What a wonderful Riad. Everyone was so amazing. Don't even get me started on the most cozy bed ever! This is a jewel. *Mama* made me some morrocan pancakes as a snack as I returned too late to go to dinner and needed just something small. I feel like a part of the family. They were truly amazing

Walking distance to the Souks and main square. Breakfast was very continental, but adequate. Staff friendly and helpful. Make sure you write the address down as Cab drivers find it difficult to locate. You will have to walk from the cab to the Riad, as there is no real vehicular access. If in doubt, use their shuttle service which can be booked 72 hours in advance.

Este Riad é absolutamente acolhedor, situado a apenas 200 metros do centro, na rua principal que leva à Praça Jemaa el-Fnaa. O staff é extremamente simpático e prestável, facilitando muito a estadia e oferecendo ajuda no que for necessário. O pequeno-almoço é satisfatório. O jacuzzi no centro do pátio é um verdadeiro espetáculo, rodeado por salas de lazer. Recomendo vivamente. **Inglês:** This Riad is absolutely welcoming, located just 200 meters from the center, on the main street leading to the Jemaa el-Fnaa Square. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful, making the stay very pleasant and offering assistance whenever needed. The breakfast is decent. The jacuzzi in the center of the courtyard is a true highlight, surrounded by leisure rooms. Highly recommended.

Very nice, quiet Riad located next to a safe commercial area. Not far from Jemaa El Fna square (aprox 10 minutes walking distance) and easy to find. A warm welcome from Abdou and Fatima, they were always ready to help and to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Abdou speaks english so no problem in communicating. The rooms are cozy, spacious (the 2 suites on the first floor are a bit bigger) with aircon and heating, and very very clean. Breakfast is OK. They offer dinner at the Riad and also can book excursions if you want. We arranged the pick up from the airport with them, it was perfect and they took us door to door. WIFI should improve, it works, but the signal is weak. Overall a good place to stay and I'd recommend it to family and friends.

La struttura è una tipica casa marocchina che viene definita Riad e per chi non è a conoscenza di come siano, resterà stupito come lo siamo stati noi. è tenuto davvero molto bene. Il terrazzo all'ultimo piano come la piscina e la zona all'ingresso vengono puliti ogni mattina. La struttura inoltre si trova in una traversa che per la maggior parte del nostro soggiorno non ci ha causato problemi con il sonno in quanto è una strada molto silenziosa. Il personale della struttura è molto gentile, cordiale e premuroso. Come arrivati ci hanno mostrato le varie escursione e prenotato nei tempi da noi indicati, con una puntualità mai vista prima. Stessa cosa per la colazione, ottima, e servita in tempi record. Promosso in pieno.

Een heel prettige riad, de locatie ten opzichte van het centrum is heel fijn. Je bent op loopafstand van het plein, daardoor kun je heel makkelijk de souks, restaurants en het plein bezoeken. Het personeel Abdul, Fatima en Julien zijn vriendelijk en aardig. Adbul spreekt goed Engels. Fatima ook een beetje maar spreekt goed Frans. De kamers zijn erg mooi en ruim, badkamers zijn bijzonder groot. Het zwembad is klein maar goed om even af te koelen.

Lovely oasis close to the big market square in the heart of the Medina! We were able to walk to most of the tourist spots. Given the location, was completely surprised how quiet it was inside the Riad. We had no issues getting there via taxi. Phillipe was a welcoming host, and the two ladies who work there are kind and take really good care of the guests. The room was romantic and comfortable. We had hot water and good wifi. Breakfast is light, continental fare. Only complaint is that access to the Riad is via ringing a bell to be let in. We returned late one evening to find no one there to answer the door. We had to wait over 30 minutes for someone to arrive to let us in after finding wifi and getting a hold of Phillipe via email. Also, there is no tv in the room; one is available in a common area room. Otherwise, very happy with our stay and recommend it for a quiet place to stay in the middle of everything in Marakech.

Nice and very quiet place to stay in center of the city itself. Service was very good, friendly and helpful personel but don't forget to pay the tip! We booked 2 separate rooms but the one downstairs smells due to the fact that the bathoom was a bit wet and moldy. On the other hand Hamman / massage is a real recommendation. Breakfast = French style

Nous avons séjourné 3 nuits au Riad Mariana entre le 14 et le 17 août. Abdou et Fatima nous ont accueillis avec beaucoup de professionnalisme et de chaleur humaine. Le riad est très charmant, la chambre est spacieuse et la terrasse permet de prendre un bain de soleil tout en se relaxant au milieu de nombreuses plantes à fleurs. Milles merci à Fatima et Abdou qui ont été des hôtes exceptionnels.

