Marrakech Riads Angsana Heritage Collection

We stayed at Riad Tiwaline for a week. On arrival from the airport, our taxi was matched at the car park by a young man from the main Riad, Si Said. He helped with our luggage and took us to reception. We had a lovely welcome and whilst passports were being logged and our luggage transported to the.Tivaline we were offered mint tea and some tasty small pastries. For a deposit we were given a mobile phone, in order that if we had any problems we could phone the hotel, whose number was programmed into the phone. We also had access to Maps on the phone in case we got lost through the myriad of alleyways and shopping lanes. We were then taken the short walk to the Tiwaline. The Tiwaline has just six guest rooms over three floors. It is a lovely old building and it immediately felt calm and welcoming. There is a roof terrace, which sadly we didn’t get much use from as the weather was really quite chilly for the time of year. There were two really comfortable lounge seating areas and the courtyard offered a further seating area plus the chairs and tables for breakfast in the mornings. After the hustle and bustle of the city, the.Riad offered peace and calm on your return. Zachariah attended us at breakfast. He was efficient and welcoming. The breakfast was a good start to the day. Although you choose your breakfast the day before from the card left in your room, the staff never complained if you decided to change your mind. My husband really enjoyed the omelettes. The cake offered at breakfast was lovely and most mornings we would ask Zachariah if we could take it with us for later. It was lovely to return to the. Riad in the afternoon and make a cup of tea to have with a cake. We never got to meet the lady cooking breakfast, but she did a fab job! As did the housekeeping team. The Riad was spotlessly clean. Plenty of tea and coffee. Freshwater was available to refill bottles. Toiletries provided. The bed was very comfortable. We had dinner at the Si Said. Do not expect fast food! The food is cooked to order and it’s clear that the chef enjoys his job. The meals are delicious and very well presented. The food in Morocco was for me the surprise highlight of the trip. I don’t enjoy particularly large meals but I do enjoy tasty food and love to try new dishes. The Moroccans really know how to use the spices available to them. Eating out in Morocco is similar in price to the UK in the quality restaurants and cafés. However, in most the food is outstanding and it is well worth trying local dishes and not necessarily just sticking to a tajine. . Visit the spice souk nearby Andy our will see and smell all the wonderful spices that the Moroccans have access to use. The Riad is extremely well situated and only a short walk from the Palace Bahia. 10 minute walk from the main square, Jemaa el Fnaa. Closer in the other direction is the tin smiths square or Place des Ferblantiers. A fab place for coffee or lunch and watching the world go by. If you want to avoid the hawker in the area, go to the upper floor of the Kosy Bar. If you want to go on a trip to the Atlas mountains, I would suggest you ask the hotel for a reputable company to take you, or book directly through them. Ensure you clarify at the time exactly what is included in the trip.It may cost more but probably worth it. We booked a trip with someone who looked and sounded very plausible, based in the tin smith’s square. Although we were told everything was included, when we finished part of the trip with the guide, he then demanded an additional.100MAD (approx£10) per person. We would absolutely return to the Angsana Riads again. We were very pleased with the. Tiwaline but also heard good things of the.Riad Blanc which is part of their collection and close by, so perhaps would there.

Great riad very well located in the Medina. Amazing service from the Staff especially Mohamed who was very helpful all along the week. Breakfast are typically marocan and very good. The only negative point, the evening are a bit noise as the restaurant is always full u til 10:30 pm but a details compare to the rest of the experience. A great place to go.

From the location, to the welcome, to the room, the atmospheric dining experience and the fantastic spa, our visit to Angsana and Marrakech was a faultless experience. All the staff were superb, a huge thank you and we look forward to returning with the rest of our family in the future.

The important thing to recognize with Marrakesh is the location and type of your hotel influences the experience you will have. If you are looking for an authentic Moroccan experience inside the Medina this location is perfect. You have an easy 2-3 minute walk to one of the main streets in Medina. The Bahia Palace and Culinary Museum for cooking class also just a few feet away. The exceptional team will make you feel like you have arrived at your Moroccan home. The Riad Blanc suite I stayed in was beautifully appointed with a comfortable bed. The bathroom was large. Plenty of space to unpack in to wardrobes. A small mini fridge was in the room where I was able to store my water bottle filled from a water cooler in the courtyard. As a solo female traveler I felt safe and comfortable my entire trip. Mohamed, Kamal, Mr. Mahman and the whole team went above and beyond to make my experience special. They even procured a tagine for me to bring home when stores closed early to break fast. The ladies in the Riad Bab Firdhous Hamman provided a relaxing and unique experience. Breakfast is included and extensive. There are rooftops at the Riads but if you are a sun worshipper looking for a place to get a tan next to a pool this is not the place. The knowledge of the whole team and their willingness to go above and beyond made this 5 day trip a memorable Moroccan adventure that I hope is the first of many.

This place was simply amazing. We stayed in the Riad Blanc which was beautiful and so tranquil after the madness of the medina! The staff were amazing - literally could not have done more for us both. Also highly recommend their Hamman and massage experience which was the best spa experience we’ve had as a couple.
