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 loved our stay here. The staff were friendly and helpful. The resident cat was also so special. Very clean and modern Riad with a pool and a beautiful terrace. Wish we had more time to spend here. Thank you everyone. We already miss you.

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 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.

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!

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.

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.
