Riad Ajebel

The riad is located at the southern edge of the Medina in a comparatively quiet area. You turn a few corners and reach the first restaurants and shops in the Kasbah area. Through another door you are out on the road from where you can easily get a taxi to go to the airport or anywhere else. The building is very traditional with rooms arranged around an inner courtyard and a terrace on the rooftop. We spent a week there in December and on sunny mornings had breakfast on the roof (fresh juice, tea, coffee, eggs, yoghurt, bread, butter, jam and msemen). The gem of the riad is Jean-Jacques, the manager. He was in touch with us from the moment we booked, always had good suggestions and was extremely helpful on many occasions (arrange a rental car, call taxis, recommend restaurants and places to visit, help with translating). We received a very good and comprehensive briefing from him upon arrival as well as a local smartphone that we could keep with us throughout our stay.

We found our room quite dark, even when all the lights were on. For us it was a bit strange that the bathroom with the toilet was separated from the rest of of the room only by a thin curtain. This may be very uncomfortable if you are not travelling as a couple.

Very nice riad and nice location, about 15 minutes walking from the main square, quite area. nice and confortable bed. host gave us a local mobile phone for calls and internet

Breakfast nice but could be better, and mainly sweet, room a bit too dark.

Lovely, traditional Riad in a convenient location with a walk that passes a number of interesting areas towards the lively squares. Being on the edge of the medina it's very easy to get a taxi to the outer attractions. And Jean-Jacques and his team of Badr and Fatima are exceptionally helpful and friendly.

All good really, just bear in mind Riads are designed for cool outdoor living in summer so if you come in the winter then warmer clothes are useful for the evenings.

The Riad was beautiful, it was very comfortable and gorgeous inside. The location is perfect also! What made our stay were the staff there, who were really accommodating, welcoming and genuine in their service. It was a lovely little sanctuary for both my Nana and I, to rest and recuperate from the busy hustle and bustle of Marrakech. I would highly recommend to all to stay here.