The location is a very short walk to the main market centre. It’s a beautiful Riad, spacious room with everything you could need. The pool isn’t so much for swimming in (it was very cold!) but was perfect for sitting with our legs in after a hot day walking. We spent time on the roof terrace too, reading and sun bathing with privacy. The staff were so kind and helpful and made us early breakfast on the days we needed to be out. We tried both lunch and dinner and both were lovely home cooking. Gorgeous house cat too, very friendly! We would highly recommend this place and would stay here again if we come back to the wonderful country of Morocco.

Riad Mariana is a place of tranquillity after the constant hassle of the square. Easy to access all areas without getting too lost. Beds are very comfortable, air conditioning brilliant and roof terrace so peaceful. Was lovely to have a nice light breakfast on the roof each morning with bread, yoghurt, fresh orange juice and home made jam. Staff are great, you step out of your room and they appear as if by magic to see if you need anything. Fatima even walked along to the end of the street, insisting on carrying a bag, and waited with us till the taxi they had booked for us arrived. Highly recommended.

Joli riad, bien entretenu. La chambre que nous avions au premier étage avec deux lits simples accolés était propre et agréable. Les autres clients ne sont pas toujours discrets mais le gérant du riad n'y peut rien. Petit souci d'absence d'eau chaude mais on nous a proposé très rapidement d'utiliser la salle de bain d'une autre chambre et même de changer de chambre si on voulait. Philippe et les employés du riad sont gentils et efficaces. Dans l'ensemble, un bon rapport qualité/prix

The area is not safe. I will not recommend walking at night especially for those who can not speak French or Arabic. Taxi driver had to stop 3 time to ask the locals for directions. Kids follow you at the street to the riad and ask you for money.

Très beau riad, propre, au calme, bien entetenu, à 5 mn à pieds de la place Jemaa El Fna. Terrasse sur le toit au top, avec petits salons et transats. Chambre très spacieuse avec tous les équipements nécessaires et utiles. Les suites sont également superbes. Petite piscine très cosy (non chauffée). Petit déjeuner maison. Fatima vous prépare des plats locaux délicieux pour les repas si vous le souhaitez. En résumé, nous vous conseillons vivement ce riad.

Aside from the authentic Moroccan atmosphere, the food was equally fantastic. The riad is located only a few minutes from Jema Dl Fna and Phillipe, the owner, will gladly assist you with directions, a ride, or any excursions you want to experience while in Morocco. Although wifi is available at most restaurants and hotels in the area, we found that the wifi at Riad Mariana was much more reliable. In Morocco, you learn not to take the little things for granted (a working, reliable toilet is a good example). Riad Mariana offers all the amentities of home while still maintaining the culture people come to the country to learn about with a great staff on top of it. We very much enjoyed our week at the Riad and hope to visit again soon.

Extremely friendly owner/operator. Had suggestions on getting places, being safe. He was looking out for my welfare. Room was large, powerful A/C. He gave me a key to the building so i could come in at any time. I left early for my departing flight and he slept on a coach where i would unavoidably wake him up - just so he could say goodbye. (I was already paid up.) Gave him the biggest tip for staying at any hotel in any of the 30 countries i've visited - about 50% of the room cost. Nice breakfasts. If I ever travel to Marrakech again, i will certainly stay there.

From the moment we arrived, the administrator was focussed on collecting extra €50 for taxes. We thought It was way to much. He came down to €25. At the end of the stay, he found the way, to over charge anyway. We paid extra €50 plus 275 Dirhams.

This is a very nice place to stay. It is very clean and there are plenty of facilities available. I can't comment on quality of the facilities as we did not have the opportunity to use them as we had already made plans. The hotel itself has a very nice calm atmosphere, that was very welcome after the hustle and bustle of Marrakech. Its near to most of the places in the old town but they can seem further when walking in the heat, however there is a tourist bus that stops not far from the hotel which will take you to most of the sites.

