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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.
