Riad ia clean with lovely decor, there is a cute rooftop terrace perfect for some downtime. The staff are lovely and friendly. Breakfast is fresh bakes from local bakery which is lovely. The wifi is patchy keep that in mind if you need to keep in touch, for me i enjoyed the social media check out. Also because its a riad can be a little chilly in winter.

The Room was clean, the Riad itself looks Amazing on the pics but definitely needs a little bit of a TLC a refresh would bring it up to date again. The Aesthetics do stand out someone has really put some heart and soul into the design and look.
What really makes the experience good is the Staff, they are a wonderful Team always smiling and helpful. The Breakfast was good way to start the day.

I had a lovely stay at the Riad Awa , the staff was exception ( they go above and beyond for their guests ), the Riad is located in the edge of the kabash , everything is within walking distance (restaurants , attractions , access to taxis ) . It is a nice quiet oasis away from the hustle of the city .

If I ever go back to Marrakesh , I will stay here again .

Riad Awa is a lovely traditional building and very peaceful amidst the chaos of Marrakech and the staff are very helpful. The decor is starting to look a bit tired and could do with some tlc.

Rooms are a bit tired but clean enough.
Take a padlock. I did not appreciate returning to Riad after an afternoon out to see the door and windows to my room on the G floor left wide open with all my bags etc easily on display. Not good. Ground floor rooms are noisy as you get woken by the staff screeching and playing on phones in the kitchen making breakfast. Ruins the ambience. Wouldn’t stay again.

Lovely Riad in a quiet but convenient location. The room was large and had a lovely decor but no padlocks available for the rooms and no option to choose your own safe code. Breakfast options were limited and only available at 9am - yogurt and bread with jams. WiFi was very poor and didn’t work at all in the room. Nothing was explained when we checked in - eg when breakfast was, or how to access the Riad (they preferred us to use the doorbell rather than knock if we returned late to avoid waking other guests, which is reasonable but helpful to be told this first). Maybe a little print out guide in a few languages would be helpful

Love this location as it was close to the entrance of the medina so getting a taxi with all our luggage was easy inconvenient and we didn’t have to walk a long way at all to get our things to this Medina. The staff was friendly. The rooms were really comfortable and we couldn’t be happier with or stay there.
One of the reviews said there were no locks on the outside of the door, which is true but they do provide a padlock with key and it’s so safe that I wouldn’t even worry about that. Would highly recommend this place.

Iv stayed here before and as always staff are excellent and very kind people. Although the riad is beautiful they do need to deep clean it including light shades lamps and curtains as they were very dusty. A different washing powder and less of it should be used to wash sheets as the one they have makes the bedding smell. Tissues and handwash was not replenished when needed or asked for. Breakfast was the same everyday consisting of bread choco pain jam and butter, tea and coffee. This needs to be reviewed. The riad and customers would benefit from an evening meal being offered at a cost as food in the medina is very poor.

Not really the best room in the Riad

We stayed in the exclusive suite. Beautiful decor - lots of space - large bathroom and Superking bed

The only issue was noise.

The room is beneath the rooftop pool and the noise from the pool circulation pump was dreadful - it was normally switched on around breakfast time until around 6pm - but on one occasion was switched on at 7am making sleep impossible. Not a relaxing place to be during the daytime

We were there 4 days and one day the pool was being refilled and, again, the noise from this was unbearable when in the room

There was also street noise until around midnight though, to be honest, we had expected that

The drench shower was not working when we arrived and took 2 days to repair. We were offered use of the staff facilities whilst waiting repair but chose to muddle through with the handheld shower

Breakfast was lovely and location was good - about 10 min walk to Place Djemaa El Fna

Beautiful riad and amazing staff

Lovely Riad, matches the whole vibe of Marrakesh. Room was comfortable and spacious. The upstairs balcony was lovely and had a pool and benches for sunbathing. Staff were lovely and very accommodating and there was breakfast included every morning when you were ready. Only thing I would mention is the hot water ran out quite quickly, it’s fine if you go during summer but during March, it can be a little chilly.

Road Awa is lovely, it's beautifully designed and presented. The only negative feedback is the acoustics made me feel a bit awkward. It's very quiet. In the room there were gaps around windows and cupboard doors didn't fit in frames so didn't provide any soundproofing buffer. Given that people breakfasted just outside my window it felt a bit weird. Also, the call to prayer was very loud at 4 and5am. I think some small adjustments woule make all the difference.

As it was our first time staying at a Riad we really weren't sure what to expect however staying a Riad Awa was an absolute pleasure.

Staff were always very friendly and accommodating towards us.

