Tipps für Unternehmungen. Vielen Dank für alles, wir haben uns wohl gefühlt.

Luc est un hôte charmant qui accueille avec tact et sincérité. Nous y sommes allés en famille et c'était une excellente première fois

It was really nice Riad in the old part of the city. Most of the things were in the walking distance. The owner was really nice and helpfull with a lot of valuable tips we did not know before. I would really recommend Riad Aicha!

Propriétaire tres gentil charme du vrai riad marocain . Situer au sud de la medina loin du coin touristique. Une belle facon de voir marrakech.

Une mention toute spéciale à Zarah pour son excellente cuisine, sa gentillesse et sa disponibilité.

Calme parfait, serviabilité de Zahra, rapport qualité prix correct, je recommande

We want to thank the owner for making our trip extremely smooth and easy. I recommend this riad for everybody!

l stayed 4 nights and l had a very good experience ther. The owner was really nice and helpful and he had breakfast together with us every morning. He made it feel like your home. l will for sure come back one day! Thanks!

Il riad è carino ma si trova in una zona della Medina abbastanza periferica. Siamo arrivati di sera tardi e non abbiamo trovato le cena pronta come era stato concordato col proprietario del riad. Siamo stati accompagnati a prendere del cibo in strada quando avremmo preferito cenare con calma in riad dopo il viaggio... Buona la colazione e la cena della sera successiva.
