The riad was beautiful and clean, the staff was friendly and helpful and the breakfast was very good. We really enjoyed our stay. The only defect is the location. It’s located in medina however not in it’s best part. The zone is not the safest, don’t let locals “help” you find a correct way in the narrow streets. We’ve been robbed once and offered “help” many times. Apparently it’s a common trick.

We were welcomed well at this riad and we were happy with the lovely modern decor that still follows Moroccon style. The room was comfortable for 3 people and the bathroom perfect. We did not use the internal pool though we sat on the terrace in the evenings and it was great. The neighborhood is fine though you can easily get lost if you don’t pay attention. The staff at the hotel were attentive too.

Marrakech can be bit daunting if you've never been; Riad Origines was a very good place to base ourselves. The staff (especially Yussef (may have spelt that wrong)) were very helpful, gave good tips on where to go and how to stay safe. They spoke English, French, Arabic and the Berber language well. Always happy to help. Particularly liked Yussef explaining to us to call the Berbers the Amazigh people (Berber being a rather unpleasant colonial name derived from the word barbarian).Hotel was visually very attractive (sort of highly modern Islamic design with open-roofed inner courtyard + pool, pillars, curtains, drapes etc, all very appealing and clean with mod cons), had a pool, good food, clean, attractive air-conditioned rooms, reasonable prices, wifi everywhere, a great roof terrace with lots of loungers and comfy seats.Geographically well positioned with good access to the old and new parts of the city, not far to walk or taxi to pretty much all tourist destinations. They also offered excellent guides (reasonably priced) to show you round the city if you like; our guide Hussain was knowledgeable, friendly, wise and had great language skills.The reservation/booking arrangements all went flawlessly, no problems/errors/delays checking in or anything like that.Can strongly recommend for families/couples/anyone else.

Went above and beyond to welcome us, driving me around the market to find the best place for new luggage and helping negotiate with the parking guys nearby. Clean, spacious rooms. Great breakfast also. Highly recommend.

We’ve been there at the end of October for a week, the rooms were lovely and super clean, the owners are extremely kind and available for any question or problem. They helped us with everything. The breakfast was free and it was really good We had a really nice vacation and that’s also because of them!

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.

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!

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.

Riad Origines is a lovely hotel, where everything was cleaned and everyone was extremely nice and helpful. To be honest, it might have been one of my best experiences in a hotel. Everything I needed, the staff was very helpful. They were worried about our welfare, always asking where we were going and if we needed directions going there. Adi was incredible, thank you so much for your hospitality. Everyone that wants a true morrocan experience, please stay in this Riad. From the location to the style of architecture and food, these Riad is exactly what morrocan hospitality is about. Thank you very much, will definitely come back!
