It was an absolute PLEASURE to stay in Riad Siwan. I could tell this was going to be a different booking experience because days before we even set out to Marrakesh, the manager of the Riad - Khaled - began messaging me to answer any questions, requests, or worries I had. He was with us every step of the way including giving us a tour of the Riad when we checked in, telling us about different connections he could hook us up with for opportunities in the city (we ended up shopping with a fantastic guide couple days later per his recommendation), and even walking and talking with us as we ran into him in the city. A fantastic man that came to make sure we had parked in the correct spot helped us with our baggage. If you have the pleasure of meeting Yassine, count yourself lucky. A truly genuine man that embodies all there is about Marrakesh. The breakfast every morning was FANTASTIC! Literally all the staff was absolutely incredible, and there were with us every step of our journey to assist in any way possible. The Riad is located in the heart of the Medina, BUT far enough that it is SOO peaceful and quiet. Once you step in, it's like your own hidden oasis. If this is your first time in Marrakesh, you will soon realize the importance of a peaceful place to come home to - believe me! We had the pleasure of staying in the 'Qamar' room with its own private balcony and INCREDIBLE bathroom. It was so luxurious, and yet so authentically Moroccan. Check out their website for more info/details riadsiwan.com The rooftop has several levels with the most gorgeous views over the city. We would watch the sunrise and sunset every day (when we weren't exploring the Medina down below). I'm running out of things to say, and I am sure I forgot other stories, but if you are on the fence about booking with Khaled and Riad Siwan... GO FOR IT!

One word - parking. There is a nearby lot, very close, proximity is not the issue. It's the parking attendants. You never really know if you're getting scammed or over charged. However, this is now a knock on Riad Siwan by any means; this is more Marrakesh itself. You car WILL be safe there (which was important for us having a rental car from Tangier), and it is close, however knowing some French or Arabic will get you far with the parking guys.

This beautiful Riad hotel exceeded our expectations. Absolutely beautiful house and interior, the staff were wonderful, polite and prepared to assist us whenever. We were welcomed by Khalid, offered a light lunch after our long flight which was delicious and made restaurant reservations for us. He was there at our beckon call to assist with anything needed. The breakfast was very good, fresh produce and beautifully laid out. Although the Riad is in the heart of the Medina, it was absolutely calm and quiet there, only bird song and tranquility. I strongly recommend Riad Siwan and would love to go back.

Nothing! It was all magical.

Riad Siwan is a labour of love, everything is so nicely thought of and executed. The stay was very comfortable. The attention to detail is remarkable. The staff is very friendly and always have a smile on their face when you meet them. The roof terrace has beautiful 360 degree views, where you can relax. Best part was breakfast which we could have in the dinning area as well as on the roof terrace.Riad Siwan is walking distance from the Medina but still quiet from the hustle bustle. Khalid the property manager was very nice and quick in responding to any query we had.He had arranged a pick up for us and also arranged for a car on hire when we requested on our last day. He also arranged for a local guide to take us around on the first day. A big thank you to him.

Everything was nice

Evening meal was very good. Breakfasts were acceptable, if a little unimaginative and with not much variety. All staff were very welcoming, and did everything possible to make our stay enjpyable. We appreciated the arrangement that to enter the Riad, it was essential to ring, and be admitted by a member of staff.

The Riad listed a swimming pool, and after the earthquake ,when we contacted Riad Siwan we were assured that all services were available. That was not strictly accurate. The pool was unfilled, and when we asked why, we were told that due to some structural damage, there was concern that that corner of the building would not cope with the increased wait of the water. We felt that this should have been flagged up before our arrival.

Riad Siwan is a hidden gem, tucked away from the bustling alleys of the Medina. The manager Khalid and his staff are very welcoming and friendly. They will assist you with any of your travel needs. The rooms are beautifully decorated and the food is delicious. Coming back to the riad after a day out in busy Marrakech is like coming back home. We warmly recommmend this riad.

Beautifully renovated riad with very well appointed rooms particularly the bathroom which was stunning.

The breakfast was disappointing as myself and my partner were expecting a magnificent breakfast in keeping with the quality of the riad and the room rate. Breakfast was traditional, breads, pancakes,preserves and a serving of either fresh fruit or yoghurt. Coffee was very average compared to barista quality close to the riad in various cafes. Ater a couple of breakfasts in the hotel we chose alternative options outside, of which there are plenty. I can strongly recommend Mandala Society which is a 2 minute walk away.

Centrally located, comfortable room, nice plunge pool, nice breakfast, very good dinner and a fantastic staff.

Being where it is it can be a little confusing going down the alley ways until you get the hang of it

The location was very central to places of interest and the main square. Breakfast was lovely, with a slight twist each morning.

Experienced management. Very clean. Good service. Amazing room.

The breakfast was more like a pre breakfast. Some delicious good bites instead of something that kept me full until afternoon. Maybe because it was more like a sweet breakfast which I'm not used to.

Captivating historic Riad So evocative of the past

Not the easiest to find first time Be sure to have porter meet you at taxi stand
