“Simply wonderful”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 29, 2013

Dar Ayniwen is a real delight - we arrived at the airport for a six night stay, were met and transported to the hotel very efficiently and were welcomed and given a guided tour by Aziz (he's an outstanding manager).

Our suite (The Collonade) was even better than the website showed. Spacious, very comfortable and wonderful access to the gardens.

Dining was a real pleasure in the light and airy restaurant in the garden with a delicious menu including some special Moroccan specialties.

Travelling in and out of Marrakesh proved to be easy as Aziz always ensured we were taken and collected as we wished. Be guided by his recommendations on places to see where to eat!

In between exploring, we lazed by the pool, explored the fantastic gardens complete with a collection of exotic birds and found ourselves in numerous beautiful rooms in which to sit, read and chat.

All too soon our stay was over - but not before one of us slipped a disc in their back. Aziz promptly summoned a Doctor who was able to provide treatment, the staff (again all just great) brought meals to the room and looked after us both and we both travelled home as planned....the drive of the hotel transport going especially carefully when necessary.

All in all, this is a hotel to relish - it is very special - try it and see. We will be back - hopefully without any disc problems!

Room Tip: We thought they all looked great - see if you prefer to be in the main house or in the garden.

“Wonderful place to chill!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 24, 2013

We spent 4 days at this lovely villa just outside Marrakech city. So much better than staying in town at a raid, as we had lovely gardens, birds and a lovely pool to relax by. The staff were very helpful and accommodating. The owner Stephane met us on arrival, very charming.

Town was only 5 to 10 mins in their people carrier, which is offered free to guests, brilliant.

Dar Ayniwen is a little bit of paradise!

“an oasis of outstanding hospitality”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 15, 2013

We have just returned from a magical 7 day stay at Dar Ayniwen with our 3 children (9,7 and 3). The house and grounds were absolutely stunning, the staff incredibly welcoming, the food outstanding and the assistance provided by Stephane and Aziz went above and beyond. I really cannot recommend enough.

“Great Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 4, 2013

Stayed here in November last year. It was wonderful.

Staff were very friendly, food was superb and so was the accommodation. We were with another couple and they upgraded our room so that we had the two rooms and lounge on the first floor.

Aziz the manager was extremely helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Stephane the owner was very friendly and always made the effort to come and chat with his guests.

It was cold in the evenings in November so when we had dinner it was served in the house in front of a wonderful log fire, felt just like having your own country house.

Would recommend this small but extremely well run hotel to anyone looking for tranquility in Marakesh

“A fairy tale wedding under the stars of Marrakech”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 27, 2012 via mobile

My wife and I chose dar ayniwen as our wedding venue after visiting 17 different venues in Marrakech over 4 days, and we could not have been happier with our decision! We spent a weekend with our family and closest friends there and were pampered and catered to the entire stay. The house and garden are amazing and pictures simply do not do it justice. For anyone looking for a luxury weekend in a beautiful and green surrounding - look no further!

For anyone looking to organize any event, in our case it was our wedding, the service and attention that Stephane and Aziz and the rest of the staff provided were second to none! We have to admit it was daunting to organize the biggest day of our lives from abroad, but Stephane and staff did a good job at convincing us everything would be okay and most importantly, delivered a perfect celebration for our guests and my wife and I when the day finally arrived. We could not recommend it enough, they are truly experienced and professional when it comes to weddings.. They are also flexible, allowing you to customize the celebration to fit your needs. There is just nothing negative to say about the venue or the service! The preparation, the lighting, decoration, sound system, entertainment, dance floor, tables, dj, table service, bar, night snacks, the rooms, the list goes on.. Everything as we had dreamt of. And the FOOD! Delicious!

We want to thank Stephane and Aziz and the staff for making our big day perfect and can't wait to come back! We highly recommend it for any occasion, wedding or just a weekend!
