Riad Azawan

Really enjoyed our stay here. The riad is so beautiful and well maintained and breakfast was delicious…but what exceeded our expectations was the hospitality. Ayoub went above beyond to make our stay memorable and we can’t wait to return Inshallah!

Our host was the nicest guy, soo chill and always help us when needed something even offered us to clean our room for free although we were about to leave the next day. The breakfast is local tastes and kinda full and also he washes the fruits with mineral water so you don't have any stomach problems (they drink the water here but its tricky for us europeans bc we are just used to different water). The room is lovely with a big bed, nice and clean bathroom, comfortable for two persons and two traditional clothes for you to try if you want. Only thought is the paper thin walls that communicated with common area but we didn't have any problem at all. Last but not least the rooftop is sooo beautiful were you can chill and watch the view.
In summary I strongly suggest it.

Riad Azawan was the perfect place to stay in Marrakesh. It’s tucked back in the alleyways close enough to the Medina so you got an authentic feel for the city, but it also wasn’t too far from the main markets and restaurants (10-15 min walk). The host was extremely cool / helpful and cooked breakfast each day. Other meals could be prepared for added cost. There was also a small rooftop area available perfect for morning coffee as well as a couple other common areas. The rooms had A/C. There was also soap, shampoo / conditioner provided and water pressure was great. Would stay again.

The location of the riad is great. The design of the communal spaces as well as the rooms creates a wonderful local ambience. It is well equipped and super clean. What makes the stay most special is the incredible welcome and hospitality of Ayoub, the best host. He is always there to help, answer questions and prepares absolutely delicious breakfasts everyday. We appreciate him so much and can confidently say we will return!

Cannot recommend Riad Azawan enough! First, it’s in a calm and quiet location in the Kasbah neighborhood, which is a welcome change from the intensity of the main souks and other parts of the city. Ayoub is a fantastic host — he greeted us at the entrance to the main road and helped carry our things the few small streets to the Riad and then welcomed us with delicious tea and a history and culture lesson. We booked dinner here our first night, and his cooking is the best we’ve had so far in Marrakech! The rooms are comfortable and clean, and the breakfasts each morning are delicious. Teresa sent a great list of favorite places/activities, and the ones we did were fantastic. She was responsive and helpful before our trip and while here with general questions about the country and travel logistics. Can’t wait to come back in the future!

If you want an authentic experience of Marrakech, you won't find much better than a stay at Riad Azawan. It is so much more than just a place to stay.
It is a traditional, old guest house of the Kasbah — the residential part of old Marrakech. It's within 20 minutes walk of the Medina and Souks in the busy part of town, where you can haggle for all kinds of wondrous treasures from leather goods to beautiful coloured lanterns.
Don't let Riad Azawan's age.
Or non descript frontage put you off, for to do so is to miss out on a little oasis, a piece of heaven with traditional layout of rooms off a lovely courtyard with fountain and open to the skies. This is the traditional riad. It is very comfortable with modern amenities as air-conditioning, heating for cold nights, Wi-Fi, satellite TV if you have time! Youll be too busy exploring the rustic, charming streets nearby. Cleanliness is of a very high standard, the rooms are enduite and very comfortable. Breakfasts are hearty, setting you up for the day.
The host is Ayoub, on behalf of the owners Theresa and Said. Ayoub's English is very good. He is Amazigh — polite term for Berber, and studying to become a lawyer. Your comfort and enjoyment is his top priority. Nothing is too much trouble and he is also a very useful "fixer" if you want taxis or guided tours etc. He's well connected and genuintly interested in getting you the best authentic Moroccan experience.

Highly recommended riad to stay in Marrakesh. The owner was very responsive, the breakfast was great and the host (Ayoub) was super friendly and helpful. We also met some great people (other guests) at the property.

I absolutely enjoyed my stay at Riad Azawan! The Riad was beautiful, with comfort to it and a calm atmosphere with lovely birds chirping in the morning. Our room was clean and tidy. Additionally, the breakfast provided was delicious and got us energised for the day.
I appreciate the service provided by Ayoub for being very kind and accommodating to us, helping us to book various excursions including Agafay Camp, Ouzoud Waterfalls and Ait Ben Haddou & Quarzazate and any taxis 😊 Definitely recommend this Riad for a trip to Marrakech!

Really good stay, rooms are clean, ambient lighting around the Riad and good vibe. The Riad is also located in a good location making most tourist attractions walkable.
Ayoub was so welcoming and prepared amazing breakfast every morning. He also was really helpful for in booking excursions for us to Ouzoud Waterfalls, Agafay & Ait Ben Haddou.

I loved the riad. It’s good for people who wants a restvacation. The host was very kind and helpful. Always ask if we slept well of if we are ok.
The neighborhood I also loved. The people are very nice and in the evening it is busy. Prices in the store are cheaper then the stores around Djemaa El Fna.
Thank you so much for everything.

Place was wonderful, clean. Owner was very responsive. Wifi was very fast. Room equipped with AC which helped alot. Ayoub was on site and helpful during our stay! The place walkable and close to many amenities. The riad also has a rooftop which is very nice to chill on at night.

Great short stay here. Clean and colourful Riad, with a real comfortable feel. Great service from helpful staff. Good breakfast. Comfy room, nice chill out communal areas. Located in the Kasbah a short walk from the main attractions. Taxi drops off about a 2 minute walk Way, a flat walk on cobbled narrow street.

This why I love and recommend Azawan:
1: Location: I never had to struggle with transportation because Azawan is located in the center of the city close to all types of facilities you might think of.
2: Great service and respectful treatment: The staff were friendly, nice and professional.
3: Food! : I love food, and Azawan is the best in terms of quantity and quality of the food provided. If you wanna try any dish, such ask and they'll make sure to prepare it for you.
4: Design and cleanness : Riad Azawan is beautiful and artistic. The colors and the artifacts are just amazing.
I recommend it 100% and I will definitely visit again.

Located in a quiet and convenient area, the beautiful rooms and Riad provided a perfect stay. Incredible location at the very heart of.
Medina. Ayoub was an outstanding host, going above and beyond to ensure our all-too-brief visit was comfortable. The food was also delicious. Only thing I would say, is the bathrooms, despite being clean and spacious, the shower can use a little refurbishing. Thank you so much.

From start to finish, this booking has been nothing short of delightful, the host ayyoub has excellent hospitality and made us feel like we were at home. Breakfast every morning was at the time we required and was very tasty. The beds were comfortable and the whole riad was very clean at all times. Definitely recommend this RIAD if you want a nice quiet place to stay not too far from the hustle and bustle. Will definitely be back Insha Allah! 😍

Absolutely wonderful stay at Riad Azawan! 🌟✨
From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with such warmth and hospitality. The riad’s beautiful decor and serene atmosphere immediately set the tone for a magical experience. The location in the Kashba neighborhood was perfect—close to main attractions yet far enough to offer an authentic and peaceful retreat 💯
Our room was lovely, and the bathroom’s shower was a highlight. Ayoub’s kindness and availability throughout the week made our stay truly special 🙏 His breakfasts were the best we’ve ever had, and his assistance in every possible way was greatly appreciated. We were genuinely sad to leave.
The entire staff was kind and helpful, making sure our check-in and check-out were smooth and flexible 🙌
For anyone visiting Marrakech, I highly recommend Riad Azawan for an authentic, comfortable, and unforgettable stay.
Huge thanks to Ayoub, Said, and Teresa for making our stay so special 🫶 We can’t wait to return!
