Hotel description
The 19th century Riad Ayadina is located alongside the ramparts of Marrakesh, with beautiful decoration and high quality service. The hotel stands on the foundations of the former Ayadi Palace, which dates back to the 19th century, where the Caïd Ayadi (1880-1964) lived there with his courtesans, his harem of twenty wives, and many children. The part of the palace where the Riad Ayadina is located was previously used by the Caïd’s favourite guests and the basement used as a prison. Now transformed into a guest house, the Riad Ayadina offers pure moments of relaxation within walls full of history.
Riad Ayadina has five suites and three rooms, each with refined decoration featuring silk, lace, antique furniture and lithographs, with European, Eastern and African influences. It also has three living rooms and three different patios. For relaxation, guests can enjoy the hammam, the massage room and the Jacuzzi. The terrace offers a great view over Marrakesh.
Location
Riad Ayadina is very well located at just 15 minutes walk from Marrakesh's famous Jemaa el Fna square, Souks and Medina. A few minutes away is the Palmeraie golf course, and the hotel is very easily accessible by car.

"The staff is very very friendly but the only problem is that only one person in this riad speaks any english. Which was a little disturbing to us who didn't speak any word of french."
Kuparinen R. - Finland - 26-Feb-09 -
"Maravilloso, tanto por su privilegiada situación como por su decoración. Personal de una amabilidad digna de resaltar. Increíble el Hamman y deliciosos los desayunos. El mejor Riad, sin duda, para alojarse en Marrakech, y más atractivo que cualquier hotel. Si el viaje es con pareja... se convierte en el sueño de las mil y una noches. Reservaré allí en mis siguientes estancias."
ITZIAR P. - Spain - 28-Jan-09 -
"We loved staying at Riad Ayadina - the furnishings and the service were 5 star. The location is excellent with regards to access - ie: it is just inside the Medina however it is a bit of a distance from the main square. We enjoyed spending our time in the Riad, it is extremely comfortable and beautiful."
Jasmine F. - United Kingdom - 08-Jan-09 -
"Great place with extraordinary rooms and public areas. Very friendly and helpfull people. Intercontinental breakfast without any special traditional character unlike the rest of the riad"

"It's a beautiful Riad and we had a lovely time staying there. Hussain was particularly helpful and we'd recommend this Riad to all those who prefer boutique hotels."
Ada W. - United Kingdom - 26-May-08 -
"Un sejour maginifique dans un cadre aux détails particulièrement soignés. La qualité et le professionnalisme du personnel sont irréprochables."
Marianne B. - France - 15-Apr-08 -
"Magnífico, un poco apartado dentro de la medina, pero ideal para una escapada. Servicio impecable, habitaciones espaciosas y muy bien decoradas, excelente atención por parte de la dueña. Imprescindible reservar taxi desde aeropuesto primer dia, coordinado con la dueña del Riad, para evitar que te dejen tirado en las puertas adyacentes de la medina. Absolutamente recomendable."
Jose maria C. - Spain - 24-Mar-08 -

Saiqa S. - United Kingdom - 26-Feb-08 -
