Our family travelled to Morocco over Christmas and New Years with another family. There were in total four adults and five children, ranging from 20 to 9. The accomodations suited us perfectly with the boys and girls closest in ages sharing rooms and the oldest child with her own room. I woud recommend taking the whole Riad if possible as it makes it feel like you are in your own home - only nicer!

Riad Hayati offered us the perfect first experience of Morocco. Unbelievably beautiful without being fussy, great location in the Medina but very protected.

And then there was the service from the kind Abdel and the excellent chef Mina who could not have been nicer. Breakfasts were great as was dinner the night we arrived.

Overall, not a single negative word to say -- this place was exactly as advertised -- an absolute jewel. I hope that you are lucky enough to have the experience.

We discovered Riad Hayati several years ago and it has become our home on our twice-yearly visits to Southern Morocco. The Riad is a perfect base from which to explore this vibrant city. It is a tribute to understated elegance, hushed and grown-up, a complete escape from the hustle, chatter ( and buzz of a million motor bikes! ).

I guess there is nowhere like Marrakech. You either love it or hate it. We love it! And the medina is the only place to stay to really feel the pulse of traditional Morocco.

The Riad has an absolutely perfect location, just a few minutes stroll from everyplace you want to be. And, Ron is a true gentleman, worldly and a perfect host. His staff, Mina and Abdel, will melt your heart with their caring, faultless service. Always discreet, but always there to spoil us.
Rooms are extremely comfortable with flowers,fruit, scented candles, wonderful bath amenities,robes and piles of fresh towels.

Mina's kitchen is always offering daily surprises. Fabulous tajines and heavenly French desserts. We almost always choose to have dinner in the riad. It truly rivals the better restaurants in town. Breakfast is served whenever we wake up. We can wear our robes and have it on the terrace or in one of the small nooks or salons

This is a very special place and we will keep calling it our home in Marrakech.

This is truly an oasis of tranquility in a city that suffers a tourist invasion. The location is perfect,close to everything but very quiet and private. You really feel at peace within these beautiful walls. The service is exceptionally and consistently faultless. We got the warmest welcome from Ron and his staff, Mina and Abdel. Mina's delicious cooking is something to remember. Everything is market-fresh, served by candlelight and cosy fireplace with soft Morrocan music making it all dreamy. Try her Poulet aux citrons tajine and that killer fudge choclate cake.for desert.

One other thing I should mention if the absolute comfort of the place. The bedrooms are designed for sound sleep and the salons are simply devine, one is a cosy little Ottoman treasure the other a vertable scene stealer large enough for a banquet and dancing.

I can't say enough about this enchanting place except that we were thrilled to find it and have already planned to return.

Elegant surroundings, great location & exceptional service make this Riad perfect for a short stay in Marrakech. We loved everything about it & our private day trips to the Atlas Mountains (go on a Monday if you can - wonderful Berber market en route) & Essouira (lovely lunch at Chalet de la Plage)were excellent. Ron has all the answers to your queries, Abdel cannot do enough to ensure you feel truly at home & Mina's cooking was delightful. Thankyou for a memorable few days.