This is a great Riad not far from the hustle and bustle of Jemaa El Fna. It's a quiet oasis with a real family vibe. Breakfast was lovely and rooms light and clean. Abdou, Fatima and Tamou are fantastic - very friendly, helpful and make you feel right at home. Fatima cooks the best meals and dinner was a delight at the Riad. Each dish was freshly cooked with local incredients - definitely one of the highlights of our trip! The roof terrace was also a hit - it's lovely to come back to after a day of exploring. Beautiful flowers and plants adorn the roof terrace and it's a perfect area to eat as well as catch some rays of sunshine! A well-run place with a laid back and friendly atmosphere. Definitely recommended!

Having never experienced a Riad before I wasn't quite sure what to expect. They kindly arranged via email to collect us from the airport and on arrival we were treated to mint tea on the roof while we waited for our room to be prepared (we arrived before 11am). Our room on the ground floor was pleasant and beautifully furnished with local furniture and was very clean and well maintained. Fatima, the housekeeper, prepared us a wonderful lunch and the breakfast every day was equally delicious. Between her, the night manager Abdul and the rest of the staff we felt so welcome and they really looked after us. A special shout out to Mimi, the Riad cat, for being completely cute and hilarious for our whole trip. Also, the amazing view of the mountains from the roof is not to be missed. We will definitely visit again.

Very nice Riad. The service was very good and we were made to feel welcome by all the staff. We cannot fault the overall standard and any negatives are from a brutally honest reviewers perspective. I find those types helpful personally so do the same. The breakfast was nice and the option to eat on the terrace was great. The room we had (sultana) was perfect for a couple but would have probably been a bit of a squeeze had we tried to use the third bed. The big bath was a treat but it was not practical to fill up because of the sheer size and lack of hot enough water. That certainly would not be a problem in the summer, we were there in December so tepid bathing was not an option. The interiors were beautiful throughout and the whole place was wonderfully relaxing. As first time visitors to Marrakech the location took some getting used to as it is a good ten minute walk to the main square and as other reviews state, is probably not suitable for women travelling alone. Once you've done it a few times however it's less daunting. We had a lovely stay at the Riad Mariana and would like to thank the staff for contributing to that.

Marrakech is an unique place which I would recommend everyone visit once in their life. It's a west meets Arab/African type of place, leaning more to the latter. Though it's a site to see, at first you'll feel the chaos that is the medina. Narrow streets with merchants lined on each side, people walking through, scooters and motorized bicycles going by and sometimes even donkey drawn carriages with supplies being transported. Riad Mariana, located only 10 minutes from the city square Jemaa el-Fnaa/Souks, is off a main street, but in a quite neighborhood. We were able to enter the main areas quickly, but also come back to the quiet and serene Riad to get some time off from the bustling streets. Phillipe and company did their best in providing whatever we needed during our stay, as well as getting us connected with others staying in the Riad to go on an excursion to the Atlas Mountains. Overall, we recommend Riad Mariana for your stay in Marrakech, as it was affordable, clean and comfortable.

Pre-booked a transfer from the airport, well worth the inflated cost as the driver waited over 2 hours for us due to slow passport control. Despite late night arrival, dinner was waiting for us when we arrived - absolutely delicious, and served on rooftop terrace, one of my favourite meals of the trip. Fluffy bath robes, hot shower water, air conditioning, toiletries in room - all great. Lovely breakfast served on terrace next morning, helpful and courteous staff. Thanks!

My friend and I really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful, peaceful riad. The staff were very helpful and the homemade dinner we had one evening was delicious, the best meal we had in Marrakech. Our room (and the riad as a whole) was very cool, a welcome escape from the midday heat! And, it was only a ten minute walk or so to the main square from the riad. Overall, highly recommended!

We stayed 4 nights at Riad Mariana over new year and had a brilliant time. The riad is very well located just 10 minutes' walk from the main square. Despite this central location it is very quiet and you don't even get woken up by the call to prayer. The staff could not have been more helpful, welcoming or friendly. The room was comfortable with a nice en suite bathroom and there is a great roof terrace where you can have breakfast in the sunshine. Really recommend that you have an evening meal there too - it was delicious. Overall, a great place to stay and very good value.

Wonderful and peaceful place to relax. The room was spacious, beautiful decor, comfortable bed and huge tub to soak in. The hotel included a quiet space for a true hammam scrub and massage, was excellent. The owner and staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. The roof terrace is the perfect spot to escape the traffic of the medina and enjoy an amazing home cooked meal. The location was great- walking distance to the medina, sights, and restaraunts. The price is excellent given the high standards of this riad. I absolutely will go back again.
