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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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 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!
