As others have shared, the structure and design are nice. We felt like our room was a refuge from the chaotic town. It felt elegant, yet on a budget.The courtyard was small and there is no pool, but you can't have it all at this price.It was well, but not perfectly, maintained (black mold on the bathroom ceiling).Our room was spacious. We saw other rooms that are smaller, but they had much bigger bathrooms- so it is a trade-off.Rooftop was nice. Peaceful area of the old town- yet a bit of a walk to get food and the like. Staff was friendly enough. Breakfast was just coffee and breads. Most of all, they were honest in their pricing and didn't play any money games- which is not always assured in Marrakech. (We had a bad experience with our previous Riad, and moved here because of it).If the price is reasonable when you are booking- grab it.

Being honest, we booked to stay in Medina without much research. New to Morocco or North Africa, we were pretty green. In short, we needed a bit of looking...

Being honest, we booked to stay in Medina without much research. New to Morocco or North Africa, we were pretty green. In short, we needed a bit of looking after! The staff at Riad Origines certainly did that. They booked us a great guide to the area on our first morning, an excellent excursion to the Atlas Mountains, they fed us great tagines, and got us out of a scrape when another self-appointed 'guide' walked us to the door and then expected significant payment as a result! The team here are kind and diligent - the Riad itself is clean, relaxing, has great mint tea and a lovely roof terrace where you really feel above the city. We really recommend the establishment.As hinted, we did not always find the area itself easy. Yes it is exciting to be 'authentic' but you do need to know, as we should have, that it's easy to get lost and that any pause to take bearings or check a map will instantly draw offers of 'help', always with the expectation of payment if in any way taken. Outside of this, while hospitality was beyond reproach inside any restaurant, shop etc, there was a lot of being stared at and sized up on the streets. Neither do the taxis go as far as the Riad so the last half km always has to be walked (although motorbikes certainly do nip round the narrow streets and alleys - sometimes at high speed!).Chances are, if you're reading this, you already know a lot of this. If you're up for life in Medina, then Riad Origines will be your best possible hosts.

The location of the riad is not as central as some of the other in the city, so I would certainly advise booking an airport transfer when you arrive as the winding narrow streets prove impossible for cars to drive down after a certain point. The city is beautiful and a fun place to visit, but if you find the chaotic nature of the streets a little overwhelming then I would certainly recommend a stay in this riad. The streets are much more peaceful and despite a couple of other riads dotted about, the area is much more residential and 'off the beaten track'- we felt safe walking around even later into the evenings and you are much less likely to get hassled to buy things around this area (only a few shops.) One piece of advice- ignore any kids/teenagers telling you that you can't go down certain streets because of the mosques. They only want to swindle you into paying for directions!It's a short 15-20 minute walk from the start of the souks and a 25 min walk from the main square, the owner helpfully walking us down to a intersection and told us directions to various areas so we could get our bearings on the first day. The riad itself was very tastefully decorated, traditional but with a contemporary twist. Our room was a smaller size, but our jazzy mirrored bathroom made up for that (and with such a beautiful roof terrace to hang out in, you won't want to spending too much time in your room except to sleep.) If you were staying at the riad for more than a couple of days, the breakfast might become a little repetitive (it's the same breads/pancakes each morning) but all in all this riad is well worth the price we paid.

Our stay at Riad Origines was made very pleasant by out two hosts and the additional staff at the riad. The level of service was very high and the staff was extremely helpful both regarding booking of restaurants, transport, massage and day trips. The Riad was at all times kept very clean and nice. The bathrooms are all different and vary in terms of the degree of privacy, but they are all nice decorated A very good experience and we can only recommend this place for its good position and the welcoming and helpful staff.

The staffs are extremely helpful and friendly. They did everything for us above and beyond. Not only organizing all the activities, reservations, transportation, my birthday party, performers, delicious meals but also help us shopping and exploring the city. I really feel like the princess at the riad like home. Thank you so so much for the wonderful week and we will be back! <3

This fantastic Little Hotel tucked down a little back Street is about a 20 minute walk from the main souks and square. There's nowhere to park, so hiring a car is not a good idea. The staff were fantastic and will meet you from the drop off point, as well as take you there for any planned activities. They will also book these for you. On arrival, they gave us a couple of maps of the city and gave us a few tips to save us some money/keep us safe.The roof terrace is a lovely little place to relax, as is the little court yard pool. The food in the hotel must be ordered in advance but is very tasty and filling. The spa treatments must also be booked in advance but are well worth it. Will definitely visit again if we come back to Marrakech!Thanks for a great time guys!

Adil and Saed were just wonderful. My friend and I went for a weekend getaway, and we had the best time. Everything was spotless, food was delicious and the staff were so helpful! We were given directions and explanations, felt like royalty. We booked our excursions through the Riad, as well as our spa treatments. There is literally nothing I could complain about and would highly recommend this lovely place for your trip. Located close to the Souks and taxis, pretty much everything is in walking distance. THank you Adil and Saed for takign such good care of us! :)

The staff are fantasticThe place is really really cleanOf course on Marrakesh you get hassled to buy hash or someone wants to show you around and expects to get paid , but that’s just part and parcel . It is on a tiny street but I didn’t really feel threatened in any way. Just a bit hassled now and again.We loved it , it was a little oasis in the middle of the crazy Medina . Food was great rooms were great. The terrace was amazing . Well worth a visit really gorgeous . This is not the four seasons or Mandarin oriental it is a beautiful Riad, worth a visit, all people we spoke to who stayed here loved it. It has just 5 rooms.