At short notice they allowed us to change breakfast times due to excursions.
The room was tended to daily with fresh towels etc
Tea was also on offer whenever you fancied it with no bill thrown at you afterwards

The Riad itself was exceptionally clean tidy and peaceful with the only one regret that the weather wasn't good enough for us to enjoy the sun on the roof.

Location wise I genuinely think we were perfectly placed surrounded with popular cafes and the mosque that just so happens to be a very popular places for a pick up point when it comes to excursions.
There was around a 10-15min walk to the main square leading towards the souks with ATMS and cafes on route and also thinking about it were mostly away from the hustle & bustle of the main square which was quite nice as it can get a little intense near the square at times.

I would highly recommend staying at Riad Awa and would definitely return to this Riad if we were to return in the future

First, staying at the Riad places you in the middle of Marrakech madness, but the Riad Awa is a delight recluse from the chaos. It is cool, quiet, and seemingly teleports you to another place. Only 6 rooms, it is pleasantly small but the rooms are set over two floors encircling an interior courtyard.

The property came with several inconveniences:
- The shower is not isolated, the two of us were not a couple so it was awkward for one of us to take a shower
- The “double bed” was not a double bed, it was less than 2m in length
- The wifi did not reach the room at all
- The room had no windows to outside
- The host did not speak any English so it was difficult for us to communicate

The good things:
- Beautiful decor
- Clean rooms
- The location was good

Great location…you’re not located in the crazy part which is really nice. Walking distance to a strip of restaurants and where all the street food is located. Close taxi ride to Medina. We walked there it wasn’t too bad but we enough walking. But lots of cars to look out for
The riad is little hard to find at first but it was night time and I think that’s normal in marrakesh. But once we found it, we never got lost . There’s a parking lot just about a 5 min walk from the riad. We paid him 10 euros for 2 nights. We probably over paid but we got in late and had been traveling for over 20 hours so we didn’t care.
The man who greeted us was very polite and kind offered us some tea and cookies when we arrived. Our room was very clean and big. It was a little nosey cause our room was just outside the common area but wasn’t a big deal to us.
The Terrance with pool on the roof was very cute. Breakfast was very good, the ladies there are also very kind and friendly. Would recommend 100 percent to anyone coming to Morocco. It was our first time to Morocco and loved it.

This hotel understands the concept of service and does it right the first time. It was one of the most comfortable hotels I have stayed in for the last 10 years. The Staff added a omelet for breakfast when asked, the rooms were huge and clean- the roof patio a gem.

Friendly, helpful staff.
Clean and well kept rooms with air con unit in our room that made all the difference so we slept eell and could keep cool in the afternoons when it was too hot outside.
Beautiful roof terrace with a swimming pool.
Breakfast served with fresh bread, crossants, fruit, orange juice, yogurt and a local dish.
Lovely communal areas.
We arrived at midnight due to a delayed flight and was welcomed with fresh mint tea and a very cheerful member of staff.

Cute Clean Riad in a great location

We stayed at Riad Awa for 4 nights. The riad was very clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was served on the terrace, which was great. They gave us a map on our first day and gave us good advice regarding local restaurants. The only issue we had was the low wall partition between the bedroom and ensuite bathroom. we didn't feel comfortable with that but apart from that 10/10.

Nice riad in good location

Had a great time at the riad! The staff were great and very helpful! They had very yummy breakfasts! Loved the Moroccan pancakes :) had a great hammam experience and the staff helped arrange taxis and excursions! The taxi to and from riad was pretty expensive and the mosque is next door so be prepared for the early morning wake up call! Very good experience :)

Le riad est situé dans la cashah, au sud de la Médina. La place Djemaa El Fna se trouve à 15-20 mn à pied. Le quartier est calme mais nous avons été un peu déçus. Déjà, les photos ne correspondent pas (ou plus) à la réalité. Nous avons trouvé la maison un peu triste, les tapis, canapés et coussins de la pièce principale sont défraichis.
La chambre était correcte mais pareil un peu défraichie. Il manque une table basse ou bureau ou tablette pour pouvoir déposer un plateau de thé, livres, téléphone.... La salle de bains est de bonne taille avec une belle douche mais même chose, pas grand chose pour poser les produits de toilette et trousses, juste un petit tabouret sous le lavabo. Une tablette serait nécessaire. Les peignoirs étaient déchirés et/ou tachés. La terrasse est agréable mais manque également d'un bon entretien : plantes, sol, coussins...
Le personnel est charmant et le petit déjeuner très bien.
Nous ne retournerons pas dans ce riad.
