We had a nice stay here in April 2015. The riad is beatifully decorated, mixing traditional Moroccan decor with modern elements. Staff is friendly and takes good care of you as a guest - and the kitchen serves up delicious tagine dishes and amazing moroccan breakfast pancakes. The roof terrace is the cherry on top, very romantic in the evening...perfect for proposals!It is worth ordering airport transfer through the riad, as it is difficult to find. However our driver did not show up /we did not find him, so we took a taxi and some of the local boys showed us the way.This is not recommended, but it worked out in the end - remember to have local currency on hand to tip the boys if you end up in the same situation.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

This Riad was absolutely amazing, it definitely exceeded our expectations and every time we thought it couldn't get any better, it did! We came to this Riad unexpectedly as where we originally booked another Riad, however they did a mistake with our reservation (Riad La maison Rouge) and transferred us here, which we are very pleased about. Said in particular was a very big part in our holiday, his customer service was shocking (in a good way). When we arrived he gave us many tips for when we go out and gave us a phone where we could contact him in case we got lost or had any queries while we was out, he was also willing at any time to collect us from the taxi drop off point to accompany us back to the Riad. His attention to us was more than 5 stars. Breakfast was really nice and the day that we had an excursion at 8 am, Said ensured that we had breakfast before we left as breakfast is served from 8am. The room was fabulous, very spacious and daily cleaning service. Would definitely return to this Riad!
