We stayed in this Riad for a week over the New Year. Christina made the booking process very easy and Responded very quickly to all our queries. We followed her recommendation for transfer from airport and are glad we did. We were met at the airport and driven to the riad and then our luggage was transported for us down the lane to the Riad. The Riad itself is in a residential area within easy reach of the Souks and square and a number of excellent restaurants such As Limone, Cafe Arabe, Dar Zellij. Meriem came to the Riad every morning to prepare an amazing breakfast, you will not go hungry, and is so helpful in booking all the excursions (We would recommend the Moroccan cookery class which our children said was the best day of the holiday). Meriem keeps the Riad very clean and tidy, we could not fault it at all. Thank you Christina and Meriem for such a wonderful holiday.

Erg mooie Riad. We zijn met 6 vriendinnen 4 nachten geweest. Meriem gaf ons een warm welkom en heeft ons 4 dagen in de watten gelegd met goed ontbijt, schone kamers en adviezen over trips en de stad. Chauffeur Hakim bracht en haalde ons van het vliegveld en ging mee met een dagtour. Hij weet veel te vertellen, heeft humor en gaf de indruk zijn werk met veel plezier te doen. Ook het contact met de eigenaar Christine via de mail verliep voorspoedig en prettig. Echt een aanrader!

Wir haben zu dritt 4 Nächte in Marrakesch verbracht. Das Riad liegt im nördlichen Teil der Medina. In die südliche Médina läuft man ca. 20 min. Im nördlichen Teil ist man mitten im Leben der Marrakesch Bevölkerung inkl. Mofas die durch Straßen und Gassen heizen ohne Rücksicht auf Verluste und abends werden die Straßen noch lebendiger als ehe schon tagsüber und dann wird gefeilscht, gekocht und gegessen. In all dem bildet das Riad ein Kleinod an Ruhe und Privatsphäre inkl. super Frühstücksservice. Bitte unbedingt den Restauranttips der Riad Eigentümer folgen, es lohnt sich! Ruhe und modernes Ambiente findet man in der Hotelgebiet außerhalb der Médina südwestlich, die sogenannte Neustadt ist nicht zu empfehlen.

We shared this private house with two single friends. There was plenty of room for all. Each bedroom has a private bathroom and there is a 1/2 bath on the ground floor. The courtyard is small but very attractive with a lovely fountain. There are several seating areas- inside and out. The house is decorated beautifully with many hand- made Moroccan throws, lanterns, pottery, and furniture. The owner and staff are very helpful and pleasant. Getting into the souks and main square is easy ( once you know the way) and there are a number of good restaurants within easy walking distance. We had dinner fixed for us in the house one night and it was delicious. I highly recommend this as a place to stay in the Médina.

Our stay at this Riad was absolute bliss and beauty. From beginning to end we were delighted with the high level of communication and a luxury level care. We were met at the train station by a courteous professional driver and at the taxi drop in the Médina by Omar and a cart man to carry our luggage the short distance to this gorgeous riad. Meriem, the riad manager, is fluent in English and an absolute gentle joy to know. She gave us all the information, map and advice we needed to be at home immediately. The home is just absolutely impeccably clean and decorated with incredible style and grace. The beds are comfortable and the linens high quality luxury. Awesome hot showers and the terraces are beautiful with small gardens, sunset views, atmospheric calls to prayer and privacy! We were right in a wonderful living breathing area of the Médina. Safe and fun and easy walking to so many wonderful experiences. I cannot say enough compliments about Riad Ethnique. My heart is full of happiness. We will return!!! Thank you for making Marrakesh more magical than we could have hoped for!! Xoxoxo Shanda, Sharon, and Christy Sue!

We were 3 ladies and stayed at the Riad Ethnique for 3 nights, it was a lovely experience. The riad is very traditional, very beautiful and has plenty of room to relax. Merium greeted us on the first day with tea and biscuits and told us everything we needed to know about the area. She was on hand each morning to make us a lovely breakfast. The riad is a 15 min walk to the souks that lead to the main square. The souks can be difficult to navigate quickly but that is part of their charm. The area around the riad is charming and bustling but away from the core tourist centre. We had a lovely stay, thank you!

Pulitissimo, personale simpatico gentile e disponibile . Posizione ottima per la Medina. Bravissimi. Ottima scelta per gruppi e famiglie. Colazione perfetta.

