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.

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.

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.

Staff is very frendly , they gave us all instructions , and advice , we book with them trip to Sahara for exelent price and we get discount , its spa riad...

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!

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.
