  Perfection

  05 Apr 2025

  Fantastic quiet position, within walking distance of everything. Beautiful, calm interiors. Wonderful staff, great breakfast and fantastic room with the most comfortable bed I have ever slept on. Plus a great rooftop sun deck with a small pool. Can't recommend it highly enough.

  Heavenly Oasis

  17 Jun 2023

  Perfect oasis in the middle of Marrakech. The staff made us feel extremely welcome on arrival and throughout our stay. The Riad itself was very clean and comfortable and had areas inside to sit and relax in if you want to escape the heat of the sun. Breakfast was served daily and was continental style (pastries and local breads) and extremely plentiful. On most days we didn’t need to eat again until dinner! The pool was well maintained and with the other guests at the Riad using it as a base to sightsee Marrakech we never had any problem getting a lounger on the sun terrace. As for location, the Riad was perfect to go see Marrakech. The Saadian Tombs are no more than 2 minutes walk and the Badi Palace 20 minutes. Jemaa el-fnaa is a 20 minute stroll the other direction although the traffic was a little hairy in parts. If you wanted to get a taxi you’d have no problem getting one close to the Riad. Would whole heartedly recommend Riad Awa to anyone considering a stay here and would definitely go back whenever next in Marrakech.

  Great place to be

  29 May 2022

  It was our third riad to stay at here in marrakech. It was really great place, the moroccan food is the best of the best you can have in the city. The staff are just amazing and always smiling. Great breakfast anytime u would have it morning or afternoon. Room are super clean and great location so u can visit some of historic buildings around there, very close to jammaa lafna Square and kotoubia too. They have great rooftop view and pool too. I really recommend the place for those who looking for great moroccan food, tranquility and great location. I would like to thank all the sta3ff there for the amazing hospitality and looking forward to back again. RegardsKarim & Hannah

  Average sums it up

  21 Oct 2018

  This was our third riad in Morocco...and whilst Ok, it was not great for the dollars spent. Same price per night as the amazing riad we stayed in in Essaouira...that had the wow factor, Awa, sadly didn’t. No instructions sent re parking arrangements (which you have to pay extra for) and no GPS coordinates made finding the place (we were self driving) very challenging.The lady who met us spoke no English but provided us with the usual mint tea....we weren’t asked if we wanted sugar or not and it arrived VERY sweet...so ask for ‘sans sucre’ unless you have a very sweet tooth! Furniture downstairs all looked a little tired (better when table clothes on tables). I was left ther when my husband went to relocate the car and was not shown to our room until I went and asked.The room we had on first floor was large, nice lounge area, bed comfortable but on the firm side, air con good. Clean, good towels and toiletries. Noisy as small windows (single glazing) to outside passage and a man shouting until 11ish one night, right outside the window. Breakfasts adequate, roof terrace with small pool a nice place to relax. Wifi good at some times of the day and slow at others.Location convenient for walking to souks, square etc. can’t compare to other riads in Marrakech, and had we paid in the region of nz$180, this would have rated higher, but at $220 a night, not good value.

  Enjoyable stay

  21 Oct 2018

  We booked here due to TA reviews, location & parking.The location was great, easy to walk to just about anything you wanted or taxis were available right outside.Initially not an easy place to find when using Google maps... we were driving. then, the parking is 2-3 minute walk up the road, whereas you expect it easy to find.Once you drive into the Kasbah it’s a 1 way trip... it makes sense once you have been there, but beware.The Riad: for the price it wasn’t as good as the one we had in Essaouira for the same price, in that I mean the quality of the room, furnishings, customer service & breakfast.I’d give 7/8 out of 10 here for those attributes. A let down was the reception as the lady @ the time we arrived spoke virtually no English.Others did, so it was better when their shift started.We had a 3 course meal the 1st night... chicken Tagline loaded with olives... I hate olives!!!! Though the dinner was nice.Wifi was poor, usually better in the morning.Good stay, but they could improve on a few aspects.
