Absolutely fantastic hotel. The managenent and staff went above and beyond to make our stay in Marakesh the best we could have wished for. We would highly recommend this hotel.
A Great Hotel, but a little far out from Marrakesh
A beautiful hotel with amazing service. The hotel is a like far out from the centre of Marrakesh, but there is a very good and reasonably priced taxi service arranged by the hotel
Amazing service, staff was extremely attentive and the breakfast every morning was excellent. The bird sanctuary was a nice place to walk around and you can hear the birds singing in the morning. 10/10 would stay again.
Dar Ayniwen is a tranquil, refined paradise away from the hustle and bustle of central Marrakech. More like stepping inside a private home (which it once was), guests are treated to attentive but unobtrusive service in beautiful rooms furnished with antiques and Moroccan treasures. Food is utterly delicious. Days can be spent relaxing by the pool, exploring the beautiful gardens or taking in the sights of Marrakech (via the hotel’s shuttle). I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough - as a solo traveller I was thoroughly looked after and shall most definitely return.
This property is an absolute oasis. The staff are phenomenal and the food is absolutely amazing. Probably the freshest home cooked meal I had in Morocco.
I went here for my birthday week celebration and feel almost like I'm wasting time writing this review because I could easily say "Ditto".
I travel at least 20 nights a year for pleasure and 60 - 80 nights a year for business. I stay in 5-star hotels whever they are available, love comfort but want to feel like I am in a different country when travelling to ... a different country. And I don't want to be treated like a king but I do want to be appreciated as a guest. And I LOVED THIS PLACE.
Plus (most of what others said is trueas well but here are the standouts):
- Manager and staff will do anything for you. Aziz is a rockstar!! Want a ride to a restaurant, booked by the manager? You've got it. Need a few movies in your room? Sure. Breakfast in bed? No problem. Tour of neighborhood on way to a spa at a competing hotel? No worries.
- Suites are ginormous, comfortable, and clean. Each is unique and make you feel as if you have a special apartment in an old (but not dated) chalet ... or I guess Riad.
- Grounds are unique and beautiful, with many many more birds than I expected. Lovely gardens that I imagine woudl be phenom during or after the rainy season.
- Bonus points for not only have an adaptor in the suite but having one with multiple outlets.
- Flower petals everywhere when they clean your suite. Great toiletries and amenties in the room.
- Peace and quiet. I had no idea the place was fully booked when we were there. It was SOOO quiet. Serene.
L’endroit est tout simplement magnifique, le parc est superbe et immense, la piscine de très bonne taille et en plus chauffée, le personnel est gentil et efficace, l’accueil est parfait, la cuisine excellente !
Un petit paradis !
Nous reviendrons
The gardens are spectacular, and the resort-like service makes it feel like paradise.

Beautiful grounds well kept exotic birds very lovely heated private pool plus heated common pool. Breakfast was lovely fresh squeezed orAnge juice everything day. Dinner was delicious especially duck FYI dinner lunch cost extra
Such a pleasure to stay here for almost a week. Our room/suite was the size of a flat with the most luxurious bathroom we've ever seen. Lovely heated pool and terrace, and absolutely beautiful gardens, an oasis of peace yet 15 minutes from the centre (subject to local traffic!). The staff couldn't do enough for us: transport, advice, bookings all taken care of. Special mention for the delicious cooking - it is more expensive than city centre restaurants but excellent value for the quality, everything prepared to order, organic / local for the most part. And they mix a mean cocktail! We loved it all and hope to return.
This is a lovely old property very quiet set in beautiful grounds with good food and friendly staff. They also offer an excellent and flexible shuttle service to the old town and restaurants.
J'ai tout aimé au sein de cet hôtel incroyable, un oasis dans la palmeraie au son d'oiseaux exotiques bref parfait. Merci à Stéphane et à tout son personnel qui sont aux petits soins.
On adore cette place, ce n’est pas la première fois qu’on y reste et on la recommande sans aucune hésitation, c’est un paradis sur terre!
La propreté, la gentillesse du personnel, le calme, le charme et l’authenticité du décor...tout
Ne manquez pas de goûter aux délices que prépare le chef Simo qui vous accueille même dans la cuisine et vous apprend comment il les prépare..
Merci à Stéphane et à Aziz.
En revanche, je ne recommande pas les soins esthétiques
The hotel is a few miles away from the medina but includes a free shuttle service which is very convenient. The rooms are very large although a bit dated and the grounds are beautiful and spacious. The hotel is popular with families and so not as romantic as the photos would suggest.
A lovely oasis to chill out and relax by the pool which is set in a garden with wandering tortoises and the background chatter of many birds. The food at Dar Ayniwen was delicious and showed off the local cuisine perfectly.
Dar Ayniwen är ett litet paradis. Hotellet är ombonat och personligt och ligger i en härlig trädgård med uppvärmd vacker pool. Alla är dessutom väldigt hjälpsamma och gulliga.
A estadia foi maravilhosa! Pessoal do hotel nos recebeu muito bem! E o lugar é lindo! Uma vantagem é que tem um transfer que nos ajuda a deslocar para onde quisermos, recomendo!
Beautiful hotel and gardens. Great owner/ manager. Food excellent. Rooms large and stylish, many with courtyards, more like suites. Only negative, bathrooms lacking separate shower, baths too large, water pressure low.
I can’t recommend this hotel enough, Stefan the owner is such a nice guy and really cares for his guests as does his staff ! The rooms are amazing and the gardens. Food is top notch aswell !