This is an excellent Riad, centrally located within a residential area of the walled city of Marrakech. It was perfect for our party of six aged from 11 upwards with plenty of room for all. The property was spotlessly clean with helpful staff and included a delicious breakfast everyday. The Moroccan dinner in the Riad was a lovely birthday treat and the kind owners surprised us with a birthday cake too. From the Riad, we could walk everywhere we needed to go. We had also booked a cooking lesson via the Riad which I recommend highly and a camel ride which was fun with children. Staff helpfully arranged a taxi for us so that some of our party could visit a waterpark and made a restaurant reservation on our behalf. All in all a fantastic mini break in a beautiful traditional property with a caring owner and supportive staff.

We were a little hesitant about staying a riad as previous trips to Morocco years ago had been in the relative “safety” of a hotel, and on this trip we were going with 5 teenagers. The taxi dropped us off late and the area was busy, but our fears disappeared as Aida was there to meet us and show us the way to the riad. The streets leading to it seem a little confusing at first but we soon found our way around. From the outside of the riad you have no idea how beautiful it is inside. When we first arrived the candles around the pool were lit and we were offered Moroccan mint tea and biscuits. It was magical. The great hospitality continued all week with an amazing variety of breakfast dishes including omelettes made to order as we arrived for breakfast, pancakes, pastries, sausages etc and always bread, jams, yoghurt, fresh fruit salad, fresh orange, coffee and tea. We felt guilty that we could never eat it all. On our first morning Aida took us for a walk to the Jemaa el Fna and through the souks so that we could get our bearings, and throughout the week she was in the riad along with Latifa until lunchtime, when they finished cleaning the riad and clearing breakfast. Aida was invaluable in helping us to book taxis and giving advice about prices and customs and trying to teach us some Arabic. Most of the time we attempted to use our French while in the city but Aida speaks very good English. She gave us a contact number incase we needed her and we felt very well looked after. We had expected a certain amount of hassle in the souks and were prepared for the various hard sell techniques , despite this we did get caught up in a carpet selling/ guided tour of the tanneries (by accident ) but accepted it as part of the experience and came away with some quite nice slippers. Overall the experience was amazing- everywhere you look there is something you would love to photograph and the massive contrast between the souks and the ville nouvelle is incredible. I would definitely return to the riad without any hesitation- the accommodation was clean and spacious and the staff were brilliant. An oasis of calm in a busy city.

El Riad es muy bonito y agradable, aunque por las fotos nosotros nos hicimos la idea que era más grande, las fotos se corresponden con la realidad. La habitación principal es amplia al igual que el baño, las otras habitaciones también con baño son más pequeñas pero están muy bien. La decoración tiene muchos detalles que nos encantaron como la librería, la chimenea y las mesas del salón y comedor (hechas con puertas antiguas) . Una decoración que mezcla muy bien elementos tradicionales marroquíes con un estilo más moderno, lo que aligera el estilo puramente marroquí y la hace muy acogedora sin ser ostentosa. Tanto Merien como Omar son atentos, profesionales y muy muy discretos, si no fuese porque todo estaba a punto, uno casi no se da cuenta de su presencia, una vez hecho su trabajo se van pero Merien está a tu disposición por teléfono. Recomiendo contratar el transfer desde el aeropuerto, muy profesional, precio razonable y te dejan en la plaza próxima a riad (no creo que cualquier taxista fuese capaz de llegar) donde te espera Omar para transportar el equipaje y llevarte hasta el Riad, Merien te da la bienvenida con un té a la menta y unas pasta riquísima, también se encarga de que todos los días Cuando te levantas tengas un rico desayuno preparado con zumo, yogour, croisant o bollos, pan, fruta, huevo revuelto. Y de la limpieza diaria. Contratamos también la excursión a Essaouira, algo más caro que lo que te ofrecen en la calle, pero con garantía de buen vehículo, chófer muy profesional que hace su trabajo y no te para en tiendas ni te trata de vender nada. La cena en el riad, la recomiendo para el día que llegas cansado de una excursión y quieres quedarte tranquilamente en casa, estaba buena, pero para nosotros que estamos acostumbrados a cenar tarde las 7:30´es muy pronto y Marrakech tiene muchos restaurantes y terrazas donde cenar y disfrutar de la noche sobre todo si hace buen tiempo. Un Riad con encanto, para sentirte como en casa con atención de hotel. Muy buena la comunicación y disponibilidad de Cristina que desde Zanzibar supervisa y organiza todo. muchas gracias.
