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 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 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.

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 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!

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!
