This Riad was amazing!!! It was beautiful. But the true gem was my Riad host Fahad. He was my knight in shining armor. Upon arrival I was a little taken back by the surroundings. However within a couple hours he had me feeling at ease and even on the back of his moped. This Riad is breathtaking.

We loved this Riad. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room, court yard and balcony were great. The food was wonderful nd it was so nice to have a place to just hang out and relax. The location was very convenient to the market, square and historical buildings.
The only warning is you have to walk to about 1/2 mile to get to it and there are lots of little stairs in the riad. If you have mobiliy issues this might not be the right choice for you.

They picked us up from where the taxi can enter (you call them before arriving) and walked us and the bags to reception with sweet mint tea and biscuits. The hotel is gorgeously and thoughtfully decorated. Our room was huge, beautiful solid wood furniture and nice decor. Spacious bathroom with eco friendly dispensers of soap and shampoo.

I highly recommend this hotel. The next time we’re going to Marrakech, Riad Les Ammonites will be our first choice because we loved our stay. Facilities and the quality of service were excellent. There were usb outlets on the wall which helped us recharging our phones so conveniently. Breakfast was so delicious homemade and so fresh so we didn’t think about having breakfast outside. The staff were super super friendly and passionate about their hotel and also making sure guests are comfortable. Fahd and the crew were so friendly. He showed us around the hotel, gave us great guidance and provided whatever we needed as if we were literally staying in their own house. They went above and beyond and made our stay so pleasant and memorable. Thanks again :)

Unfortunately I am not able to recommend this hotel. Location is not bad, the service is fine too but only if you don’t get in direct contact with the owner Cinzia. As far as I am concerned she is a person who doesn’t respect her customers. During our stay our privacy was brutally disrupted – they have decided to paint the windows inside our room! It was entered by unknown persons who were not even employees of the hotel. And up to this moment I am not sure that none of our personal belongings are missing as they were moved around. The room smelled of fresh paint and it was impossible and dangerous to stay in it. I made them give us another room for the rest of our stay even though they wanted to give it for a night only saying that the hotel was fully booked. I told the hotel that such a behavior was totally unacceptable and asked for one night compensation. At that point Cinzia just stopped communicating – she didn’t take calls nor answered mails. Only when I wrote that I am going to try to solve the situation through expedia/hotels.com I got an answer that I menace her with Expedia and she will give no compensation at all.
And another thing: the hotel is not cheap by Marrakech standards but the breakfast there is no better than one typically expects in a hostel. Unless you like to fill your belly with a lot of dough in different forms accompanied by a very bad coffee and glass of acid orange juice this is not your place.

The riad was lovely and Francesca and the staff were so friendly and welcoming. The food was excellent as well. Would definitely recommend staying here if you're looking to explore the Medina. There's also a great view from the roof, be sure not to miss it!

Riad was really run down and not in a very nice area. Really inconvenient to get to. The bathroom was OK but the toilet was leaking from the commode, yuck!! Bedsheet had a red stain on it. There was a spa but did not have any water in it. The breakfast was horrible and everything was out of the box and just warmed up. No one there to ask for any eggs or anything, The staff was nice and tried their best but couldn't make up for bad management!! I definitely would not stay there again.

Nice Riad in Medina. Relaxing and calm atmosphere. Nice rooftop. Good location, but you need to walk a bit from the taxa, the Riad is in and arrow street, where you have to be aware of young "very politely" boys, they are watching out and they want your money (once a young boy around 10 suceeded to open my stomackpurse, while elder boys talked to me). At the Riad they said, dont talk to the boys in the street!

Staff were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. It can be a bit tricky to find the first time but most places are in the Medina. Once you know your way its easy enough to find. They also give you a map and helpful app for directions to the markets. Would highly recommend.

Riad Les Ammonites was the perfect place to stay on our trip to Marrakech. The staff (especially Fehd & Francesca) is incredibly helpful and goes above and beyond to make your trip fantastic. The excursions we booked through the hotel were all reasonably priced, smoothly executed, and made the whole trip more fun. Best of all, the Riad employs an authentic Moroccan chef and the food is incredible (better than any of the restaurants or street food in the actual Medina that we tried).
Some food tips to travelers: try the Khili (Egg) Tagine for breakfast at least once. Try the chicken tagine for dinner w/ an affordable bottle of wine at least once as well. We had dinner at the riad 3 out of the 4 nights we were there and wished we hadn't gone out for dinner at all!
SAFETY RELATED: Having cellular internet and mapping directions to the hotel is really important. At night, being able to follow those directions back is crucial. In addition, NO STREET IS EVER CLOSED IN THE MEDINA. Saying this is a primary tactic of many locals to keep tourists in the Medina and guiding them away from their "hotel" while they are lost, then demanding a large tip for their "services" were possibly the only negative experience we had in Morocco. Once we caught onto this tactic, Marrakech felt much safer at night.

Very helpful staff!! After we learned to go around in medina and didnt get lost anymore, We also found the location of this riad very good. Near many restaurants and places. The riad was very peaceful inside, We enjoyed the roof terrace especially.

The Riad is very beautiful, clean and very cozy. The rooms are decorated traditionally and very nicely. Breakfast was included and very good. Dinner was inexpensive and delicious. Francesca the manager is super nice and helpful and makes your stay much easier. Just the location. The Riad is in Old Medina and in a very dark and narrow alley (no driving possible) We were afraid to go out after dark. Other than that is is a beautiful place!!!

We really enjoyed our five nights at Les Ammonites. Francesca was quick to respond to our emails beforehand and was a great host during our time. The Riad is very nice, quiet, and clean. We took a cooking class at the Riad which was really enjoyable. Francesca set up a driver to pick us up at the airport and bring us back at the end of our trip. Everything was really, very nice.

This was a real experience of the traditional Morocco staying in a Riad in the middle of the Medina. If you're looking for a fancy 5 star hotel with all the amenities I suggest you look elsewhere. If you want a taste of the traditional Morocco with great views of the Medina from the rooftop terrace, a traditional room with authentic decor and a real Moroccan breakfast this is the place for you. The staff couldn't be more friendly, its as if they are host to you being a guest in their home, its a more intimate experience than a hotel.

We stayed 3 nights in a fantastic suite in this beautiful and quiet riad. The host is really helpful and kind, the stuff tried to provide different breakfast every morning during our stay. Wifi is not very stable though.
