Nice and quiet, 10 min.walking to Jemaa el Fna
Very nice, quiet Riad located next to a safe commercial area. Not far from Jemaa El Fna square (aprox 10 minutes walking distance) and easy to find.
A warm welcome from Abdou and Fatima, they were always ready to help and to make our stay as comfortable as possible.
Abdou speaks english so no problem in communicating.
The rooms are cozy, spacious (the 2 suites on the first floor are a bit bigger) with aircon and heating, and very very clean.
Breakfast is OK. They offer dinner at the Riad and also can book excursions if you want.
We arranged the pick up from the airport with them, it was perfect and they took us door to door.
WIFI should improve, it works, but the signal is weak.
Overall a good place to stay and I'd recommend it to family and friends.

La struttura è una tipica casa marocchina che viene definita Riad e per chi non è a conoscenza di come siano, resterà stupito come lo siamo stati noi. è tenuto davvero molto bene. Il terrazzo all'ultimo piano come la piscina e la zona all'ingresso vengono puliti ogni mattina.
La struttura inoltre si trova in una traversa che per la maggior parte del nostro soggiorno non ci ha causato problemi con il sonno in quanto è una strada molto silenziosa.
Il personale della struttura è molto gentile, cordiale e premuroso. Come arrivati ci hanno mostrato le varie escursione e prenotato nei tempi da noi indicati, con una puntualità mai vista prima. Stessa cosa per la colazione, ottima, e servita in tempi record.
Promosso in pieno.

Een heel prettige riad, de locatie ten opzichte van het centrum is heel fijn. Je bent op loopafstand van het plein, daardoor kun je heel makkelijk de souks, restaurants en het plein bezoeken.
Het personeel Abdul, Fatima en Julien zijn vriendelijk en aardig. Adbul spreekt goed Engels. Fatima ook een beetje maar spreekt goed Frans. De kamers zijn erg mooi en ruim, badkamers zijn bijzonder groot. Het zwembad is klein maar goed om even af te koelen.

Romantic Oasis in the Medina
Lovely oasis close to the big market square in the heart of the Medina! We were able to walk to most of the tourist spots. Given the location, was completely surprised how quiet it was inside the Riad. We had no issues getting there via taxi. Phillipe was a welcoming host, and the two ladies who work there are kind and take really good care of the guests. The room was romantic and comfortable. We had hot water and good wifi. Breakfast is light, continental fare. Only complaint is that access to the Riad is via ringing a bell to be let in. We returned late one evening to find no one there to answer the door. We had to wait over 30 minutes for someone to arrive to let us in after finding wifi and getting a hold of Phillipe via email. Also, there is no tv in the room; one is available in a common area room. Otherwise, very happy with our stay and recommend it for a quiet place to stay in the middle of everything in Marakech.

Nice and very quiet place to stay
Nice and very quiet place to stay in center of the city itself. Service was very good, friendly and helpful personel but don't forget to pay the tip! We booked 2 separate rooms but the one downstairs smells due to the fact that the bathoom was a bit wet and moldy. On the other hand Hamman / massage is a real recommendation. Breakfast = French style

Nous avons aimé le calme de l'établissement, la gentillesse et la disponibilité du personnel.
Nous avons regretté le manque de luminosité naturelle dans la chambre, mais c'est peut-être le propre d'un riad.
Nous conseillons pour les activités à l'extérieur de passer par les comptoirs touristiques qu'on trouve un peu partout en ville, histoire d'avoir des tarifs meilleurs et négociables.

Riad charmant et chaleureux
Nous avons séjourné 3 nuits au Riad Mariana entre le 14 et le 17 août. Abdou et Fatima nous ont accueillis avec beaucoup de professionnalisme et de chaleur humaine. Le riad est très charmant, la chambre est spacieuse et la terrasse permet de prendre un bain de soleil tout en se relaxant au milieu de nombreuses plantes à fleurs. Milles merci à Fatima et Abdou qui ont été des hôtes exceptionnels.

Excellent location, lovely staff, perfect!
The location is a very short walk to the main market centre. It’s a beautiful Riad, spacious room with everything you could need. The pool isn’t so much for swimming in (it was very cold!) but was perfect for sitting with our legs in after a hot day walking. We spent time on the roof terrace too, reading and sun bathing with privacy.
The staff were so kind and helpful and made us early breakfast on the days we needed to be out.
We tried both lunch and dinner and both were lovely home cooking.
Gorgeous house cat too, very friendly!
We would highly recommend this place and would stay here again if we come back to the wonderful country of Morocco.

Delightful
Riad Mariana is a place of tranquillity after the constant hassle of the square. Easy to access all areas without getting too lost. Beds are very comfortable, air conditioning brilliant and roof terrace so peaceful. Was lovely to have a nice light breakfast on the roof each morning with bread, yoghurt, fresh orange juice and home made jam. Staff are great, you step out of your room and they appear as if by magic to see if you need anything. Fatima even walked along to the end of the street, insisting on carrying a bag, and waited with us till the taxi they had booked for us arrived. Highly recommended.

Joli riad, bien entretenu. La chambre que nous avions au premier étage avec deux lits simples accolés était propre et agréable. Les autres clients ne sont pas toujours discrets mais le gérant du riad n'y peut rien. Petit souci d'absence d'eau chaude mais on nous a proposé très rapidement d'utiliser la salle de bain d'une autre chambre et même de changer de chambre si on voulait. Philippe et les employés du riad sont gentils et efficaces. Dans l'ensemble, un bon rapport qualité/prix

Bon accueil grâce au Service de navette (un peu chère) et malgré une arrivée très tardive dans ce petit riad de la Médina . Nous avons passé 4 jours très agréables, petits déjeuners servis sur le toit terrasse au soleil, personnel attentif à vos besoins. Donnent de bon conseils sur les balades et les restos.

Riad agréable
Hôtel bien situé (accessible uniquement à pied) au calme. Le propriétaire et le personnel sont accueillants. On trouve tout ce que l’on attend dans ce type d’établissement avec salon de détente et terrasse pour le petit déjeuner. Seule petite ombre au tableau , problème d’humidité dans une des 2 chambres, mais elle devrait être refaite prochainement.
